"hehe."

Seeing this situation, Hiroshi Sakaguchi was not very worried. He discussed with Jester when he was preparing for this press conference, and Jester also told him that if he responded with this excuse, it would definitely arouse public anger. However, Jester immediately told Hiroshi Sakaguchi a new excuse, which is actually basically the default between Mars Entertainment and Nintendo.

It is through the evaluation of "Game" and "Famitong" to know each other's game in advance.

So, Hiroshi Sakaguchi just smiled. He looked at the reporter of Asahi Shimbun and said in a plain tone: "Of course it's not that simple. Mr. Reporter, this is just an inducement. The real reason why we made the following decision is that we found that "Famitsu" violated the contract we signed before and gave us the official version of the game cartridge we gave to our direct competitors without authorization. This is the real reason why we made today, rejecting "Famitsu" banned reporting in the future and interviewed all the announcements about our confidence."

As soon as Hiroshi Sakaguchi said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Although he did not say who was the direct competitor who obtained their Final Fantasy game cartridges through "Famitong", in the current video game environment, Nintendo is the only one who can be called a direct competitor by Mars Entertainment.

"Be serious?" The female reporter from Asahi Shimbun was shocked in the answer from Hiroshi Sakaguchi. After such a thing is exposed, it will inevitably be a scandal.

Hiroshi Sakaguchi continued to smile, and still said in a confident tone: "We can confront each other in person."

In fact, the reason why Jester asked Hiroshi Sakaguchi to say this is because this is just a unspoken rule that both parties have defaulted. In the previous few reviews, both parties got each other's games in advance through these two magazines, and they also had a rough understanding of the quality of the game. However, after this time, after the Tokyo branch of Mars Entertainment gave the final fantasy game cartridge of "Famitong" at the Tokyo branch, "Game" was managed as usual and was about to ask Nintendo for the cartridge of "Dragon Quest" for review, it was very politely rejected by Nintendo.

Nintendo replied this. They said that this game is not their Nintendo work, so it is not their power to give it to you for review. It is not their power to say this. There is no mistake in saying this. Game has to ask about game reviews, but Enix asked strangely that their game has been delivered to Nintendo. Who to evaluate and how to burn the cassettes? So Nintendo is operating it for sale, which has little to do with them. Moreover, they have signed an agreement with Nintendo. They are not qualified to give game magazine games and let them evaluate them.

When Jester saw the report from his magazine, he was furious. At this time, Hiroshi Sakaguchi also told him that "Famitong" had taken away their game cartridges. However, he did not give any comments or reports, which made him angry. Originally, this was mutually beneficial to both sides, but Nintendo did this this time and actively destroying such unspoken rules.

That's why this time, Hiroshi Sakaguchi had no scruples to fight for the press conference.

A day later, at Nintendo's Kyoto headquarters, Yuki Yamauchi kept roaring at the senior meeting, while the Nintendo executives sitting below were silent. No one dared to look up at the angry head of Nintendo.

"It's outrageous!" Yamauchi Hiroshi kept repeating this sentence. He had received dozens of interview requests in this short day. It was indeed true that Mars Entertainment said at their press conference that they obtained the game cartridge of "Finance Fantasy" through "Famitong", which made them unable to argue.

However, he was unaware of this matter before, otherwise he would not have broken the things that maintained the traditions of both sides. As a Kyoto native, known as the most rigid Kyoto company in Japan, what Yuuka Yamauchi likes most is to maintain various established rules, not to destroy them, but to maintain him.

This time, the marketing department colluded with Farmitong, hoping that his side would have a comprehensive understanding of the other party’s game before it was officially released, and that the other party would have no idea about his game.

This is indeed for the sake of Nintendo.

However, this kind of thinking is the most despised by Hiroshi Yamauchi.

After Yamauchi finished scolding, he looked around the scene with a sharp look. Everyone was like a chicken falling into the water, lowering his head, and did not dare to breathe. He had to sigh and said, "This time, since we were at a disadvantage in public opinion and were untenable in terms of emotion and reason, I will put pressure on those big newspapers through relationships, but we must not admit this matter externally. I think Mars Entertainment will not want to expand this matter. After all, they did not get our game cartridges in advance this time, but they had taken a lot before. We can pass on this matter through our relationship. Since they want to tear their faces apart, we don't need to show them mercy. It's good to give them some pressure."

Time passed quickly in this fight between Nintendo and Mars Entertainment. More than 20 days passed quickly. This scandal came quickly, but it also went quickly. After Mars Entertainment revealed that Nintendo got their Final Fantasy game cartridges in advance through "Famitong", some media reported that in fact, Mars Entertainment had also obtained Nintendo's game cartridges through "Game".

Moreover, the reason why Jester did this was not only to make his development team in Japan exorcising because of his contempt, but the most important thing was to make a sensational news in Japan. Now that this goal has been achieved, he will not continue to hype, because this is not a bright means, so it would be fine if he used it once. Moreover, Nintendo is not a vegetarian if he exposes each other's shortcomings.

Neither Mars Entertainment nor Nintendo want to expand this matter. When the victim does not want the matter to expand this matter, it cannot be hyped up by relying on the media to hype it.

By the 20th of next month, the storm caused by this incident will basically disappear.

However, for Mars Entertainment, it has also attracted the attention of many players due to this incident.

"Dragon Quest" is the most fully prepared. For this release, they set the date one and a half months before, while the date of "Final Fantasy" was set up in a targeted manner after "Dragon Quest" was confirmed.

"Dragon Quest" has placed almost all resources in Japan. "Final Fantasy" is promoted in the United States, Japan and Europe. However, in Japan, it is the development team of Hiroshi Sakaguchi, and the United States and Europe have different teams. This is the first time that Mars Entertainment has released simultaneously in three different sales areas.

The most common ones were released at the same time in the United States and Japan, but Europe will delay for a while.

The news of the release at the same time this time has also been supported by many European players. Claudia is responsible for Europe, and Jester can rest assured. He also knows that Claudia's ability is the popular distribution in the United States, and he is only responsible for promoting it. Jester also unexpectedly accepted an exclusive interview with "Game" for the sake of the game "Final Fantasy".

In this interview, he talked in detail about the development process of "Final Fantasy".

Originally, many players just thought that this game was developed by a Japanese team without much fame. The only thing that the team could do was that the producer and the soundtrack had worked in the "Fire Pattern" development team. Such experience could not reassure players. Therefore, although many players knew about this game, not too many people really wanted to buy it.

Most people want to see the reviews before deciding whether they can buy it.

Although a game magazine that was convinced by players gave the game a 39-point rating.

But when Jester said that this game was invented and he also participated in the main framework, background, and system creation of the game, the number of players who wanted to buy this "Final Fantasy" surged. The pre-sale column opened in the flagship store of Mars Entertainment doubled in just one day, and exceeded 100,000 copies the next day.

This number is extremely amazing.

It also fully reflects the unrivalled prestige of Jester in the minds of North American players. The pre-ordered release date of "Dragon Quest" is July 20th, while the release date of "Final Fantasy" is July 25th.

Nintendo's status in the minds of Japanese players is equivalent to Mars Entertainment in the minds of North American players. Both companies have re-established new rules from the ruins of electronic games destroyed by Atari's impact, and did not make the term electronic games become an entry that can only be seen in encyclopedias.

On July 20th, due to the international date change line, Japan's official release time was one day earlier than that in the United States.

In front of the Nintendo flagship store in Ginza, Tokyo, there were long queues from the evening of the 19th. By 8 am on the 20th, when "Dragon Quest" was officially released, a team of thousands of people had already gathered. Moreover, this scenario is not only in Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, and Yokohama. In any place with a Nintendo flagship store.

This is not a phenomenon that can be triggered by a game developed by an unknown game company.
