As the topic continued to grow, Chen Mo’s Weibo post caused another wave.

This was the promotional video of the new handheld device.

A pretty girl was playing Switch on the TV at home, and the game could be clearly seen from the TV.

She was sprawled out on the sofa, her left and right hands making various poses from time to time, and Mali in the picture was constantly performing the corresponding actions.

The scene changed to the airport. After taking a seat, the girl opened the stand behind the handheld device and started playing games on the plane.

In the car, at the party …

She switched through several scenes in a row, and the girl was not only playing super Mali, but also many very simple mini-games with body sensitivity.

Chen Mo also took some time to create a collection of mini-games, mainly from the 1 2 Switch, which included cowboy duels, milking, unarmed combat, table tennis, and so on.

These mini-games were all the best choices at the party because these games didn’t require one to stare at the screen. One only needed to look into the opponent’s eyes to perform the motion control.

In the promotional video, the girl and her best friend didn’t look at the screen at all. Instead, they held the controller and looked at each other, making all kinds of poses, which was also novel to many people.

After seeing Chen Mo’s videos in class and the handheld game’s promotional videos, the videogame media’s opinion changed.

“Maybe we all misunderstood Chen Mo’s intentions. The biggest advantage of Switch is that it combines many things that we’ve neglected into one device!”

“For example, we used to have motion-sensing games, but traditional motion-sensing games were too monotonous. Most players wouldn’t buy specialized equipment just to play one or two such monotonous motion-sensing games.

“Another example is that there are many casual action games on the market, but none of them are as good as super Mali Odyssey. Although some games have a two-player mode, a mode where one person controls the main character and the other person controls the hat has never appeared before!”

“The advantage of the Switch is that it combines all these elements that we ignore into one machine. Obviously, some of the current players like motion-sense games and casual games. With the emergence of the Switch, these people can achieve these goals with the lowest cost!”

“Chen Mo has thoughtfully prepared two options for them. If they’re still in a wait-and-see state and don’t have a lot of money, they can just buy two game controllers. These two game controllers have both sensory and vibration technology, and they can still enjoy the game after connecting it to a phone or computer.”

“If you’re interested in the game, you can buy a full set of handheld devices. It’s not that expensive. Apart from the price of the controller, the handheld device only costs 1500 Yuan. It’s a few levels ahead of cell phones at the same price range!”

……

At the same time, many of Thunderbolt gaming platform’s independent video game designers received the news as well. Chen Mo encouraged them to make their games with controllers.

It was actually quite easy to change, since the controller had a set of basic rules. Chen Mo only needed to hand the rules over to the designers and let them do as they pleased.

Casual games, light action games, and puzzle-solving games could all be upgraded to the mobile version without any pressure.
