This crystal box is glorious! How does the gameplay of this game compares to Project Diva series ?

It plays very similarly to the Project Diva series, minus the scratch notes. If you've played a lot of Project DIVA, there's not really too much to get adjusted to here. Instead of notes appearing anywhere on the screen, they come in from the edges of the screen along lines to a central point, where you need to press the corresponding button or buttons. Some times it switches to having notes traveling to the edge of a large circle from the inside. There were initially more features that made it stand apart from PD, but some of those were removed in the later stages of development. For example, the final version of the game no longer uses the control stick to move the circle towards notes.

Play-Asia still has the Crystal Box in stock if you're interested in buying one.

This video from Marvelous back in February does a pretty good job of showing off the gameplay.

Bought Kirby AirRide for Gamecube today.

Finally got my IA/VT Colorful Crystal Box Limited Edition today. I'm so happy to finally have it after all the delays the game has gone through.

This is so pretty! Awesome

Thanks for the details. I platted 1st Project Diva and grinding on 2nd time to time, sadly I got no JP account on PSN and it seems unlikely that this game will make it to the west.. I'll keep an eye on it anyway, it looks fun!

I want that game even though I don't own an XbOne.  But...I can't justify buying a new console for a $30 game.      Maybe after Halo 5 comes out, if it gets glowing reviews from both the press and actual users, then maybe, just maybe I'll buy one.

Bought a used CIB orange GameCube along with Tingle's Balloon Fight.

Nice.  I always wanted the spice orange version.  Loved that color on the controller.  Is it an import version?  I thought they never released that color in the states.

Yeah, orange spice is a Japan-only Gamecube color. Japan got a lot of cool color variations in consoles like the green Tales of Symphonia console, and controllers like a bluish emerald controller compared to NA and Europe.

It's my second orange cube I've imported. I've owned one for a while that I region modded, but I wanted CIB. I might go ahead and sell my old modded one since not quite as in good condition as the one I just bought.

I bought Unreal II for XBox and Wipeout 64 for the, you guessed it, N64!

I wouldn't wait for a localization if I were you. It's worth importing now if you're interested in it, and the game's producer said in an interview that it's very unlikely that the game will be localized due to the difficulty of obtaining the rights to use all the music in a version of the game for a different region.

Nice spice colored GameCube!

More stuff from my online bingeing arrived...

Including my first XBox One game.

Also a thrift store pickup (PS One mini)



Now if only I had an Xbox One.

It's actually cheaper to buy Rare Replay and an Xbox One than to buy all the games in Rare Replay at today's prices.
