Game Market 1983 - 198 < EP 45

After a few punches and a shout, Negata shows up moments later carrying a model of a much larger NEGA Saturn console.

At that moment, the students who were gathered in the small booth burst into laughter and smiles at his solemn expression.

“I’ll be back, then. ”

“Please. Mr. Negata! You have the future of our Saturn in your hands. ”

“Yes, Yukawa. Leave it to me.”

Negata-san lowers his head slightly, and the NEGA booth attendant nods, smiling with white teeth.

“Huh? That guy? ”

Looking at the event manager, Suzuko, next to a word that I didn’t know, tilted his head and asked me.

“Do you know him? ”

“Well, I don’t know him personally, but he’s quite famous. ”

“Really?”

Yukawa… do you think you’ll become a senior rank now?

Those two people holding hands at the NEGA booth were CF stars representing each other.

As you can see from the Saturn model on his back, Negata Sanshiro uses his name as a pun…

Yukawa was also a full-time publicist, despite being an executive for Saturn’s next generation console, the last console, Illusion Cast.

From the time the Illusion Cast was issued to the time the NEGA gave up its console business, he was one of the few people who truly worked for the NEGA.

After Yukawa pressed the power button on the NEGA Saturn surrounded by Negata Sansiro, splendid music began to flow from a prop she had never known to be a model.

“Heeheehee… was that a juke box? ’

Along with a splendid sound that reminded me of ‘Advance Guard’, a somewhat imperial CF came to mind on various screens installed in the NEGA booth.

Entertained

One man is leaving today.

For those who don’t take it seriously.

I’ll make you realize with my body!!

Negata Sanshiro!!

Negastan Shiro!! (Try NEGA Saturn!!)

“Hiya!! What is that?”

“Did you just kick a flying baseball with a karate kick? ”

“And it was a home run…”

The contents of the CF made by inhaling the pill shook the pupils of the professional institute.

After finishing verse 2, “NEGA Saturn Sea,” a confusion dedicated to gamers in the Japanese Archipelago. The following considerations included Mr. Negata Sansiro’s narration.

Young man, are you seriously obsessed with something?

Is there anything you’re passionate about risking your life for?!

Do the NEGA Saturn.

Till I break my finger!!!

“Hiic… Should I play the game until I starve to death and break my fingers?” ”

… when I was a kid, I used to feel really cool because of my mid-box buff, but after all these years, I can see it in front of my eyes, and it’s just so corny.

I think my fingers will curl up and degrade. However, the boys who were with me in the booth chanted for Negata passing by.

“Mr. Sansiro Negata!! Cheer up!!”

“You are my Mask Rider forever!!! ”

As he ran toward the entrance, he turned around and waved to the students.

“Ouch!! Yes, cheer for me and make sure you do the NEGA Saturn!!! ”

And after a while. Carrying a box of almost a mattress thick NEGA Saturn Juke, he stepped out of the chair and a huge shout started pouring out of the mouths of those waiting for him.

“Woo!! Mask Rider 1!! ”

“Unh!! What is that? ”

“Guys!! NEGA Saturn!! ”

He lowers the giant Saturn pad, which is connected together to the juke box, and starts joyfully slapping the controller’s button with the bottom scream.

Those who were bored waiting to enter the venue began cheering and cheering for NEGA.

“Ouch!! I can feel my spirit!! ”

Ugh… That’s enough. Tell me honestly. As he performs, his hands and feet deteriorate. I sighed a little as I looked at the external relay camera installed in the event booth of the NEGA.

‘Why did that look so cool when I was a kid…? Has the calibration effect on your memories gone a little too far? ’

After briefly explaining the conference schedule to Suzuko, I had a moment to recall some of the Japanese CF’s that I used to enjoy.

“Oh, and CF Fantasy Beverage was so much fun…”

Although the gag code was a little different from Korea’s, some of the CF’s that were viewed as children remained the most impressive. Suddenly, I remembered an old memory, and I returned to the Pentagon booth with a bleeding smile.

&

An hour later.

As the alarm sounded throughout the venue, visitors started pouring in from six entrances.

“Where’s the Pentagon Booth?! ”

“What do you mean, we have to get to the first place where the conference is taking place!! Sensoni… to Sensoni’s Booth!! ”

“Wow, that’s a lot of size. That’s a different level than CES for a professional gaming fair.”

Visitors entered the venue each with a happy smile, admiring the size of the Tokyo game show.

If the expo showed the future science of humanity to the public, then the game show would be the first place gamers would go to show all the game information that would be released in the future.

Before the event began, the quiet exhibition hall began to fill up with spectators from all over without even an instant gap in validity.

“When I was in middle school, I used to wish I could come to this Tokyo game show…”

However, I didn’t have enough excitement when I heard the name, so I was preparing for the conference in the afternoon, so it felt strange.

As soon as the exhibition took place, gamers who visited Pentagon Soft were disappointed and excited at the same time, looking at the Pentagon area covered with white curtains until 1 pm at the conference.

“Ah, I came to see the Dragon Emblem. It’s not time yet…”

You hear Kaori and Miyazaki’s voice on the side of the Raon terminal installed near the Pentagon booth.

“Virgil Idol. Please use this handset if you would like to use the Tokyo Gameshow Limited Costume. ”

“Ahhh!! That’s right, Virtual Idol. You had a special costume!? ”

“Let’s take it in advance before the conference starts. If the lines get longer later, it’s going to take a lot longer. ”

The reason why users don’t end up at a Pentagon event that hasn’t started any events…

It was thanks to the limited time special costume of the Virtual Idol Heroes.

He also gifted a badge, one of the Goods items of idol, to visitors who had visited in advance, and occasionally saw users lining up several times to get all four heroes.

I looked at the staff helping me run the event until the formal conference, then put on my white hat and walked to Sensoni’s booth.

On the way to Sensoni’s booth, there were several third-party companies, and even though I wanted to take a quick look around, there were so many visitors that I was drawn to the event by people heading to Sensoni’s booth.

“Wow!! Iron Fist 2!! ”

The main game of the Gear Station, which is highly acclaimed by gamers with powerful 3D graphics, was, of course, the ‘Iron Fist’.

At the time of its initial release, the Iron Fist was evaluated as a real fighter’s subterfuge, but as it repeated the second series, it showed no regrets about its unique system.

10 stage combos that are available in order for beginners, including pleasant air combos. Characters that look about twice as unique as real fighters…

Although the overall graphics did not fall below the realfighter, this time the ‘Iron Fist 2’, which was implanted into a gear station, was fitted with a variety of modes that could be considered a faux transcendental implant.

In addition, the arcade version complemented the story mode, which was somewhat poor, and inserted prologs and end-videos of all characters to bring cheer to the users.

“Excellent!! ”

“Isn’t it wonderful? I find Iron Fist easier and more fun than a real fighter. ”

“Right? I’m not joking about putting a set of air combos in the right place. ”

I felt the thought as I stroked my chin with the acclaim of the overheard users.

RPGs and girl games are great, but there’s nothing like a fight game to entertain your friends when they come to play…

Then I heard the voices of users who were a little annoyed behind my back.

“Why don’t you go ahead? ”

“Yes?”

“Let’s go quickly. ”

Huh? What is it?

Turning back to their complaints, they were standing in front of a demonstration device that was pushed by people. The student holding the gray pad next to me made eye contact, and I held the pad in front of me for as long as I could.

Can I play with you for a second? ’

As I looked at the screen with my hands around the pad, I noticed a lot of fighters. The student next to me chose Kazuya as soon as the character screen appeared, and I momentarily thought about the main character in my old memory and chose Baekdu San, a Korean character.

“Round 1!! ”

Phew!!!

From the start, Kazuka’s joyful digging distance is separated from his opponent by the distance he travels.

Baekwondo Mountain, which uses Taekwondo technology, was not part of the strong axis in the Iron Fist series, but was an exclusive character with the spectacular Taekwondo staff, Eizzaida and Flamango, which distract others.

‘But it’s been a long time? Why is it so hard to play? ’

It feels like my thumb is stiff.

But you used to have a skill in the arcade. Is it going to collapse like this?

After handing over one round of Kazumi’s relentlessly dug attacks to me, I found the problem of my play in the next two rounds.

‘Oh, right. This is not how you play. ’

At that moment, my right hand, which was wrapped around the pad, spread two fingers over the button like an artisan making sushi.

“Huh? He’s a bit of a padded rat. ”

There were a lot of voices coming from behind, and I started playing skillfully with my two fingers. As time went on, I remembered the forgotten technology and even the axial movement that adds flamingo during the crossing, and I won two games in a row.

“If it were a gallery, I would have stepped on it more easily.”

I throw a bloodsucking smile at the disassembling opponent and walk away from the demonstration.

At that moment, a beautiful woman, represented by computer graphics, came to mind in a huge screen set up in the booth with a cry to announce a new piece for the Gear Station.

And then there’s the intense sound of braking.

Yuck, yuck!!

In the form of a sports car sliding into a huge hairpin corner from the exit course, users gathered in front of the Sensoni booth were staring at the screen with a blank look.

In this era of gaming, CG videos were used a lot to complement the lack of polygon expression, but beautiful women appearing on the screen were also CG videos, not polygons.

Her name, which caught the eye of users in racing girl outfits for the motor show, began to flow from the mouths of users gathered at Sensoni’s booth in the delightful drift scene of the ‘Rage Driver 4’, known as the all-time opening, among many games launched as the ‘Nagase Lako’ Gear Station.

‘Ha… I can’t believe I’m seeing that opening again. Memories… “
