According to the normal procedure, the opening of a game should have ideally taken place during the day on that day.
However, as a carnival, it seemed unnecessary to stick to conventions.
At the stroke of midnight on March 1st, the sports field and carnival venue simultaneously burst into dazzling fireworks.
Countless players witnessed this scene firsthand.
They all looked up, their eyes wide open.
The fireworks display began with a familiar melody, the most classic theme of Super Mario, the original theme.
Players also liked to refer to the starting sound effect of Super Mario 1 as the beginning of the game.
Accompanied by a variation of the Mario music, the familiar big-nosed Mario emerged from the sports field, passing through fireworks, simulating Mario's jumping movements, and hopping step by step to the carnival venue.
At the top of the carnival venue on this side, there were two very prominent numbers.
10
This represented the tenth anniversary of Gamestar Entertainment.
Gamestar Entertainment had been booming for nearly a decade, becoming sacred in the hearts of countless people.
As the fireworks blossomed, Mario also arrived beneath the number 10.
Then, with a leap, Mario disappeared along with the fireworks belonging to 10 with a crisp impact sound.
"Wow! What an amazing fireworks display!"
"Wait, wait, what did I miss? Why did the fireworks show suddenly start?"
"Fool, I guess you didn't know, ten years ago, it is said that Gamestar Entertainment's first game Super Mario and the first game console were also completed in the early hours of the morning, so naturally, this time also has great commemorative significance!"
"What? Is there such a legend? I had no idea."
"Legends are probably more real the fewer people know about them, right?"
After the fireworks ended, people immediately began lively discussions. Some were already feeling sleepy, but now they were completely awake.
At this time, many people had no intention of sleeping at all. Even in the early hours of the morning, many people gathered to play games, and the scene was spectacular.
Next, the large screen at the entrance of the venue lit up, illuminating the large square in front, and many small tents became unique decorations.
These tents represented groups of the most loyal fans of Gamestar Entertainment, and they were now full of anticipation.
There were still eight hours left, and many people might not be able to sleep tonight. At least many players who dared to set up tents in front of the venue were definitely not going to sleep.
But for the love of the game, they didn't care at all.
At the same time, they were all very young, full of energy, and staying up all night was not a problem at all.
In the middle of the night, the entire tent area was very lively, and the enthusiasm of the players showed no signs of diminishing. Even though there was still a bit of chill in Japan at this time, it didn't stop these players from interacting and playing games with each other.
Among these crowds, there were several very special people mixed in.
One of them was Huckle Brown.
At this moment, he felt very emotional.
Gamestar Entertainment was indeed the most influential electronic game company. He had thought about surpassing Gamestar Entertainment several times, but it was as difficult as crossing a mountain.
However, he was also fortunate. After being fired from his own company, he dared to change the tradition of game development in the United States and insisted on keeping his team together, and he also made a name for himself.
Now his company had a well-known shooting game series and online role-playing game works.
These two works had become the most important source of income for his company.
However, he still couldn't compare with Gamestar Entertainment.
Even he himself was now a supporter of Gamestar Entertainment. There were many Gamestar Entertainment games in his house, and he believed that Gamestar Entertainment was the best. There was really nothing he could do about it.
Watching the end of the fireworks and the countdown screen light up, he felt that there probably wouldn't be any more extra programs tonight. After all, the players still needed to rest well and prepare for tomorrow. At least for him, who was getting older, staying up was not an option.
But just as he was about to crawl into his tent, he inadvertently caught sight of a figure not far away.
That figure seemed somewhat familiar, but because it was just a quick glance, he only vaguely felt familiar. By the time he wanted to see the person in that direction clearly, the person had already disappeared.
Perhaps it was an acquaintance; who knew, they might meet at the venue.
With this thought in mind, Huckle Brown entered his tent and went to sleep.
Not far away, Myron Case was also preparing to enter his tent at the same time.
Up to now, he still didn't approve of video games, but he inexplicably came over. Recently, his company had entered a period of stability, and it happened to be a bit idle, so he simply came here to see this carnival.
He thought of learning some marketing ideas from Gamestar Entertainment. Maybe he could gain something.
Although he didn't like video games, his son was very fond of them. He liked to play games developed by Gamestar Entertainment.
Thus, he also made a tent and brought his son with him.
As the owner of a large company, his tent was also relatively spacious.
After he lay down, he casually turned on his tablet computer and browsed some recent market news.
Suddenly, his son, who was lying beside him, said in a low voice, "Dad, look, who is that?"
Myron Case looked up in the direction his son was pointing and saw a figure. At first, he didn't think much of it. He thought it was probably just a player who hadn't gone to bed yet.
But when he looked closely, he was stunned.
It was his rival, Huckle Brown!
It turned out that he also came here.
In his heart, he was both surprised and alert. Could it be that Huckle Brown also came here to seek inspiration?
Myron Case couldn't help but think about it, but he didn't expect that he would be able to meet Huckle Brown here. After all, it was quite a coincidence.
He couldn't help but become more vigilant. He had to be careful not to reveal anything about his company.
Just as he was thinking about this, his son suddenly tugged at his clothes and said, "Dad, did you see it?"
"What did you see?" Myron Case asked in a low voice.
"It's him! The guy who disappeared just now! He's there again!" his son said excitedly.
Myron Case looked up again and saw the figure.
He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Could it be that Huckle Brown had some secret rendezvous?
He couldn't help but become more alert.
At this time, Huckle Brown had already entered his tent and lay down to sleep.
In the tent, Huckle Brown felt a little restless.
He felt as if there was something he had forgotten, but he couldn't remember it clearly.
He couldn't help but toss and turn in his tent, trying to figure out what he had forgotten.
Suddenly, he remembered something, and his eyes widened in shock.
Could it be him?
At this moment, Myron Case was also in his tent, feeling very uneasy.
He felt as if something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
He couldn't help but toss and turn in his tent, trying to figure out what was bothering him.
Suddenly, he remembered something, and his eyes widened in shock.
Could it be him?
At this moment, the two tents were not far apart.
Huckle Brown and Myron Case, two rivals who had never met, were actually in the same tent area.
