What is up with this game? It’s sweet making the Vita more know, but what is the game? Is it like DJ Max? I know Hatsune Miku as a virtual singer so is the game like a tapping to the beat game?
I just watched a video on it and it is a music beat game. I knew it would only take one popular game to get the sales going. I wonder what game will get the sales going in the U.S. There are a lot of promising games coming out and I hope they are awesome.
Yeah just one game and BOOM increase in 40,000 sales, wow.
