Japan’s digital idol sensation Hatsune Miku is back in another rhythm game spectacular.

A new IP in the world of Nintendo is a rare thing indeed. One such title Nintendo is unleashing is entitled Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Developed by Intelligent Systems (Fire Emblem, Advance Wars), Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. is another fine turn-based title.
