Chapter 200 Contra Released

Time flies quickly. After September, although it is close to the world economy that affected the entire mid-to-late 1980s in Jester's memory and will have a profound impact on the Japanese economy more than ten years or even decades later, the signing of the Plaza Agreement for the Dead N Song Ten Years is very close, but Jester is not too worried, after all, it is useless for him to worry.

He invested a lot of money to enter the market and participate in the gambling market, and all of them were arranged properly. The person in charge of this matter can be said to be one of the strongest candidates in finance, and he was worried that it would be of no use.

Instead of focusing on these things that he can't help at all, it's better to continue to develop the game.

After delaying the release time of dreambox in Japan for a long time, it finally came to the East with the fans of Japanese. It was similar to what Jester had expected before. His game console will not have too bad results in Japan, but it will definitely not be too good, although he is very famous and has many fans.

But the Japanese are also famous for their conservatism and stubbornness.

In the half month of release, although Jester did a lot of work and even promoted it in the way of bundled games commonly used in later generations. With the influence of several of his own classic games, he still sold many machines. However, just like Nintendo's experience in the North American market, Mars Entertainment's machines are far from mainstream in Japan.

It doesn't matter whether this game is fun or not.

Looking at the report in his hand, Jester was also a little helpless. For the Japanese market, the only way is to cook porridge, simmer it on low heat, and subtly move it. In the end, they can change their daily habits. In Jester's heart, it is very difficult to completely defeat Nintendo. Because they have the Japanese market guarantee, they want to equalize Nintendo in the Japanese market. They may need to rely on an entire eight-bit computer era to accumulate fans and popularity, and then rely on sixteen-bit computers to establish the victory.

The preliminary preparations for Jester's new game "Heavy Fighter" have just begun to develop. For example, while the script creation and character establishment are established, the outside world has also begun to spread that the main game that Nintendo is fully developing will also be a future and science fiction theme. Moreover, the main producer is no longer recognized as Nintendo's number one designer Shigeru Miyamoto, but Yokoi Junhei, who has not participated in game development for a long time.

When he heard this news, the people in the development team under Jester thought that Nintendo wanted to make a future-themed RPG game just like they thought. Jester originally thought so, and even in his impression, he didn't remember any commendable future and space-themed RPG game, so he didn't care.

But when he knew that the main producer was Yokoi Kohei and Miyamoto Shigeru was just the deputy, he knew what the game Nintendo was making now.

As for the famous "Metropolis", Jester is naturally well-known, it can be said without hesitation that "Super Metroid" on SFC is one of the best games he has ever played. The game experience this game once brought him is unparalleled and unique.

At that time, Jester's horizons were wide open, and he also knew that the game could be made like this, and the next game that could shock him for a long time. After thinking about it, it may be that World of Warcraft, which has an immeasurable impact on mmorpg.

Now Jester still remembers the feeling he felt when he first played World of Warcraft. When he controlled the female human warrior to run from the North County Monastery to the Shepherd Town, and the hidden map lit up the moment he came to the Shepherd Town, and the location of Shepherd Town appeared on the map, he felt that there was a whole world waiting for him to explore.

It is hard to feel the shock without personally experiencing it.

However, "Metropolis" on FC cannot reach the height of "Super Metropolis" on SFC. It can even be said that it is far different. The two are not the same level of games. However, as he designed one game after another for samples based on his later game experience and classic games in later generations, it has long had a profound impact on the electronic game world in this world. For example, Shigeru Miyamoto's "The Legend of Zelda" is much better than the one he remembers.

In this case, with Yokoi Kohei and Miyamoto Shigeru, two producers who have endless inspiration for game design, and the best development team in the industry, no one knows what kind of Metroid they can produce.

But even if he is worried about this, it will be useless. After all, this is someone else's business. What he has to do now is to do his own good. As long as his "Heavy Installation Soldier" is completed according to his own ideas, he doesn't need to worry about Nintendo's tricks at all.

All conspiracies and tricks have turned into useless work when both sides are now bayonets. In this case, only a good game can gain a little advantage.

"Cooking Details" game for Sega has come to an end. Shirooshi Nakayama has also urged him several times. Judging from the recent work of Yu Suzuki asking the Japanese development team to work overtime continuously, he may have received a strict order from his president.

Although this game was not made for himself, it was named after all. Jester really wanted to make this game with the most self-created elements in this world, so he was also very dedicated. Sega's developer's level is also very high, and Yu Suzuki was a character who later became Sega's fight against Nintendo's top. The comprehension he showed also made Jester look at him with admiration.

After more than four months of production, this game is not a big production, but at the request of both parties, it has entered the final stage. There are not many things that Jester needs to worry about. Most of them are Yu Suzuki in charge of the final development work. Jaster is still very relieved about Yu Suzuki.

During this period when Jester was slightly silent, new games were also released in Mars Entertainment. After Sefer Daberwater established his own studio, with the help of Jester, the shooting game of the same name designed by "Contra" was finally officially released a month ago. For this work of Mars Entertainment's first studio, it naturally attracted all the attention of all parties.

And it seems that it has its own will in the dark. Nintendo's very innovative game "Jackie Chan Kicks the Hall" is also released at the same time. These two games are once again regarded by many as the second official confrontation between Mars Entertainment and Nintendo this year.

Jester has never experienced the "Contra" produced by Sefer Daberwater. Although he was not as busy as before, it was relatively speaking. He also spent nearly half a month on a trip with Claudia, so he didn't have much time to pay attention to it.

But half a year ago, after Jester's guidance, Cyfer Daberwater's ability to comprehend shooting games was amazing. As soon as his "Contra" was released, it immediately caused a sensation in the United States. For an American who has a special liking for shooting games, "Contra" is simply the best gift given to them by God.

This kind of game they have never experienced is so smooth that they can't stop playing, this hard-core hot-blooded shooting that is very consistent with American aesthetics, and it is not simple, but it is not completely invisible to see the difficulty of hope... These games, which combine all the advantages, are not as good as the sales frenzy of "Flame Emblem" that exceeded one million in a few days, were simply not a hot-selling score of more than 100,000 copies in a week. A week later, with its excellent reputation, it once again triggered a sales frenzy.

In just this month, the total shipments reached more than 1.4 million copies, and the sales momentum remained unabated, and it was very likely to exceed two million copies, or even hit a three million copies. After the crazy sales of "Flame Emblem" in the previous few months, the sales momentum has basically stopped. It can sell tens of thousands of copies every month, but the total sales of six million copies in the previous few months is still enough to be proud of the heroes.

The second-ranked sales is "Ballotelli's A World Adventure". Although this game that does not seem to be invisible, it has not experienced such a terrifying sales miracle as "Flame Emblem", it has won a fearful stability. Since its release, it has been stable at hundreds of thousands of monthly sales, and there is no sign of weakening. The total sales volume has reached 5.5 million. When the sales volume ended this month, it has exceeded 6 million of "Flame Emblem" and is basically a foregone conclusion.

As for the loss of "The Legend of Zelda", Nintendo's share in North America is too low, and they still rely on the Japanese market to increase sales. Now this game is basically no longer sold in the United States. However, in the Japanese market, although the newly added Dreambox has grabbed the territory, its sales momentum is still good, and the total sales have reached three million copies, making it the best-selling game Nintendo has so far.

As for the hot sales of "Contra", Nintendo's "Jackie Chan Kicks" is not so gratifying. Although this game is extremely innovative in design, it is too difficult to hesitate. In addition, with similar games such as "Avengers" of Mars Entertainment, it is not very good even in the Japanese market. In addition, Jackie Chan's unparalleled appeal in Japan, he sold more than 300,000 copies in the first month of its release.

Fortunately, this game is not a big production, so it is enough to make a profit.

In the eyes of outsiders, in the second round between Mars Entertainment and Nintendo, Nintendo once again lost. (To be continued)
