The next day. I opened my eyes on the dormitory bed provided by Mintendo. Hmm... It's worse than a hotel, but it's an accommodation provided by the company. It's not bad. Above all, the company is close, and we feel a little reared, but let's just think of it as just a feeling.
Working in the 1980s started as a national gymnastics team... and now I'm standing in the front yard of a corporate prison, exercising on time. Even though I tried to relax, my colleagues were working too hard, so I also followed the gymnastics in a stiff posture.
"Even today!! Hard!!"
"Waaaahhhh!"
At the end of the last relief, Mintendo's staff rushed out as if they were rushing into a hostile camp.
"This is crazy."
I mumbled in Korean and followed them; in the 1980s it was a strange era in which the idea of organism was more important than individualism.
&
"Ms. Grant, why is Kang-gun an overseas sales part? I recommended it, so of course you should put it in the portable console fabrication part."
"No, Gunpei. What if my brother asks me to meet him and he tries to take it away with his development part? I talked to them and they had to come to the Gaming Soft Development Part. "
"Shut up!! All interviews are assigned through me to the department that I think is right for me. Kang Jun-hyuk Military is an overseas sales part. His résumé had a knack for English, and he's a big shot for the American market! "
The three chiefs who would lead Mintendo were fighting over me. As soon as my department was assigned to overseas sales parts, Gunpei and Shigeru saw the announcement, and at the same time, they made a fuss to come up and take me to the boss's office.
"You bastards! I'm the boss!! "
In the end, Kamauchi and Shigeru had no choice but to keep their mouths shut. I almost burst out of laughter as I listened to them in the corner. He is also fighting over one of me and handing me over to the department he wants, but how happy is it for the party?
But I couldn't keep them this way, so I carefully intervened in their conversation.
"Look, I'm sorry, but can I say something? "
"What? The new temples talk about their superiors. All right, let's hear it somewhere. "
"I don't think I'll be able to come to a conclusion if I keep this up, so I'm just going to give you a simple road trip. "
"Traffic clearance? I like his metaphor. Haha!"
Kamauchi smiles faintly. He was more impatient and decisive than I expected.
"First of all, Mr. Nisekoi. I think I've already drafted the next generation of portable gaming devices. With an organic display and cartridge system, the valley as the next portable device is already perfect. Your current 8-bit family level of performance will be challenging, so focus on your selling price first with at least's specification. Family prices today are 14,800 yen, so at least they'll be cheaper to convince people. If you have directions to lower the amount by just 1,000 yen, go for it. "
"Hmm... I'm sure it is. The cartridge system could use our manpower, so how much should the organic display be worth? "
"Once you have crafted, you will be expected to place a bulk order, so you may bid openly. You can get better items at a cheaper unit price. "
Then Kamauchi looked at me and said,
"Look at this guy? Young people are good at business. "
I glanced at Kamauchi with a smile.
"Next, Ms. Grant. I have no complaints about you handing me over to overseas sales. Given the opportunity, we will strive to make the family look successful in the US market. But...
"But?"
"Don't tell me to go to war without weapons and get shot. "
"What?"
"Families are now a starting point in Japan. The only title that works in the United States is Dongking Com. At this rate, Americans will not be sold any more titles, just called" The Donkey Com Machine. "Now, even though we're supplying machines and software alone, if you wait a little bit, the arcade gaming companies are going to turn their attention to our families. "
"But you can't just wait around like that? "
"Of course. That's why we need you. The title Mr. Shigeru is currently contemplating is probably the one that will record the hit at the same time as the launch. At the moment, it would be best to focus on the title and issue in the shortest time possible. Why don't we make a substrate first and supply it to the Game Center in the United States, if possible? If so, it would be a tremendous weapon to sell families on the American market. "
Now, my traffic clearance ends here.
"That's all I want to say. "
"I've never seen an employee come in like this while doing minten's job. Hey Gunpei, what's wrong with Koreans? "
"I don't know. "
"I like your cool temper! Fine, I'll do whatever you want. Shigeru. Let's take the gangsters and make it quick. "
"Yes, I understand!! "
Shigeru answered me as if he were satisfied with the boss's decision. Yes! Let's make it together. The most selling legendary game in the world.
&
"This isn't it... Why is it so awkward? "
"Something wrong? "
"Ah, welcome to the Gangbang. The introduction of transverse scrolling to the new Maridge game is fine. Doesn't something seem a little awkward? "
"Oh, really? "
Working with Shigeru was fun for me. The basic progression structure for the Supermaridge was already being built at crazy speeds by Shigeru and my ideas, but for days now Shigeru has been standing on an empty stage with nothing.
I was already aware of the answer he was contemplating, but did not tell me. It's like looking at a test student with an answer sheet in his hand. I could have made SuperMaridge faster by releasing the right answers, but I was waiting for someone right now.
Then one day in November.
"Mr. Shigeru, the family game demo disc has arrived? "
"Oh, I'm a little busy right now, so put it on the table there. "
Shigeru, who was still researching Mario's movements, did not even bother to look at the parcel the employee brought him.
Mintendo, a lesson in Atari Shock, was reviewing games that would be released directly to the family to sell quality games. Inspection is a system that is produced as a cartridge when we, the development department, try and judge the value and pass it, similar to a manufacturer who created an application in 2015 being inspected before entering the App Store.
I picked up the parcel on the table on behalf of busy Shigeru. The caller was a rather odd name for a company called HEG Labs, and I saw the name of the person listed below, and my fingertips trembled.
'I'm here. I'm finally here!' '
In the name of Kawata Satoshi, I quickly unpacked my parcel. The name of the game written on the little floppy disk was' Balloon Fight. '

'I'm here. I'm finally here!' '
In the name of Kawata Satoshi, I quickly unpacked my parcel. The name of the game written on the little floppy disk was' Balloon Fight. 'Yes, I've been waiting for this to come!!
"Strong troops? What's the matter? "
"Shigeru, can we do a mood swing and a checkup together? "
"Is that so? I really don't know... I'm moving from side to side as clearly as I'm manipulating. Why do I feel so foreign with a cross scroll?" "
"Let's just cool off for a second with this instead of thinking too deeply!"
"I think I'd feel a lot better if I played Cuzo in this mood. "
"But you have to inspect it anyway. "
I sat at the table with Mr. Shigeru and played a floppy disk from HEG Labs. When the title screen appeared with cheerful music, we basically moved the crosshairs upwards and downwards, dividing them into 1P and 2P shapes that could also be enjoyed.
"Well, the first feeling's not so bad. Let's get started."
I started the game by pressing the start button in two-person mode. A moment later, there were blue and red characters hanging from three balloons on both ends of the screen.
"It looks normal to me. "
I swiped the A button to float the character in the air. Then the character flew slightly as if it were really hanging on the balloon and landed, and pressed the button in succession, and then it leapt up into the sky. You begin to defeat the incoming enemy with a given arrow.
"Shooting game... why is this so hard to move? "
I smiled and replied.
"Well, it's not as easy to manipulate as hanging from a balloon. "
"Why won't you move properly even if you press the directional key!? Ahhhh!"
Bam!! Eventually, the character hit by the enemy lost a balloon.
"Losing one balloon makes it harder to control!! "
Bam! But I've been dodging my foes with arrows. Operation was not too difficult because I had done it a lot as a child. The beauty of balloon fights was the point of using the balloon button to flick the button and flick the character high at the right time.
"Isn't it hard to manipulate the Force!? How do you do it so well? "
In Shigeru's question, I was just manipulating the character with a smile. Then the arrow I shot missed and went through Shigeru's last balloon. Bam!! Pieroro...
"What!? Did you get hit by one of your arrows? You can't do this!! "
"Well, in my case, it's more fun. "
"What!? No!! Strong!! Don't come! Don't come!!! "
Bam!! Bam!! I dodged Shigeru's arrows and hit my torso to pop the balloon. In the blink of an eye, Shigeru became a GAME OVER.
"Hey, one more game. How dare you kill an ally. "
This is the beauty of balloon fights... The people of our development part that afternoon were busy enjoying balloon fights. It was fun to pop an ally's balloon. In the end, the game became a matter of who survived the attack instead of defeating the enemy.
"Oh, this is so much fun! A little touch of control will make a great game!! "
One of the development staff admired the balloon fight. But I thought differently.
"I feel like this manipulation will double the fun of the game. "
Then Shigeru, who was watching the game next to him, opened his mouth as he stroked his chin.
"Obviously, the operation is inconvenient. It's very natural. Do you really feel like you're manipulating a balloon? Why are you doing this? "
At that moment, I hit the button quickly, avoiding the flying arrow. Then the character suspended in the balloon quickly began to soar into the sky. At that moment, Shigeru's eyes flashed.
"Accelerators?"
You finally figured it out... But the developers who were with you didn't really understand the meaning of what Shigeru said.
"Yes? What do you mean? "
"You've introduced acceleration to your character's movements!! That's right. When the speed peaks, if you type the key in the opposite direction, of course it will bounce off of you with inertia. That's why we feel this natural manipulation is uncomfortable. I can't believe you programmed inertia into this world. Where did you make this game!? "
"This is Kawata Satoshi at HEG Institute. "
"I have to go right now. Gang-gun, come with me. "
I'm so lucky to have met Kawata Satoshi this time. I nodded at Shigeru and quickly put on my coat.
&
Kawata Satoshi, this particular man, whom I was not aware of until recently when I returned to 1983, has been the fourth president of Mintendo since 2002. As the CEO and developer of Mintendo, he was the hero who saved Mintendo from being arrogant in the 2000s, and was also the hero who put Mintendo at the helm of a permanent mobile device.
His work, Balloon Fight, Cavi of the Moon, and Fader, was on the cutting edge of his masterpiece during the mintendo game, and he and Shigeru would later create a number of games.
"By the way, Shigeru. According to this address, there's an office in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo! "
"I don't care! Let's head to Shinkansen tonight!! "
Shigeru seems to have figured out the answer to the problem he's been working on while manipulating Maridge. I followed him enthusiastically to Kyoto Station.
Approximately 6 hours later at 11: 00 p.m., we were standing in front of Shinjuku Station, where the cold wind was rising.
"Why didn't you just come early tomorrow? "
"I see."
Sometimes someone's enthusiasm makes people suffer like this...
&
The next day, overnight at the hotel, we found a software development office called HEG Labs early in the morning. This was a very hard atmosphere for balloon Fight's construction office that captured Khumamoto Shigeru, where it was primarily a place to make simple programs into electronics calculators or copiers.
"Who are you looking for? "
"This is Kawata Satoshi. Isn't she here? "
"Kawata? Kawata... Hey, is there someone in our office named Kawata Satoshi? "
A large man who appeared to be an office employee asked the man next to him. Then the employee who was looking at the office replied as if he was annoyed.
"Oh, you know that part-time part-time student. "
Then, the big man nodded, clapping his hands. Part-time life? So you're not even a full-time employee here. Turning his head, Shigeru couldn't hide his embarrassment either.
"Part-time part-time? "
"Yes, I'll be at work around 2: 00 p.m. "
"Oh, we'll see you again this afternoon. "
If it's going to be like this, I don't know why I came here last night to leave this morning. We left the office and stared at each other dazed. Where do you think you're going until 2: 00? Then a young man in his mid-20s passed us by to the HEG Labs office. Huh? He looks so familiar just now...?
5: 5 His appearance, which is a divisive point, was no different from the one I remember from 2015.
"Hey, Kawata!? "
"Yes? "
"Are you Kawata Satoshi? "
"Yes, but? Who are you?"
I found it!! Shigeru turned to Kawata for a moment and asked Kawata with a puzzled look.
"Are you the Kawata Satoshi who sent the balloon fights to Mintendo? "
"Oh, is it already there? Haha! How was it? Was it fun?"
Kawata Satoshi will serve as Mintendo's first family and foreigner thanks to its very polite image but outstanding management sense. So I met another 24-year-old genius who would lead Mintendo.
&
"Ah, so the more you type in the button, the faster the character moves and the player moves in the reverse direction. The point is to force it to slow down and overload. "
Programming is like converting the movement of reality into a number. If Maridge starts running at the speed of 1, speed up to the speed of 2, 3 after 2 seconds. When you jump from that state, the current Speed stat and Jump stats are combined to create the distance between jumps. However, when a player moves in the reverse direction to the middle, it is not directed directly from the number 3 to -1, but furthermore from the number 4 in turn, 3, 2, 1, 0 –1. This was the basic description of Satoshi for inertia.
"I feel like my head's finally clearing up. Kawata, you've been very helpful. And speaking of balloon fights you made, why don't you come in and make one with us? This is gonna be good. "
"I appreciate the offer, but I have some work to do at HEG Labs for now. "
"Really? That's a shame. But if you have any ideas, give us a call. "
Shigeru gave his business card to Kawata. On the return train, Shigeru was restless, anxious to go back and complete Maridge's move. This has satisfied all the elements that will create a Supermaridge. The production will be completed shortly, but since there is a cartridge production period, the Super Maridge will probably be launched around early 1984, right? It's supposed to be from '85, but it's a year ahead.
Gunpei's portable gamble will also be released sooner than I expected, and I felt that things were going faster than I had ever known since I arrived here. It's only a matter of time before we figure out if this is right.
