The Hatsune Miku Project Diva rhythm-game franchise has been a long-running one since the glory days of the PlayStation Portable. While the game has primarily been playable on PlayStation consoles throughout its history, it has occasionally dabbled in Nintendo consoles such as the Nintendo 3DS. Making its debut on the Nintendo Switch, SEGA has confirmed Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix will be launched exclusively via the Nintendo eShop on 15 May 2020.
While calling it a “Mega Mix” might be a little questionable given there have been compilations with a much larger number of songs, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix features 101 songs spanning the franchise’s 10-year history in addition to a few new playable songs. Those who already own Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone for the PlayStation 4 will be able to access these new songs as DLC later in the year.
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix will be available as part of two downloadable sets. The game’s standard edition will be priced at $39.39 USD (or local equivalent) which comes with a copy of the full game. Those looking to splurge can pick up the game’s ‘Mega Pack’ for $59.99 USD (or local equivalent) which comes with six downloadable content packs of six songs each. If you want to buy each DLC pack individually, you can buy them standalone for $6.99 USD each.
Pre-ordering the game will grant you early access to a free 4-song ‘Theme Song DLC Pack’, containing playable versions of theme songs from previous Project DIVA titles:
- The secret garden by Kosaki Satoru
- Look This Way, Baby by ryo
- Sekiranun Graffiti by ryo
- Yumeyume by DECO*27
Want to give Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix a try? A demo is now available to download on the Nintendo eShop, offering access to two songs: Arifureta Sekai Seifuku and Romeo and Cinderella in either the traditional button-based ‘Arcade Mode’ or the all-new motion-based ‘Mix Mode’. Keep in mind that the motion-based ‘Mix Mode’ requires you to have two joycon controllers separate from the Nintendo Switch console, meaning that those with the Nintendo Switch Lite will not be able to play this mode.
