Game Development Giant

After Jester and Naka Yuji pressed the switches of two different game consoles at the same time, the two snowflake images split into two on the big screen behind them changed instantly, and then the one showing FC appeared first. After seeing the game selection screen, another blink of an eye later, an almost identical screen appeared on the other half of the screen of the dreambox connected to Mars Entertainment. ?. .

Seeing such a scene, the audience in the audience quickly changed from curiosity to shock, and then cheered instantly.

"Is your new game machine compatible with Nintendo games?" There are even some imaginative players who have made such unrealistic exclamations, because this is really the most impossible thing. Two people are attacking each other, and Will gaming companies that will become sworn enemies in the foreseeable future have their games compatible with each other?

Anyone with any semblance of intelligence knows this is nonsense.

Then, Jester and Naka Yuji each held controllers belonging to different game consoles and started the game.

"Donkey Kong" is not a new game. Many American players have experienced its charm in arcades. This time, through the two large screens that were divided and compared, they saw it again. This was a very familiar picture to them. Jester and Naka Yuji mainly demonstrated the function of this gadget to the audience, so they did not play for too long. They just indicated that after a few minutes of playing, Jester took the initiative to die and stopped the game. , then he turned around and looked at the excited audience below the stage, ready to tell his answer.

Of course, there are also many people who have a deep understanding of programming who guessed what this was when they saw Jester and Naka Yuji's demonstration just now.

And even those who don't know much about programming. Everyone also knows that Jester is demonstrating something - this is a magical thing that can play other game console games on their game console. This is something they have never seen before. The most important thing is how do they do it? How did you do it or how did you come up with the idea of ​​making such a thing?

"As you can see, this is a simulator." Jester said the answer with a smile, his tone was very calm. "But it may be different from what you think. This thing is just a sudden inspiration of several employees when we were developing our own console, and it was only possible to complete it because it was fun to do it. Because it is impossible for us to sell this thing It's something, which means we can't make a profit from it." You show us something like this just to tell us that you won't sell it? Then why are you showing me this thing?

"Because it is obviously incorrect to use an emulator to simulate another company's game. We only do it out of personal curiosity, but it will never be used for any commercial purposes, although I can only demonstrate it here. "Donkey Kong", but I can guarantee that all the games sold on FC so far can be simulated almost perfectly through our simulator. The actual effect is different from the simulation of "Donkey Kong" you have seen before. There is no difference."

"Of course, we are conducting simulation after all, and the speed is a little slower than FC, but it basically won't affect the game, just like what you just saw. It's just that the speed of entering the game is slower than FC by just a blink of an eye. of effort.”

As he spoke, Jester walked to his dreambox, unplugged the simulator plugged into it, and then lifted the not-so-small simulator to his chest.

"I don't think I need to say it. Everyone knows that only when your machine's performance is better than that of another game console, can you simulate the decoding method of this console, so that it can only be used on this console. The game program decoded by the host runs on another host using a completely different decoding method. This principle is as simple as that only a bucket larger than the original bucket can hold the original bucket."

Then, Jester began to briefly introduce the simulator in his hand.

"To be honest, this demo emulator project is just a temporary addition. We have no original plan. The reason why I demo this emulator is to tell every player who wants to buy our game console that our games The console is better than the best console in the world."

After saying this, everyone including Jester laughed involuntarily.

"This is why I want to demonstrate such a small tool to you before the press conference officially starts. There is no other reason. Or you can think that this is just a small adjustment before the press conference starts, or you can think of it as our Just showing off our console.”

"If you think this way, I can tell you clearly, yes, we are just showing off. Our Dreambox is extremely cool, and it is better than some companies still showing off with outdated consoles. A functional gaming console is much better!”

"You won't regret buying our console."

Faced with Jester's provocative words, the audience cheered loudly without fear of chaos.

But there are still many viewers in the audience, who have great opinions on Jester's words that they will never sell the FC emulator for Dreambox, but these people also know that selling emulators can only be delusional, but It’s exciting to think about being able to play games from two game companies on one console.

Faced with such a situation, Jester naturally knows what to do. How to get some gamers excited again? There is no doubt that the game that can make them excited is announced.

Then Jester asked Naka Yuji to step down and began to give those slightly disappointed people below the stage a shot in the arm.

"Why do everyone look so disappointed? Can't we use our emulator to play another game company's game? Stop joking, okay? What we want to do is the best game, why do you want to play other games? What about the company? For example, look at this!"

As he spoke, Jester took out a black cassette from the side, and at the same time, a close-up of the cassette in his hand appeared on the big screen.

"Snow Brothers".

Seeing the cute red and blue snowman on the cassette sticker, coupled with the glittering game title, the audience finally got rid of the somewhat disappointing atmosphere just now. Only then did they remember that they In front of them is the best game company in the world, with one game after another that they have become addicted to.

Then, before the audience could react more specifically, Jester quickly threw the cassette aside and picked up another one. At this time, the big screen behind him once again appeared. Close-up of the cassette in Jester's hand.

"American Cube".

Then, Jester kept showing them game cartridges one after another, "Zuma", "Bubble Bobble", "Chief Balotelli"... one after another they were familiar with. The moment the game appears, the players in the audience burst into cheers.

They have played these games in the arcade countless times, and they are extremely addicted to them. More than one of them has had such an idea, it would be great if I could move this arcade home, but the fact is that once The price of an arcade machine is too expensive, and it can only play one game, which is not cost-effective.

But despite this, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of many wealthy players. According to statistics from Fengxing Publishing Company, there are at least two thousand independent players who have purchased their arcade base version.

And now, their dream has become a reality.

"Yes, for only a small amount of money, you can bring your arcade home, and more than one!"

Jester put down the game cartridge in his hand, clapped his hands, and then gradually raised his voice, "This is not just a piece of cake. We have done something very unique in every port of our arcade games." Improvement, so that you won’t feel much difference in experience between playing the game on a home game console and playing it on an arcade machine, but you will always find something new that is completely different from the arcade machine, which can be regarded as an Easter egg , as for what it is, everyone needs to explore on their own.”

At this time, a very front player shouted with dissatisfaction: "Are you just preparing these games for your game console that we have played for several months and even made us vomit? No matter what you do, In defense, no matter how fancy you say, this is simply a piece of cake with no new ideas!"

Although there are no speakers, the young player's voice is really loud, and at least many people around him can hear him.

Facing all the games that Jester just threw out that they have played in the arcade, although they also want to take these games home to play, if they have already played them, it will be so fresh. It will inevitably decline, and when you release your first game console, you won’t just release these ported games, right?

Therefore, many people who agreed with this player also shouted out.

In the end, almost everyone's voices converged into two extremely clear words, new games, we want new games.

Give us brand new games! )
