Hatsune Miku mobile games seem to now be the rage in China recently, with “初音速: Roller Skating Music” (初音速 = Hatsune Speed) announced for an upcoming open beta release! The game was teased at Comicup (China’s version of Comiket) in China earlier this month, and is being developed by Miyoo Entertainment. The game genre is an interesting hybrid of Rhythm and Racing styles, with competitive play modes and character customization features.

It has been announced on the game’s official site that an open beta will start “soon” for iOS users, but an exact date is still unknown. An Android release also appears to be in the works. Below is a gallery of gameplay images and artworks from the official Hatsune Speed game site, and their Weibo. We’ll share further details once we get them!

At the recent Miku Expo in Shanghai, China, a new Hatsune Miku mobile game titled “Dreamy Vocal” was demoed publicly for the first time. News of the game came late last month, but was somehow overlooked by a lot of the overseas fanbase until recently.

From the people who played it, the game apparently borrows design ideas from Love Live! and Idol Master. It is being developed by Black Sugar Studio, a Chinese game company, in close collaboration with Crypton Future Media. Besides being a rhythm game, features such as online player interaction and battle modes (multiplayer) are confirmed, and the expected costume customization features.

The game is expected to launch later this month for both Android and iOS platforms. It’s rumored be a free to play game, with a microtransaction store. Pre-registrations are currently open, although it seems not all phone numbers work (mine did, but it didn’t work for another friend). This is not required to play the game, however. It’s also unknown if the game will be region locked to China.

Barring the reduced quality of the recording, what do you guys think of it?
