* OddballInTheSeries: ''DIVA Arcade'' takes a few liberties from its handheld and console counterparts:
** The [[MercyInvincibility safety mode]] at the beginning of the game.
** The game runs at 60 frames per second instead of 30. Not even ''Project DIVA F'' on [=PlayStation=] 3 runs at more than 30 FPS.
** Holds are no longer mandatory. Holding a hold note down simply gives you bonus points, up to 3000 per hold note if another note of the same button doesn't appear early enough to interrupt the hold.
** "Chord" notes now use different buttons. On harder difficulties, chords of 3 and 4 buttons are not uncommon.

* LicensedGame: In two ways. It's themed around the Crypton-produced Vocaloids (this unfortunately means no Gumi or Gakupo, for instance) and a few fan derivatives, and technically, every single song is a licensed song, since they're preexisting songs made by producers who are not SEGA staff.

The aim of the game is simple. Hit the buttons in time to the music until you win! This task is spiced up by detailed, unique 3D music videos for each song, as well as quite frankly ridiculous bonus difficulties. The series hasn't left Japan yet[[hottip:*:Except for the ''Miku Flick'' [=iOS=] titles, and Sega have teased a localisation of ''F'']], but it's relatively import-friendly.

'''Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA''' is a series of {{Vocaloid}}-themed [[RhythmGame rhythm games]] released by {{Sega}}. As the title may very vaguely imply, Miku is front and center, although the other Crypton Vocaloids[[hottip:*:Namely, Rin, Len, Luka, Meiko, and Kaito.]] get their share of the spotlight, as well.

The aim of the game is simple. Hit the buttons in time to the music until you win! This task is spiced up by detailed, unique 3D music videos for each song, as well as quite frankly ridiculous bonus difficulties. The series hasn't left Japan yet[[hottip:*:Except for the ''Miku Flick'' [=iOS=] titles, and Sega have teased a localisation of ''F'']], but it's relatively import-friendly.
