Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

At this moment, someone finally voiced their doubts.

The screen seems a bit too big.

Smartphones in this era are still in the early stages of development, with screens as small as five inches. They don't yet have the super-large screens that we'll see in later generations.

Full-screen phones may not be announced and developed for several more years.

In comparison, this handheld console does indeed look a bit too big.

Many people share this same question.

When would you bring this kind of game console with you?

They couldn't imagine that they might need to carry a backpack with them.

What kind of portable handheld console would that be? Having to carry a backpack around just for a handheld console makes it seem rather impractical.

Handheld game enthusiasts who saw the appearance and size of the console were somewhat silent and confused.

They will probably still buy this handheld console.

But it didn't actually feel like the game console I had imagined.

However, they would soon show expressions of surprise.

In the subsequent promotional video, the handheld console appears to have a transformation function, opening a mechanism resembling a stand from the back of the device.

The video shows that with such a stand, people can play games on a table anytime, anywhere.

and many more?

Put it on the table?

But the controller on the handheld console...

Before these people could finish thinking about these questions, they watched as the controller on the handheld console, which was placed flat on a stand, separated from the console.

Those were two small, separate handles, one red and one blue.

The players who witnessed this scene were all speechless.

What form is this...?

A miniature version of a home video game console?

A home video game console that you can play anytime, anywhere?

This seems to be getting interesting.

But it still feels a bit strange.

For a handheld game console, this one has a rather large screen and is rather bulky overall.

However, from the perspective of a home game console, this seems a bit stingy.

The screen is only so big. If normal people are playing games together, who would look at such a small screen, unless it can be replaced with a larger screen...

This time, before these people could finish thinking, a new form appeared in the video of the game console.

This time, a dock appeared not far from the handheld console, and the game console itself, which only had a screen, flew directly above the dock. Then, a huge screen appeared in the video.

This appears to be a method for transmitting video signals.

In other words, this handheld console offers an experience similar to that of a home console through this dock.

That's really...surprising.

The fact that the game console could appear in several different forms at once surprised everyone.

Even people like Hayakawa Ueto and Myron Case were confused.

What kind of thought process did the person who designed this game console at Yuxing Electronic Entertainment have?

Just when they think that's all the game console can do, the game console's videos will show you an even more unexpected feature.

There are three forms: handheld, mobile home console, and full home console experience.

"This Takeyusei is planning to completely dominate both handheld and home console gamers with this one console," Hayakawa Ueto muttered to himself.

But will this work?

Hayakawa Ueto is a bit hard to explain.

His subconscious intuition made him feel that this type of game console was somewhat unconventional.

This is probably equivalent to being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none, which doesn't seem like a good thing.

Myron Case, Kazuo Murakami, and many other media and corporate figures share similar thoughts.

Myron Case, in particular, was somewhat amused by this entirely new form of game console.

Is this somewhat outlandish game console really developed by Yuxing Electronics Entertainment?

It seems I really don't need to worry too much.

This game console is destined to fail.

He wasn't afraid if he focused on handheld consoles, because he was convinced that handheld consoles would eventually be phased out.

It seems that Bamboo Star has run out of good ideas and creativity, resulting in this strange, Frankenstein-like game console.

He could tell with a simple thought that this type of game console could never achieve the performance of a real home console.

Isn't this just a useless thing?

?

Chapter 826 Strange Game Machine

826

"This is our latest game console, and it's called the Switch. It's a completely new experience for us, and we hope you'll like it."

……

"Is this... a game console? It feels weird."

"Yes, it looks a bit like something out of place."

"Don't say that. This is a game console created by Yusei Electronics Entertainment. Even if it's a little strange, it's not a big problem, because there will definitely be amazing games announced."

"That's right, no matter what the game console looks like, the game itself is the most important thing."

At this moment, Airi Hayazawa had no idea how the players watching the live stream were reacting.

The video of the live stream was recorded a few days ago, but she was too nervous to watch it.

I never expected to be so nervous, even though everything was fine during the previous shoots.

Because she didn't act immediately, she didn't see those dissenting voices.

Players and people in many industries are somewhat baffled.

Yusei Electronics Entertainment actually developed a handheld console.

Some people in the industry initially thought this was a mistaken leak from some insiders.

However, this is actually a false leak, because it can also function as a home console.

If this game console can also function as a home console, does that mean that Yuxing Electronics Entertainment will not be developing its latest home console, the GSX?

So, is it still necessary for them to continue developing high-definition games?

This game console is truly unconventional. Many past game consoles had a rather conventional appearance, but this one looks like this, and the screen is huge, completely lacking any unique portability.

Nobody wants to carry such a big thing in their pocket; it's practically like a brick.

What kind of strange thing is this from Youxing Electronic Entertainment?

In the video, Airi Hayazawa smiles as she introduces the latest game console, showcasing the Switch's detachable controller design, motion-sensing features, and several new gameplay functions.

This new detachable controller is smaller than the detachable controllers used in previous home consoles, and it doesn't feel awkward to hold directly in your hand.

She personally demonstrated a video game called 12switch in front of the camera, showcasing the full functionality of the new handheld console, which has seen a significant evolution in motion control.

This is not only to showcase the gameplay to players, but also to demonstrate the features of this game console to game developers, allowing them to more easily use these features in future game development.

"Huh? This 12-switch looks pretty good."

"Look, it seems like this game will be included with the console for free. I might as well buy it and give it a try."

"But...it still feels a bit strange."

After giving a general introduction to the features and basic gameplay, Airi Hayazawa said, "I know that what everyone is most looking forward to is the game itself, so I won't go on and on about the features and basic gameplay here."

"Here it comes, the main course is here!"

Game consoles are strange, but with good games, everything else is secondary; that's what players care about most, so they've refocused their attention.

Hayakawa Ueto also perked up a bit.

He was actually a little speechless about the appearance of the new game console.

This is indeed a completely new look that I've never seen before, and I don't know if this new look will be widely accepted by players.

"President, the feedback in the comments section and related forums is now questioning the appearance of this game console. It looks like Yusei Electronics Entertainment may be in for a major setback this time."

Hayakawa Ueto's subordinates spoke with a hint of schadenfreude.

Hayakawa Ueto shook his head: "It's too early to say. The game console isn't doing particularly well right now."

Having competed with Yusei Electronics for so many years, Hayakawa Ueto no longer believed that Yusei Electronics could stumble so easily.

For more than a decade, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has hardly encountered any problems in this regard. They have been sailing smoothly all the way, and failure seems to be a thing of the past for them.

His subordinates are newly promoted, so they don't yet know about the time when they competed with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

The feedback from the forum and live stream comments was immediately given to Zhu Youxing for review, but Zhu Youxing's reaction was rather indifferent.

Think game consoles are weird? That's because you're right.

It would be a shame not to blame it, given the appearance of this game console.

Back in the day, the Switch was also met with a lot of controversy in the original world.

But what was the final outcome? The Switch, with its weak capabilities, directly dominated the home video game console market.
