What do you mean Im late to the fad? Thats my moe!
Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai is a 2012 rhythm game created by Sega and Crypton Future Media for the Nintendo 3DS. The game is a spin-off of the Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series of Vocaloid rhythm games and was first released on March 8, 2012 in Japan with no international release. Like the original the game primarily makes use of Vocaloids, a series of singing synthesizer software, and the songs created using these vocaloids most notably the virtual-diva Vocaloid Hatsune Miku.

not sure if anyone on here has played it, but I've watched some play through and it looks fun, I'm planing on getting it
 
the seller said it has no region protection and should work on any 3ds
or I could just change my settings to pretend I'm in/from Japan and possibly trick it if that does happen
 
could it work on a Canadian 3ds?

also thats kind of evil some games only work on certain nations versions, considering many games don't get international release
 
It only works on a Japanese 3DS, but I think it's only because non-Japanese 3DS's don't have Japanese compatibility, and because the game itself has no English features, it wouldn't work properly anyways.

I believe this snapshot is from Project Mirai 2nd, which makes me even more sad because

Who could say no to that face ;-;
 
what possible benefit could even come from nintendo using region locks anyway?

Canada is a country in America, so no.

That isn't true, the only differences between region's 3DS's are some hardcoded variable telling the 3DS where they're from. They are otherwise equal to each other, also in compatibility.
 
but why bother to have region locks
is it so they can charge more for games in some places without customers just buying them online from cheaper places?

It's an old school method to defeat pirates
