SegaShiro: Pure SEGA HARDCORE!

Archive for the ‘Engrish!’ Category

The last minute and 22 seconds of the video is dedicated to Miku and her new but classic costume. I gotta say I do dig the cell-shaded graphics for the vocaloids – I wonder if SEGA will go that route for the PSVita version. Read the rest of this entry »

Hatsune Miku has been a part of the Google Chrome campaign from the beginning as her theme was the first one I ever downloaded back when the browser was first introduced. Now that the browser is getting quite popular the TV ads are featuring (so-called) stars like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber.

Japan however gets Hatsune Miku…and that is just awesome. I can’t think of a better pop icon to promote the web.

I highly doubt that this will make it into the final game in the West but SEGA’s Virtua Tennis for the PSVita does have a bit of solid Engrish in it.

It isn’t as classic as Aero Fighters’ “We must Fry to Paris” or Samurai Showdown’s “Victoly!” but it is nice to see Engrish isn’t completely dead.

OMG. It’s BINGO time! Worth watching just for the announcer. This is one of those gambling games that nets SEGA bank. As long as I get my Binary Domain and Yakuza titles…Japan can keep these ones.

Though it is very, very shiny.

SEGA will be appreciating the virtual pop idol in Japan with an event that seems to include a performance!

_{“The Appreciation Festival event will be held at Tokyo Dome City Hall. The first day is the Hatsune Miku Live Party 2012 event. The second day is the Hatsune Miku concert event. Both days have afternoon and night showings. Tickets for each show run ¥6,300.”}

I would think with tickets running in the US$80 range that it should be a concert that rivals the 39′s Giving Day event. SEGA of Japan has launched a website in support of the event.

I love Platinum Games and while SEGA has been quiet on the Anarchy Reigns front…Platinum Games has updated their recruitment page with a Japanese manga.

The storyline revolves around a young intern trying to become a game designer. It features industry talent like Atsushi Inaba, Hideki Kamiya and even Bayonetta. I hope someone translates this into English for us Westerners!
