Welcome to this week's Games Update, our weekly summary featuring all new product arrivals from the last seven days.

The stylish rhythm game with the rising star in the music industry, Miku, is here in her very own game Project Diva.
Project Diva is Miku's serious debut into the game world. Produce Miku into a top idol, control her dance motions in the rhythm games. The quicker your reflexes, the better she dances.
