Game Market 1983

In 1991, there was a voice that resounded in every place in the alley where the children were running.

And it was not only in Japan but also in Korea when I was a child.

“Hadogen!! ”

“Saureuken!! ”

“Tatsumaki Sendungak!! ”

(In other words, Atatagen, this has a different name for each region.) ‘Street Fire2’ was one of the most powerful titles in the game center.

When you play the game by yourself, someone puts a coin in a fight on the opposite machine.

And the tension of the three-way two-time contest begins, and the winner and the loser are left speechless.

This simple, crisp way of fighting was the boss' favorite game to run the game center, thanks to the higher coin collection rate than other games.

I was able to loosen the delay of the unfamiliar special command in 1 and pick up eight characters that were individually different from the ones that had to be chosen only by Ryu and Ken.

In addition, a mid-bonus stage with relaxing elements such as vehicle breakers and log breakers and the appearance of a boss class character called the Four Kings, in addition to a playable character, was a good response for users.

And it was the chance of a prodigy to move on to Raon with such a great title.

“Hey!! I just saw on Pammy Communications today that Street Fires 2 is out with Raon in August! ”

“Really!? ”

When I visited Tamago Shop in Akiba, I could hear the voices of people coming from inside the store. Oh, by the way, today was the issue of the magazine...

“So you can play Spa 2 with a portable game? ”

“And is that a communication cable? If you plug it in, there's two of you, like the Tamago Battle. ”

“Wow, that would ruin the playroom.”

The children's conversations made me smile unconsciously.

Of course, as they say, even if it could have some influence on the arcade market, it would not have been enough to be devastated by just one Spa 2.

Since '91, arcade centers have begun to pour out so many great games that they can be called the‘ Battle of War Era 'that Spa 2 was considered to be a monumental title for the formation of an era.

But soon, in SMK, "Samurai's Fighting Spirit" or "The Legend of the Eagle" or "Dragon Warrior."

The game market will be more active as more horrifying fighting games will spill out like this…

Specifically, SMK was quite cruel in the description of the fighting game, and many of the tricks that caused sensation in the fighting game world were released as a result of the character's dismemberment when he finished with a river slash in Samurai's soul.

That effect continued in the dragon kingdom, and when I finished with a special finish, I swallowed a mourning smile that reminded me of the last time I tried to end with a monarchy because of the choreography that tore women's clothes.

And then suddenly, over the course of 83 years, this moment of encounter with memories...

Anyway, Raon's release of Spa 2 was a title enough to amplify the expectations of new consoles for users.

"If Final Frontier 4 and Spa 2, the great fighting game, were launched, there would be no better start for Laon."

No... it's actually the best lineup.

I enjoy RPGs on an epic scale such as the Final Frontier, and when I'm tired, I swap cartridges to enjoy fighting games.

Fighting games, such as spas, also have the advantage of fighting against other people, so you can enjoy fighting games with your friends anytime, anywhere.

In addition, since we are also ready to play a cross-scrolling action game called Final Fight 89, Capco has greatly widened the genre for users to choose from.

The most surprising thing about the day I first met the super family at a very wealthy friend's house when I was young was that I could play Spa 2 at home, where I could only play in the arcade.

Although Capco's performance was higher than the arcade substrate used, the character's deterioration and frame felt a bit stiff, but what was going on on on TV was undoubtedly a Street Fire.

But now that I can enjoy that street fire in a little portable game, even I, who created a console called Raon, can't wait.

Then Miyazaki, who came into the office with the payment documents, asked me.

“So, sir, next month we'll have Tamago at Street Fire?" I've been looking at magazines today and I can't stop asking my customers... ”

“Yes, exactly. I will be arriving on March 27th. Oh, and for the Thamago Collectors, please vacate one vending machine so that it can be sold exclusively to Street Fire for five days. ”

“Yes!! I understand.”

Tamago-san has access to street fire characters painted in 2D...

Once this alone, the revenue for the Tamago prize is expected to increase explosively.

Earlier in the production announcement, the next generation of Raon officially announced that he would not receive a royalty for the Rom cartridge produced by the Third Party.

Then Kawaguchi expressions that he couldn't understand my decision.

It wasn't because we were in charity, but because reducing the portion of the royalty we could earn from third parties made it difficult to extract production costs for the console.

Of course, the game shop was receiving a certain amount of royalty for downloading using flash memory cartridges, but that alone was not enough to generate a large revenue.

It was Tamago-san who appeared there as a diversion.

Third parties launching the game for Raon were able to register their collaboration with Tamago monsters as‘ optional ’, and they did not have to pay for Loyalty in the Rom Cartridge as a condition of collaborating with their character.

Thanks to this, the Pentagon was able to increase Tamago-san's profits, and the Third Parties were able to earn additional profits in addition to their character's promotional effects.

Of course, this was not mandatory, so you could reject the collage offer, but in that case you would have to pay Loyalty in Lom Cartridge instead.

In the case of CAPCO, we initially wondered about the conditions we presented, but we added a detailed explanation and had a very positive reaction.

The lack of royalty in the Rom Cartridge is enough, as they have nothing to lose by using the Thamago prize to cover additional profits.

‘They think Tamago-san is just a toy device that children play with, but if we put together these various characters, maybe one day we can create a new type of battle game? For example, a game in the style of Battle vs. Brawl where thousands of characters get tangled up in one place. Isn't it exciting to imagine the characters of Street Fire and Dragon Emblem battling in the same space? ’

I signed the paperwork that Miyazaki gave me and returned it to her.

Then she asked me.

“But, sir, How is Mr. Uchimura these days? He hasn't been to the shops since he became a champion at the Tamago Monster Games last year. ”

“Ah, Uchimura joined our Pentagon software last month as a wealth. But they're assigned to a special department, so they don't come out very well for the company. ”

“Yes? What department is that? ”

“We're doing a wonderful job of saving Uchimura's specialty. ”

Miyazaki tilted his head to my smile for a moment.

Uchimu won the Tamago Monster Competition at the end of last year.

Uchimura, who had worked hard to raise the dragon emblem he accidentally acquired, won a Gear Entrance Ticket during the defending weekend and got a hot response before the champion.

The characters he extracted from the championship were still in the mouths of the users.

Every monster that pulled out the High Priestess Katrina, Firefighter Mirea, and Noctis in the palace was a super-freaking super-rare character.

Took three heroes out of Tamago, a tricky dragon emblem, and even I was amazed when I watched the competition.

The winner of the competition, Uchimu, became the first person to donate monsters to the Tamago Monster Sharing Machine with a 500,000 yen prize.

A sharing machine for Tamago monsters.

They were able to donate and distribute their Tamagos during certain event periods or at certain tournament victories, exchanging them for gift certificates that can be used in the Tamagos Shop depending on the monster's rarity.

Donated monsters can be redistributed to five people through monster sharers, which can be obtained using cash or gift certificates.

In other words, even those without dragon emblems, tamanas, or tamagos on the Final Frontier, can be fed new monsters as much as they want through monster sharers.

The data-driven monsters were easily available at 200 yen for sharing machines.

Coins showed the monsters currently in possession of the device on the monster sharer screen, and players were able to get one of the five monsters at random by selecting the five monsters they wanted and pressing the Share button.

I often used monster sharers a lot when I was stressed out about raising Tamago monsters, or when it was hard for friends to share data.

“By the way, it's Valentine's Day already. ”

“I see. I'm especially excited about Valentine's Day this year. Kick Kick”

“Looking forward to it, Miyazaki is also a sneaky devil. ”

“It's a special experience for users who have come to buy titles. ”

Yeah, I guess so. In Miyazaki's reply, I smiled face to face.

&

“Take the chocolate!”

“Valentine's Day Chocolate!”

“I didn't make it with all my heart! Take the chocolate, anyway!”

A smile came out of Kaori's comment about handing chocolates to the guests.

“What are you talking about? Anyway, take the chocolate. And they're attached to the four tribes.”

“Huh? Sir, when did you get here? ”

“Just now.”

I answered her question, gazing at the purchase procession, stretching out to the back of Kaori.

Today is February 14th.

It's a blessed day for lovers, but for gamers it's only the launch day of a new game.

I mean, I've seen women in queues, but it's sad to see most of them are men...

“We're going to start the event soon, so dress up quickly. ”

“All I have to do is wear a cape. It's a vampire concept."

“So it's hanging upside down in the air? Like a bat.

“ ……. ”

“I'm just kidding! Hahaha”

“Where is Hayashi? ”

“If you're the captain, you should already be in zombie costume!”

Kaori replied, and I turned my head with a bloody smile.

Today is Valentine's Day, the first superfamily horror game.

The long march has cut the line to 500 people today.

Valentine's Day launched simultaneously in gaming shops around him, so he could shop in any shop in 10 minutes.

Hmm? But why are these people doing this?

They've come to challenge me to buy a special limited edition...

This Valentine's Day conception is a haunted house!
