An anime-themed rhythm game based on the Project Diva engine called Miracle Girls Festival will launch in Japan on December 17th for PS Vita.
If you are not able to find the right game why not try these out as the game features characters from such series’ as Yuru Yuri, Go Go 575, Kirino Mosaic and Arpeggio of Blue Steel. Those are things that exist apparently.
You can watch a gameplay trailer below. It all looks incredibly similar to a Project Diva game so it instantly has my attention because God damn do I love that series:
Despite only being confirmed for a Japanese release, this game can be imported and played on any PS Vita due to the console’s lack of region lock. I’ve personally had no trouble learning to play Project Diva using my Japanese copies and I have no understanding of the language so if I can do it, anyone can.

There’s quite a bit of new information floating around regarding SEGA’s new arcade fighting game Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax.
While the game features a cast of characters from various anime and manga series’, SEGA fans will be interested in the Sonic the Hedgehog stage (see above). The graphics seem to be taken from Green Hill in Sonic Generations.
Also announced is that Akira from Virtua Fighter will appear as a boss character. Other character announcements include the inclusion of Kirito from Sword Art Online.
Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is due to hit Japanese arcades this spring with demos available to play at the Japan Amusement Expo on February 14th and 15th at Makuhari Messe near Tokyo.
Hero Bank, the upcoming RPG/fighter for the 3DS will be getting its own anime series in Japan. The series starts broadcasting in April, only a month after the games Japanese release.
