"I know that everyone is a little confused about this ranking!" Zhong Yu said with a smile on the stage, "In fact, we didn't intend to give the first place to Zelda: Flute of Time. Those who know Nintendo's games know that it's impossible to give it to them!"
"However, since May of this year, we have been receiving voting postcards from all over the world. We found that many players wrote the name 'Celda Flute of Time' in their postcards and gave it a very high score. In the end, it was the game that ranked first! "
"So I was very confused and hesitant at that time. There was a lot of discussion in the company. In the end, I could only ask our Chairman Jia!"
"Chairman Jia also hesitated at that time because he hated Nintendo very much! However, he still read my report very seriously. Then, he asked me to give him a voting postcard. "
"This is it. Any player who bought the game in the steam store can get a voting postcard that comes with the game. The postcard can vote for all the games released from January 1, 1996 to January 1, 1997."
"Our Chairman Jia took this postcard and looked at it many times. Then he asked me if there was a rule on it that only the games released in the steam store were allowed to vote?"
"I thought for a moment and then said no!"
"Then this is the well-deserved first place. Our Chairman Jia said to me that since we are choosing the best game in the world in 1996, and not the best game company in 1996, why should we exclude the truly excellent game?"
"If someone were to choose the best game company in 1996, but our Daqian was excluded, do you think that is fair?"
"So, our first place is Zelda: Flute of Time. Let us congratulate this game for being the well-deserved best game in 1996!" Zhong Yu said, and the whole audience burst into applause.

"Oda-kun, the Daqian side is so lively. There are so many people applauding. It seems that the applause is even louder than before!" At Nintendo's booth, a staff member said in a sour tone.
"Yeah, I guess they released some trash game again!" Another person, Oda, said with a face full of disdain and even more jealousy.
It couldn't be helped. Ever since the day E3 was held, Nintendo had always been the side that served as a foil.
Because whether it was the layout of the booth, the games released, or the results of these games, Daqian far surpassed Nintendo. It seemed like the entire E3 was dominated by Daqian alone.
"They're not releasing any games. The customers I was talking to just now said that they came from the Daqian's booth. All the games this year were released that day. Now, they're releasing news about the steam game store. I heard that there's a leaderboard!" Another employee interrupted.
"What are they lining up for?" someone asked.
"It seems like there are two rankings. One is the total sales volume, and the other is the total rating!"
"Come on, then this is Daqian's one-man show!" Mr. Oda's expression became even more disdainful. "I'm willing to bet that other than the sales ranking, the rating ranking is definitely Da Qian's own games. At most, one or two of their lackeys' games would be added to the top 10!
"But there are indeed a lot of good games released by Daqian this year, especially StarCraft. That's definitely an excellent product!" A passerby heard the conversation of these employees and immediately retorted. It seemed that this was a loyal StarCraft fan.
"No matter how fun StarCraft is, can it be as fun as Nintendo's Zelda's Flute of Time? Can it be better than Flute of Time? " Oda-kun asked directly. The passerby thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Flute of Time is naturally better!"
"That's right. If the Daqian has the ability to rank our Flute of Time first, I'll accept their ranking as a fair ranking. Otherwise, they're just blowing their own trumpet!" Oda-kun snorted coldly. The customer shook his head helplessly, thinking that this Nintendo employee was too irritable.
Everyone in the world knows about the grudges between the Daqian and Nintendo. It would be strange if the Daqian would give Flute of Time first place. Maybe there's not even a single Nintendo game in the entire ranking. After all, they only need to say that they're ranking the games in the steam game store. There's nothing unfair about it.
At this time, a large number of people walked out of the Daqian stage. Obviously, the Daqian press conference has ended.
The customer showed a somewhat regretful expression. Because he was chatting with these guys, he missed such an important press conference. In desperation, the customer could only grab a few tourists around him and ask, "Friends, I wonder how the Daqian's ranking is determined?"
A few of the Nintendo employees pricked up their ears to listen to what they were saying.
"Oh, the first place on the sales leaderboard is Pokemon Gold and Silver, and the second place is StarCraft." These few visitors blew up the sales leaderboard, but these names were expected, so he asked anxiously, "What about the game rating leaderboard?"
"Oh, I don't remember most of it, but I remember the first place very clearly!"
"What game?"
"It's actually Nintendo's Zelda: Flute of Time. Don't you think the Daqian is particularly interesting? Hahaha!" The customers laughed and left, leaving the Nintendo employees with a confused look.
Even at this time, they still felt that it was not true. Unfortunately, later facts proved that Zelda: Flute of Time was indeed the best game selected by the Daqian.
That afternoon, the news reached the ears of Yamauchi Yamauchi, who was recuperating in Fusang. Yamauchi Yamauchi, like his employees, was dumbfounded when he first heard the news.
After waiting for a few minutes, he let out a long sigh and said, "It's over. This kid has grown to this stage. He's almost invincible!"
"President, you said that he's invincible. That's too much!" Iwata Satoru said disapprovingly.
"Hehe, to be able to calmly give the first place to his opponent means that in Jia Yapeng's eyes, we don't even exist. We don't even have the qualifications to be his opponent."
"An opponent who doesn't treat you as an opponent, isn't that invincible?" After Yamauchi Yamauchi finished speaking, his whole body suddenly convulsed, and he fainted. Iwata Satoru was frightened. Fortunately, he was saved in the end, but his life became even weaker.
"You go and contact the Daqian games!" After Yamauchi Yamauchi woke up, he looked at Iwata Satoru and Minoru Arakawa, who were surrounding him.
