Game Development Giant

What surprised Itagaki was that after hearing his words, his schoolmate looked at him with that strange look again, and just a few seconds later, his schoolmate turned crazy. Laughed loudly.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

This made Itagaki a little confused. He didn't understand what was worthy of making people laugh about his question.

His schoolmate kept laughing for more than a minute before he stopped holding his stomach. People around him also looked at him with extremely curious looks, but he just suppressed his smile and waved his hands to indicate that it was nothing. , then he turned to Itagaki and said: "I can solemnly tell you that Nintendo cannot be compared with Jester's Mars Entertainment in the world."

"Is that so?"

Although Itagaki was a little shocked by the other party's answer, he still didn't say anything. He just silently remembered this company, which was much bigger than Nintendo. At this time, he also arrived at the flagship store of Mars Entertainment in Ginza. Opening time.

Itagaki didn't come too early. He arrived before five o'clock. When he arrived, there was already a long queue of two to three hundred people here. And now, there are at least three or four hours waiting behind him. There was also a long and winding queue. He turned his head and took a quick look, but he could only see the heads moving around, but he couldn't see how many people there were at all. "My name is Qing Kino, from the Intelligence College. What's your name?" At this time, the person who had been chatting with him remembered that he had not asked the other party's name.

Hearing the other party asking about himself, Itagaki was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "Itagaki Tomonobu, Law School."

"Studying law!" When the man who called himself Aokino heard Itagaki Tomonobu's answer, he immediately showed a surprised look on his face, because Waseda's law department is very famous. He was able to graduate from Waseda's law department. After graduation, You will definitely be able to receive employment letters from those big companies. Of course, Waseda's information science is also very good.

Continuously moving forward slowly along the queue, Itagaki Tomonobu, who had not even eaten breakfast, felt a little hungry. Before he came, he had never thought that it would be such a scene. With so many people queuing, he originally thought I just came to buy two game cartridges. After buying it, I could go to the library of the University of Tokyo to find some information about my recent thesis. After all, the University of Tokyo was the former Imperial University. Its foundation cannot be compared with Waseda. After shopping, it may take until the afternoon. He needed to catch the train and go back to school immediately, because there was a class of his favorite professor in the evening and he didn't want to miss it. Because this professor is something he likes very much, and he is only a special appointment of the school and only comes to give lectures a few times each semester. I didn't have this class tonight because I really didn't have time.

However, this professor obviously still found time in the evening to come to the university to teach.

"It is said that this time's "Final Fantasy II" is much better than "Dragon Quest II"!" Itagaki Tomonobu, who was thinking about things, kept hearing words like this in his ears, or "Nonsense, "Final Fantasy II" How can "Fantasy" be better than "Dragon Quest"? "Dragon Quest" is the strongest, not even Jester's games can compare to it!", and then there was a sharp retort, "Then why are you still here? Why don't you buy "Final Fantasy"? Go back and play your elementary school game "Dragon Quest"!"...

"Nonsense! Your version of "Final Fantasy" is a primary school student's game!"

Statements like this.

And Aokino was obviously very bored. The only one he was familiar with was Itagaki Tomonobu, so he often turned around to chat with Itagaki Tomonobu.

"What's your favorite game to play?"

After hearing this question, Itagaki Tomonobu was slightly stunned. He was overwhelmed by this question. To be honest, he didn't play many games, or in other words, he didn't play many games at all. He usually liked it the most His favorite thing is gambling, and then sleeping. When he wakes up and has nothing to do, he likes all kinds of miscellaneous books, especially the biographies of some swordsmen from the Warring States Period and the Shogunate Period. He couldn't put it down.

In fact, Itagaki Tomonobu heard his father say that their family was really a samurai family in the past, and his father even showed him a sword passed down by their family.

But when it comes to gaming?

Apart from seeing a few of his friends playing day and night a few times, he rarely came into contact with them. If I had to say, a few years ago, he once played a game called The arcade game "American Cube" is a bit fun, but that's all, because it's too simple. It's almost not difficult to play this game.

At that time, he only played for more than ten minutes and then left out of boredom.

So, when he heard someone ask him this question, Itagaki Tomonobu hesitated for a moment and then said the only game he had ever played: "American Cube."

"What?" After hearing Itagaki Tomonobu's answer, Aokino looked at him strangely again, and he couldn't help but ask aloud: "You like to play "American Cube", but don't you know that it is Jester's work? "

"No." Itagaki Tomonobu shook his head indifferently, "Actually, I don't like playing this game, but this is the only game I have played, but it is boring and too simple."

Hearing Itagaki Tomonobu's words instantly made Aokino a little annoyed, because his favorite game is "American Cube". Although Jester has released many games so far, in terms of playability, Sexy, interesting and scalable, Aokino feels that there is still no game that can compare with "American Cube" because this game is so outstanding.

However, now someone actually said in front of him that this game was boring, which was really intolerable.

And through previous conversations, Aokino discovered that it seems that this person named Itagaki Tomonobu has almost no knowledge of video games. He has never even heard of Jester. But why would such a person come back to buy the game "Final Fantasy II" Cassette.

Aokino didn't even think about whether Itagaki Tomonobu would like "Final Fantasy II", because for a person who didn't even know the basics of video games, he still hoped to let him know about "Final Fantasy", Sakaguchi Hironobu and Jess Special relationship? But just because of this, a question arises, why did he come back and queue up to buy game cartridges?

Moreover, it was the same Shinkansen train he took, and it was a train that departed in the early morning. He didn't believe that a person who had no interest in games would take such a train to Tokyo just to buy game cartridges.

"Oh, this thing, I came here to buy it for a friend, because..." Itagaki Tomonobu didn't say the last words,? He felt a little embarrassed about it. He couldn't say that he lost money in gambling, so he His friends came to buy game cartridges, so that even if he paid off his gambling debt, his friends would exchange the money they lost for him - even though they had already exchanged it for him when he came.

The two of them chatted in a wide range of topics, no longer limited to games. Many of the interesting things about Waseda University were constantly coming out of their mouths.

To outsiders, Itagaki Tomonobu seems to be a very cold person. He seems to be stern and never enters with strangers. In fact, if you get to know him well, you will find that he is a very enthusiastic person. Obviously Aokino's temper is to his liking. As time went by, there were fewer and fewer people in front of them, and finally it was their turn to enter the flagship store of Mars Entertainment in Ginza District.

The decoration inside is very modern and the space is very open, but there are not many things on display, so it does not give people a bloated feeling at first glance. On one side of the hall, there is a row of about seven or eight "Final Fantasy" ii》Trial machine.

This time, "Final Fantasy II" did not provide many trial machines. This was also because the space on site was not large enough. Some of the previous press conferences in Japan that provided hundreds of trial machines were because the exhibition center was rented. Because of the tight release schedule this time, we did not rent a large convention and exhibition center, and the small convention and exhibition center was too stingy to use and only made people laugh. In the end, we simply gave up and sold it directly in our flagship store.

Beside the trial machine, a large group of players gathered, enthusiastically playing this new game that had just been released.

Seeing the same expressions on their faces as those of his friends when playing games, Itagaki Tomonobu knew that these games must be very fun, right? But is it really fun?

"Try it yourself?"

When this idea suddenly popped up in Itagaki Tomonobu's mind, he himself was shocked. He had never been interested in this kind of game before, but after chatting with the classmate named Aokino, he was shocked He couldn't help but be attracted by the other person's view that the video game was the best game in the world. Coupled with the hearing and seeing of his friends, he really became convinced that this game could attract so many players to compete. Purchased the game and generated a little bit of interest.

"Then let's play!"u
