Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Multiple issues Шаблон:Infobox CVG system The GP2X Wiz is a handheld game console and portable media player developed by South Korean company GamePark Holdings running a Linux kernel-based embedded operating system. It was released on May 12, 2009, and was the first console from both Game Park and Game Park Holdings to be also released outside South Korea. It is the successor to the GP2X.

Overview

An image of the Wiz system was first leaked on the web in late July 2008.[1] Rumors had been circulating that GamePark Holdings was in the process of making a new handheld, since they had abruptly discontinued production of its first handheld, the GP2X, in late June/early July. Prior to the official announcement, this handheld was sometimes referred to as the GP3X.[2]

On August 26, 2008, GamePark Holdings announced that it was planning to release a new handheld, named the Wiz.[3][4] Along with the announcement, a brochure detailing a great amount of launch information was released, complete with the system's specs.[5] The brochure stated that new games would be released every month for the system; This is a deviation from the GP2X, which did not have many commercial games. However, the Wiz still appears to be primarily advertised as an open-source system, meant for homebrew development of games and emulators.

On September 2, 2008, it was reported that the GP2X Wiz's button layout was to be revised, and the second D-Pad on the right-hand side of the system was to be removed. In order to make these design changes, the release of the system was to be pushed back to November 2008.[6]

Around the last week of April 2009, GamePark shipped test units of the GP2X Wiz.[7] These are thought to be the final hardware revision before the actual product launch.

Retailers for the GP2X Wiz stated that they planned to begin shipping the GP2X Wiz as soon as October 8, 2008. Шаблон:As of, retailers are listing the price of the Wiz at US$179.99.[8] The GP2X Wiz started shipping as of May 13, 2009.[9]

An online application store was set to launch in August of 2009.[10]

Official accessories for the GP2X Wiz include the Accessory Kit (which comes with an SD card case, a wrist strap, and a spare stylus), a screen protector, and a Genuine Leather Case.[11]

The successor of GP2X Wiz is GP2X Caanoo.

Myungtendo

In February 2009, South Korean president Lee Myung-bak had stated that "Korea needs to develop a video game console like a Nintendo DS".[12] This statement was parodied with the "Myungtendo MB", an obvious rip-off of the Nintendo DS.[13] While completely unrelated to the Myungtendo incident, the GP2X Wiz is often nicknamed as the "Myungtendo", due to its release shortly after the statement.[14]

Hardware

The GP2X Wiz has a slim profile compared to the earlier GP2X.

Specifications

Based on the specs released by GamePark Holdings, the Wiz appears to have a considerably more slim and compact form factor than that of the GP2X. The Wiz also has a fairly large amount of built in flash memory, which GamePark has stated will be used to hold games that will be included with the system. OLED screens have much better contrast ratios than LCD screens, particularly because, unlike LCDs, they can display true black.
