The Koitoy may sound like a cross between a fish and a toy, but this new toy looks like Japan's answer to the Zeebo. Koitoy ads are all over Akihabara disctrict in Japan but no words or official announcement from the makers yet. Launching could be just around the corner. Koitoy was last heard of from last year's Tokyo Game Show.
This universal ISO player can play PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, NDS and PSP games either from an ISO file or from its built-in Blu-ray DVD drive. A firmware update will also allow you to play retro games from old consoles like Dreamcast. The Blu-ray DVD drive is a Samsung combo drive that makes it suitable not just in games but also as an ultimate media center.
No further details were released yet but we will keep you posted as soon as we get one. I'm just wondering how the big players are going to react about their games being played on the Koitoy.
Breaking News: (April 2, 2009) - It was officially launched yesterday April 1st. Some 5,000 units were shipped to Mars bundled with CADIE, an autopilot software from GMAIL similarly launched Aprils fools day.
Nice try Daimaou!
