Following the KiShin announcement on TV Asahi, it sparked enthusiastic discussions among video game fans.
"I knew it! I knew it! It's the latest KiShin video game console!!!" exclaimed a young man with excitement.
"Yeah, I couldn't believe that video games have reached this level of advancement," his friend nodded in agreement.
"With KiShin leading the way, new video game gameplay and graphics will bring players to a heightened experience!" another guy exclaimed.
"That's true!"

After the KiShin announcement, the captivating video game graphics and gameplay showcased on TV Asahi were featured in various newspapers and magazines.
In a magazine called 'Nikkei Electronics,' the KiShin Announcement and the new video game console, 'KiShin-Play Station,' were described.
The graphics were highly praised, with the writer stating, "KiShin is truly the leading innovator in the video game industry! The video game graphics and the captivating gameplay showcased by 'THE NEED FOR SPEED' alone are wonderful. As a casual player of video games myself, I eagerly await the various games that will be released for KS1 in the future. Like other video game fans, I am also anticipating the game that wasn't showcased by Shinro Suzuki due to the limited timeslot – the video game 'KiShin All-Stars Racing!' Everyone is intrigued by the game that seems to be utilizing the full potential of KS1, as highlighted by the founder of KiShin, Shinro Suzuki."
Another magazine, 'E.E Time Japan,' also features the KiShin Announcement and praises the advancements and innovations of KiShin.
Numerous other magazines focusing on electronics, technology, and recently established video game publications also feature and commend KiShin for its contributions to electronics development and innovation.
As time passed, on April 15, 1994, the KiShin announcement reached the USA through magazines as well.
However, media outlets in the USA remained strangely quiet regarding the advancements and new innovations of KiShin in the video game industry.
As a result, some video game fans only learned about the KiShin announcement in Japan through magazines that focus on technology.
Several recently established video game magazines provided additional details about the KiShin announcement that occurred in Japan.
Many video game fans eagerly awaited updates on the KiShin announcement from various media outlets, wondering whether it was a KiShin April Fool's joke or a truly revolutionary product in the video game industry. However, their disappointment grew as they waited for news, and the media outlets failed to feature the KiShin announcement in Japan. Even Americans, solely interested in whether KiShin was playing a country or not, remained in anticipation, yet strangely, the media outlets didn't provide any latest news on the matter.
This has left some people curious about whether KiShin really fooled a country for an April Fool's Day prank.
Fortunately, some magazines provided detailed coverage of the KiShin announcement in Japan on April 1, and soon, word spread about the latest video game console from KiShin.
"Is this for real? KS1 and 'THE NEED FOR SPEED' racing? What are you waiting for? Let's go to Japan!" exclaimed Juan, a wealthy Mexican living in America.
"Bro, I don't have the budget," said his Asian friend.
"I'll cover for you, don't worry," Juan reassured as he patted his friend on the back.
His friend nodded and added, "The magazine mentions that KS1 will be released first at the Akihabara KiShin store. As soon as the clock in Japan hits 6:00 am, the store will immediately start selling the KS1, unlike other KiShin stores or some malls in Japan, which will have a delayed release."
Upon hearing it, Juan immediately exclaimed, "Well, let's go to Akihabara."

President Taro Ikeda and the new CEO of Tora Electronics, Itori Tanaka, along with the executives, discussed the capabilities of the KS1.
"From our observations alone, KiShin has indeed surpassed our research on video game consoles with the showcase of their newly released video game console KS1," remarked Itori Tanaka, tapping his fingers on the table.
"Indeed, I still find it hard to believe that a small company from two years ago has grown this much and even surpassed the research capabilities of the joint venture Tora-Suzuki," President Taro Ikeda lamented with a sigh.
"The graphics and the advancements in video game development at KiShin seem to be ahead of us as well," added one of the executives.
Another executive added, "I initially thought that the KiShin's new video game console would still be inferior to the current console we are developing, but it seems that I am gravely mistaken..."
Itori Tanaka nodded and then remarked as he looked around, "You shouldn't underestimate the capabilities of KiShin." He paused and continued, "KiShin has proven itself to be on the same level as major companies, with their remarkable achievements in sectors beyond video games, such as Lego and the film 'Jurassic Park,' and even in the entertainment music industry. This is enough to prove that KiShin is not just any company that we can associate with common sense."
When the executives heard it, some disagreed with the CEO's words, while a few felt that CEO Itori Tanaka's words made sense.
Kenji, also present in the meeting, found that his older brother's words made a lot of sense. He had observed KiShin since its inception, having been the sales associate in contact with KiShin from the start. Kenji recalled making a deal with Shinro Suzuki himself over the phone. At that time, although he couldn't reveal to others that he was Chairman Asahi's son to Tora employees, he held a sense of pride and a bit of arrogance. He even felt a sense of disdain towards Shinro Suzuki when KiShin was a small company, initially situated in a cheap and small apartment. Kenji remembered handling the delivery address for Tora components to KiShin at that time. Now, Shinro Suzuki and KiShin had grown to a point that seemed unreachable for him.
Currently, Kenji was part of his brother's team, competing with KiShin in the video game sector.
The Tora-Suzuki alliance significantly contributed to Tora's technological advancements in video game consoles and game development. However, this wasn't the sole reason for the Tora Corporation's decision to ally with Suzuki. Chairman Asahi Tanaka saw this as an opportunity for his sons to develop and grow. It was a chance for him to observe how his two sons would handle business and strategies.
