Naka-san on Google's new cloud console 'Stadia'

News from 2019.03.20
Archived on 2019.03.23

Google's new hardware: Stadia has been announced today and Naka-san tweeted his thoughts about it.

A Twitter user posted these pictures which he found at GDC2019, and Yuji Naka-san retweeted them.
The tweet shows a row of game consoles such as Dreamcast, ATARI, PlayStation and so on, and at last an empty box hinting at a new console developed by Google.


Later, an article about this new console, 'Stadia', was released from GIZMODO and Naka-san posted his own thoughts on the matter together with the link to an article:

Naka-san: "Google's hardware, sounds interesting. It drew my attention. Are future consoles going to be like this?
I'm looking forward to seeing who will be the first one to think of a game that is unique to such cloud console.
I guess at first there will be ports only."

This must be a very intriguing topic for Naka-san, who himself is a very talented programmer who was in charge of porting games to different systems and consoles when he was still a highschooler.

There are also rumor going around that Google and SEGA will be / have partnered up for the new console.
Let's see what they are going to present in near future! This new game streaming service might change our standards of gaming.
