One of Sega’s thriving series, that continues to this day, is the Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series. Since it’s debut in 2009 it has seen massive success on many platforms, from PSP up to PS4. The series has also seen spin-offs on the Nintendo 3DS, the Project Mirai series, with the third installment being released worldwide.

Despite the success of the series, the only new content from the series that has been surfaced is costume DLC and difficulty additions in Project DIVA Future Tone, but there needs to be more than this if Sega wants this series to continue. I believe the answer lies within Nintendo...the Nintendo Switch.

Since it’s release in 2017, the Switch has become a financial success for Nintendo and one of the most popular Nintendo consoles of all time, selling 33.15 million units as of April 6, 2019. The ability to play video games at home and on the go with just one console makes it stand out and one that game developers would be pleased to develop their games for. What could this mean for the Project DIVA series? Good things.

If the series had a game on the Switch it could lead to more exposure, not only for the series, but for the Hatsune Miku franchise as a whole. As a fan of the franchise I would be excited to see it grow to larger numbers. There are a few ways this can be achieved:

1. Make a new Mirai or DIVA game exclusively for the Switch

2. Port any of their best performing games from the series onto the Switch (ie Project DIVA F or Future Tone)

My goal with this petition is to let Sega know that we care about the Project DIVA series, and we want to see it grow, and the best way for it to grow just may be on a console that has captured the heart of millions.
