Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Wen Tai grimaced and quickly stood up. After getting the money from his mother to buy soy sauce, he ran out in a flash.

The mother shook her head helplessly, glanced at the TV screen one last time, and said nothing.

About half an hour later, her husband came home from get off work.

"I'm home, honey."

"Ah, my husband is home. Please wait in the living room for a moment. Dinner will be ready soon."

The husband nodded and then went to the living room.

"Huh? Who's playing Mario?"

"It's Bunta."

"Oh, that kid." The husband realized, but didn't think much of it. Instead, he sat down at the table and prepared to take out a drink.

However, he would still glance at the game screen on the TV from time to time.

In the end, he couldn't resist the urge to play and went over to pick up the controller to start playing Mario.

Not long after, Bunta brought home some soy sauce. As soon as he put the soy sauce in the kitchen, he couldn't wait to go back to the living room to play Mario again.

However, as soon as he returned to the living room, he saw his father playing the same game he was playing.

"Dad! Why are you taking my game?!"

A voice filled with dissatisfaction came from the living room.

"Play a little longer, play a little longer, don't rush the child."

……

"Look at you! Dad, you're such a weakling! You died even to a small elite monster. You really shouldn't be playing my Mario game. Don't you have a game console? Didn't you say the console was mine?"

"Hehe, I'm itching to play, aren't I? Come on, I've just used up all my lives, how about we play some other games together, like some cooperative games?"

"Really, Dad? It's been so long since we played together."

When Wentai heard that his father wanted to play games with him, he immediately became happy.

"Of course, you're my precious child, so I definitely want to make you happy."

"Long live Dad!"

In the kitchen, the wife wore a warm smile; this family seemed quite nice.

Both parents used to enjoy games, and they are very forgiving of their children.

In this tolerant state, Bunta did not become completely addicted to video games, but was very good at balancing gaming with daily life.

Moreover, video games can sometimes enhance the bond between parents and children.

Not long after, the sound of fighting came from the living room; it was the voice of Street Fighter.

In the wife's eyes, her husband and child have now become little boys, with only video games on their minds.

She had already prepared the meal and brought it to the living room.

However, she didn't rush to urge the two of them; she simply reminded them that the food was ready.

"Ha! Dad, you're such a weakling! You can't even beat a kid like me!"

Not long after, Bunta successfully defeated his father's fighting team and won the victory.

Bunta's father blushed, then said stiffly, "One more plate, please."

"Hehe, no matter how many rounds we play, it won't matter, I'm definitely the strongest!"

……

A few minutes later, Wen Tai won again. He swaggered around in front of his father with the air of a victor, which was very sarcastic.

The husband tried his best to calm himself down.

Calm down. This is your own child. You can't just get angry and spank him because he lost a game.

But this kid really deserves a beating.

"Alright, it's time to eat," his wife gently urged.

"Wait a little longer." The husband gritted his teeth, then picked up the controller again and said, "Let's play one more game. I don't believe I can't even beat a little kid."

……

A few more minutes passed, and unsurprisingly, the husband lost again.

These types of fighting games require not only fighting experience but also strong reaction speed.

An adult can't possibly compete with a child in terms of reaction time. Plus, my husband works every day, so he can't possibly be as good at playing games as a primary school student who has plenty of free time every day.

"Hehe, Dad, just give up."

"No, I want to..."

"Okay, honey, it's time to stop."

"But……"

"Forget it, you can't do it. I'll show you how to play properly."

Suddenly, the wife rolled up her sleeves, walked over to her husband, and snatched the controller from him, saying, "Come on, Bunta, let's play a game."

"Oh? Mom, no need for that, let's eat."

Bunta immediately wanted to give up.

"You're so arrogant, I can't stand it anymore. I have to save face for my husband!"

"Hmph... It's no use trying to save face for Dad, he's still the same weakling."

"What are you muttering about, you brat?" the husband glared at her.

The wife said, "Stop talking nonsense, let's play a game, and then you all better go eat!"

Wen Tai shrank back and finally had no choice but to agree to his mother's challenge.

The atmosphere in the family was a little tense at the moment, but also harmonious.

"Honey, I want to buy a cell phone."

"A cell phone? Don't you already have one?"

"Uh, this... this is a little different from the previous ones. You can play the latest Mario games on this phone."

"Oh, I see. I've seen the ad too. We can buy it. Honey, you work so hard, buying just a phone is definitely no problem."

"Wife, you are so gentle and understanding!"

At the dinner table, the husband was deeply moved, while his son, Wentai, had his eyes shining.

"Dad, does your buying a new phone mean your handheld console can be handed over to me?"

"Dream on, you brat. That has all my treasured video game saves on it. Even if I buy you a new one, I absolutely won't give you the old one."

"Well, a new one isn't necessarily a bad thing..."

"Study hard, and then we'll consider whether to buy it for you."

Bunta looked sullen, but he quickly cheered up again.

Dad bought a new game console, so how could he not have any games to play?

That very evening, the husband couldn't wait to buy the latest Facebook phone online, along with several bundled video games.

Unlike handheld consoles, all games on mobile phones are only available in digital versions, but they are indeed cheap enough in terms of price and quantity.

Moreover, these old games from FC and SFC are not just simple ports; they have all been deeply adapted for touch screens.

There is a dedicated team of 200 people at Youxing Electronic Entertainment doing this.

Because it's a digital version, even games from the NES era can be updated immediately.

With good compatibility and ample game content, players are happy to spend money to buy some nostalgic games, creating a virtuous cycle.

Meanwhile, in Mikefu, the game development progress was somewhat slow, and there were many obstacles and difficulties encountered.

First, there's the issue of game development engines. Myron Case is experienced and visionary in the electronics industry, but that doesn't mean he understands video games.

All he knew was that there were many high-quality games on handheld consoles, which are also mobile devices.

Myron Case immediately told the recruited team that they should develop games of quality that were at least on par with those on the Suri Electronics handheld console.

But this leads to the first problem: the engine.

Creating an engine from scratch is extremely complex and cannot be accomplished overnight. The only usable engine on the market is that of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

As a competitor, Myron Case was just about to launch a major game development campaign when he was told he had to pay a sum of money to Youxing Electronic Entertainment first, which really annoyed him.

Moreover, as a competitor, and a company the size of Mikeford, if they want to obtain a license for Unreal Engine, they now need to pay tens of millions of dollars every year, plus a 10% commission on sales.

Myron Case ultimately decided to have his own people develop the engine.

But that leads to the second problem.

His development team only had a little over two hundred people, and some of them had to spare time to develop new engines. Of course, it wouldn't be a big problem if they were just developing a relatively simple engine.

However, creating games of comparable quality to those on dedicated handheld consoles is not something that can be accomplished in a short time.

But Myron Case didn't want to study these things. He gave his team a death order: don't worry about salary, the price you'll pay is your hair and your liver...

So the game development teams under Mikeford could only develop games and engines with a bittersweet mix of pain and pleasure.

Upon hearing the news that Myron Case was somewhat flustered in developing the game, Takeyusei's smile never faded.

It seems that this person, who has been making a mess of things in the electronics industry, doesn't really understand the difficulties of game development.

Moreover, the other party seems to have been led astray by me, which is that I want a high-quality game, not just an ordinary little game. Myron Case will probably continue down this wrong path for at least a year, which is my opportunity.

Leaving aside non-gamer users, at least for video game players who want to buy a phone, we must strive to make Facebook's phone the first thing that comes to mind.

First, secure the core player base, and then win over other users.
