SEGA Explains Why They Are Bringing Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix To Nintendo Switch

As you all know, SEGA is bringing Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix to Nintendo Switch in early 2020.

Now the company has revealed their motivations for bringing Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix to Nintendo Switch. The reason that stands out the most is Handheld Mode, which no other home console supports.

Check out the snippet as translated by NintendoSoup below:

Matsunami-san:

It’s been 2 years since the previous DIVA entry was released and we had the urge of continuing the series, so that’s how this (Switch) project started.

Osaki-san:

We also wanted to bring the Hatsune Miku Project mirai series to Nintendo hardware. It’s also especially because Handheld Mode (is supported on Switch) and that played a part in our decision. The DIVA series doesn’t really have a presence on handheld consoles.

4Gamer:

I see. So in other words, the biggest reason why this project all started is because the Nintendo Switch supports Handheld Mode and you wanted to see the DIVA series have a presence on handheld consoles?

Matsunami-san:

Yep, that’s right. Obviously you couldn’t play outside and switch over to the big screen on the PlayStation 4, so naturally, we wanted to bring the series to Switch. The DIVA series originated from handhelds as well, so naturally we wanted to bring the series to Nintendo Switch.
