Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Prices there range from 7,000 yen to 50,000 yen depending on the location.

The ticket revenue alone has already exceeded one billion yen, which is the revenue from several days of event tickets.

In addition to event tickets, many other merchandise items sold out quickly.

If the money I've earned these past few days continues, I might be able to earn back all the money I've spent.

It's like the players crowdfunded a grand carnival event.

In the final few days, players eagerly awaited their return.

Hotels and apartments in the Tokyo area that were close to the carnival venue were immediately packed with people.

No one can accurately estimate how many players will participate this time, not even Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Even at night, Tokyo is still bustling with activity.

Many locals even feel as if they have returned to the golden age before the bubble burst.

They were even moved to tears and didn't know what to say for a moment.

I really miss the days before the bubble burst.

You can see many players gathered together on the streets and alleys. Some are exchanging tips about the game, while others are exchanging their rare Pokémon. This also proves the dominance of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

……

The next day, February 28th, is the last day of February.

Tomorrow is the opening day of the carnival.

The players' enthusiasm reached its peak on this day, and they made full use of their previous queuing skills, setting up tents right at the main entrance of the venue, ready to rush into the carnival venue early the next morning.

This created a unique scene, with colorful tents set up around the entrance of the venue, while people gathered in twos and threes or larger groups to play games together.

It's really great to have so many like-minded people playing games together.

At this moment, video games bring everyone together without barriers; everyone is here for one thing only: to have fun.

Here, all you need to do is be happy.

March 1st has arrived.

Then, at midnight on March 1st, when many players were still gathered in twos and threes playing games, a series of booming sounds suddenly began to emanate from the direction of the venue.

People looked up in surprise in the direction of the sound, and then they saw a scene at the bottom of the valley that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

It was a fireworks display, accompanied by rousing music that got your blood pumping.

The carnival started without warning in the middle of the night, catching all the players off guard.

Chapter 477 Myron Keyes's Deep Thoughts

Normally, a game launch event should ideally take place during the daytime of the same day.

However, as a carnival, it doesn't seem necessary to follow the rules so strictly.

At the stroke of midnight on March 1st, dazzling fireworks simultaneously lit up the stadium and the carnival grounds.

Countless players witnessed this scene firsthand.

They all looked up, their eyes wide open.

The fireworks show begins with a very familiar melody, the most classic and original track from Super Mario.

Players also like to refer to the game start sound effect in Super Mario Bros. 1 as "The Beginning of the Game".

Accompanied by a variation of Mario music, the familiar big-nosed Mario first emerged from the stadium's main area through fireworks, and then bursts of fireworks simulated Mario's jumping movements as he hopped step by step to the carnival's main area.

On the roof of the carnival venue, there are two very eye-catching numbers.

10

This marks the 10th anniversary of Yusei Electronic Entertainment.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has been on a meteoric rise for the past ten years, becoming a sacred place in the hearts of countless people.

The fireworks display depicted Mario moving below the number 10.

Then he leaped with all his might, and the firework representing the number 10 disappeared with a crisp impact sound.

Wow! What an amazing fireworks show!

"Wait, wait, wait, what did I miss? Why did the fireworks show suddenly happen?!"

"Idiot, you probably don't know this at all. It's said that ten years ago, Yuxing Electronics Entertainment's first game, Super Mario, and their first game console were also completed in the early morning. So naturally, this time is also very memorable!"

"What? There's such a legend? I had no idea."

"A legend is more authentic when fewer people know about it, isn't it?"

As soon as the fireworks ended, people began to discuss it enthusiastically. Some people who were already sleepy were now fully awake.

At this time, many people don't actually have the idea of ​​sleeping at all. Even in the early hours of the morning, many people still gather together to play games, creating a very spectacular scene.

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

These tents represent groups of die-hard fans of Yusei Electronic Entertainment, who are now filled with anticipation.

With eight hours to go, countless people may find themselves unable to sleep tonight; at least many of the players who dared to pitch tents in front of the venue certainly won't be able to sleep.

But for the sake of their favorite games, they didn't care at all.

They are also very young, and each of them is full of energy, so staying up all night is no problem for them.

The entire tent area was bustling with activity in the middle of the night. The players' enthusiasm showed no signs of waning, and even though it was still a bit chilly in Japan, it didn't stop them from interacting and playing together.

Among these people, there were a few very special individuals who had also infiltrated the group.

One of them is Hack Brown.

He was filled with emotion at that moment.

As expected of the most influential video game company, Yuxing Electronics Entertainment has repeatedly expressed its desire to surpass Yuxing Electronics Entertainment, but this has proven to be an insurmountable obstacle.

However, he was also lucky. After being laid off from the company he originally founded, he dared to change the tradition of American game development, allowing his team to persevere and carve out their own niche.

Today, he also has a well-known shooting game series and online role-playing game works.

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

However, it still can't compare to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Even he himself is now a supporter of Yusei Electronics. He has many Yusei Electronics games at home, and he believes that Yusei Electronics is the best. There's really no way around it.

Watching the fireworks end and the countdown screen light up, he figured there probably wouldn't be any more events tonight. After all, the players needed to rest and prepare for tomorrow; at least someone his age couldn't stay up any longer.

However, just as he was about to crawl into the tent, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure not far away.

The figure seemed somewhat familiar, but since it was only a fleeting glance, he only vaguely recognized it. By the time he tried to get a closer look at the person in that direction, the person had already vanished.

Perhaps it's someone I know; I might even have a chance to meet them at the event.

With that thought in mind, Huck Brown went into his tent to sleep.

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

He still doesn't approve of video games, but he still came here on a whim. Recently, his company has been on the right track, and he happened to have some free time, so he decided to come and see this carnival.

He was thinking of learning from Zhuyouxing's marketing ideas, hoping to gain something from them.

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

"Hey sir, are you a player too?"

Just then, a boy's voice, speaking in slightly broken English, struck up a conversation with Myron Keyes.

Myron Keys, who was just about to close the tent zipper, looked out curiously and found a boy of about fifteen or sixteen.

The child was a Japanese boy, holding a GSL handheld console, looking at Myron Case with a curious expression.

"Why do you ask that?" Myron Case countered.

"Uncle, you look to be in your forties. It's really rare to see a foreigner in their forties who is willing to come and pitch a tent to participate in a carnival. I happen to be learning English recently, so I'd like to chat with you. I wonder if that's alright?"

Myron Case thought for a moment, then nodded and reopened the tent zipper, saying, "Sure, shall we come in?"

The boy happily replied, "Okay."

After saying that, he took the handheld console and went into Myron Case's tent.

Myron Case is now quite well-known in the United States.

His portable music devices are selling rapidly in the United States, and he also plans to expand his sales channels in Japan.

If possible, it would be even better if we could also take away the market share of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Of course, at least for now, it still seems like a pipe dream.

He's famous in the US, but he's rather unremarkable here. Only his foreign face can catch people's eye, but few people recognize him.

Moreover, even if you know him, you're only slightly surprised to have met someone with some fame; an entrepreneur like him certainly isn't as appealing as a celebrity.

"Uncle, do you like playing games? Want to play Pokémon for a while? I have a very rare Pokémon, want to trade?"

"Pokémon? I don't play that much."

"Oh, that's a shame. It's such a fun game, I play it almost every day."

Myron Case's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Your English is very good. I'm curious about your opinion on video games. Do you think they're fun?"

The boy nodded vigorously: "Of course it's fun! If it weren't fun, why would I come here to set up a tent and wait for the carnival? This carnival feels as exciting as the New Year."

"Could you elaborate on what makes these things so fun?"

The boy looked at the foreign man with a puzzled expression, then honestly replied, "I can't really explain it, but it's just interesting."

Myron Case doesn't approve of video games, but he has to admit that they are indeed very profitable. He has spent a lot of money on hardware and system development, so he needs to find something to make money from.

Music players were one of his ways to make money, but it was still too slow.

Asking a child what makes a game fun is really a bit silly, Myron Keyes shook his head and gave up on asking that question.

"Uncle, what games do you like to play? I play all kinds of games, we can play together now."

Myron Case thought for a moment and then said, "Tetris, I think that's more interesting."
