Hatsune Miku: Project MIRAI Remix Announced for the West

Hatsune Miku, the loveable anime poster girl for the synthesizing music program known as “Vocaloid” has become an international sensation. She returns to us again in yet another video game (As we can all recall, she was in Hatsune Miku: Project Diva and Hatsune Miku: Project Diva 2nd, along with a few others).

What we are going to be getting here in the “West” (I am unsure if they are talking about releasing the game in North America, Europe, or both) is essentially a remix edition of Hatsune Miku: Project MIRAI 2 and will be the first time that Miku will be on a Nintendo platform outside of Japan.
