A new MSX (3?) for 2022 ?

I just read the MSX3 article on ascii.jp and It could really be an very interesting product.
As everyone knows it uses V9990, however... Reading carefully it mentions ARM, Linux, v9990 and Nvidia jetson to keep everything together...
Checking Nvidia Jetsons website, it states:

We are not stuck with only V9990, but really powerful piece of electronics

Translate when not knowing Japanese language.

I was born in 1973 near Geneva, Switzerland. My real start in video games and computers was only at the end of 1986 after discovering the MSX2 in a living room (Gargantini store, Edouard Campos so nice) Before it was just tinkering with Game&Watch and Videopac.
I immediately became a fan with what it generates for a relatively uncommon standard. Regular follow-up of the Micros MSX magazines (ID), MSX News, Micro News....then the Japanese MSX Fan and MSX Magazine.
People from the region with whom I still have more or less distant contacts (Marc, Thierry, Grégory, Alex, Christian....)
But of course, quickly also shot in Paris and France with 2 really cool correspondents Fabrice de Grigny and Patrick de Lyon.
Of course, even at 500 kms, I was quickly in contact with MSX Video Center and Maubert Electronics.

With the decline or even cessation of the MSX in Europe from 1988 (officially anyway) we had to quickly find contacts elsewhere and get by.
A correspondent in Japan (Robin) allowed me to have, after 2 MSX2, the 2 MSX Turbo-R, including the Panasonic A1-GT at the end of 1991.
Of course, even if we were dropped by the usual media, we were all rocked by Tilt, Micro Kids and other media that marked these fabulous 80s that I regret so much!
By the way, I was captivated by the trajectory of Jean-Michel Blottière which can be discovered in this recent video:

The MSX but especially the fact of having to have contacts with Japan after the MSX2, made me love and discover this country. So thanks to Panasonic via the Turbo-R.
Even if I haven't been able to "do" anything in my life, I have notions of Japanese to manage while traveling (12x between 1992 and 2019 including 5 months in 1995)
I'm very nostalgic for that era (roughly 1985~early '90) in a lot of ways.
On the other hand, less and less collector.
And even in the past, after having struggled (stupid according to some) until 1994 (official end) playing games like Princess Maker or Rona when there was the Super Famicom or the PC-Engine in particular. And of course super fan of Konami, Microcabin, T&E Soft etc.
Of course, at 13, it had been easier to get parents to buy a computer (even to play eventually) than just a console.

Unfortunately, even if thereafter the MSX community by the World and in particular in Holland, Spain, Japan etc was welded to survive; I no longer had too many contacts towards the end of the 90s.
I often part with things that I use more or change of interests so unfortunately I didn't keep everything I had in MSX except for a few games, Japanese or French magazines, music CDs... I regret it like my catalogs of era Swiss Panasonic or Sony in particular.

I had PCs, especially at the administrative level (still today but connected to HDMI on my Panasonic 55" OLED TV) and NEC or Nintendo consoles (also the 1st Playstation)
But it's been years that screen time is already quite important with mobile and the rest, so I only play the Switch at a friend's house for games with several people or together anyway (like Super Mario Odyssey does in duo )
Even if I don't have children nor married, the time outside work seems increasingly thin and I prefer it on outings or in the mountains.
It does not prevent that I have always made video games and followed the news here and in Japan on the internet, Youtube, Facebook etc. you may know Hooper, Florent Gorges etc.
But for me, the standard that has been with me since I was 13 is the MSX. So you can imagine that the return of K. Nishi to the front of the stage makes me very happy.
There had been attempts in the mid-2000s but now it seems more serious, to see how the community is moving.

MSX3 (MSX0, 0 Pro...):
Well already, we are in August 2023 and things will change a lot here on December 9:

The ideas of K. Nishi (also met by an incredible chance in Paris a few years ago) are sometimes vague. Suddenly we read that to play it is better to buy an MSX on Ebay (but they will be less and less in good condition) on the other we read that MSX3 models with Type M (Panasonic) or Type S (Sony) design could come out (MSX2+ style so)

The MSX0, which has successfully been crowdfunded and will soon be available on Amazon, is a first step, but not very interesting for me (IoT)
There may be a Pro version (HDMI for TV or monitor)
But not to mention the strange supercomputer (MSX Turbo X 128) planned for the 3rd phase; the most awaited remains the MSX3.

You should also know that number of fans and potential buyers (even if in my opinion this potential will remain under 10000 and which company will make games or software for a confidential computer? No it will unfortunately remain as now community software I think ) don't have much left at home.
So apart from the release of software and accessories in physical form, the download system by D4 Entreprise is a good idea. To have. Availability in Europe.

For my part, the MSX3 must have at least:
- HDMI (to connect to TV or monitor)
-Keyboard included or separate
- compatibility up to MSX Turbo -R
- Cartridge Port
- SSD or HD

The simple MSX3 cartridge to make old models become MSX3 is nice but you also need new central units (like a Type S or M like MSX2+)

K. Nishi did say that this replaces Not a console (not the power and obviously probably no games from known companies) nor a PC or MAC (not the power or software known to all)
Nevertheless, with the few things I do from my PC (internet access, music and photo archiving, copying data from my mobile, Word, taxes...) If the MSX3 running Linux can do that, I could have THAN the MSX3.
So much a fan and ravaged (despite the stupid sale of 80% of my articles at the end of the 90s) that I am ready to put a good price (1000 Euros possible?)
That the MSX3 if equipped as I wish can work with all the current MSX community in the world, that will unfortunately remain a very low figure and in our turbulent times, we will no longer be able to see MSX in stores.
The number of commercial failures before (Super Grafx, Virtual Boy, DreamCast etc) today the risks are much more calculated.

When the MSX was alive, the community in France and Belgium but also in Switzerland seemed strong. Today but I could be wrong, except in the Netherlands or Japan where it has never ceased to be consistent, it seems to be more in Italy, Brazil, Spain.
In any case, even if I fear being disappointed, after the 1983~1994 period, the MSX is coming back in 2023 by its creator and it's still amazing! 2024 will either be a very promising and interesting new momentum with new hardware, accessories and an increase in the community or a wet firecracker.
Let's be optimistic and excited as at the time even if, I conceive it and live it our time of guilt, of negatives does not help. it's no longer the 80s at all possible and enthusiasm....
We cross fingers !
Thank you and long continuation to the MSX. See you soon

News items can take some time to be prepared, they usually make some corrections and add a nice illustration.

Nice.
And Nishi San said maybe a new MSX Magazine issue will be possible
