1986 year.

The Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition is officially coming to the fourth edition.

As the world's first professional electronic entertainment exhibition.

The influence of the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition is growing.

This year, in particular, the number of exhibitors at TEPCO has once again reached a new high.

Two hundred and twenty-seven enterprises from all over the world signed up to participate in this exhibition.

The number of booths in this exhibition exceeded 400 in one fell swoop.

The rapid growth of the number of exhibitors has also led to the fact that the venues used in the first three editions can no longer meet the demand of the exhibition.

Therefore, this year, the venue of the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition was arranged in Harumi, Chuo Ward.

An exhibition and convention center operated by Tokyo Big Sight.

This exhibition center, which has been in operation since the 60s, is also known as Tokyo Big Sight because of its operators.

Hideki Hanyu also knew that Tokyo Big Sight would move from Chuo Ward to Ariake, Koto Ward in order to expand in the 90s.

But now Tokyo Big Sight is big enough to handle the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition.

So after receiving a call from Satoshi Iwata, Hideki Hanyu drove his new Mercedes-Benz G-Class to Tokyo Big Sight in Chuo-ku.

After putting the car in the parking lot, Hideki Hanyu walked towards the venue under the guidance of the staff who had been waiting for him.

Although the exhibition will only start tomorrow, the exhibition hall is already very lively at this time.

After all, there are more than 200 exhibitors, more than 400 booths, and there are quite a few staff members alone.

What's more, driven by Genie Entertainment, many large companies are accustomed to holding press conferences at the main booth and have begun to rehearse in advance.

Walking all the way, after passing by a familiar or unfamiliar booth, Hideki Hanyu arrived at the booth site of Elf Entertainment.

As a "one's own person", the booth of Genie Entertainment is naturally the largest and best position.

When Hideki Hanyu arrived, he happened to see some staff members wearing fairy entertainment game character doll costumes, receiving guidance from the booth leader.

These are some ways to deal with players and fans at the fair.

As a result, he came at this time, and the person in charge hurriedly greeted, "President Hanyu, good afternoon." ”

After the person in charge spoke.

Hanyu Hideki saw the characters of the game such as "Mario Bros.", "Takuma Utako", "Pokémon Elf", "Dragon Quest", and "The Legend of Zelda", and greeted him together.

"Good to grow!"

Looking at the picture in front of him, Hideki Hanyu felt an inexplicable sense of joy.

The scene of being greeted by a group of big men in black suits has been seen by many people on TV.

It's not a big shot, it's a pole boss.

Can be greeted by a group of game characters.

What is he?

The Grip of the Virtual Game World......

But don't say it, in terms of the games represented by these game characters in front of you, Hanyu Hideki led them to fight the invincible opponents in the game world, and there was really no pressure at all.

And that's just a part of the library of games in Genie Entertainment.

Waving to everyone, Hideki Hanyu walked into position.

Then I saw Satoshi Iwata, who was chatting with the head of the production department, Juntashi Kusama.

On the phone just now, Satoshi Iwata had a tone of urgency.

But now it seems that he is not as anxious as on the phone.

"President ......"

Hideki Hanyu appears, and Satoshi Iwata and Maesei Maemoto greet him.

Hanyu Hideki got straight to the point and asked directly, "How sure are you that what you said on the phone just now is true?" ”

Satoshi Iwata replied, "I have confirmed with Minister Kusamura that we should be close to ten." ”

Kusamura Purebreds nodded and agreed. "After hearing the news, I also made a special investigation in Singapore, and it can already be determined that Bandai's factory in Singapore is not an electronic pet, but a handheld computer."

"It's really expected, and it's unexpected......"

Hideki Hanyu sighed.

And his eyes couldn't help but look at a huge booth to the right of Elf Entertainment.

The logo on it is very familiar.

Nintendo。

Very early, Elf Entertainment found out that Nintendo and Bandai were plotting something.

Both Eri Kitahara and Satoshi Iwata have spoken to him about it.

He had vaguely guessed something.

Today, Satoshi Iwata called him to tell him that all the clues had come together to establish that Nintendo and Bandai were working on a handheld.

It also unites with Takara, the copyright owner of Transformers.

It will be announced at this year's Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Expo.

At this point, look at Nintendo's booth

Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but think.

Obviously, the handheld war that broke out in the late eighties was stunned because Elf Entertainment started early.

In an instant, Hideki Hanyu had the feeling that his opponents had joined forces to team up to attack the boss of Elf Entertainment.

Hideki Hanyu asked, "Is there any specific information about the handheld, parameters or something?" ”

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible.

Now that I've only gotten one piece of news, there's nothing I can do to deal with it.

In case of......

Yamauchi lent Yokoi Gunpei to Bandai.

Plus Takara Kaisha.

Directly triggers the condition for "synthesizing" the WonderSwan handheld.

That elf entertainment is really not easy to deal with.

After all, it was the handheld that defeated Nintendo in the 90s.

Even if the time is early, it is still not to be underestimated.

When it comes to hardware research and development, Nintendo and Bandai are extremely powerful.

In terms of game development, even though Hideki Hanyu has been digging into Nintendo's corners, Nintendo's strength is still not to be underestimated.

The series of games created by the other party with Donkey Kong as the theme are still classics in the mouths of players.

Today, we are working with Bandai and Takara Kaisha.

On behalf of them, they grasp the popular copyrights such as "Ultraman", "Gundam" series, and "Transformers" in one go.

It can be described as both software and hardware, and it is menacing.

Faced with Hanyu Hideki's question, Satoshi Iwata replied.

"The only thing we know for sure is that their handheld is likely to use rechargeable batteries."

"Rechargeable battery...... Hehe......"

Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but laugh.

Late seventies, early eighties.

Sega's GAME AND GO handhelds use rechargeable batteries, and they have had a big impact on Nintendo's SW handhelds.

At that time, the reason why Nintendo was able to defeat Sega's GAME AND GO was not because of the hype, did Sega's handheld battery have a risk of causing cancer?

As a result, in order to deal with elf entertainment, Nintendo itself also used rechargeable batteries.

It's only been four or five years......

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu immediately said to Satoshi Iwata.

"This time, if their handheld really uses rechargeable batteries, then use the same way Nintendo dealt with Sega back then."

"That's what I think, too. ”

As for how to deal with it, Nintendo has already set an example, just learn from it.

When the handheld computer jointly developed by them is launched, they will immediately send one to America, and find a so-called third-party testing agency to test the battery.

As long as you can detect a little harmful ingredient, then go directly to the media to announce it.

Next, Elf Entertainment just needs to add fuel to the fire.

It's just that everyone is smart people, and there is no reason why Nintendo and Bandai can't think of the problems they can think of.

So Kusamura said, "I guess they must have a way to deal with it." ”

"It doesn't matter, you have to try it if it works or not."

Hideki Hanyu also didn't think that he could defeat his opponent by relying on such a method that had learned from the past.

Although in later generations, domestic battery technology has advanced by leaps and bounds.

But in the eighties and nineties, neon's battery technology dominated the world, occupying the world's largest market share.

In this case, he can think of a lot of ways to crack it.

For example, find a big battery manufacturer to cooperate.

If Genie Entertainment really attacks like this, it is tantamount to attacking that big battery manufacturer.

There is no need for Nintendo and Bandai to take action, and battery manufacturers will take the initiative to solve the problem.

Besides, in case the battery provider is Panasonic, Sony...... Such a big force.

Hideki Hanyu will immediately call off the plan.

In order to attack the opponent and offend such a conference society, it will be more than worth the loss.

"It's useless to talk about it now, and tomorrow everything will be clear, and then it's too late to talk about it."

Hideki Hanyu's voice fell.

Satoshi Iwata, who was next to him, asked, "Is the president coming tomorrow?" ”

"Of course I'm coming, I want to see what Nintendo has in store for us, if it's just a handheld, then there's really nothing to worry about."

Another time and space, countless facts have proved it.

In the gaming market, it's not the hardware that can determine success or failure.

Besides, Elf Entertainment is not unprepared this year.

Their Pokeball 2 also comes with two hardware upgrades.

In this day and age, no matter how powerful Nintendo and Bandai are, they can't play too many tricks due to technology.

Speaking of which, everything will only be known tomorrow.

He knew that he could only know this, and he didn't need to make a trip at all.

Next, after chatting with Satoshi Iwata about the exhibition, Hideki Hanyu was about to leave.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he said goodbye to the two, a person with a hurried look arrived at the booth of Elf Entertainment.

This person is a senior executive of the game base publishing house, and is in charge of the organizers of this year's Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition.

After the other party entered the booth, he went straight to Hanyu Hideki, said hello, and whispered a few words in Hanyu Hideki's ear.

"President Hanyu, Editor-in-Chief Takida......"

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu unconsciously frowned, and his expression fell into hesitation.

Seeing this, Satoshi Iwata asked with concern, "President, is something wrong?" ”

Hideki Hanyu replied slowly, "The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Governor of Tokyo are here. ”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, also known as the Foreign Minister in Neon, is one of the most important positions in the Neon Cabinet.

Those who can hold this position must be powerful legislators in the license-holding faction.

The name of the person who holds this position today cannot be named.

But his second son is the one who was later shot by the neon first male gun and gangk.

As for the governor of Tokyo, he is the highest governor of the Tokyo area.

It is also a very important location.

The person who holds this position now will also be a big figure in the certificate faction in the future, and he will enter the cabinet and sit in the position of minister of finance.

The two came to the live market, and Koji Takida knew that he was at the scene and came to inform him, hoping that he would show up.

After all, it's no secret that he's here today.

If you don't see it, you can't make sense.

And the relationship between the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition and him is not a secret in the eyes of the upper echelons.

But the problem is, he really doesn't have a good impression of the foreign minister.

In addition, in the past, out of the "responsibility" of the national teacher, he also wrote editorials in newspapers criticizing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs led by the other side.

Meeting in this situation is somewhat awkward.

But after a moment's hesitation, he left with the employee.

In this case, embarrassment is better than putting on a show for the other party.

And he didn't have a good impression of the foreign minister.

But now that the governor of Tokyo, he still really wants to make friends.

In his plan, the super-large park prepared for his club will also fall on this person.

It was precisely because of this incident that he knew that the other party would be re-elected until the mid-90s in the position of governor of Tokyo.

Therefore, in addition to the park, he has many plans to cooperate with the governor of Tokyo.

Following the staff all the way, finally at the location of the main booth, Hideki Hanyu saw a vast group of people.

The two parties are being accompanied by Koji Takida.

In addition to the entourage, he was followed by several reporters.

Next, Hideki Hanyu meets with the two.

Although the other party is a big shot, Hideki Hanyu is not a small shrimp now.

You don't need to lower your posture, just go ahead and do business as usual.

Then, he saw the thickness of the face of political figures.

The expected embarrassment was not at all.

As if the editorial he had written before did not exist.

Sure enough, he was overthinking.

The main reason why these two are here today is to praise the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition.

Then take a look at the heat of the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition.

After all, the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition has grown to the scale it is today, and the influence it has achieved around the world.

For the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, these are all political achievements.

For the Tokyo metropolitan area, it is a major event that can drive the economy.

The governor of Tokyo also extended an invitation to Hideki Hanyu.

He was invited to participate in an international exchange event to be held by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's business department next week.

In addition to formal salons, there are also dinner parties.

It was the day after the end of the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Expo.

Obviously, it was through the aftermath of the TEPCO exhibition.

Hideki Hanyu didn't care about this at all.

Hanyu Hideki, who had wanted to establish a relationship with the other party, agreed on the spot.

In this way, after the two sides exchanged and were photographed by the media, this unexpected meeting was over.

Leaving Tokyo Big Sight, Hideki Hanyu saw that the time was not early, so he didn't go to Genie Entertainment anymore and went straight home.

But as soon as he entered the door, he saw Akina Nakamori's shoes in the entrance.

and the sound of cooking in the kitchen.

He wasn't at home these days, so he didn't let the chef cook.

So you don't have to guess to know that it must be Chubby Cuisine cooking.

I changed my shoes and took off my coat.

When he got closer to the kitchen, he realized that it wasn't Chubby.

Rather, it is glasses Arare.

I saw Akina Nakamori standing in front of the stove, with long hair tied into balls tied on the top of her head, wearing a plaid shirt, plain makeup and elegant face, and a pair of round-framed glasses.

The whole person can only be described as playful and cute.

"Hanyu-kun is back!"

Seeing Hideki Hanyu, Akina Nakamori was full of joy.

After all, they haven't seen each other for two weeks since they parted ways with Hideki Hanyu at the beginning of the month.

However, after being happy, Akina Nakamori pushed Hanyu Hideki towards the kitchen again.

"Get out of here...... Get out! Men can't keep coming to the kitchen, the meal is about to be ready, and Hanyu-kun can just sit outside. ”

Hanyu Hideki, who couldn't resist Araleina, had to leave the kitchen.

But he didn't go far, just sat at the dining table outside the kitchen, chatting with Akina Nakamori.

"Akina-chan just returned to Tokyo?"

On the first day of the new month, Akina Nakamori put herself into busy work.

Do publicity, record programs, and run around in all neon colors.

It's not easy to see each other.

"Actually, yesterday's work came to an end, but I went back to Kiyose City and met with Mingsui to chat, and I always felt uneasy when I called before."

"What did she say?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"You have decided to sign her into the cloud arts, of course she is happy, and said that when the holiday is over, you will come to Tokyo to thank you in person."

"Huh? Akina-chan mentioned me? ”

"Of course, you can't take all the credit for it."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you say it or not."

"Hanyu-kun thinks so much about Mingsui, I'm sure I'm going to say it."

The two chatted like this.

Soon, Akina Nakamori wore heat-insulating gloves and brought the dinner she had prepared today.

"For seafood risotto, I specially bought the freshest tiger shrimp, scallops, squid, and a lot of vegetables, Hanyu-kun try it."

"It just looks delicious."

Faced with the brightly colored and fragrant seafood risotto, Hideki Hanyu picked up a spoon and tasted it.

The seafood is fresh, and the rice absorbs the flavors of vegetables and seafood, and it is very sweet and delicious.

"Mingcai-chan is amazing."

Hanyu Hideki praised without hesitation.

"Really? I just learned this, and it's great that Hanyu-kun likes the real thing. ”

Praised by her beloved, Akina Nakamori's eyes were immediately bent into crescents.

"Of course it's true, don't look at Ming Cai, let's sit down and eat together, I can't finish eating so much." Hideki Hanyu greeted.

"Okay."

Akina Nakamori answered, sat down and ate together.

"I was worried that Hanyu-kun would come back late, but I didn't expect you to come back just right."

"I went to the Central District exhibition site in the afternoon, and I came back directly after the end, so it was relatively early."

Speaking of the exhibition, Hideki Hanyu thought of the invitation of the Governor of Tokyo, and immediately asked Akina Nakamori, "Does Akina have a work schedule for next Tuesday?" ”

"I'm going to record the Akina Express in the morning, but I haven't scheduled it for the afternoon, is there anything wrong with Hanyu-kun?"

"That's right, Akina will accompany me to an event in the afternoon."

When Akina Nakamori heard this, she didn't ask what the event was, but even agreed, "No problem." ”

"Remember to prepare formal clothes in advance, which is a more formal occasion and an exchange event organized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government."

"Huh? Is it okay for me to go to such a formal occasion? ”

"Of course I can bring a female companion."

Hanyu Hideki's words fell on Akina Nakamori's ears, and immediately made the girl's heart full of sweetness.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

At the end of dinner, the two people who reunited don't need to write more.

The time came to the next day.

Akina Nakamori continues to work.

And Hideki Hanyu went straight to the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition.

He couldn't wait to see that Nintendo did not hesitate to join forces with Bandai and bring Takara Club together.

What exactly can you make......
