Hatsune Miku: Review of the Diva Mega Mix Project (Switch) - Take your baby by hand

Our favorite digital pop idol has finally entered the Nintendo Switch and what entry in full swing she made. Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Mega Mix is ​​the last entrance to this series of electronic pop rhythms and not only we have more than 100 songs to choose from, 10 songs that appear, we also have a brand new feature designed for motion controllers Nintendo Switch. There is without a doubt a ton of content to go while you listen and look at your favorite pop idols sing and dancing, but is it up to the previous entries?

First of all, for those who may not know the Hatsune Miku games, it s about matching the rhythms. While playing a song, the target icons indicate the correlation button on which you need to press, as well as in what order will appear on the screen in a myriad of different models. It is not enough to press the right buttons because the icons will have a small timer that considers how close you are to hit the rhythm correctly. You can see how much you are dealing with partitions that appear on your screen from cool up to Miss. If you miss too many notes, your song will end immediately with a sad failed logo scattered on your screen.

We understand, rhythm games can be difficult and the Hatsune Miku games are just as relentless, but they have some options for players who are starting or who may not possibly play with a normal difficulty. Project Diva Mega Mix offers Easy, normal and hard. For those looking for a real challenge, there are also extreme and extra extreme difficulty modes that can also be played once these songs unlocked. Whatever the category in which your rhythmic skills enter, there is a ton of songs that you can play at your own pace.

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Mega Mix also offers a new exclusive game mode for Nintendo Switch, using switches gyroscopes in Joy-Cons. This mode is simply called Mix Mode and the players will tilt the controllers to match the color coded bars with the beat icons at the bottom of the screen while pressing the associated shoulder buttons. I loved the idea of ​​Mix mode but my boy was hard! I had hoped that this new mode would call somewhat the Just Dance series, so I could not help but feel a little disappointed. Especially since I seem to have a lot of problems with my joy-cons that drift more recently. But once I played some workouts, I started understanding and I quickly could finish a lot of songs on normal and difficult difficulties with decent scores.

Now let s talk about loading times. The loading times in this title vary considerably and seem almost random, some taking almost 30 seconds to others being almost instantaneous. This is not a big problem, but when you are in a long game session, it can get you out of the area if you wait for some songs to start.

So, what makes this game different from others from the series? Well, it depends on whom you ask for it. If you are a big fan of Miku games, you will see many of the same songs that Project Diva Mega Mix is ​​essentially a diluted version of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone on PS4. With half of the number of songs and very similar menus, the fans of the series will see some of these songs from 3 to 4 times compared to previous titles. I had hoped that there would be more exclusive songs, currently, there is only 10, but who knows, maybe we will have more in the future! In the meantime, you can always read your favorite songs and try to get this high score in Mix mode.

I usually like playing my switch in portable mode and I was pleasantly surprised that it seems to work perfectly despite the intensity of colors and video performance in the background. I only found a few songs that seemed to drop in video quality, running 30 frames per second, but for the most part, most songs did not fall. But despite the drop in the frequency of images, it does not entail the gameplay at all and honestly, it feels good to play a game that works and looks as well on the move.

Another thing to note, word game totally intended, is the extremely impressive list of clothing and accessories that can be customized. In total, there are approximately 700+ items that can be mixed and matching from accessories, hair and random outfits. Do you want something more exclusive to you or your brand? There is also an impressive T-shirt editing mode that can be used with your switch s touch screen for better accuracy, even if it may take a while to master.

Miku connected to COG represents!

For fans who could buy this title as their first Miku game, there is a ton of content featuring your favorite songs and adored pop idols. For those who play from the first days of Hatsune Miku, you can be a little disappointed with the lack of new songs. But with the addition of Mix mode, there is still enough content to attract your attention.
