Hi there! This is Tanaka, leader of PlatinumGames’ fighting game club.

The fighting games circle is a place where fans devoted to the genre can congregate and compete in tournaments with each other.

In one of our recent meetings, we had a special unpackaging ceremony for an arcade controller: an indispensable item to any fighting game fan.
After that we played a few rounds of Ultra Street Fighter 4 together.

It was a good opportunity for a lot of staff to loosen up and revisit some of their childhood gaming memories.
Or maybe for a little more fanatic gamers like me, it was just like having my friends over for a few hours of gaming.

So far we’ve played all different sorts of titles, from new to old. I want everyone to feel like they can drop in whenever they want, so we usually play in meeting rooms in the office. Next time I’m thinking maybe to do some Guilty Gear or Smash Bros.

Anyway, that’s all from me. We have a ton of other clubs going on, so expect to hear more from another one sooner or later!

Thanks!
