Not only would Miku be returning to a portable format for the first time since 2016's Project DIVA X, but this also marked the first appearance of Project DIVA on a non-Sony format at home. Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone seemed like a pretty damn high note to end things on for the time being- an enhanced port of the arcade game with the biggest setlist in the entire series and razor-sharp mechanics that made it the best of the lot- and indeed that's how things had been until July 2019, when Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega39's- Mega Mix for Western markets- was announced for the Nintendo Switch, with a release following in 2020. Well, it's been a little while, hasn't it? Last time, I really wasn't sure when the gears of rhythm would turn again. (If nothing else, please read the article on Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone as Mega Mix is mostly based on that one!) (Hey, stop! If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend reading Gaming Hell's collection of Project DIVA game reviews before proceeding!) This is the somehow-still-ongoing story of how I became the worst Vocaloid fan in the world. The other thing is that we played on a mixture of docked and undocked modes, but primarily undocked because, well, that's the biggest draw of this version, as we shall soon see.

Finally, because this is a sort-of port of Future Tone which came to us from the arcades, it is pure and untainted, which means we don't have to say we won't be mentioning the DIVA Rooms or Edit Mode this time! Except for just now, when we did. Second, we've done our best to avoid having to parse Vocaloid names in full, using only their first names simply because it gives us a headache. Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix - A pink rabbit asked, 'ArE yOu LoST, LitTle GiRL?'Īs ever, it's time to fling out the standard three notes on this one, so standard that some of this text is actually recycled from the Editor's Note for F 2nd (it's economically friendly)- first, we took our own screenshots, so click them to embiggen them.
