Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Mega Mix review

System: Switch
Release date: May 14, 2020
Developer: SEGA
Publisher: SEGA


The world’s favorite vocaloid superstar finally makes her long-awaited Switch debut with Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Mega Mix, bringing along a from-the-ground-up experience where you can attend and play through your own personal concerts at home and on the go. Other Crypton mascots Meiko, Kagamine Rin/Ren, Kaito and Megurine Luka are also included with over 100 songs and a myriad of outfits for you to choose from and customize. Long time fans of the series will recognize favorites like LOL -lots of laugh- and The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku as they go through a catered track list throughout her discography tapping into just about every genre imaginable, from rock ballads to pop, dance, jazz, and more. Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Mega Mix is a celebration of vocaloid culture and music, with tons of beautiful music videos accompanying the songs as button prompts fly from all sides of the screen, and the experience is only really hindered by long loading times and low resolution that degrades its otherwise stunning look.

Nintendo has announced that a new set of games are joining the Switch Online service.

Over on the SNES, we’ll be getting Wild Guns, Panel de Pon, and Operation Logic Bomb. NES is adding Rygar as its sole title. All releases will be live on May 20.

Here’s a rundown of each game, along with a video:

Nintendo has ported many of its Wii U games over to Switch, but there are still a few titles remaining. Pikmin 3 is one release that we could be getting sooner rather than later.

Venturebeat reports that, aside from Intelligent Systems which just unveiled Paper Mario: The Origami King today, “other Nintendo studios will have games ready for release soon”. The site specifically cites the rumored 3D Mario remasters plus something we haven’t heard of previously: Pikmin 3 Deluxe.

Paper Mario: The Origami King

Nintendo has just announced Paper Mario: The Origami King, a brand new game for Switch. It’ll launch both physically and digitally on July 17.

Paper Mario: The Origami King kicks off as “the dangerous King Olly unleashes his plan to fold the entire world.” Princess Peach’s Castle has also been bound “in giant, colored streamers and transported it to a distant mountain.” Bowser’s minions have transformed into Folded Soldiers and have been enlisted, too.

New to this title is a ring-based system in which you “line up scattered enemies and maximize damage.” It’ll be based around turn-based battles. Another addition is the 1000 Fold-Arms that “allows you to interact with the landscape by stretching out and pulling, peeling and revealing new locations, helping you to solve puzzles and uncover unexpected surprises.” Players will “enlist the help of characters old and new, such as King Olly’s good-natured sister, Olivia, along with a range of unlikely allies, including Bowser himself”.
