10: 00 a.m. on August 14, 1991.
I thought it would be better in the morning, but I missed it completely.
It was because the summer weather in August began to heat up the roads as soon as the morning sun came up.
However, in front of the Tamago Shop, a few days ago, a homeless man crouched in front of the courtyard.
I was silent when I asked if you might get hurt during the event, so I decided to let you go.
"Let's set up a tent there first. How many do you think will be installed? "
"If you understand the other shops, you may be able to install about six to seven. "
"I don't think that's enough. "
I hate that the sky is going to rain tomorrow, the launch of Laon.
I hoped that the weather forecast would be missed, but it was strange that the damp air floating with lots of moisture would not rain even if it was immediately.
After changing the internal structure of the Tamago Shop due to Laon's launch tomorrow, Onhayasi frowned and told me.
"The weather is sticky even in the morning. I think it's going to rain this afternoon. "
"I see."
Then a young man walking past us stopped and asked me.
"Is this the line to sell Raon? "
"Yes? Oh, right. But not today, it starts tomorrow. "
"I know. I'm going to wait now."
"Yes!? "
"I've been looking forward to this day since Raon's announcement. I really want to buy it first. "
"Still more than 24 hours left..."
"It doesn't matter."
The young man sat on the floor, smiling at my words. Until then, the homeless man sitting on the stairs quietly shouted.
"I'm first!!!! I've been waiting a week!! "
"Hiya!! "
When he heard the homeless man's powerful voice, Hayashi was startled and turned back.
So you were in front of the Tamago-shop a few days ago because of Raon?
Oh, my God. Are you out of your mind in the middle of a sweaty summer just sitting there? I wish I had fallen as a Soldier... Ugh!
Could it be because of the weather that has been cool since a week ago without a single drop of rain? As the man approached, he smelled a foul stench that could not be spoken of.
The young man standing in wait number one frowned openly and distanced himself.
"Hey, customer. I'll admit that I've been waiting here for a week, so why don't you come home for a while? "
But he didn't even listen to me with his ear.
You're stubborn. Well, if he wasn't so stubborn, who would be sitting in front of a store a week before he started kicking around in this heat?
Finally, we temporarily placed a tent on top of one of the waiting lines.
It's so hot in the middle of the street, there's no shade, so it'll be hot in the afternoon, okay?
But despite my worries, sometimes when I look back on my work, there were more and more people one by two. Seeing them lightly greeting each other in the queue, I suddenly smiled at my mouth.
Unlike releasing game software, the release of consoles brings tremendous excitement to gamers.
Especially since I've been sprinkling delicious pastry rice since before it was released, the expectations of gamers waiting for Raon have reached their peak.
This was all thanks to Jun Fei and other reporters who had played Raon first, as well as raising the mood and praising the performance of new mobile devices.
After a while, a huge banner appeared on the exterior wall of the Tamago-shop building, and elasticity poured out of the mouths of those walking in the streets of Akiba.
- The day before August 15, 2011. The ultimate portable gaming device to announce the end of the war in the console market. La
Coming Soon!! -
It may seem like a somewhat stimulating propaganda, but it was also an impactful introduction.
By now, there will be similar events in Korea and the United States.
In Korea, of course, Mantra brought in Raon and promoted it through her magazine, because in the United States, Mr. Wilson terminated his contract for the premium shop and started promoting his new mobile device, Raon, as the main one, last month.
Although only two of the launch titles were Final Frontier 4 and Spa 2, the impact was significant, and more than half of the users reported that they wanted to purchase both titles along with the device in an antique survey of Pammy communications last month.
After preparing for the exterior of the building, I alternated meals with the staff who worked with me.
When it was hot and tasteless, we headed to a soba shop on the second floor of the building across from the venue overlooking the view.
"Phew... It's hot. It's hot.
When I put the cold towel from the store on my face, I felt better with my face that had been flushed up. I wiped off the sweat and looked at the staff sitting across from me, and they were all doing the same thing as me.
You must be thirsty. Maurita swallows the cold, elongated water, and Hayashi watches over him and gives him a pinky cup.
"You'll get sick of it. "
"I think I'm gonna die of heat."
"You know, I usually work out..."
"Is that so? I always sit at my desk and draw pictures, and I think I'm getting stiff. "
I swallowed cold water and burst into laughter in their conversation.
"Everyone worked hard. We have finished preparing for the external event, so let's work on the air-conditioning indoors this afternoon. "
"Ouch!! "
"By the way, Morita, You're not in yet, are you? "
"I just got off the phone with you, and you're almost there. Ah! There he is. "
As Maurita pointed out the window, the staff looked down at the venue with a long neck.
In front of the venue, a small truck waits with a black curtain.
Soon Uchimura got out of the passenger seat, and employees, including Miyazaki, who was waiting inside the Tamago Shop, ran to the back of the truck and carefully started moving something.
You're just in time.
I was worried that it might be a little late, but Uchimura must have blown it at the last minute.
"By the way, was that... was it always that big? "
Morita answered my question.
"I contacted Uchimura a month ago and asked if I could modify the 'Psychic Force' 's diorama a bit, but he said it doesn't matter if it doesn't hurt the whole image..."
"Th-that doesn't sound like gold. "
"I have to eat quickly and go down. "
"No, let's eat slowly. Uchimura won't let you down if you're good at it. You must have something else in mind. "
The Uchimura military is now believed to be almost supernova in the figure industry.
Already a 'street without me' kimono version, he had a unique idea for every new figure he made, which was a perfect match for Maurita.
As the demand for collectors increased over time, the quality of professional producers such as Hotobukia gradually declined, but Uchimura's quality continued to rise. (As such, the price of the figures Uchimura makes is increasing…) I first saw the figures of Uchimura and came up with the method of ordering Hottoy, one of the future figures companies.
Even though it is rather expensive and takes a long time to build, it produces a small amount of quality figures that consumers will be satisfied with.
It didn't actually come in great interest, but it did give the collectors a very good image.
Is that so? When I look at the venue while eating, I feel like the queue is longer than before.
Are you guys really going to spend the rest of the day here?
&
When I returned to the store after my meal, I was working on the installation of the diorama.
Then why is it so big? I feel like it's twice the size I thought it would be.
"Give me building A-5 over there. I'll set it up separately. "
Uchimura took parts of the diorama, separated by parts, to help with the installation.
Contrary to what was originally planned for partial combat at at the intersection, the currently completed dioramas have expanded widely around the intersection.
However, the distance between the characters made it more distinctive to the shoot-out by the inter-Kick Force than the usual fighting games.
After about an hour of installation, and finally covering the glass case, the vibrant characters of Psychic Force were placed between the buildings to convey a strange feeling of the scene.
But Uchimura's magic did not end there.
"W-wait a minute. "
Uchimura looks at the bottom of the diorama and flips the power switch.
Fat. At that moment, elasticity leaked from the mouths of the employees gathered around.
"Huff!! "
"What is this? "
I instructed the stunning staff to cover their curtains once they were embarrassed.
Excited by the performance beyond expectations, employees applauded Uchimura.
'Good. The first Hidden Card is more than I expected. '
&
People's expectations of Raon were greater than they thought.
By 3 p.m., the buying procession had begun to move away from the tent they had prepared, and had been expanding slightly ever since.
Pentagon associates, including myself, prepared for safety accidents, leading to a growing purchasing procession. And then after 5: 00 p.m.,
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
"Huh? It's raining."
"Ah, finally. "
As people's complaints erupted, those who had left the tent took out one or two umbrellas. However, there was not a single person who went home or left.
And then something amazing happened. The people in the tent gave way gradually, so that everyone could enter the tent. (However, the original buyer's perimeter was some distance away, as was Moses' miracle.) Thanks to this, people gathered in a narrow tent.
'On a rainy day, the launch ceremony reminds me of the day I went to buy a Diablo before time slips...'
It rained all night, but I ran to the company to buy a limited edition.
Do the people who are here now feel the same way as I do now?
&
The rain continued through the night.
The people who came in wearing a T-shirt in the hot weather had lost a lot of body temperature in the continuous rain. My mind and body were exhausted, but by dawn everyone was able to come.
Me and the Pentagon staff stayed up all night with the users.
"It's... raining a little bit. "
"Really? Well, it's been going down a lot since the beginning of last night, so I hope you can stop now."
Whether Hayashi's heart reached the sky, a ray of sun came down from east to between the buildings.
"Morning."
"Oh, it's been so long. I want to buy it and go home."
"Since the sale starts at 10: 00, there's still three hours left."
Gamers who met each other in the morning smiled as they encouraged each other.
After moderately low rains, I finished the bulk order by connecting several nearby lunch vendors.
Those who endured the cold in the rain overnight began to eat in the streets accepting the lunchbox provided by the Pentagon.
"Throw away your lunch boxes. "
Miyazaki's lively voice rang in the street, and I returned home for a moment and finished showering with hot water.
After I changed into the suit I had left at the laundromat in advance, I repaired my tie in front of the mirror and headed back to the venue.
During a short drive home, Raon's purchasing procession grew more than twice.
The long wait line extends to the inside of the train station, so the station staff approached us and begged us.
Eventually, we set up a purchase lead line inside the Tamago Shop and accepted some users into the event. When people came indoors, they began to rumble looking at the posters of the Raon launch works.
"Wow, Street Fire2!! Khh! I'll enjoy this for a year with one of those. "
"I am the Dragon Emblem. I was so consumed by the remade characters in the magazines..."
"Hmm? What's that black cloth in the middle of there? "
"Really? Isn't there another surprise show? Previously on production announcements, the gaming industry was turned upside down. "
When the people gathered in the room muttered individually and were curious about the black cloth, I felt nervous about the expression on their faces.
And the Kawaguchi delegation was put on the stage for the introduction of Raon with a theme song by the Final Frontier familiar to the users at 10 am.
"Thank you very much for staying up all night, and for waiting for Raon's launch. Raon is the first full-colour portable game machine with a 16-bit CPU, where users can play with their data cables anytime, anywhere. Street Fire2, the most popular player in the Game Center, is also able to have a great battle anytime, anywhere with your friends. "
"Oh-oh!"
"Of course, our Final Frontier 4 from Pentagon Soft also has an epic story and BGM that is not comparable to that of the family. And we have prepared everything with gorgeous graphics, so we hope you enjoy playing. "
Then one of the users in the queue shouted.
"I'll get thirsty while I wait. Hurry and dig!! "
In the user's voice, the Kawaguchi representative slightly smiled and replied, holding the microphone.
"Thank you, and I look forward to starting selling as soon as possible, but before I do, I'd like to share with you some more news from our Pentagon. "
"Oh? What's new? "
"Another new announcement for the launch? "
The Kawaguchi delegate said that the users were getting restless. I was preparing under a single phase and took a short, long breath after loosening the tie strap.
"The new news is from our gaming director, Kang Jun-hyuk, who represents Pentagon Soft. "
In the introduction of the Kawaguchi representative, I slowly stepped up the stairs to the top. The Kawaguchi representative stepped back and faced a number of gamers, I swallowed a dry saliva and looked around the crowd.
'This... feels different from the production presentation...'
I couldn't stand the thought of what was coming out of my mouth.
I straightened my throat for a moment, then took off my dry mouth.
"Hello, I'm Kang Jun-hyuk from Pentagon Soft. Well, first of all, I love bullying you. like dragon emblems, psychic battles, streets without me, Valentine's Day. "
That was my first greeting.
"Hello, I'm Kang Jun-hyuk from Pentagon Soft. Well, first of all, I love bullying you. like dragon emblems, psychic battles, streets without me, Valentine's Day. "
That was my first greeting.
Then, the users who gathered at the venue looked dumbfounded by my ridiculous greetings.
"Wow, I didn't know it when I played it one by one, but when I put it all together like that, it really pisses me off. "
"Yeah, I only remember shitting blood to clear all four of them. "
"Oww! I was crying on my own in a street where I wasn't there, and I was so mad at my mother. "
"I got my back kicked by my girlfriend. That's why you cried when I lent it to you.
She cried, I cried, and the room was just a sea of tears. "
"I live in Raon because of the Dragon Emblem, but unfortunately, it's simultaneous. We have to make it to Final Frontier 4 by launch date. "
"I'm not a Pentagon softball game, but it was really fun even though the psychic battle was tough, and the Feud Mode was so fresh at the time that I remember spending the night with my brother. A follow-up."
"That's a tough one. Mintendo owns the copyright. "
"Well, that's true. "
I just recited a few sentences in the prepared greeting, and the users began to murmur about my game.
I waited for a moment for the atmosphere to subside before speaking.
"First of all, as you know, Raon is not cheap for portable devices. 29,800 yen just for the price of the device. It's more expensive than a superfamily in Mintendo. Instead, I was able to cooperate with Stan de Parties to dramatically lower the cartridge price. The simultaneous releases of Final Frontier 4 and Street Fire2 are 5,300 yen each, which is about 3,000 yen cheaper than the soft prices of other companies. I will not exceed 6,000 yen for Rom Cartridge titles developed in Raon. "
"Ouch!! I like that."
"Yes, it's much better if the device is a bit expensive, but the soft price is much cheaper. Recently, the value of the super family cartridge has come to close to 10,000 yen."
"Yes, the price of cartridges has been going up ever since they were launched, and now I'm afraid to buy a game. What if I bought one? What if it's just a little landmine? "
As they say, recently released games in Mintendo have been too expensive for consumers.
However, Japan is still better off.
In the case of South Korea, the Super Family game has not yet been released, so the title that was crossed in Japan was sold for about ₩ 180,000.
In addition, there were many times when the title was popular, it was over 200,000 won.
When I was a kid, I went to Yongsan to buy Final Frontier 6 with my friend, and was taken away by my scary brothers, and went to buy Final Frontier with the emergency money that I had hidden away. I remember giving up for ₩ 240,000 for a cartridge and returning.
I then added a description of the new cartridge method.
"Flash memory cartridges, which will be released with dragon emblems in the future, will also be available for download at affordable prices in each game shop across the country as much as you can read and write. "
"Download? What's that? "
As long as I am not a user who enjoys PC communication together, the word download sounded very unfamiliar. Finally, I added an additional easy explanation on how to download.
Then one user who had heard all my stories shouted.
"Huh? So if you erase the game inside to get another one, you have to buy it again later? "
"No, it's not. If the code in the cartridge matches your personal information, you can download it for free at any time. "
"Oh!"
But momentary elasticity, this time the other side of the question came up.
"What if I want to play more than one game in a Flash cartridge? Do I need to delete my existing game? "
Even with a fairly sharp question, I didn't lose my smile.
I can't let the developer hesitate in front of the gamers.
"The Flash memory cartridge is coming in two versions. "
"Two versions? "
"Yes, it's a low capacity version that can only store one game and a high capacity version that can store two games. Of course, if you are purchasing a low-capacity model, you will need to clear the game installed inside in order to play another game, as you just asked. "
"Oh, that's too bad. "
"But I can get it back later. That's good."
The cost of the flash memory to read and erase data is very expensive. I also guessed that the unit price was low, 11,800 yen. And the high dose was 19,800 yen.
If the download was activated in the future because it had to suffer a slight loss every time I sold it, I would have no choice but to see the revenue there.
But technology is going to get better and better, and by this time next year, maybe we can lower the cartridge price of Flash Memory a little bit, or we can launch a bigger one.
Once launched, the console led the market for at least five to six years, in which it had the advantage of gradually lowering the unit price of the device, depending on technological advances.
? "But the sale of software for downloads using flash memory cartridges will be about 4,300 yen cheaper than Rom Cartridge Soft, about 1,500 yen cheaper."?
Then the atmosphere began to flow in a form that convinced him to some extent.
? "At the same time these days, a single game soft is really cheap. "
"But you won't get it if you erase it once, will you? I think the Pentagon cares more about its users. "
? "From Pentagon Soft? I've never bought one and regretted it.
I have to go with Rom Cartridge. "
It's the same game, but it gives us some choice. "
"I quickly captured and answered some of the most important things in my conversations.
? "If you are collecting games as usual, you can also purchase a Rom Cartridge as before. Flash memory cartridges are for parents and students who are reluctant to continue buying gaming software for their children.
Just buy the game in the form you want. "
? At first, even the tilted users started to feel cheerful.
· After the atmosphere of the venue warmed up, I signaled to the projector's staff. The employee nodded to my signature and activated the projector that sprinkled on the Battlezone relay.
"Now, let me tell you about our new piece of Pentagon Soft that you're looking forward to. The first game I want to introduce you to is this piece!! "
? "Hot!! "
♪ With a short duet ♪ Sleep differently like a beautiful woman slips in a low position, Are the users suddenly regenerated? I started to get excited about the animated video.
"Oh!!" What is it? Is it the Pentagon's new book? "
Shush!!
At that moment? A woman leaping high on the ground, revealing her tight figure in the white moonlight, turning into an aerial swarm? I started running, stepping on the outside of the building.
What is the camera angle in the video? You lit up her whole body like a 360-degree movie, her face closed up at the end? At that moment, the same voice leaked from their mouths.
? "Azsa Ren!? "
? "What!? No way!! "
"Wait, he looks like him, but he has a different hairstyle or outfit. "
"Can't be Psychic Battle 2!? But it can't be. "
♪ And then the video changed and this time he was wearing a leather jacket ♪ A short cut of a woman appeared on a bike.
♪ On a giant bike ♪ As she races through the city, she looks up at the intersection surrounded by tall buildings and starts pulling the slottle hard.
♪ Behind her at the same time ♪ Red lasers pour out of pursuit vehicles, and she moves her bike from side to side? I barely escaped.
Then he turns the big bike around the ground and fires a pistol at the car.
♪ Back then ♪ Again? Her face is closed up and horrified inside the chairman.
? "Knng!! Ryu Hwa-young this time!? "
"That's right, psychic battle!! "
"Wow!!!!!!? I thought I'd never see you again!!!! "
? "Ugh...? Take all my money, Pentagon? You guys!! "
"With only two appearances, the president flipped over. It was also proof that there were so many people waiting for the psychic battle.
"Characters resembling Ryu Hwa-young constantly run through the city at an incredible speed to spray the car chasing them, and the chase continues to make their hands sweat even as they watch the video."
The opening of the 'Psychic Force', made of ultra-precious quality, was asked by Hoshi Mamoru, the director who will make a name for himself as the 'Striker.'
"Eight minutes worth of video production?" You're so close, it's quality. And the scene proves it? There was.
♪ Bringing colourful, downtown nightlife, in it ♪ The protagonists who remind me of the psychic battle are fighting each other as they head into the city.
"Four women and four men aiming at each other's lives, and then a laser shot from a car hits Ryu Hwa-young's motorcycle," Her light body bounces off with inertia.
It was then.
? "Aaaaah!!! "
♪ With the windshield of a broken car sticking out a long tongue ♪ The jumper pulls out a spear from behind his back. At that moment, a red spot appeared on the center of his forehead.
"Ryu Hwa-young, who was bounced off the motorcycle, twisted his body with a nasty rub and pointed a pistol at him.
"Ice Bullet!! "
Paaaaang!! As soon as the flower of ice rose from his forehead and his neck snapped and flew off, he immediately landed on the ground, fixing his neck bone, which was rattling.
"Th-that's cool."
I was impressed by the battle scenes at the very fast speeds of the users and focused on the screen.
The cystic force's genre name was naturally reminiscent of the 'Second Speed Hyper Battle' as if it was a dragon ball.
'Obviously, you made me a lot of money in a short period of time.'
Later, Ninja jumped into his arms and remembered the propaganda, looking like Azsa Ren, toward the heavy lifting of the collapsing building with one hand.
- Follow-up to Psychic Battle. -Second Speed Hyper Battle. Psychic Force. Game center's up and running this winter. -
"What!? Arcade Games!? "
"Ahhhh!! Could this be an act of war!? Awesome.
Everyone here was shocked at the same moment as the promotional video. The black tent that was in the middle of the users rises up.
"Huff!! "
Like the static image of the animation you just saw, Uchimura's giant diorama was created.
It was giving away the tension of 'Psychic Force'.
"Phew... When will I wait until winter..."
While watching the figures, I raised my mouth slightly and held the microphone in my hand.
"Thank you. We have some users who are tired of staying with us all night, so I will introduce you to a second game right away. "
"Oh, I see something else. "
I look around the crowd for a moment before turning my head to one side and opening my mouth.
"I'd like to introduce you to a writer who's been working with the Dragon Ball to create a sensational basketball boom in Japan. Inosita in Slammerdunk. Can you come up to the stage, please? "
"S-slam dunk? "
Inosita, the original cartoonist named Slamdungk, climbed up to the top and grabbed Mike with trembling hands.
"I've also had a hard time hiding the existence of this title to this day. When you said you wanted to play my work at Pentagon Soft, I was a little confused, but I'd like to share my work with a little more diverse people. This is how we found you in the game.
"Wow!! "
"Dammit... I thought I'd just buy a Final Frontier and Spa 2, but I'm short on money!!! "
"How much are you trying to make me spend today?"
"How much are you trying to make me spend today?"
With Inosita's announcement, the red-headed protagonist bounces off the ball and leaps high toward the goal.
Kwajic!! A thumping scene so intense that the goal breaks, elasticity pours out of their mouths.
From the late '80s to the early' 90s, anyone in the two mountain ranges who led the Japanese cartoon industry would be a Dragon Ball and a Slam Dunk.
However, unlike the dragon ball that has been actively gamified since the time of the family, the slam dunk has never been gamified.
In fact, if you think of it as a sports game at this time, it was because the 'Excited' series was tightly held. If there is no brawl and horse gear, it is also true that something looks boring.
But is that so?
I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to use the unique character castle that only Slammerdunk has.
In fact, the arcade "Slam Dunk Superslam", launched in the mid-90s, was hit by the popularity of characters.
Even those who don't know the basketball position will nod if they tell me something similar to the character...
Slamdungs, made for the Raon, SD-rated arcade-style games into trios to create unique cuteness.
- Peek! -
The event was full of anticipation and excitement as Shohoku (Buksan) and Ryonan (Qingnam) started with a whistle to announce the start of the match.
"Oh, that's cute. "
"Look at the look on Mitsui's face!"
As Shohoku's ball, which had won the jumping ball, immediately flowed towards Miyagi (Song Tae-sup), he saw that the power hole was overlapping with a scene in a cartoon, and elasticity was flowing from place to place.
When Sendo (Yun Dae-hyup) blocked Miyagi (Song Tae-sup) from digging inward for a moment, the ball flowed to the outside angle and flowed to the Normandy (Jung Taiwan).
Mitzi's unhesitant three-point shot was drawn into the goal, drawing a beautiful parabolic line, and the face of Mitzi was closed up on the screen and a cut-in was displayed.
"Khh! What a flaming man!! "
Slammerdunk's demo also continued to be broadcast in the heat of the crowd, and Laon's launch event began to flow into a festive atmosphere.
"Let's give a big round of applause to Inosita, the original author of Slammerdunk, who came to our venue on purpose. "
"Thank you. Please enjoy the game!"
"Well, that's more than enough, let's begin the formal sale of Raon. "
"Wooooo!!! "
Gamers gathered at the event responded with a loud shout as if they were warriors headed for the battlefield.
Those who have not yet come inside the event are crazy to wonder what's going on inside.
Shortly thereafter, the sales event officially began, and a total of eight counters started selling out the new mobile device, Raon, at a rapid pace.
"Give me Laon and Spa 2!! "
"Give me Raon, Final Frontier 4, and Slam Dunk!! "
"Oh, what should I do? Suddenly, a slam dunk pops out of my head."
"What are you thinking about? Just buy it all. You're going to live anyway!! "
"Right? Rather than moaning later because I don't have anything. That's better."
"RPG, battle action, sports games, fantastic lineup!! "
"Don't even think about it. Buy it quickly. I'm so tired..."
As it reminds me of Thanksgiving in the United States, the venue was filled with Raon's customers. Customers who were outside and entered the cool room were staring at the late-known Psychic Force video and the video of Slammerdunk as if they had been hit in the back with a headache.
"The Pentagon is now making arcade games."
"Did you take the battle of Psychic Battle and upgrade it? I'm a little frustrated because I don't have video games, but the opening movie is so awesome... It's like a movie theater. "
"Winter!! Winter!!"
"Is that gonna bring back Takashi, the winner of the psychic battle? "
"Oh, I saw the finals. It was awesome, but at the end of the bulletproof defense. Khh!"
"That still gives me the creeps."
I was thankful for the enthusiasm of users who still remember the psychic battle by overhearing people's conversations.
'This battle will be far more intense than Takashi's finals. '
The ultimate battle speed psychic force was created purely by Morita.
The 'Psychic Force', which changed the genre that was targeted by the shooting into a duel, proceeded to build an arcade substrate based on the direction that saved the image of the character as much as possible.
No matter how brilliant the device was, it was not enough to handle Morita's illustration, but it was clearly better than a clumsy one.
In addition, in the early 90s it was the pinnacle of the Game Center, so it was a very profitable business based on the amount of coin collection.
Wouldn't we need a sparring game to announce the name of Pentagon Soft in the many battle games that will emerge? I proposed, and the conclusion was that everyone was welcome.
Since March, the current development progress of the rapid production of the Psychic Force is approximately 60%.
It was already picking up some form of a duel.
A few days ago, I tried it with Morita as a test character, and it was a very fast battle style that was completely insane.
The point of the battle was to keep a gap in the ESP gauge because it was possible to remove or return a fairly large radius of ammo from a surrounding building due to the shell spilled out by two characters in a large city centre, or to evade it with an ESP gauge.
Especially since the establishment of super-specific skills was not yet established, the 'one-way station' was very popular among employees only when their health was reduced below 30%. (Maybe he was excited about the bart morphing that the character used to close up when he was using the magic wand...)
Unlike Spa 2, which fights closely and with a fierce fist, the Psychic Force felt much different even in the same battle because it avoided the projectiles on the screen or put points on each other's necessities.
'But the coin turnover will be faster this way. Game speed is also fast, and if you get it wrong because of a lot more connectors than a spa, you will win or lose in the blink of an eye. '
As I took a step back to the counter, Morita and Hayashi were waiting for me.
"Awesome. The low-cost soft policy that you designed worked. "
"This is all because of the refusal of Mintendo. It was God's work to transplant Spa 2 from Capco…"
"Clearly, the number two spa is dropping first. "
"It's probably the most popular game center right now. It's also portable, so you can fight anywhere, so it's a natural choice…"
As Hayashi said, nearly nine out of ten people were buying Spa 2.
Immediately after buying the game, some people were playing directly at the table in the store.
The data cables were included by default, so users who came with friends immediately connected their devices and enjoyed Spa 2.
"Wow, that's just like the arcade."
"Yeah, I didn't think it was gonna be like this..."
"I feel like I'm going to cry because I'm touched. I can't believe you can do Street Fires 2 with a portable device in the world. I won't get bored on the train. "
Approximately three hours after the event began, Raon sold almost 2,000. The 5,000 units prepared on the first day were reduced by half in three hours.
While the cashier was turning the register as he switched employees, there was little chance of declining the queue to the outside.
Jun Fei, who had been out since morning to shoot the atmosphere of the launch event, asked me with a tired face.
"Looks like you're faster than you were in the super family. "
"I'm a little ahead of you. "
"I was curious about the user's reaction because the device itself is a fairly advanced booklet, but it's huge.
I didn't know it was going to be like this. "
"You only need to buy the device once anyway, the cartridge price is important. "
"From what I hear, the Dragon Warrior of Phoenix was also meant to make Raon Soft. What do you know? "
"Did you come all the way here for a cover story? "
"There's already a rumor going around in the industry. In fact, we've already announced that we're moving to some third party in Raon. "
"It's a myth. The Dragon Warrior of Phoenix Soft has announced that only the most prevalent consoles in the world are built. The fifth series is probably already being made into a superfamily. "
"Too bad."
"As desperate as Mintendo to keep the Dragon Warrior safe, it won't be easy. "
As Jun Fei said, after Capco, a large soft company, secretly changed development routes towards Raon, there were a number of third-parties.
Fox Soft is a leading company known for its' Devil Castle 'series. Recently, it was Wink Soft that was planning SRPG games using Gundam or Margingga.
"Well, I'm sorry, but it's no longer a trade secret. I can't tell you the details. "
"Tsk. That's disgusting. "
"Lethal...? How much information have I given you so far? "
Then Jun Fei roughly slapped him with a smile and turned to talk.
"Hey, I'm hungry. Aren't you going to eat? "
"My staff hasn't eaten yet, but how can I just run and eat? "
At that time, an announcement came out from the speakers inside the venue. It was Miyazaki from the tone of his voice.
"We would like to remind our customers who have visited the launch event to purchase Raon. We are pleased to inform you that the Street Fire2 cartridge currently launched by Capco has sold out.
We're very sorry, but we wanted to remind you again. "
"What? Already!? "
"No!! I came to buy that."
As expected, the amount of spa 2 ran out first. However, Slammer Dunk and Final Frontier still had a lot of spare space, so users began to buy other software as a pity.
In fact, all three titles were great, so there was no big complaint for the users.
If it was just Final Frontier and Spa 2, it might have been a little dangerous.
&
5: 00 p.m. that day.
Laon's launch, which was hot as the weather in the summer, finally achieved the full capacity of the last seller.
"Raon. A toast to the end!!"
Pentagon employees celebrated the completion of their first console device and drank a can of beer. I worked hard all day, but everyone looked very good.
Jun Fei sneaked out and joined the Pentagon's celebration with a string of friends.
He's got a knack for it too...
I heard Miyazaki calling out to me as she was sipping canned beer with a bleeding smile.
"Sir, we have a call from Mantra Soft in Korea."
Oh, looks like the launch ceremony in Korea is over...
I nodded at Miyazaki's words and picked up the phone that was in the staff office.
Then, beyond the handset, I heard the voice of the excited representative Kim Han-seok.
"As Joon-Hyuk planned, the Liberation Day launch in Korea worked!!"
"The Liberation Day launch ceremony in Korea worked as planned by Joon-Hyuk!! "
"That's good news. It was rewarding to have been to the user conference before. "
As Laon was simultaneously released in Korea, Japan and the United States, he wrote a marketing statement for each country separately.
Therefore, South Korea has been actively exploiting images of the first portable gaming device created by South Koreans aimed at using foreign consoles such as Family, Samsung Gamboy, and Daewoo Fun.
Mantra has remained somewhat knowledgeable in the country as it has been a company that has been driving the right genuine purchases through magazines, and has been continuously pushing the Han language for families such as the Final Frontier series and Dragon Emblem.
Also, before the circulation of the super family officially started in Korea, it became popular with users by distributing the 'street without me' softening.
At present, the superfamily would be fully launched by next year if contracts with Korea's large corporation, "Future Supervisor."
However, the launch of Raon came first, and things began to get a little weird.
Future supervisors have been keeping a close eye on our contract since Raon's announcement, but they were noticing slightly because of their relationship with Minten, and the case of Samsung was connected to the NEGA and so were you.
In the meantime, both of you rushed to contact Raon in Mantra without a rumour. But as expected, my answer is no.
For a big company like that, games are just entertainment.
Especially in the case of Samsung, I have a lot of expectations for the presentation of the Final Frontier 7 Hangul on PC, and finally I remember giving me a big screw. (And then, as an apology, a few months later, he gave me a faithful "ambassador." I've already seen the ending. You guys!!)
However, Kim Han Seok, CEO of Mantra Soft, was different.
He asked for a video of our production announcement and held a user conference for gay mers. in Korea.
Although I was busy on a schedule, I also took a day or so to show up for a surprise meeting, and I remembered the cheerful applause the users gave me.
Raon was launched in Korea at a very low cost of around ₩ 198,000. (Nevertheless, it was quite expensive in the market economy at the time.) The launch volume was also a significantly lower 1500 compared to the United States or Japan, but I expected one possibility here.
'How will the advent of Raon move Korea's game market, which was completely dead due to PC piracy? '
Of course, you can see the effects at least a year or two later.
That night. Good news for Mr. Wilson.
Wilson, who put down a sign for the Mintendo Premium Shop and opened a new mobile device store called 'RAON', said he was busy as a crowd after the opening.
The interesting thing is that each of the three countries had a unique reaction to the same launch title.
In Japan, three titles were sold evenly, while in the United States, Spa 2 and Final Frontier 4 were overwhelmingly sold.
Slammerdunk's popularity in the North American cartoon market has not yet risen, and the popularity has not been great with the NBA JAM basketball game on the PC. (In this era, the game without Michael Jordan was difficult to succeed.) However, in South Korea, the popularity of the slam dunk was explosive. Some users said that if I borrowed Ms. Mantra's words, I'd only come to buy Raon for Slammerdunk.
It was a month before the launch of Laon because it was a time when Slamdunk was popular in Korea. It seemed to be a huge topic to put a little bit of information into the magazine of the game released in Mantra.
A portable game that was pioneered by beauty and work at the same time as its release.
From that day forward, a new territory called Raon was created in the CEO's game.
&
A month after Laon launched. A new social phenomenon has occurred in Japan.
The phenomenon was soon seen on the news, and it was seen by users who were enjoying spa 2 by connecting data cables on the subway.
It's not just the train.
Parks, cafes, and anyone with a Raon in their hand were often seen everywhere.
Laon was popular with users in their 2-30s because he chose a more luxurious design than a rather rugged portable gambler developed in Mintendo.
Usually, users enjoyed the Final Frontier when they were alone and Spa 2 or Slam Dunk with their friends outside, but Slam Dunk was more popular than Spa.
Slammer was gaining tremendous popularity with comic books thanks to users who were fascinated by the thrilling moments of reverse that could only be felt in sports.
Unfortunately, there were only four high schools in the comic book, Shohoku (Buksan), Ryonan (Yeongnam), Shoyo (Shanyang) and Kainan (Hanam), because the story that has been played to date was before Kainan (Haenam).
It was a good thing we had two original teams because we thought there were too few...
&
"Ah!! Stolen!! "
Yuki's scream echoes through the small cafe.
I swiftly stiffened the ball and ran into the rapid air, casting a footshot at an empty goal. But, um...
Taemul!!!
"Kahaha! Just like a cartoon!"
Did you give Sakuragi (Kang Baek Ho) too little shooting ability? How does that not fit in the Norman situation?
Shohoku (Buksan) VS Shoyo (Shanyang)
Yuki's favorite character is Fujima Kenji. (Kim Soogyeom) He is famous for being a handsome player who performs as well as a director.
I heard you cried bitterly because you lost and shed tears in the match against Shohoku. It's a sensation and a dazzling dribble to keep track of the game's flow as well as its looks. He also appeared as a versatile genius player with a short but powerful impact.
Yuki quickly picked up my failed ball and attempted a counterattack.
She learned the rules of basketball as a slam dunk, and she used to play well on the train back and forth to work one day.
While he was playing the game hard, a data cable appeared in front of him and he looked up and saw a strange man standing in front of Yuki.
"I've been watching you the other day on your way to work, Slam Dunk... do you like it? "
How I laughed when I heard that story.
After all, Yuki never refused to play a game with the man. He refused to come to work after the game and asked for his contact information, but he was an employee at the same station?
"Ah, I lost. Lethal. Let me help you..."
Yuki muttered with a cheerful expression on the café table.
I smiled at Yuki with a satisfied look, lowering Laon's power button.
"Ouch!! He just passed out. I'm more pissed off. "
"But you're doing so much better than last time. "
"I'm going to practice until I beat Joon-Hyuk. "
"That's going to be hard. "
"We'll see. "
Yuki looked at me for a moment and smiled a little.
"I think the world has changed a lot thanks to Joon-Hyuk. "
"Hmm? What do you mean? "
"Look around you. It's not just us. It's a table. We're enjoying Raon.
Joon-Hyuk, I don't know about the train, but it's worse. Students who are in transit are sitting on the ground and playing games, and sometimes they're embarrassed. "
"I've seen it on the news before. Data cables are making a mess of public transportation."
At the present time, wireless communication technology was both expensive and very unstable.
But it feels good to be a developer, for better or for worse, when it comes to issues.
Just like Yuki said, most couples here enjoy Raon. In that sense, the slam dunk was truly a stunning trick.
Apparently, Spa 2 was known to be a fighting game for men, so it's okay to slam dunks to enjoy it with your boyfriend.
"You've been busy, haven't you? A psychic force on two sides of the Dragon Emblem? We're also working on a game called "
"I'm busy, but I'm still enjoying my work because everyone is following me. "
"I'm also looking forward to being a fan of Joon-Hyuk's games."
"Don't say that. Your shoulders are a little heavy. "
"Well, you're going to do just fine!"
Yuki swallows a sip of juice on the table and smiles at Betsy.
The remake of the dragon emblem that had succeeded me and her had already been developed, so it was to be deployed as soon as it was finished mass producing the flash memory cartridge.
So what our team is really working on right now is the arcade game, the Psychic Force.
No, in fact, it was a work that was almost finished, but it couldn't come to the end and erase the feeling of 2% deficiency, putting it on hold.
It's not the overall game speed Chendra adjusted last time.
Currently, the Psychic Force was able to play an enormous high-speed battle because the game was 1.5 times faster than the original Psychic Battle.
Nevertheless, Morita and Hayashi were wrapped around their skulls as if they had forgotten something.
I'm sure I can make a substrate like this and be popular enough to use it, but do you think it lacks any impact?
Then Yuki asked me.
"By the way, Joon-Hyuk. Can Slammer Dunk only be played for two? "
"Yeah? Uh, yeah. "
"Oh, I see. I was wondering if I could expand the data cables and we could play as a team of five. "
At that moment, I felt a glint in my head.
Suddenly my hair is clearer and I feel like I've finally found a way out of the misty forest.
"A team of five."
"Hmm? What's wrong with you all of a sudden? Joon-Hyuk?"
"No, thanks to you, I have a very good idea!"
"Phew... another game idea!? "
"Sorry..."
"Ugh, just rest when you're resting. You've been busy for months with Raon."
"Yes, I will. "
"Oh, right. I have some good news, too. "
"What?"
"Joon-Hyuk likes secrets. I'll keep it a secret, too. Turn on our station channel at midnight when you get home. "
"Hmm? You working on something new? "
"Hmph! I don't know!"
Yuki smiled meaningfully with one hand on her chin.
&
That night. On the way home with Yuki, I called Morita.
"Huh? Sir. What brings you here?"
"Morita, can I see you now? "
"Yes? Now? "
"In the meantime, I've realized what I lacked in psychic force. "
