Dear Wangan Midnight-obsessed friends, how are you?
It's Yamamoto. Wacha-cha-!
(This week's great catchword was sent by a high-school player in Aichi Prefecture. Thank you very much.)
It's the rainy season. When I was a kid, I didn't even have any feelings like,
"It's damp, and I hate it. When can I hang out my laundry!!?"
However, in the last few years, I've had more things to think about. I guess maybe this indicates the process of growing up.
I think Wangan Midnight-obsessed grown-ups would surely understand this.
Well, as shown in the title, the much-awaited national championship will finally start!
From Hokkaidao in the north to Okinawa in the south, the toughest players throughout the country will do battle, and the day to resolve the eternal question for the Wangan players, "Who is the fastest!?," will come soon!
I'm sure there are players like,
"Thius suhndae iza tunameunt dae in mah taoun! Oh, yup."
or like,
"Ok, like in my town, it'll be Sunday for sure!, I think, and um, of course I'll do my best! Duh!!"
I heard that this championship's been attracting attention from various people from all quarters.
Not only Namco Bandai Games employees, but all the employees in the Namco Bandai Group have been firmly determined recently.
Since this event is the first one in the entire Wangan series, it'll be fun to participate in the event in the spirit of "Festival-obsessed Japanese!" without much tension, even for the players who just started to play Wangan!
I'm sure the event day will be a great one to blow off the damp from the rainy season and the summer heat.
It won't matter even if you're not good at it! It's okay to hit into a wall! It won't matter even if you lose!
Even grown-ups and elementary-school students are all very welcome!
"I wanna do battle!!"
If you have that feeling, you're welcome.
There is a world you won't understand until you fight!
Please go to your nearest Arcade Holding Qualifying Tournament to participate. Good luck to you all.
Then, if you win the championship, I'm sure you'll gain something great.
Well then, see you again somewhere!
