So, will the new controllers will work with the old Dreamy theater ? I think it will, there are all the buttons that are on the first controller


I think the answer is in the description, here is what google translated :

※ 本品はPlayStation®3用のコントローラとして「初音ミク -Project DIVA- F」以外のゲームにもご使用いただけます。
(弊社にて「初音ミク -Project DIVA- ドリーミーシアター」「初音ミク -Project DIVA- ドリーミーシアター 2nd」でも動作確認をしています。)


※ This product can also be used in non-game "Hatsune Miku-Project DIVA-F" as the controller for the PlayStation ® 3.
(Has been tested to work even Miku-Project DIVA-Dreamy Theater 2nd "Hatsune" "Miku Hatsune-Project DIVA-Dreamy Theater" at us.)

I know google translate is not perfect but i think it's the answer you were looking after ? You can play the two first dreamy theater (why didn't they talked about dreamy theater extend ? it's the same gameplay, no ?)

 

Will the smaller controller still allow you to have a arcade type feel or is it basically just a glorified dual shock controller?

 

Thanks for the tips infinity-happy end-. Contacted mbttoys.com and just got a return message. Sadly, HORI's preorders are completely sold out. So at the moment, the only way to order the large controller is from Play-Asia.... Ah, not sure what to do. Look around more and risk not getting a preorder there, or just take the bullet and preorder at that price..... aaaah.....

Well, from this image, you can see a dualshock (well, part of one) in the bottom center of the picture. Looks like the small diva controller will replicate the arcade expiriance a bit as it is larger than a normal controller by quite a bit still, but it is still only half the size of the large diva controller.

Beware with Play-asia, everytime they cancelled pre-orders with limited editions to put a higher price and they said "hoo, we are sorry, but our usual suppliers were not able to give us all the items, we were forced to buy them at another retailer and the price is higher, do you still want this ?".

They did it with all the PSvita limited Miku edition, with the first "Project Diva Dreamy Theater 2nd Controller" 100$ more, with the PSvita and The japanese 3DS

AmiAmi is great. I use them for 80-90% of my figure needs (which sadly comes to like $500-1000 dollars a month.... man, I really should cut back). They're very timely and helpful. I sent them an e-mail asking about the large controller. They replied the next day (yay fast), but with sad news that the large controller was a HORI site exclusive item and that was the reason they did not have it on their site.

Personally, definitly getting the game from AmiAmi as I already have some figures pre-ordered for that month, so I'll just combine my order with those to get them shipped. Having trouble making the decision on whether to pre-order the small controller as well. As much as I'd like it, if I do pre-order the Large controller, that's $550 from Play-Asia... adding another hundred on top of that for a second controller, when the game only uses one is really hard to justify, even as a collector. If I don't pre-order the large controller, I'm definitely getting the small one from AmiAmi though.


...aah decisions... Any thoughts?

Ha, the silly notion of having the money or being reasonable when it comes to these things =^.^=

While I never borrow money, with the amount I spend, I've got nothing left. I really should learn some restraint so that I have some in case of an emergency. But I do love to collect things and I do love Miku. I'll want one or the other... maybe I'll wait a few more days to make my decision, if pre-orders are sold out at Play-Asia on the large controllers by then, then ah well, mini it is. If not, I'll have to decide...

Well, as of Thursday, the 29th, looks like Play-Asia has sold out of its pre-orders on the Large Controller. Guess that decision is decided for me then, unless I can find it from another source (or if one of you see it sold another place, that'd be wonderous).

AmiAmi has added a pre-order bonus rubber Miku keychain for anyone who pre-ordered the game or will pre-order the game.

Looks like both AmiAmi and Play-Asia are still taking reserves on the small controller.

A big up for this topic :

For those who really, really, really want/need/must have the BIG controller, you can find now TWO on the yahoo auctions

With the buy it now option: 39,980 ¥ and 39,800 ¥, yes, it's more than the first price ¥ 33,900, and the shipping cost will cost you an arm or two :/

Remember that the release date is still 2013/03/07, these sellers are only taking the money for something they don't have yet, scalpers !!

This is only for the winners of a national lottery.

EDIT : one more but the price :(

 

Maybe... if I throw my money out of the window, a controller will fly into my room XDDDDD
*obviously jk*

That price is impossible for me =_=

 

Didn't think I would have much of a chance at scoring myself any of these controllers after becoming interested in the game only a few weeks ago, but by some miraculous chance, there was still an available slot for the Full-Sized Arcade controller on Play-Asia; perhaps someone cancelled their pre-order? It's quite interesting to see the pre-order availability of these two items constantly change on a day-to-day basis; one day the Mini-Controllers are all gone, and the next they're open for pre-order again. :S

Before anyone asks why I would spend such a ludicrous amount of money on the controller; it's still far cheaper than buying the arcade machine outright, which was my initial plan before discovering that it was practically impossible to do so. Besides, nothing beats playing a game the way it was meant to be played, whether that means using CRT monitors or digital micro-switch joysticks. ^_^
