Very Suspicious Man Spotted At Nintendo's Switch Presentation

At the recent Nintendo Switch event in Tokyo, there was some guy walking around and taking photos of various things.

[CocoaBrother]

Yoshida is a fan of Nintendo so I'm not surprised.

[gangsta_red]

He's a spy!

But seriously, I'm hoping the Switch festival comes to the Bay Area.

[Summons75]

He has a spy trench coat and taking pictures, Ps5 a portable/console hybrid confirmed!.

But really, it's cool to see big names go to competitions events not only showing support but Yoshida is just a fan of video games. We need that in charge of the industry.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Funny.

Sony made a docking device for the PSP years ago to out to the TV.

@,Summon- give me the next PSP? Like I stated above Sony actually already made a docking device for the PSP that does the exact same thing....

Soooooo yea.

So what you're saying is the next PSP will just include the Cradle as opposed to make it separate? Ummmm sure

I don't really think they need to look at Nintendo to implement something that they've already done before them.......

[Monster_Tard]

@EDMIX
Oh lighten up, like anyone legitimately thinks that the head of Playstation is going around taking pictures at a Nintendo event that is open to the public in order to steal information from them.

[Dee_91]

idk who he is, but he looks fishy.. i don't trust him.

[gangsta_red]

Edmix seems to be that guy at the party who is running around making sure no one spills their drink on the carpet.

[XXanderXX]

So what's the excuse for the camera.

[DashArrivals]

Excuse? Man STFU. He's a fan. He takes pictures of things he likes. All console launches are historic and he works in the industry.

[andrewsquall]

Are you actually asking what somebody in the world is doing with a phone in their hand??? Don't go outside ever again, please.

[Why o why]

Wow. . Reach much. . . . Typical . . .

[Liqu1d]

People often carry cameras so they can take pictures of things. Then these pictures can be shared with friends and family or saved as reminders of past events. You would know this if you had a life. Do you question why people have cameras at other gaming events?

[fr0sty]

He's Japanese...

[XXanderXX]

Its on thing to be a fan and take pics buts its whole different ballgame when you run or are associated with a rivial company. As for the STFU part of you're comment u first mate .

@Squall not just somebody but an executive of a trivial platform .
Been outside its full of a holes ,so yeah am better off inside .

@Liquid average everyday people no but people who are executive of rival platform companies yes .

[StormSnooper]

paranoid lol

[Goldby]

ohh XXanderXX when will you learn.

Shu is a huge Nintendo fan. when he's at a nintendo event, hes a fan just like you or i.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Shu is a gamer through and through. He's probably just there for his own enjoyment.

[scofios]

He just catching pokemon .

[Tapani]

Haha someone asked in Chinese in a tweet if Yoshida would play Swith with them :)

[oof46]

Reminds me of when Yuji Naka would be seen at Nintendo events and Miyamoto would be spotted at Sega's.

[YAO-BLING]

the japanese love representing each other brands unlike us here in the west.. always fighting over the smallest stuff.

[Segata]

@EDMIX

And SEGA did it before Sony with SEGA Nomad. SEGA also release an adapter for GG to play SMS games.

[_-EDMIX-_]

They did.....I know lol

[XanderZane]

Nintendo is probably a fan of Yoshida as well, but not Sony as a whole. I'm sure they would love to have him under their umbrella.

[Neonridr]

incoming Sony tech that will be praised as being original and unique :P /s

Yoshida loves Nintendo stuff, I am sure he will have a Switch too.

[Erik7357]

I honestly wouldnt be surprised if the Ps5 tried to go the route Switch is taking.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Why would PlayStation 5 go that route? Wouldn't they just make the PSP go that route since they are the ones that he even made the PSP cradle in the first place?

Sorry bud but it's Nintendo that needs to make their handheld play on the television. The PSP has had this ability for a very long time..

[MRMagoo123]

I think Sony would rather make a console that people actually want

[Bigpappy]

Will they did do the move to copy the wii. But the wii was already a huge success by then.

[DJ]

Sony would do it right. The PSP 2 anyone?

[Silly gameAr]

Why would that happen? If it does, (which it won't) I won't be getting the PS5.

[andrewsquall]

What, suicide? Its a shame the Switch didn't go the route of PlayStation in 2013.

[DashArrivals]

WHAT !! ???

Are you really that out of touch? That is a terrible route. PS4 needs to just keep doing what it's doing. They're dominating. People just want a normal console. Not hybrid crap that jacks up the price.

[NarooN]

Erik73

Do you ever say anything that isn't braindead stupid?

[Rimeskeem]

Yoshida is a gamer at heart.

[King Nezz]

Yeah Sony will copy Nintendo's idea and say they've been working on it for over 10 years.

[Last_Boss]

I'm being silly!!

[WeAreLegion]

Or Nintendo will copy Sony's idea and everyone will give Nintendo credit for it.

[_-EDMIX-_]

https://www.amazon.com/PSP-...

Nintendo is the one that's technically copying Sony....

Soooooo yea

[_-EDMIX-_]

You mean the PSP cradle?

[italkgame]

It's a shame when people don't know their history, or the history of the companies they talk about. Decades ago Nintendo already had a peripheral that allowed gameboy games to be played on the television.

[Ravenor]

You posted a link of an intec cradle not a Sony cradle.

[Segata]

Sony is copying SEGA dude. SEGA Nomad came out 9 years before PSP.

[_-EDMIX-_]

@seg- except the Nomad is not a cord that simply plugs your handheld into the television.......

The concept is similar but I don't really think you understand what you're talking about. If anything I would say the PlayStation TV or the Gameboy player is similar to what the nomad was.

[Segata]

Actually yes you could plug a Nomad into the TV with a cable and even have 2 players on the TV. Nomas was literally a portable console.

[ps360s]

His a gamer so he loves anything to do with gaming and Nintendo is probably one of his childhood gaming memories just like me and all other gamers :)

That is why Sony does so well in the gaming business

[C-H-E-F]

The switch is doing everything the PSP, PSVita, PS3 and PS4 was capable of LMAO the only thing they did was put it all in one console there is 0 innovation here sit down fanboy.

i.e
PSP = docking station
PSVita = remote play
PS3 = ability to connect with the PSP/PSVita
PS4 = PSVita remote play for every game ability to play cross platform games and games literally anywhere you have wifi connection. I play my PS4 often times at work from my Macbook Pro actually.

No innovation here just gathering all of the things Sony has accomplished and put it in one device... with the same old rubbish IPs.

[Neonridr]

Vita does remote play via wifi only. You can't just take your Vita and play your PS4 anywhere. Good luck playing on public transit or on an airplane. In theory it has its similarities, but its execution is far from different.

The Vita you have to turn it on, run a stupid app to connect to the PS4, wait for it to establish the connection and then you can start playing. On the Switch I go over to the device and lift it up. Boom I am playing on the go. Not the same at all.

[Segata]

SEGA Nomad 1995. PSP 2004.

[fr0sty]

Hate to break it to you, but Sony has been doing the portable to TV console thing (PSP TV dock) as well as the console to portable thing for many years now. All Nintendo did was beef up the controller used and apply it to that concept.

[Neonridr]

Remote Play isn't the same since you can't technically take the Vita anywhere and use the games on your PS4. It replicates the functionality at times, but you can't exactly take your Vita wherever you want and play.

PSP Dock is the same idea as the Switch though.

[Segata]

Sega Nomad 1995.

[BIGBOSS08]

Soo ps5 will release with 4 launch games and 6 year old 3rd party titles? Man that would be a bigger screw up than 599 us dollars! Seems Nintendo fans have amnesia.. The way they been acting, you would think the wii u sold 200m consoles and everyone needs to copy Nintendos success.. lol gimme a break.

[SaveFerris]

He is probably going to buy the console for his children, and another for himself.

[UCForce]

Well, he has two daughters.

[never4get]

Ps5 a portable/console hybrid confirmed!.

[MRMagoo123]

that'll be the day Playstation dies , no way will they go the same route as Nintendo switch

[PaleMoonDeath]

Our warrior, "Lol look they are try again inferior Japanese product" :P

Support your locals, I like seeing that.

[WeAreLegion]

Shu and Shigeru both have a huge respect for games of all sorts. I love those guys.

[Segata]

I remember an old interview Shiggy bought a Dreamcast and love Samba and wished he thought of it. He wanted it on a Nintendo console. He eventually got his wish.

[WeAreLegion]

I didn't know that. Awesome! Thanks for the info.

[Moonman]

Sony has good guys working for them. That is why I support Nintendo and Sony. I'll be playing my Switch and PS4 like Yoshida. LOL.

[Fist4achin]

Did he have a red shirt and blue overalls?!

[PizzaSteve]

Yoshida with that inspector gadget jacket on lol.

[StormLegend]

YoShida!!!!

[TheColbertinator]

Seeing how a console with fun games looks like. Good for Yoshi.

[UCForce]

"Sigh"

[NotanotherReboot]

If i had 2 quid for everytime Twoforce "sighs".........

[IamTylerDurden1]

Who? The guy in the red jacket?

[MasterCornholio]

Lol

[senorfartcushion]

Who cares?

[Liqu1d]

You do.

[Fishy Fingers]

Learning how to promote a handheld?

[C-H-E-F]

Best way to beat the competition is to learn as much as you can about them and their product. That's why fanboys are idiotic they don't try to learn anything just bash everything. Anyways Yoshida owns all of the major gaming devices he's said so several times so this is no surprise.

[Relientk77]

Yoshida seems like the coolest guy

[-Gespenst-]

Looking for shiny ideas to thieve no doubt (joke)

[goldwyncq]

Yoshida channeling his inner Nathan Drake?

[feraldrgn]

He's probably really looking forward to the Switch himself.

[Yohshida]

Taking snaps for that PSP2 I guess.

[kungfuian]

Agent is alive, announcement incoming?

[Orionsangel]

Sony - We need all the info we can for the PS4 followup. The Playstation Adapt. It's part console and mobile system.

[greywolf39]

master Shu worked in nintendo for years, so this is normal and it is how you apr. someone

[Gamist2dot0]

Bet he has a lot of Nintendo trinkets/swag hidden under that trench coat. :p

[Stapleface]

They guy just loves games. He has every right to be the biggest Sony fanboy on the planet. But being an adult with a normally functioning brain, he doesn't have time for that nonsense.

[Miss_Weeboo]

That's just Yoshida. One of the coolest guy ever, remember that video where he showed us how you lend a game on Playstation?... Booom In your face Microsoft! I laugh so hard

[WheatBread]

You Sony fanboys should learn from him.

[gamer7804]

even though i've never met him, always struck me as a really nice guy.

[ChristopherJack]

Always found it interesting how Asians, particularly Japanese people, wear protective masks when they have a flu or any sort of disease. Really, it makes sense, wonder why it's never picked up in Caucasian countries. Probably some form of paranoia.
