>"Errmm... hardcore gamers?"

>"S-Snakes?"
>"No... cutesy Japanese shit targeted at lonely men, such as yourself!"

>"Right. You were the one that suggested this game, it's an easy port, it will close our contract with Taito, so how to sell it?"
>"By... advertising it?"
>"Heh, you're funny, but we don't have that kind of a budget. And we obviously can't use that scantly clad animu girl on the cover, it's too Japanese, especially for the grannies. So how what else can we do?"
>"Scantily clad... anime... boys?"
>"No, that would alienate the hardcore gamers! Haven't you been listening...."

>"And make up a catchy slogan to go with it, something like -Fun Fit For a Queen!- or some shit, that will surely hook in some sales"
