"You've already made a brand new handheld?"
The professors and students below the podium were shocked. It's only been two months and you've already made it?!
You've even brought out a prototype?!
That's way too efficient!
Everyone thought that Chen Mo would only bring out the prototype after the semester's classes were over, and that there would be a press conference for it.
After all, making a handheld wasn't something that could be done in one go. It was just like designing a mobile phone. The various configurations and layouts had to be constantly modified.
But Chen Mo made it so quickly. Was he going to use the lecture as a press conference?!
Everyone was in high spirits. It was an honor to be able to witness this brand new handheld handheld earlier than everyone else!
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at the box in front of Chen Mo.
Chen Mo calmly took out the Switch prototype from the box and held it in his hand for everyone to see.
"Everyone, take a look at the approximate size."
The students were all craning their necks to look at the podium.
"It's huge! It's bigger than I imagined. "
"To ensure portability, this is probably the biggest you can make it, right? Any bigger and you'd be able to use it as a brick. "
"It should be fun to play with this big screen, but it's not at the level of a tablet."
"Would it be inconvenient to use? I feel like it's too big when playing games on a tablet. My fingers aren't even long enough. "
Everyone was discussing. Chen Mo didn't immediately answer everyone's questions. Instead, he introduced the handheld's features.
"This handheld is called the Switch. It has a touch screen, but most of the time we don't use it. This is because we use these two devices when playing games."
Chen Mo took out the two controllers from the handheld and showed them to everyone.
The two controllers were very small. They were only slightly longer than an adult's middle finger and about two fingers wide.
"These two controllers have somatosensory technology and vibration technology on them. As for the use of these technologies … you'll find out soon. "
Chen Mo took out a black pedestal from the box and connected it to the projector on the podium via a cable.
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Now, it's time to witness a miracle."
He placed the Switch on the base. Two seconds later, the image of the handheld appeared on the projector.
The crowd exclaimed in surprise. The technique wasn't too difficult, and it wasn't anything to be surprised about. The main thing was that Chen Mo's movements were too flashy.
Chen Mo held the two controllers in his hands and explained how to use them.
"This is the correct way to hold it. Hold the two handles in your hands, and your index finger can hook the top two buttons, while your thumb is responsible for pushing the joystick and pressing the bottom button. Of course, there are some special uses for this controller. Let's take a look in-game. "
The Odyssey appeared on the big screen.
"Wow, so cute!" Some girls couldn't help but exclaim.
The scene on the screen was the Hat Kingdom. The residents of the Hat Country wore all kinds of hats. The architectural style of the place was also related to hats. Even the houses were shaped like hats.
It looked like a fairytale world, and all the girls present had stars in their eyes.
"In the game, Mario can do a lot of things, but the main thing is moving and using the hat."
"Mario can jump, roll, and run. Through various special operations, he can go to many special places to collect various elements. I'm sure everyone can tell that this game is suitable for all ages. "
As Chen Mo explained, he also demonstrated a few special movement techniques for everyone. For example, pressing the ZL with his left hand and moving the controller with his right. Mario would curl up into a ball and roll quickly on the ground.
Chen Mo did a few fancy moves, such as jumping on the hat, doing side flips, crouching jumps, and throwing the hat. Moving the two controllers up, down, and horizontally would trigger different actions.
The students were surprised to see Chen Mo's movements.
"This feels interesting. Is this a 3D game?"
"It's not really a 3D game, but it feels like it's a lot richer than other 3D games!"
"This method is quite novel, and the background design of the game is quite interesting. Is it a fairytale?"
"It feels a little like the earliest games, but it's a lot richer!"
"I'm more interested in these two controllers. Although this game is well made, the main thing is that it's really fun to control!"
There were 3D games in the parallel world, but they weren't mainstream.
Although VR games were very developed, the VR pod used brain waves to play the game, and the player's body wasn't moving at all.
However, 3D games allowed you to move your hands and feet. It was fun and less tiring to play, which was why it was popular among the players.
However, the biggest problem with 3D games was that there were only a few ways to play, such as boxing or tennis. The gameplay was very boring.
It might be fun to play against two people, but it would be boring after a few more games.
"Super Mario Odyssey" had a rich game content, and it slightly added some somatosensory mode, which made many people feel a little novel.
Chen Mo continued, "I'm sure everyone can feel the main advantages of this handheld console.
"First, it's portable. It has a large screen, but it can also be carried in a large pocket. This can be said to be a compromise between the size of a phone and a tablet. It's the most suitable size for the gaming experience.
"Second, it has controller controls and a special 3D mode. It's much more convenient than a phone. Moreover, you can play in any position, be it sitting, lying down, or standing.
"Moreover, you can play in two player mode. Are there any students who want to try it out?"
The students in the audience all raised their hands. They were all very curious as they had never seen this handheld before. Moreover, it seemed interesting to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo picked a boy and a girl in the front row, and changed the game mode to two player.
There was a big difference in the controls in two player mode. Moreover, one person controlled Mario, while the other controlled the Capuchin Kepi. After Chen Mo explained the controls of the game to the two of them, he stood to the side and watched them play.
The boy controlled Mario to wander around the map. The girl controlled the Capuchin Kepi to look for targets that could be controlled, including wooden dummies, gold coins, chests, etc.
"Quick, go over there, there seems to be something good!"
"Eh, wait, I want to see what's glowing here?"
"Hmm, I think the controller is vibrating. The notification says that if I squat down, I'll get something good."
"I'll squat down … eh? It's a heart. "
"Come, let's go over there."
"Uhh, I want to go over there …"
"Let's go over there first!"
As the two played, the smell of gunpowder started to show. The boy controlling Mario wanted to explore the area, but the girl controlling the Capuchin Kepi wanted to see what the glowing thing was.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were in class, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two of them would have had a small conflict …
