It's great that the V9990 gets everyone talking, so I'd like to have my say.
My Sunrise GFX9000 cartridge stayed in the drawer for about 20 years after purchase because there were no games to use with it. This means that even though it has appeared on the MSX scene since 1994, this video chip proved to be a waste of money all that time.
Although MSX3 will not have an integrated V9990 I want to be positive because I hope the power of this machine is comparable to that of a modern computer. So I hope MSX3 can emulate anything we want including V9990 and OPL4 (the whole openMSX could be emulated within the new MSX OS).
So why bother with this decision, Mr. Nishi is making his choices to keep us entertained again.
Let this be what it is!

Couldn't agree more, we need to praise the work those people does, even if we don't like it (I don't mean we can't ask for features or tell that we would like if X or Y was part of the project, I just mean that I've seen so many people really telling product X or Y is trash because it is based on certain architecture, or because lacks certain thing) we certainly do not need to start bashing and ranting the project/product.
I think it's quite cool, that people from other Z80 systems are now interested in the V9990 as well.
There was a batch from Tecnobytes in 2017 and now a new one for an Amstrad CPC version, so we will have about 60 (new) CPC people owning this card very soon. The MSX version works with an adapter at the CPC, but also at the Enterprise 64/128. Very soon it will probably work on the Amstrad PCW, too.
EdoZ and Trebmint are in the progress of developing platform-independant "full screen" games running in SymbOS (using pattern mode). One has been released last year (Flappy Bird) and one is currently under development (Micro Machines).
I still see a nice future for the V9990 
There could've been interest in the G9k in the revival years... but then people decided to go for MSX1 instead. Kind of reversing things.
That, and I'm not even sure the posibilities sit comfortably in our minds, including having or not having tools for it.
