Virtual idol Hatsune Miku is set to make her first appearance on Nintendo Switch in Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Mega39’s.
The game is a rhythm title which features songs made using the Hatsune Miku Vocaloid software; there are 101 songs in total, with 100 coming from past games and the extra one being a new theme written for this title. It'll feature more than 300 costumes, 3D anime-inspired models, and new game modes that have been created specifically for the Switch. More details will be shared in the future.
According to Gematsu, 'Decorator' by Kz, 'Odds & Ends' by Ryo, and 'Rolling Girl' by Wowaka have all been confirmed as playable songs, with 'Alien Alien' by Nayutan Seijin, and '39 Music!' by Mikito-P also joining the fun as two of ten newly recorded songs that will appear for the very first time. We have some screenshots for you below.
The game is slated for release in early 2020 in Japan; there's no news just yet of any intention to bring the game to the west.

THE GODDESS IS BACK!
When can we see this game come to the west? I want it!
Didn't a Japanese guy marry her?
This is cool. Really enjoyed Project Diva on the Vita.
It's nice to get a real Miku game on a Nintendo console now (wasn't a huge fan of that chibi thing on 3DS).
I hope this comes to the west...one of my favorite guilty pleasures.
Finally my waifu is on switch
Better come to the west,I loved Project Mirai DX on 3DS.
@Judgedean How is that even pos-
I don't wanna know.
Hoping for a western release.
Woo!
@Ralizah love your junko avatar btw
Yes! Was just thinking today how I’d love Hatsune Miku on the Switch. Please release in the West!
Please let this come to the west. I still enjoy playing hatsune miku saily on my 3ds. So if this comes to switch in the west it be a day one buy
They're surprisingly deep rhythm games despite the whole Miku thing not really being my scene. I'd buy it if it came West.
Btw, Hatsune Mikku songs also appeared on Dance Dance Revolution A and A20 as licensed songs. 🙂
Nice, love this series
Yes please!
Didn't play that much of the PS4 exclusive Miku Games because i mostly prefer Rhythm Games on Handhelds. Instant buy.
Hope they go to alternate gameplay routes like they did for 3ds version. I never enjoy the classic gameplay even that I try it, however the touch screen mode on 3ds to me much better, less complex and more enjoyable.
Another alternative would be a motion controls mode. Been dreaming about a Project Diva with motion controls for years.
Day one of this is the chance
@Kalmaro Found the vid https://youtu.be/_DqQvq94MI0
Very good, I am interested on the serie of games, really curious about it. If it comes to west ( or if it's English subbed) I could give it a try.
Awesome. I check 3DS eShop sales every week just in case Project Mirai DX is on sale but it never is. I think it was once and my sister bought it back then but I thought it would go on sale again soon enough. I guess I thought wrong. I hope they discount it before the release of the new game.
Awesome news.
Need Miku on handheld again.
It's great news but only 10 of the songs are new, the rest have been in at least one game before (Future Tone/DX) - and these new songs are getting added to the PS4 version.
...so why not bring Future Tone to the Switch instead?
@Kimyonaakuma They aren't free on PS4, but will be added as paid DLC. Looking at the previous DLC prices on PS4, it will probably cost at least 15 dollars.
@DrkBndr I just read the website again and it says the PS4 version will get them "for a fee" .....I read that as "for free" 😂😂
YES!
(jumps in the air)
Finaly a new Miku game on a handheld!
Never tried these games before, now may be the chance
There is our msuic queen coming to the switch! All jump on the hype party!
Loved Project Mirai on 3DS as well as all Project Divas on Vita so this is a must buy for me
Will it say "Do--mi--no Piiiiiii--zzaaa" on the start-up screen? No?
Next, please.
@Arnold-Kage : I'm still irate with Sega for never issuing a reprint of the 3DS game. I recall it being released in September 2015, but I was overseas at the time, and when I returned a month later...
Nothing. None whatsoever. I was never able to find a copy... and this was a mere month after release!
No adult Rin, no buy.
who am i kidding obvious day 1 buy if it comes west
just, i would day 1 buy it sooner somehow, even with that dreadful skeleton orchestra song in it
The game is called “Mega Mix” not “Mega 39’s”. This is from 3 = mi, 9 = ku and s = su or together 39’s = mikusu = mix.
Will NintendoLife ever get someone who can speak Japanese so they don’t post one embarrassment after next?
I buy these even though I am possibly the worst player in the world at them. This one will be no exception. In.
I’ve been anxiously waiting for this moment from September 2015 to July 2019, now I can rest easy that it finally happened.
This made my day! Also kind of wonder what FPS it will target.
The 3DS game was nice
Never played any of the games or really listened to much of the music. But Miku has an absolute treasure trove of fan art of astounding quality and variety! I've seen her and her friends as cute, sexy, cool, epic, crossovers, and everything else. They've been basically everything, from knights to Jedi to demons to Super Sayians etc etc.
That's my experience with the character. lol
@SwiftLemoon that Mythra icon is dangerously cute! Is there a full size version?
There were 2 great Miku music games on ios back in the day. But they were never updated to 64bit so stopped being compatible after whatever ios dropped 32bit support
The gameplay was, using the 12-key kana keyboard with flick, you would hit different letters of the lyrics in time. And the harder difficulties you would have to input more and more of the lyrics with the music.
Damn they were good games! I wish they would get updated.
I'm so excited!!! Love the song choices so far!
@Heavyarms55 Yeah it is! You can find it on the website Pixiv and search for the artist KEnヤン
Finally, I was expecting ports of the PS3 and Vita versions much sooner though and disappointed those never happened.
Day one!
Now get ever rumored Steam version of the arcade games out too.
I put about 130+ hours into Project Mirai DX
I NEED THIS. Not buying a Japanese copy though because I did that when we thought Future Tone wouldn't come to PS4 and now I have 2 copies of Future Tone (though 2 is better than one anyways lol). Glad I've got a Pro Controller, else my JoyCons would be awaiting their death.
@Judgedean I do know someone in Japan who married a one of the lead female characters in Love Plus.
Project Mirai on 3DS was surprisingly great, so I've been hoping for news like this. My kids also adore the game and the diva. Day One buy for me.
Finally! I've been burned out by Future Tone on PS4.
Wow, that's a lot of songs! First I thought it was a collection when they were going through all those titles in the beginning O_O
I hope hope hope it's not grindy to unlock items. I enjoy the games, but more for seeing the different songs and switching out characters and costumes. Repeatedly playing the songs over I'm less a fan of
Yay!, Yaay!, Yaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!!!
Finally!!!
I've been looking forward to this game, and it came true, Yyyyaaayyyyy!!!!
Now, just wait and get it soon !!
@Judgedean I said I didn't want to know! Haha
This is just bizarre to the extreme to me but it's his life and he's not hurting anyone. Not a real marriage imo.
@Silly_G
Yeah that was kind of surprising to me as well. Still hope they got their affairs better in order this time around
It be super awesome if the game lets you switch the characters from regular form to chibi forms as a tribute to the Project Mirai games since is going to be on a Nintendo system again, that would be fantastic i love the chibis dancing and singing! A Chibi mode that we can turn on and off at any time during song selection and during dressing up the characters.
Never listened to Hatsune Miku in my life. What's it like?
I would buy it day one if they bring it to the states.
I hope this comes to the west, to Europe. When that happens, it will be an insta buy for me.
PLEASE put it on Switches in the west. Miku is far more than us mortals.
