Video by Matt S. I love Hatsune Miku. After discovering her courtesy of her PlayStation Vita games, I have since gone all out – I’ve gone to her concerts in Japan. I have shelves after shelves filled with Miku figures. Dozens of CDs, books, tapestries, the works. And now there’s…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Hatsune Miku: Project Diva MegaMix just released on the Nintendo Switch overnight (and yes, I did download it, and yes, I do have a review coming). We’ve already got even more to look forward to, though, with SEGA announcing a season pass and DLC schedule that…
