General Project Diva Discussion

[Scarlet Illusion]

I hope there's an English localisation or something. I know the Switch is region free and Project DIVA isn't text-heavy, but it makes my life so much easier if I'm able to read the menus and song titles.

I think they're releasing it in the west... we just don't have a release date yet. orz
(Hopefully they'll release it soon, because my Japanese isn't good enough to read all the menus yet although I've been able to get by fine so far in the demo. XP)

I tried the joy con mode some more and it really doesn't work as expected at all.
Anybody have any hints on how to work it properly? And different way you have to hold the controllers?
It's not responding properly at all for me.

 

[Rolo]

Well I’m glad to hear the game sold well. A success was needed for this series after X, hopefully Sega has something exciting in the works for the next game. I’m just glad the series isn’t over. Will be supporting the next project for sure

@39dearMIKU: Bear in mind, I don't own the Switch or the game, but I tried to do a bit of research :) . This video shows someone playing with the Joy-Cons and how they're holding/moving them; maybe it will help?

Hey thanks. Didn't think of just checking back that commerical.
I guess you really are supposed to hold them that way! It was NOT indicated in the games own tutotial lol.

Makoto Osaki, the producer of the series, is really happy with the sales results of Project DIVA MEGA39s, in fact the packaged version is sold out in almost all stores in Japan, and the DL version is very popular in the Nintendo e-shop (●'◡'●)

Hatsune Miku Project Diva: MegaMix - SEGA apologizes for retail shortages in Japan

From the GoNintendo Archives

www.gonintendo.com

Mega39's is selling so well that Sega has issued an apology over the physical copies being sold out in many places. More copies are coming, but restocking takes a bit of time.

western release has been confirmed to be during Spring 2020 (●'◡'●)

53k is decent, but really not that crazy.

Seems like Sega severely underestimated the demand.

 

[39dearMIKU]

I am more happy than I expected with how this plays on the Switch, especially on the go, and am pleased with the quality of the new songs too.
I even really like the new game mode, BUT my joycons still don't respond quite correctly. One of them is kind of "flickering", far more sensitive than the other one. Is that a known thing for them? I callibrated them new but no change.

mm i've heard that usually the left joycon can have some issues, and in most cases, the only thing to do is to use your warranty and ask for a new one :)

I've heard they "drift" or something along those lines (though, I'm not sure if that refers to the control sticks or the controllers themselves). I have the same issue as you; my right joycon is extremely sensitive while the left one is just fine. :P
(From what I've seen, people say you can, and recommend, that people get them replaced/fixed by Nitendo when that happens or to just buy new joycons.)

I know about the "drift" issue but this is about the motion controls, not the analog. Can't imagine that having any "drift" or being related to that at all?

 

[Faiyez]

Mix mode is just a gimmick and the joycons have big design faults.

It's cool if you can have fun with it, but I wouldn't take it so seriously. As a game mode it seems straight up broken from the moment they first showed it.

Can you elaborate on that? Like I can understand if the joycons motion control is flawed, but what about the game mode itself is broken in your opinion? It seems straightforward and interesting to me.
And one joycon works just as I would expect to me, if I had another one that would too it would be perfect.

 

[Rolo]

So since the game was a success and I imagine the localized version will do just fine. Are we just waiting for the PS4 DLC now? I’m just wondering when we might hear about Sega’s next project.

 

[MagicalMiku]

the PS4 DLC has a delay of 2 months because more testing is needed with the extra songs and the new module (for every new song they have to check every single combination of hairstyle/accessories/modules, so is normal it can take lot of time), but i'm confident the release might happen around May/June, if not earlier :)
and about the new project, Makoto Osaki (producer of the Arcade team) said that they already have some ideas for the future, but they don't want to rush things and want the sequel to comes out naturally :)
(and before the sequel, they still can release new songs and new modules for MEGA39s and Future Tone PS4, for example Project DIVA X songs/modules, Project Mirai songs/modules, all Magical Mirai songs/modules, Snow Miku theme songs.. (❁´◡`❁)

the home DIVA team was busy developing the Sakura Wars game for PS4, it released a couple of months ago in Japan (and it will arrive in the west on April 28, you should all check it, is a very beautiful game and is easy to "see" that is has been made by the DIVA team, is has that magic charm ^^), and now they are developing a new secret game hehe who knows ^^

Thanks magicalmiku for keeping us posted! Sounds like this will be a good year for Diva.
