Launch Lineup Planning Meeting for the New Handheld Console (6)
"By using the new handheld console's infrared communication." Nakayama Takuya pointed at the black development kit on the table, painting a picture that set everyone's hearts racing. "Anytime, anywhere, with no need to find a power outlet or mess with cables. Two players meet on a train, align their devices, and directly launch the World Martial Arts Tournament! Over twenty characters, different move combinations, different counter-relationships—they'll be frantically trading intel at school just to unlock every character—"
Hisao Oguchi listened from the side, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
This was a true-dimensional strike!
Players would definitely feel like they got a steal the moment they got their hands on it, and word-of-mouth would inevitably trigger explosive, viral spread.
This could definitely detonate the entire handheld market in an instant!
"Senior Managing Director—" Oba raised a hand, wiping a heavy sweat from his forehead with his voice trembling slightly, "This workload—not to mention doubling the art assets, action tuning, stats balancing, and frame polish—this is even more outrageous than us making two Shinobi games at the same time! Just tweaking the hitboxes and attack collision for these twenty characters alone could drive the action designers in our group crazy!"
"What? Can't do it?" Nakayama Takuya raised an eyebrow, a trace of provocative challenge tinting his tone.
Oba froze. He looked at the sketches on the table, his mind conjuring the image of Goku and Tien Shinhan trading blow-for-blow in an intense brawl at the World Martial Arts Tournament.
He knew all too well the sheer weight of this project.
Once made, this would undoubtedly be an undisputed milestone in the history of Dragon Ball games.
To participate in, or even lead, a project of this caliber was the supreme honor
