As with other titles in the series, Dragon Quest IX will feature turn-based combat. Some early details on gameplay seemed to reveal that the game will allow players to have a cooperative multiplayer experience for up to four players locally via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

The game is known to include a quest system. Quests are believed to serve as sub-stories, helping non-player characters around the game's world. Multiple quests can be performed simultaneously, with some even interlocking and unlocking various stages in fellow quests.

Early quests include gathering magical spring water, slaying monsters and stealing for a fellow thief. Unlike previous Dragon Quest installments it looks likely that Dragon Quest IX will contain many open ended mini-quests. Upon completion of the quests, a "Quest List log," serving as an in-game achievement list.

-from wiki-
Hatsune Miku is the first installment in the Vocaloid2 Character Vocal Series released on August 31, 2007. The name of the title and the character of the software was chosen by combining Hatsu , Ne, and Miku. The data for the voice was created by actually sampling the voice of Saki Fujita, a Japanese voice actress. Unlike general purpose speech synthesizers, the software is tuned to create J-pop songs commonly heard in anime, but it is possible to create songs from other genres.

Hatsune Miku will be given a PlayStation Portable game called Hatsune Miku: Project Diva to be released on July 2, 2009 by Sega. Hatsune Miku made a cameo appearance in the Lucky Star OVA in the form of Kagami's cosplay in her dream. She made a vocal appearance in the finale ending theme of the anime Akikan!. Hatsune Miku received the 2008 Seiun Award in the free category.
