Of course only Microsoft can mess up something as simple as a console name but this is Genesis/mega drive level
Well, I chose it because of the OTL Series X/S............
Don't worry..........Sega may eventually get their way..........

Founded in 1999. Began Operations in 2000. Became known in 2001.
Starboard Entertainment is a new anime distributor founded by Maxison Rayfield and Riski Mizama. However, they will eventually do more than just anime.
Their first dubs is Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, which will debut this Fall.
It is also rumored that Starboard is looking to bring the Ultraman franchise back to America by dubbing Ultraman Tiga.
Regardless, this studio has a very bright future ahead, be on the lookout, at first, they may look like another 4Kids by the Yu-Gi-Oh! license, but I'm sure this is only the beginning of what could be a great studio!

Where abouts will the yugioh English dub be recorded in this timeline
For now, all of Starboard's dubs will be recorded at Bang Zoom!
If-NO-WHEN Starboard gets big enough, an acquisition of Bang Zoom! might be in the cards.
