Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix Reviews
Mega Mix is a solid celebration of ten years of Hatsune Miku.
Mega Mix will likely be a fun entry for those newer to the series, but for veterans, it really doesn’t have much to offer. Stick to Future Tone instead.
All in all, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix is an addictive musical experience for old and new fans alike. With catchy music and engaging techno-pop visuals, as well as an elaborate customization menu, there is something here for everyone. Whether you’re playing at home or on a regular commute, Mega Mix leaves you wanting more.
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix is crammed with unlimited fun and awesome music, optimised for both playing at home and on the go. Despite the fewer number of songs in comparison to the PS4 counterpart, the Switch edition boasts unique features, modes and content, although there is a lot of day-one DLC which I feel should have been included. If you like Hatsune Miku, you’ll love this edition – it’s more of the same but playable on the go and at home – you can even opt to have PS button prompts so you can imagine you’re playing the Vita 2.0. Rhythm game fans and those looking for a private social-distancing concert in their own home should certainly check this out.
Personally, I think rhythm games are best suited to portable systems, with their pick-up-and-play nature going hand in hand with bite-sized gameplay. Mega Mix is a game I can see myself coming back to time and time again, and it’s bursting with enough content that I’m sure to have some fun with Miku for years to come.
Overall I really loved my time playing Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix. The music videos put a smile on my face and some of the songs I really loved and have stuck in my head hours after playing. With its huge list of songs and additional DLC you can add even more to the experience and there was already a lot to love about this game. The only thing some fans may not like is there is no The DIVA room mode like in the PS3/Vita game Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd. Other than that I really love this game!
Whether or not you play Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix on a Nintendo Switch or a Switch Lite, there’s a lot to offer in such a small package regardless if you buy the DLC bundle or not. There’s a little bit of everything for everyone from pop to rock and even electronic music, each song varies in challenge and it’s just the perfect balance to say that this package is the best offering of Hatsune Miku and is an absolute must-own for Nintendo Switch fans.
I’m still not sure that you can ever really call a rhythm game “perfect,” but Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix is as closest to perfection as I’ve ever seen a rhythm game get. As much as I’m aware that Vocaloid music isn’t for everyone, I honestly can’t help but recommend that anyone into rhythm games do themselves a favor and at least give this game a chance. You’ll only be hurting yourself in the long run if you don’t!
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix brings more of the series’ enjoyably addictive rhythm-gameplay to the Nintendo Switch in one impressively meaty package. With over a hundred songs to play through, multiple difficulties to tackle, a whole new way to play the game, and an assortment of unlockable costumes to earn, there’s PLENTY to keep you singing with the vocaloid star for some time. Whether you’re a fan of Hatsune Miku or just enjoy the rhythm-based genre, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix is guaranteed to offer hours upon hours of glitzy singing fun.

Despite nitpicks with tracklist choice, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix is a great way to kick off the franchise on the Switch. The game runs smooth in handheld mode, which has always been my preferred way to play, and looks fantastic. There are plenty of Modules to unlock and lots of tracks to master on the various difficulties. If you’re a fan of the franchise and have been looking for a solid handheld offering, jump on this right away. If this is your first foray into the Project Diva franchise I can think of no better place to start than here. Just don’t blame me when you when you seek out Vocaloid music for the next 100 years!
For the first time Miku makes the leap to Switch, and adds a new way to play, in addition to having the usual one with countless known songs from the Vocaloids.

Mega Mix makes a dynamic splash onto the Nintendo Switch by providing colorful rhythm gaming. With plenty of returning content and a handful of new surprises like Mix Mode, the game is a familiar and competent package for newcomers and veterans.
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix offers traditional rhythm gameplay alongside a highly enjoyable motion based Mix Mode in a package featuring some of the best Vocaloid songs available finally making their debut on the Switch.
It’s a great rhythm title with a shocking amount of content, both in terms of cosmetics and songs of all genres. I also did not expect for it to be that challenging. Sure, a bit of its difficulty stemmed from the sheer amount of visual noise onscreen, but its gameplay did not pull any punches.
For long-time fans of Miku, those who just want to dive into their favorite songs and challenge themselves, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+ is a dream. The pure variety of songs available and the series’ trademark gameplay will keep them busy for a long time, and that’s not even accounting for the options that the series being available on PC will provide to the community. While new players may find the lack of gameplay modes a bit off-putting, smart choices like challenge time should help them ease their way into the series’ style if they stick with it.
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+ is a full-on, frenetic rhythm experience. The game explores established mechanics in an immense variety of music and difficulties. The content impresses with the vast amount of music of different styles, and the colorful and whimsical atmosphere offers an immersive experience. The PC adaptation is basic and competent, but it's hard not to be bothered by the absence of some options and significant new content, especially for series veterans. In the end, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+ is an excellent rhythmic title.

What should’ve been the perfect entry for both Hatsune Miku fans and newcomers alike turns into a misstep in the Project DIVA Series. Mega Mix+ sure is a great game with an amazing amount of content, but the PC issues like stuttering and odd frame drops takes out the fun on completing most songs above “hard”.

Hatsune Miku may have been around for a good chunk of time yet Project DIVA Mega Mix doesn't really push any boundaries. It's still a very fun rhythm game so whether you're a fan of the genre or the Vocaloid herself, it's definitely worth checking out.
