Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Mega Mix Nintendo Switch Review 

You may notice some black lines on the screen as the notes intensify. This is nothing to do with the game and was the fault of my capture card. I seem to remember it doing something similar during my Northgard review months back and, annoyingly, it decided to do it again here. Apologies. Glen

You guys always seem to keep an open mind when it comes to whatever games you are covering on your channel, which i always appreciate. Keep up the great reviews :)

Big ups to the reviewer for giving such a fair review, even after not liking the music. It can be very divisive if you don't care for the style.

Hatsune Miku and the Vocaloids aren’t for everyone. But it’s nice to see first timers playing the game and giving their honest opinion on it. If it’s not your thing, that’s fine. But it is a pretty fun game! I’m just happy we finally got it on the Switch and I can take it on the go. Great review!😁

I’m probably one of the biggest Vocaloid fans out there - and I’m stoked that you guys covered this game even though it’s not your usual bag. I’ve already dropped dozens of hours on the Japanese version of this game and am happily doing it all over again for the US version. Cheers guys!!!

I suck at this game, but i watch the music videos. Don't regret buying this at all

Thanks Glen! Good Effort! I live in Taiwan. This is a J-pop phenomenon, where she’s celebrated like a real idol. Incredible value if your into J-pop. This is a juggernaut of a title, and absolute perfection, for it’s intended audience. I’m not a huge fan of the music, personally. Watching Glen review this, was like watching a Japanese reviewer, in all earnestness and to his best ability, review Football Manager.

Just a bit of added context for anybody familiar with the series - aside from the addition of Mix Mode and the ten new songs, as well as the re-stylized character models, this is essentially a port of the Project Diva Future Tone game on PS4, which is itself a port of an arcade game. The Arcade Mode controls match that, rather than the older portable Project Diva games, and the menus are exactly the same. However, while the full version of Future Tone on PS4 has I believe over 300 songs, this one has considerably less. I will say the cell-shaded character models in this one look infinitely better than the horrifying plastic doll-looking models from Future Tone.

Honestly a pretty challenging game just from the demo alone. I cant even imagine what the other songs would be like. The thing, that stops me is the pricing, its fair, but there is always other games with less price sorta say. Anyhow nice review!

A lot of people don't understand how to play mix mode but trust me when you know how to play it it's super fun

This was a very fair review the only thing I would add is something a new player may not appreciate as much. There is an option to change the prompts to the playstation buttons.(triangle circle square X) this is a big deal becuase this series lived on the playstation and even the arcade versions use these prompts. So players who might like this as a portable option to the ps4 games can easily pick this 1 up.

I would buy it if I could afford. Great vid!!

I think you guys did a great job at reviewing this game even though you haven't played the other games or enjoy the music much and I like that you guys did research on it as well. I've played a bit of Future Tone on PS4 and I actually love the new Mix Mode in this one, I've been playing it more then Arcade. I'm not sure how you've been having trouble with the Joy Con's because for me they work great.

Well.... I appreciate your courage to test such a game as it is accessible only to a special interest group. Otherwise keep on switching. Great channel!

Can only play the demo. Too broke to get it 🙃 rip me

Fun Fact: A cow-bison hybrid is called a “beefalo”

I got distracted by the backgrounds and with the buttons flying around I felt like I was getting cross eyed. I'm glad y'all reviewed this game!

I just got an ad to this game before watching your review. lol Great review! I used to like listening Miku's songs.

Future tone on ps4 is the ultimate celebration of the series 224 songs in the base game and 238 with all the dlc, also the new songs are coming to future tone so really the appeal for mega mix for future tone owners is the handheld mode as future tone is Just superior in every way and the dlc is also basically are all future tone base game songs

The animated PVs are outstanding

I've only ever played the Project Diva games on PSP and have never played games after them until this game came out on Nintendo Switch. The drastic change in difficulty between the PSP games and this one gave me whiplash! This game has turned into an absolute monster when it comes to difficulty!

-Not enough new content for veterans If anything, most veterans seem a bit perturbed by the fact that more of the classic songs didn't make it in. Especially since MegaMix is a modified port of the PS4 version which has 220+ song for the same $60 price tag. While new stuff is always welcome, personally I wish they'd show a bit more love to the Diva X songs since they're some of the best in the franchise, there just wasn't enough of them and they were locked behind a godawful story mode.

I played a metric boatload of the Vita game. Just about beat every song on extreme, and even perfected a dozen on that difficulty.

I’m into a bit of J-pop but admit I know very little a life vocaloid and Hatsune Miku. Very interesting to hear the perspective of someone who previously knew little also. I’d say despite the fact that it could be great I’d give it a miss as it seems risky but hey there’s a demo! I think this particular kind of title with a somewhat more niche genre and definitely more niche subject matter really needs a demo. I’ll have to check it out and see what the go is. Honestly I really wasn’t sure what to expect going into this review (who would do it, what kind of reaction would they have?) but as always Glen you’ve given it a really honest go and taken it seriously. These reviews have come such a long way mate you both just keep improving!!! Top stuff.

Liking the music being a major criteria, i won't take it. You guys tho are awesome for reviewing it for people who are into it. I'm personally hoping to see a Theathrythm game but for other franchises than FF, this game got me even if FFX was the only game i finished in the series, this is how amazing music can win you

just a tip that worked for me in mix mode, hold the joycons with the shoulder buttons facing up and have the joy con slightly tilted to the side (in a way thats comfortable when resting your wrists) but yeah holding them upright just hurts and makes the response weird so tilting them a bit outward fixed the problem for me!

Awesome 😎 game love playing it on switch also they just released a third dlc bundle for this game which adds 72 new songs to the game and this Game now has 250 songs which Is awesome 😎

Oh my - Rhythm Games. I used to be really into Rhythm Heaven on the 3DS as well. And now this intrigues me quite a bit! Will check out the demo! 😁

It reminds me a lot of Elite Beat Agents on the DS but nothing has come to close to beating that yet.

Ha! No lie, the first ad that popped up was for this game! The stars have aligned it seems! 😁

I’m gonna download the demo right now! Looks like something I wud enjoy😁

Just the UI is lovely. I always want my rhythm games as touch screen but I might give this a try.

how many songs does the base game come with on nintendo? Not the 60$ bundle ( hatsune miku: project diva mega mix mega pack). Im looking to buy the 40$ game (hatsune miku: project dive mega mix) on the switch, but i just wanna know how many songs it comes with. also im not talking about the seperate bundles!

PS: i'm trying to remember the name of a cool rythm game concept: you played as a bird jumping on lines on the beat of the song, it felt like a mix of rythm games and platform games

Really want this but currently playing through Taiko with the drum peripheral. Will dip once the price falls below £35 for the mega mix. Great review

This game is so so hard or I’m just useless at rhythm games. Catchy songs but boy it’s insane.

Personally Mix mode is perfectly fine and I don't have any issues with it. The inverted controls is very strange because I didn't have that problem.

Wow another video game. I’m not familiar with it. Thank you for the review ! Laura .

4:13 Are you sure there isn't something strange going on? I hold the Joy Cons the same way I would with ARMS (with the SL/SR buttons facing away from me), and had no particular issues getting the cursor to go left and right when I tilted the Joy Cons left and right respectively.

Good vid. Nice review. Always better then ign

Good addictive loop gameplay, not sure is it's for me, probably Will wait for a sale but looks like a lot of fun

Great video. Keep it up!

if anyone wants to see just how hectic and insane this game gets watch hisokee on youtube. his extra extreme plays are godlike

I bought it today... why is it that i cant change voices? Does anybody know? Is there a certain requirement to get exactly that?... i havent unlocked the 2 hardest difficulities yet... is there a requirement to that aswell?

I've only got a Switch Lite. Is the Joy Con playstyle an exclusive mode or is it an optional way of playing?

This is so great video.... i love it!!!!

Please make a review of Indivisible for switch!!

I SOOOO Wont to Se a Live Concert whit hear one Day :D

Not my type of music. Better is Pianista. Good and fair review. B/R

I really enjoy rythm games, bur for some reason this one seems to repel me a little bit... I think it's because those mo-cap dancing routines start scratching my treshold of the uncanny valley

Man, rythm games (besides driving games) are my gaming kryptonite. I already see myself rage quitting on this one. Shame. :(

I miss rock band blitz. super basic no b(ullsh@#) all the rock band songs were dlc I'm not going to mention how much $$$ i spent, but I had 300+ songs and each was $2

Yaaaaaaaaa,hasute miku Epic

People actually buy this shit? Lmao. Thx for the review though!

Yeah nah Persona Dancing games are way better than this broken game.
