I know what you’re thinking. Only 11 new songs! Some of the songs don’t even have new PVs. However, this is irrelevant to me. I am a Project Diva fanatic who has needed a main series game on a Nintendo console. While my most played Project Diva game is Future Tone on PS4, I’ve also played other titles such as the spin off Project Mirai DX.

While Project Mirai DX was just a spin off, it had a fun gameplay that made good use of a game system not designed for rythm games. Along with that, Project Mirai had Gumi in it! Gumi has not appeared in a Project Diva game since these spin offs. Ever since Project Mirai DX came out I have been hoping for Project Diva to return to a Nintendo Console. After I purchased my Switch I realized just how much I wanted this game series playable on it. Upon Mega Mix’s announcement there was a bit of controversy surrounding the game. The game reuses the same assets from Future Tone on a binary level, along with only having 11 new songs.

While its fair to be upset about the lack of new content, I do believe that the game is still a necessary installment regardless. One of the main complaints is the reuse of PV’s. I must remind those who feel this way that some PV’s have been reuses since their introduction in Project Diva on PSP.

The reuse of Motion Capture does not bother me much. If its not broke what’s the point in fixing it? If they were to update old PVs I certainly would not complain, but I do not think that is necessary for a Project Diva game on Switch. Project Diva Mega Mix does have a few new PV’s, including Roki, Teo, 39! Music, and the titular song Catch the Wave. All of the gameplay I’ve seen of these PV’s have been really good. I enjoy all of them quite a considerable bit.

Teo‘s PV and Hibana’s comes to mind when I think of new PV’s I enjoy.

Hibana in particular looks quite epic. All in all, I am hype for Project Diva Mega Mix. Project Diva in its true glory has needed to be on a Nintendo Console for a long time. I believe that Nintendo fans are going to be really happy with Hatsune Miku’s arrival. Portability is the icing on the cake that ensures I will be purchasing this game next month.

Oh yeah! Even though this game isn’t coming out until months from now in the West, you can purchase this game on the Japanese Nintendo eshop when it releases in just a few weeks in Japan. Just remember that you’ll have to figure out the menus since they will be in Japanese.

Project Diva Mega Mix Releases Febuary 13th!
