EVO Japan 2026 presented by Revatech (EVO Japan 2026) is one of the largest fighting game festivals in Japan. This time, we'll introduce you to the REJECT, VARREL, and DetonatioN FocusMe booths!
REJECT booth!
Saiga NAKThe REJECT booth, where Umehara, who most recently competed in "Evo LEGENDS LIVE - DAIGO vs MENARD", also belongs!
The REJECT booth will sell T-shirts and other merchandise! The lineup is rich in variety, including stylish designs typical of an e-sports team as well as items featuring the Tenki Pururu motif!
The display shelves also stood out with their contents clearly visible. It looks like a meat corner.
The most notable exhibit was the " REJECT Arcade Controller," an arcade controller supervised by Mr. Haitani!
The " REJECT Arcade Controller EVO Edition " in white and blue as well as the black and red coloring that is sold to the general public will be on display!
Saiga NAKNot only were they on display, but visitors were also able to try them out for themselves! I had the chance to try it out, and I can sum it up in one word: " very easy to use "! In addition to the standard Sanwa Denshi levers and buttons, which Akebono players are familiar with, it is also extremely lightweight for an Akebono controller. Professional-level Akebono players have a problem with "jump leaks when inputting commands such as Hadoken," but this problem has been solved with a "jump button mode" that switches upward input to a lever-less button input. This problem has been solved by installing a "jump button mode" that switches upward input to a lever-less button input.
Saiga NAKIn addition, the grip with handles and other features make this an excellent product for players who actively aim to participate in tournaments.
However, the 24mm buttons, which are smaller than those on the old arcade machines, are suitable for quicker input, but may not be suitable for some people depending on the size of their hands.
The REJECT Arcade Controller is currently available for pre-order! If you are interested in it, check out the official online store!
VARREL booth right after the announcement of the new organization!
Saiga NAKThe VARREL booth has been attracting a lot of attention since professional figure skater Shoma Uno and professional gamer Tokido, who graduated from the University of Tokyo, joined VARREL! When I visited the booth, there was an event announcement featuring Mr. Tokido!
Of course, official merchandise is also available for sale! Uniforms worn by the athletes are also on sale! Of course, there is one for Masama Uno, too! You'll feel like a world champion if you wear it!
Ikenkuma is back on sale at the DetonatioN FocusMe booth!
Saiga NAKDetonatioN FocusMe, a professional e-sports team operated by DetonatioN Inc. will also have a booth!
Here, too, you will find many stylishly designed goods that are typical of e-sports teams! New goods are, of course, also available!
Saiga NAKThe long-awaited re-release of the "Ikenkuma Plushie" designed in the image of Itabashi Zangief! This popular item sold out immediately at the SF League Grand Final! The smiling face is very cute! No wonder it sold out immediately.
There were many other attractive booths as well! We hope that those who went to the event will remember the heat, and we also hope that those who couldn't make it will feel the atmosphere of the event, even if only a little.
