    I bought this as I enjoy rhythm games, not necessarily as a HM fan, and as such, I was pretty disappointed with the game. Game play is, well, it's _fine_, but the sound that is thrown in as the rhythm beat sound is just a tambourine clash, which doesn't add much to the song, and sounds very out of place, detracting from the song.

The number of songs that have a plethora of text over the screen makes seeing the prompts harder, and visually it is just kind of an all around mess.

    I played a HM game way back on my PSP, and enjoyed it, but playing this one on the switch kind of feels like it is cashing in only on the Hatsune Miku brand and nothing else. Very disappointing game, exacerbated by Nintendos lack luster return policy.    … Expand

    So this game would be higher if the models didn’t conflict with the music videos... they kinda stand out and are too shiny. Not only that but there is not as much music as one could hope for compared to the PS4 game Future Tone.

    Very good game, really enjoyed the rhythm based gameplay and fun music– until I got to Jitterbug, that is. Very infuriating song. Way too fast, and with bizarre time signatures. Hatsune Miku's Big Gay Adventure was overall very fun, but hot damn, Jitterbug is way too hard! And so was I after seeing the Leprechaun. Hatsune Miku's Big Gay Adventure gets a 10/10

    Rhythm games are enjoyed through their music, so it is important to stress that if you don't enjoy vocaloid music, it would be best to steer clear of this game.

I absolutely adore the project diva series, but we really do need more newer songs to be added in the next game (if it ever comes out).

    The song list has some classics that any Vocaloid fan sure would know of, and some newer songs to fill in those gaps for some fresh air. There are songs that you've probably never heard of too, but most of these are absolute bangers and actual good songs (some are eh but that's the minority for the most part).

    Otherwise, you can play project diva on handheld again! Mix mode is.. a fresh idea but doesn't really hit with me as much. You can also play it with arcade style touch screen buttons, which are actually quite a fun way to play the game like how it is supposed to be in the project diva arcades (though I think it's quite hard to play the harder songs with this).

    Graphics are fine, it could look a bit blurry at times on handheld, but it's not like I pay full attention to the mv's when I'm playing; but also those graphics become much much more better in docked mode. The models do have a different look/shading to them now, which can look better/acceptable/not-so-good in some mv's (kind of depends on a song-to-song basis). Plus, to get some of the newer songs, you're going to have to buy the dlc's, which is kind of a shame with it already being 39$ (sometimes it goes on sale with one of the dlc packs though 'w').

    Overall, it's a project diva game that would be very fun for those of you who haven't played the project diva games and love Vocaloid or rhythm games.. but- it's decent enough for the people coming back from the previous games.    … Expand

    Can't go wrong with Project Diva if you are in any way a fan of rhythm based games. Project Diva gmes are the queen of the crop!

    DLCs are quite expensive, but you can buy all costumes at the very beginning.

    Verdict: It's Project Diva...

    Rating:
    Gameplay: 4/5 - Smooth and challenging as always. The new Joy Con mode is nothing special.
    Level Design: 4/5 - Absolutely great levels, but they're the same as last time.
    Soundtrack: 4/5 - It's vocaloid songs. Of course, it's good. But there's not much new.
    Story: Excluded since rhythm game...
    Graphics: 3/5 - Worse than the Arcade and Playstation versions but still pleasing.
    Length: 5/5 - There are so many songs in here that you'll play this for months.
    Replay Value: 4/5 - Everything a rhythm game needs. But there are no new incentives to play songs again.
    Enjoyment: 4/5 - Great. But nothing new if you played Project Diva before.

    A great game, Nintendo really needs more Miku games for its console, not all users have Ps4 to enjoy them right there and this type of attention to the console is great, having more than 100 songs along with its DLC makes it the best game music beat on Switch, I love this game.

    Almost a Future Tone port with different tone shades that gives it a more anime feel. It does have new songs and new game modes with the joy cons and even touch screen mode. All in all its Hatsune Miku so I'll buy it anyways.

    Project Diva Megamix is, at its core, a port of the FutureTone game with a little less content. However, the ability to take such a fun and addictive rhythm arcade game on the go makes up for it.

However, the ability to take such a fun and addictive rhythm arcade game on the go makes up for it. Megamix, if purchased with all available DLC, delivers around 141 songs to jam with anytime, anywhere on your Nintendo Switch. There are a lot of the more popular songs from FutureTone here, with a somewhat sad small selection of brand new tracks - but enough to feel fresh enough.

    Gameplay wise, the regular arcade mode is just as solid as before and operates fine. The new "mix mode," which utilizes motion controls, is rather on the jank side unfortunately. I can't tell if it is the game or the Switch that can't barely detect the right joy-con's position - when I tried playing it was almost impossible because it seems like it never reads the position of the right joy-con. But that's fine, as I will keep sticking to the arcade mode.

    Performance wise: Megamix runs at least at 30FPS, which is fine as the notes overlay (the part that matters) doesn't ever seem to dip or fall out of place with the song. In docked, the game can obviously handle running a little extra details, but it runs perfectly functional in handheld mode as well - but that's for the gameplay portions. The videos on the other hand, are a different story. You can tell which videos were made for this new hardware and which ones were ported. Videos for the new songs are clean, sharp and colorful with fluid animation. VIdeos for the old and returning songs, while some aren't noticeable, a LOT of them look muddled down, and I've even had a couple drop frames in its performance (did not affect gameplay). The look of these videos are probably the biggest problem this game could have.

    My last issue with megamix is the initial offering of songs for those who bought the base version. There are 5 or 6 dlc packs upon release, which you can get all of with the deluxe version for $60, but sadly these DLC packs are all just songs already in FutureTone (some DLC for that game, the rest its base pack songs). It's a little disappointing as I'd much rather have seen a push of DLC for new songs in the Vocaloid industry. In fact, Megamix is more of a port, as previously mentioned, because besides a new T-shirt editor and gameplay mode, it doesn't do too much to change things up. It brings the extremely fun PS4/Arcade game to your Switch for portable fun - which is a major selling port here - while bringing some newer vocaloid favorites into the mix. But it still relies on the same old library of tried and trued Vocaloid songs, and an abundance of those songs were DLC purchases to boot. Groove Coaster's vocaloid mix is so much more dynamic and fulfilling at this point. Regardless, Megamix is still a great buy for die-hard Vocaloid fans. All of the classics plus some hot new hits are all here to play whenever you want to test your rhythm and jam. Only slightly held back in its content offerings and some videos not looking so hot, Megamix is an overall good rhythm game that you should add to your Switch library.    … Expand

    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.

    Compared to other versions, Mega Mix is lacking in content, however, the portability makes it an attractive proposition even to those that have access to the other versions. When compared to other rhythm games on the Switch, Mega Mix has an enormous setlist and an amazing gameplay, making this one of the best rhythm games on the console.
