When the Hatsune Miku voice software debuted back in 2007, few could have guessed the tremendous impact it would have. The concept of a virtual singer–one whose songs were almost entirely user-generated–was a bizarre and intriguing novelty. 15 years later, Miku and her friends have endured, solidifying their reputations as pioneers across music, the internet, and gaming cultures. Sega’s Hatsune Miku: Project Diva serves as a powerful testament to the aquamarine-haired songstress’ lasting legacy, and Project Diva Megamix+ is a phenomenal reminder of Miku’s musical significance.
Like previous games in the series, Project Diva Megamix+ is a rhythm game built around the popular Japanese “virtual singer” characters of Hatsune Miku, the Kagamine Rin and Len duo, Megurine Luka, Meiko, and Kaito. Each game in the series offers a selection of songs sourced from independent creators who’ve made songs using these characters. Most of these tracks also feature an elaborately choreographed, real-time music video that plays in the background, which can be customized with costumes and accessories for the characters you earn with in-game currency.
Megamix+ is an enhanced port of 2020’s Hatsune Miku Project Diva Megamix for Switch, which itself was a “best-of” compilation based on the arcade and PS4 game Hatsune Miku Project Diva Future Tone. That might sound a little confusing if you’re not familiar with the series chronology, but the important thing is that it means that Megamix+ has no shortage of music. From the moment you boot the game, over 100 tracks–including many that were DLC-only on the Switch version–are ready to play. There’s also optional paid DLC to add most of the songs from PS4/arcade Future Tone that didn’t make it into the Switch game, and with up to five uniquely charted difficulty levels available for each song, you get a huge amount of bang for your buck, regardless of if you spring for the DLC.
