26 EP. 7: Carine's Legend (3)

Amazing... The procession of the people that stretched all the way to the event site was almost invisible. No matter how much Japanese people like to line up, I can't believe this is it. Karin's legendary sale starts at 2: 00 pm!!

“Go, Gang-gun. I'm having trouble breathing. Give me a boost. ”

“Wake up and come quickly. The staff at the venue will be waiting for you. ”

Before crossing a long, long matrix and entering the dealership, I asked a male guest of my age who was waiting at the front of the matrix.

“Thank you for coming in the cold weather. I'm Junhyuk Kang, a Mintendo employee, but how long have you been waiting? ”

“I've been waiting since 10: 00 a.m. yesterday. Haha... I just wanted to have this limited edition of the legendary first edition of Karin...”

You waited 24 hours in the cold of December? Oh, my God.

“Thank you for your enthusiasm. I'll talk to the boss about it separately, so if you don't mind, I'd like to take a photo for the anniversary later. ”

“Oh, yes! Are you next to Shigeru Kumamoto? I've been a huge fan since Dongking Com. I'm looking forward to this Karin legend!! ”

Then he smiled awkwardly and became angry.

“Thank you. I hope you like the legend of Karin as well. ”

&

As time went on, the procession grew longer and longer, and as the afternoon approached, it was forming a phosphorus seal in front of the venue. These are all users who came to buy Karin's legend. It was really creepy.

This phenomenon reached the station, and now a reporter from the news was interviewing Shigere.

When they returned, Kamuchi and Gunpei arrived at the venue after dispatching a few event helpers to prevent chaos in front of the venue.

“Hey, man!! Director!!"

Kamauchi, who had a mouth in his ear, ran towards me like a dance-off.

“What the hell is going on? Huh? I just got a call from Osaka, Kyoto, and Fukuoka saying that Karin's legendary sale is a joke. In one day, 30,000 supercutables will be ready to go! ”

Ha! I was really looking forward to it, but this is unbelievable! Common titles. In addition, when it is new, the number of seconds is usually around 5,000 cartridges.

And it usually took about a week to digest them all in the store, and the legend of Karin was a title that we were somewhat looking forward to, so we put a limited quantity of gold on the front for aggressive marketing.

The expectations of users have been amplified because they were already Kumamoto Shigeru, a mintendo gaming signatory, such as Marige Brothers and Super Maridge, and Pammi was also the first magazine to introduce the trends in the gaming world to feature luxurious articles to increase the number of publications.

So, Karin's legend was evenly equipped to give birth to many topics before the release, and the Dragon Warrior's boom was slightly slowed, with a huge rebound effect on his back.

And 2: 00 p.m. on the big screen.

The event store heard the legendary opening song of Karin and people took their turn to buy the game. The 150 gold cartridges prepared at the event had already run out in 15 minutes.

Of course, there was no great confusion because it was announced before the event began, but there were also some people who were sad. Kamauchi, who was watching the register, was also looking sad with the users.

“Look. I mean, I told you to get 10,000 of them ready. ”

“No. If I had 10,000, I would never have seen this effect. because the smaller the quantity of limited edition, the more people are recognized for their value. ”

“Kang-gun, what are you? First I thought he was a console hard designer, then I made a game, then I sent him to America, and now he's out of business, and now he's marketing. By the way, what's Gunpei saying at the event here? What the hell were you doing with Gunpei and keeping it a secret from me? ”

Kamauchi asked me with a curious look on his face. But I had no choice but to shrug my shoulders. In fact, it was a joint project between me, Gunpei and Shigeru, one of my meticulous plans to gather some people into Karin's legend.

“I'll announce in an hour, so please wait!”

I smiled brightly, checking the time with my wristwatch. Then, inside the venue, there was a phrase that said, "The first public at 3: 33." Each user guessed that the number 3 implies three jewels from Karin's legend and that there was already a follow-up.

Those who had already purchased the legend of Karin were also struggling to leave the venue due to curiosity about 3: 33. I'm glad we have a big event planned...

Since yesterday morning, we have paid the first customer to purchase a 28-hour ledger for certain awards, including Shigeru's Signed Game Title and Maridge Character Doll, and we have finished the commemorative shoot together.

And the 3: 33 that everyone was waiting for. Gunpei, who was at the event, disappeared somewhere and for a moment it seemed like the inside of the event was getting dark, and a spotlight appeared on the small stage that was ready.

“What? What!? ”

When people who were buying the game looked at the platform, Gunpei stepped up and grabbed the microphone.

“Well, first of all, I want to thank all of you for coming to purchase the legend of Karin of Mintendosa, and I'm here today to announce to you the birth of a new portable device. ”

In Gunpei's announcement, the venue quickly began to cheer people up. Then one user in front of Gunpei shouted.

“Mobile device? Are you announcing a new game & watch? ”

“Oh, you're quick on your feet. You got it right.”

Gunpei pulled out the green game & watch machine from the suit's pocket. It was a game & watch machine themed with Karin's legend. Then Kamauchi, who was watching the stage next to me, said.

“What? I already approved that. Is this supposed to be a surprise announcement? Of course, it's big news for everyone here. That's not a bad reaction!”

“Well, just wait a little longer. ”

I smiled faintly and looked at the monolith. Gunpei on the top floor was explaining the new game & watch to users. At a time when there was no projector yet, Mr. Gunpei made it easy for users in front of him to touch the device, and after introducing him that he would learn more about it in the next month's Phame Communication, he put the game & watch back in his arms.

And, uh...

“I have one more surprise for you. ”

Gunpei shouted with a penitent smile, pulling out a heavy machine from his back pocket.

“The world's first portable console gambler to employ a cartridge exchange method. ”

“Whoa!!!!!! ”
