Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 478 Thoughts by Myron Keys

Chapter 478 Myron Keyes’ Thoughts

 Normally speaking, a game launch conference should actually open during the daytime of the day.

But as a carnival, it seems that there is no need to follow the rules.

The moment the bell rang at midnight on March 1st, the stadium and carnival venue burst into dazzling fireworks at the same time.

Countless players witnessed this scene with their own eyes.

They all raised their heads, their eyes widened.

The firework show starts with the most familiar melody, which is the most classic track of Super Mario and the original track.

 Players also like to call the game starting sound effect in Super Mario 1 the beginning of the game.

Accompanied by a variation of Mario music, the familiar big-nosed Mario first emerged from the stadium through fireworks, and then a puff of fireworks simulated Mario's jumping movements, jumping step by step to the carnival venue. aside.

 On the top of the carnival venue, there are two very conspicuous numbers.

  10

 This represents the tenth anniversary of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

 Youxing Electronic Entertainment has been making rapid progress for almost ten years and has become sacred in the hearts of countless people.

Mario, shown by the fireworks, also came under the number 10 at this time.

 Then he jumped hard, and the fireworks belonging to 10 disappeared with the crisp impact sound effect.

 “Wow! What a great firework show!”

“Wait a minute, what did I miss? Why was the fireworks show so sudden?”

"Idiot, I'm afraid you don't know at all. Ten years ago, it was said that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's first game Super Mario and the first game console were also completed in the early morning, so naturally this time is also very memorable! "

 “What? Does this legend still exist? I don’t know about it at all.”

“Of course the fewer people know about the legend, the more true it is, right?”

When the fireworks ended, people immediately started talking enthusiastically. Some people were already a little sleepy, but now they are fully energetic.

At this time, many people actually have no idea of ​​sleeping at all. Even in the early morning, there are still many people gathering together to play games, and the scene is very spectacular.

 Then the large screen at the entrance of the venue lit up, illuminating the large square in front of it, and many small tents became unique embellishments.

These tents represent a group of the most die-hard Youxing Electronic Entertainment fans, who now only have full expectations.

There are still eight hours left, and I don’t know how many people may not be able to sleep tonight, at least many players who dare to set up tents in front of the venue will certainly not be able to sleep.

 But for the games they love, they don’t care at all.

At the same time, they are all very young and full of energy, so there is no problem in staying up all night.

  The entire tent area was very lively in the middle of the night, and the enthusiasm of the players has not diminished at all. Even though Japan is still a little chilly, it has not stopped these players from interacting with each other.

 Among these crowds, there are a few very special people mixed in.

 One of them is Huck Brown.

 At this time, he was very emotional.

  Youxing Electronic Entertainment is indeed the most influential video game company. He has had the idea of ​​surpassing Youxing Electronic Entertainment several times, but it is as insurmountable as a mountain.

But he was lucky. After being fired from the company he originally founded, he had the courage to change the tradition of American game development, let his team of people persevere, and also broke into a world of his own.

Now he also has a well-known shooting game series and online role-playing game under his belt.

 These two works have now become his company's most important cash flow.

 However, there is still no way to compare with Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

 Even he himself is now a supporter of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. He has many games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment at home. He himself believes that Youxing Electronic Entertainment is the best. There is really nothing he can do about it.

Watching the fireworks end and the countdown screen lighting up, he felt that there wouldn't be any extra programs tonight. After all, the players still had to have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow, at least for someone as old as him. People can no longer bear it.

But just as he was about to get into the tent, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure not far away.

That figure was slightly familiar, but because it was just a quick glance, he only felt familiar. When he wanted to take a closer look at the person in that direction, the person had disappeared.

Perhaps he is an acquaintance. Maybe there will be a chance to meet at the venue.

With this thought in mind, Huck Brown entered his tent and went to sleep.

Not far away, Myron Keyes was also preparing to get into the tent at the same time.

Up to now, he still doesn't approve of video games, but he still came here by accident. Recently, his company is on track and it happens to be relatively free, so he just came here to take a look at this carnival.

 What he wanted to do was to learn Zhuyouxing’s marketing ideas, and if he didn’t do well, he would gain something.

Although he couldn't explain why he had to come here, there was no need to come in person to learn marketing ideas.

 “Hey uncle, are you a player too?”

At this moment, a young man’s voice took the initiative to chat with Myron Keyes in slightly jerky English.

Myron Keys, who was about to close the zipper of the tent, looked outside curiously and found a child in his fifteenth or sixteenth year.

This child is a Japanese teenager, holding a GSL handheld player in his hand, looking at Myron Keys with a curious expression.

 “Why do you ask?” Myron Keys asked.

"Uncle, you look to be in your forties. It's really rare that foreigners in their forties are willing to come over and set up tents to participate in the carnival. I happen to be learning English recently, so I want to communicate with you, no. Do you know if it’s possible?”

Myron Keys thought for a moment, then nodded and reopened the zipper of the tent and said, "Okay, do you want to come in?"

 The young man said happily: "Okay."

 After saying that, he got into Myron Keith’s tent with the handheld camera in hand.

Myron Keys is now quite famous in the United States.

His portable music equipment is selling rapidly in the United States, and he is also planning to expand new sales in Japan.

If possible, it would be even better if it could take away the market from Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Of course, at least for now, it seems a bit fanciful.

He is famous in the United States, but he seems relatively unremarkable here. Only his foreign face can make people look at him twice, but few people know him.

And even if I knew him, I was only slightly surprised that I could meet someone who was somewhat famous. Entrepreneurs like him are definitely not as attractive as celebrities.

“Uncle, do you like playing games? Do you want to play Pokémon together for a while? I have a very rare Pokémon, do you want to exchange it?”

 “Pokémon? I don’t play this very much.”

“Oh, that’s a shame, it’s a really fun game, I play it almost every day.”

Myron Keys was moved in his mind and asked: "Your English is very good. I'm curious about your views on video games. Do you think this thing is fun?"

The young man nodded vigorously: "Of course it's fun. If it wasn't fun, why would I come here to set up a tent and wait for the carnival? I feel like this carnival is as exciting as the New Year."

“Can you tell me specifically what’s so fun about these things?”

The young man glanced at the foreign uncle in confusion, and then replied honestly: "I can't tell, anyway, it's interesting."

Myron Keys does not approve of video games, but he must admit that video games are indeed very profitable. He currently spends a lot of money on the development of hardware and systems, so he must find something that makes money.

Music players are one of the directions for him to make money, but it is still too slow.

　　It’s a bit silly to ask a child what’s so fun about a game. Myron Keys couldn’t help but shake his head and gave up asking such questions.

“Uncle, what games do you like to play? I play all the games. We can play together now.”

Myron Keys thought for a while and then said: "Tetris, this is what I think is more interesting."

Tetris is probably the only video game that Myron Keys recognizes. His highest record is level 14. He is also a loyal Tetris player. He has also considered moving the game to his new device. superior.

  But the copyright and gameplay of this game are all in the hands of Zhu Youxing, which is very regrettable for him.

"Ah? That old antique game. Sure enough, people like uncle are not very fashionable. Are there no other games to play?"

 The young man asked slightly disappointed.

“No more, I only play this one now.” Myron Keys shook his head.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to listen to your conversation.”

At this moment, a new voice came from outside the tent, and then the man opened the zipper and stuck his head out very familiarly.

“Were you discussing the Tetris game just now?”

This man is also a foreigner. His English has a very strong London accent. He should probably be a player from the United Kingdom. He has brown eyes and dark gray hair, and is about 20 to 30 years old.

Myron Keys was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "That's right."

“I’m also a fan of Tetris. We’ve been having a great chat. Can I come in and chat?”

"certainly."

Myron Keys didn’t take no for an answer.

This person simply unzipped all the zippers and got in directly.

 At this time, the young man also looked at the two foreigners curiously and did not speak for a while.

“Sir, what is your current Tetris level?”

Myron Keys replied: "Looking like level 14, what's wrong?"

“Oh, this is really a good level, so obviously you should be a real Tetris fan. In fact, I think Tetris is a very well-designed game, and there are almost no shortcomings.”

Myron Keys is interested. This person seems to be a person who has studied the game very deeply, so maybe we can get some interesting information from this person.

“Are you a game developer?” Myron Keyes asked, “Because it sounds like you have a very deep research on games.”

“Me? No, no, no, my profession is boring. I just simply like the game Tetris, and I think this game is impeccable. It’s not an exaggeration to call it the best game.”

“Hey, hey, I totally disagree with this!”

As soon as the British-accented man finished speaking, another voice sounded outside the tent, using another slightly weird and emphasized English.

This man also has a Western appearance, but he seems to be a bit mixed-race. He said outside the tent: "I feel that the best game should be Final Fantasy 7. This is the best of all games."

“That’s just your opinion, but I still think Tetris is better.”

“You obviously have no aesthetic sense. Come on, let me tell you about Final Fantasy 7. I can definitely convince you!”

 After a while, Myron Keys, who had originally planned to take a rest, found that more and more people were gathering around him.

These guys seemed to come from all over the world, communicating in English with various strange accents, and arguing with each other about what the best video games were.

 “It’s really interesting.”

"What?"

Myron Keys turned his head and saw the child sitting next to him.

This kid hasn't said anything since the guy with a British accent came in, and it was only now that he suddenly said something really interesting, and he suddenly became confused.

"Uncle, you see they are arguing so fiercely, but they are all talking about games from Youxing Electronic Entertainment. So I think if there is any game that is the most fun, it is that the games created by Youxing Electronic Entertainment are the most fun. Fun."

 This is a very pure idea, and it has even formed a stress response. As long as it is a game from Youxing Electronic Entertainment, you can believe it unconditionally.

Myron Keys was silent for a while.

This kid is right, this is also the terrifying thing about Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

 Myron Keys is not afraid of any competition from his peers in the electronics industry at all, because he is confident that he can defeat them through his own talent. This is his absolute confidence.

He really feels threatened, and there are some helpless opponents from another industry. A person who can shake the trends of other industries with just one person is really scary.

 Looking at the fierce quarrel between those people at this moment, they came from all over the world, Myron Keys seemed to have thought of something.

If...your own products can also cause people from all over the world to have such fierce arguments, then the exchanges between different cultures will also create more sparks, right?

How did this Bamboo Youxing do it? How did he conquer people all over the world with his works?

Myron Keyes fell into deep thinking. He seemed to vaguely feel that he had grasped some key points. Maybe he could get the answer he wanted as long as he worked harder.

 Then, with this kind of thinking, he simply fell into insomnia.

The young man lay directly next to Myron Keyes with great peace of mind and gradually fell asleep until seven o'clock in the morning.

“Little guy, the carnival is about to begin, so pack up and get ready to join the carnival. You must have been looking forward to it for a long time.”

Seeing that it was completely light outside, he found that the quarrel between the guys hadn't ended yet.

Some of these people simply go to rest when they get tired of arguing, and then others join the ring and continue arguing about the best video games.

  But just like what the child said, to put it bluntly, they are all discussing the games of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and basically no other games. This is enough to show the overwhelming advantage of Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the video game industry.

Of course, people who don’t like Youxing Electronic Entertainment probably won’t come here. Those who can set up tents here and wait for the opening are definitely die-hard fans.

The young man also rubbed his eyes at this time, still a little dazed, but he soon became energetic, his eyes were wide open, and he looked outside with expectation.

At this time, there were already crowds of people outside heading towards the entrance. The opening ceremony of the carnival was at eight o'clock, and according to the time plan, the doors would open and let people in around seven twenty.

“Uncle, let’s go together.”

 “Where are your parents?” Myron Keys asked curiously.

“They don’t care about me, they just give me money and let me do whatever I want.”

 “Okay, just stay with me and don’t run around.”

"Uh-huh!"
