Project DIVA MEGA39’s New Features
Project DIVA MEGA 39’s will feature two modes of gameplay: “Arcade” and “Mix”. The Arcade game mode will feature the classic arcade-style game play where you press buttons to the rhythm of the song. In the “Mix” game mode players will wave their JoyCon’s left and right to the vertical scrolling prompts on screen. In this mode, you can feel like you are performing a glowstick routine at a concert.
