Noda Crystal Corps Plays Meccha Chameleon At Mouse Computer TGS2026 Booth

Mouse Computer hosted a stage event for the party game Meccha Chameleon at its G TUNE and NEXTGEAR booth during Tokyo Game Show 2026, which ran at Makuhari Messe through Sunday, September 20. The event, titled "[Yoshimoto] Noda Crystal Corps de Meccha Chameleon," started at 13:00 that day. Seven performers took part: Noda Crystal, Yui P, R Fujimoto, and the four members of Girly Record Channel. The MC was Shinichiro, a former Yoshimoto comedian and eSports caster. In Meccha Chameleon, players paint their own characters to blend into the map and hide from a seeker within a time limit. R Fujimoto, known for Dragon Ball impressions, opened the first round as the seeker but was too slow to catch anyone, and the hide-and-seek turned into a chase. The stage used a NEXTGEAR JG-A7G6T White TGS2026 Exhibition Commemorative Model, a water-cooled desktop with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X processor, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPU, 32GB of memory, and a 1TB SSD.

R Fujimoto opened the first round as the seeker in a Vegeta mood, and Yui P needled him with "Vegeta isn't all that great" as the round fell apart. Autograph signing on fans' game consoles happened at the booth as well.

  • Noda Crystal: mimicked crops on the map in round two, then jumped from his hiding spot to bait the seeker, outrunning her as a veteran player would.
  • Yui P: took the seeker role in round two; in round three she mimicked the dakuten voicing marks on a signboard, which drew a "Nice" from viewers.
  • Noda's final turn: as seeker on the shopping street map he reasoned that "the characters are three-dimensional, so if you look from the side, they should be sticking out."
  • MC Shinichiro: called Noda's crop mimicry "that's quite an interesting way to hide."

Mouse Computer's booth sat at Exhibition Hall 8, booth 08-N06, under large G TUNE and NEXTGEAR logos. Its September 17-18 business days featured DAIV for creators and MousePro for business. A gaming PC with a mobile CPU was announced at the show, and a black model joined the NEXTGEAR mini tower clear shift case. The TGS2026 Exhibition Commemorative Campaign offers 11,000 yen off NEXTGEAR towers and 44,000 yen off the clear shift case.
