Game number one, game number two, Shizuka third.

Ishida Games, Nagayama Competition, Akitsuki Shizuka, these are the names of the champions in the middle school group, adult group, elementary school and below groups respectively.

Not everyone uses real names, and using stage names is also a good choice.

Three people stood side by side on the stage. Takahashi took the fake check with the words "￥1000000-Ishida Game" from the staff below and handed it to him. The remaining two people were fake checks with the words "￥1000000" in their hands.

"Congratulations to Ishida Games for winning the first quarter of the Ten Thousand Home Games and the National Tour Competition of Tetris. Congratulations to winning the National Tour Competition of Tetris in the Adult Group with the Nagayama Competition. Congratulations to Akitsuki Shizuka for winning the championship of the Primary School and below.

Thanks to sponsor Toyota for its strong support, thanks to the cooperative media Tokyo TV Station for its strong support, and thanks to all players who like Tetris, Wanhu and games.

All contestants who come to the live competition today will receive special prizes from Wanhu."

In my hand, a rectangular thing appeared.

"Tetris handheld!"

Takahashi raised the machine in his hand, as if he wanted everyone to see it. Unfortunately, everyone at the scene did not have the sharp eyes. They couldn't see the machine in Takahashi's hand clearly at such a long distance.

However, the Tokyo TV live broadcast team with large-scale lenses captured a clear image. The audience in front of the TV saw the real machine of the Tetris handheld machine first than the audience on the scene.

This is a rectangular machine, about the size of an adult man's palm. On the upper side of the screen is a screen, which is divided into two areas. The area on the left looks like playing Tetris, while the area on the right seems to show the score.

There are several buttons at the bottom of the screen, and the "up, down, left and right" buttons on the left, which seems to be somewhat similar to Nintendo's "Donkey Kong" game watch and the handle of the red and white machine. However, the four direction keys, up, down, left and right, do not look like one-piece keys, but are divided into four separate keys.

The direction key is to the right, and the center line of the machine is first a long pause button, and then to the right are two slightly staggered circular buttons. Through the sign above, you can see that these two buttons make the square rotate.

"Today, all the contestants who come to participate will have a unique limited machine that matches their ranking in the competition. Each machine has a number and the contestant's own name. This represents the recognition of all contestants by Wanhu.

Audience friends, if you want this machine, you can also purchase it at the corresponding stalls in the square after you go out. Audience friends in front of the TV, if you are in Tokyo, if you want to pick up the phone and order it, we will have a special person to deliver the Tetris handheld machine to your hands. Audience friends in other regions, if you want it, please don’t worry. Wanhu’s factory has sufficient production capacity. I believe that Wanhu’s Tetris machine will appear on the store shelves soon, and you can buy it at that time.”

In the mid-1980s, Japan, as the level of people's wealth continued to improve, it was increasingly accurate for housewives who were focusing on family wealth.

A new advertising model of TV shopping was born. At this moment, Takahashi is like a host wearing a suit in a TV shopping program, selling his own products in an exaggerated tone.

However, Takahashi's words were actually quite peaceful. He said, "The handheld console of Tetris will support card plug-in games. The first release is the Tetris game, but we will launch subsequent games later. I hope everyone will like it.

Oh, right!

I almost forgot something.

There will be the Tetris National Competition next year. As the organizer of the event, we have decided!

For every Tetris machine sold, one hundred yen will be given to enter the prize pool of the next national competition.

The price of the Tetris machine is 6,999 yen in tax, I hope everyone can support it!"

Many viewers heard Takahashi's words and calculated with their fingers. None of Wanhu's red and white machine games sold less than 500,000 sets.

Even if the sales volume of Tetris handheld machines is calculated at 500,000 units, every time a machine is sold, one hundred yen will enter the prize pool.

That's... the total bonus of 50 million yen!

You should know that even if it is Japan's national sport, baseball, which won the first team in the country, it will not be able to get so many bonuses.

Bonus are better than nothing for them, and honor is the most important thing. Their income comes more from club salaries, as well as income from business operations such as endorsement fees.

Before Takahashi said just now, it seems that the size of the prize pool in Japan is related to the sales of the product.

I have never heard of selling a baseball too much, so the prize money for baseball is higher. I have never heard of selling a baseball too much, so the prize money for football is higher.

The audience who were able to attend were all loyal fans of the electronic competition "Tetris". More than 80,000 viewers recognized that they would come to watch the competition on site. It is more likely that they would buy the Tetris handheld console to support the competition.

Because the Tetris National Tour Grand Prix is ​​the largest competition in the history of electronic games and is also the first live broadcast event of a TV station in Japan.

Therefore, the senior executives of friendly businessmen basically turned down the chores of meetings and stayed in front of the TV to watch how Wanhu's game develops.

Although they had thought about such a money-burning event before, although their own games have influence, no game has the influence of the national level.

Popular ordinary games are OK to hold small competitions, and you can make money back, but you can't make money back when you hold national competitions.

They are paying more attention to the commercial value of this game.

No matter who the result of the competition is, who is the champion? From a commercial perspective, Wanhu, who has a big killer like Tetris, has already won.

Even they expected the launch of Tetris handheld console.

Although Wanhu's Tetris handheld machine is produced in China and almost all components use local Chinese components, Japanese engineers still participated in it and could also find a shadow through some judgments in the industrial chain.

However, they never expected that Wanhu actually had such a business method. This method allows users to connect with the prize pool, making users feel that game competitions are closely related to themselves.
