Hey You, Pikachu!

In Hey You, Pikachu!, we developed a microphone exclusively for the Nintendo 64, and created the world's first game where you could use your voice to communicate with a game character. "The Voice Recognition Unit needed to be customized to accommodate the child's voice quality, but when the child was in front of the actual game, he got excited and yelled 'Bigajuv!!' That was unexpected." (Muneaki Ozawa) (December 12, 1998)
