I want to make a game

"Hello. Is the president of your company here?"

Jin Shanshan, who was guest at the front desk, heard someone knocking on the door and raised her head to look at the glass door.

“can you speak English?”

She couldn't understand the Japanese spoken by outsiders.

As the director of Nintendo's overseas branch, Mitsuo Arakawa naturally has no problem speaking English.

After hearing him introduce herself as a Nintendo employee, Jin Shanshan hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.

In the past, she never paid much attention to games, and she didn't understand the meaning of Nintendo. But during this time in Hong Kong, she has already understood what kind of company Nintendo is.

After sending Minoru Arakawa to the living room under cover, she took Minoru Arakawa's business card and hurried to find Liu Zhiyuan. She did not alert anyone else in the process, because she knew that Liu Zhiyuan now worked for Sega, and Nintendo and

Sega is a sworn enemy.

Arakawa Minoru was sitting in the living room, feeling more and more that his trip was in vain. Because he just saw Oda Hagoromo with his head down and busy, he still had a list of Sega's generals in mind.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Liu Zhiyuan saw Jin Shanshan coming in in a hurry and asked.

"The people from Nintendo are here."

Jin Shanshan handed over the business card.

After taking the business card and looking at it, Minoru Arakawa and Jerry Liu, the director of Nintendo North America's NOA, were silent.

Minoru Arakawa, as the boss of a game development company, it is impossible for him not to know this name.

The performance of Nintendo's North American legal representative, NOA director, and even the North American NOA division once surpassed that of Nintendo of Japan.

Although he does not understand game production, it does not mean that he is not important in Nintendo. GAME BOY, Tetris, saving N64, and sweeping away Nintendo's decline, these are his masterpieces.

"I didn't expect to meet you so soon."

Liu Zhiyuan put down his business card and thought carefully about the purpose of Minoru Arakawa's visit.

After a few minutes, he put down his thoughts, got up and went to the living room where Arakawa Minoru was.

"Sorry, Arakawa-kun, for the long wait. Some very important things have just been dealt with."

When Minoru Arakawa saw Liu Zhiyuan, he couldn't help but be surprised. He was so young. In just six months, such a young man created several classic games that attracted huge amounts of money.

"It doesn't matter. I'm just rude and didn't contact your company in advance."

After the simple greetings, Arakawa Minoru said.

"I wonder what President Liu thinks of Nintendo?"

"The dictator of the home console market."

Liu Zhiyuan told the truth.

"However, due to the existence of President Liu, Nintendo's home console market has become somewhat unstable recently."

Liu Zhiyuan looked like he was being praised, but he didn't believe a word of it in his heart. Monster Wars has indeed become a phenomenon-level game, and even SMS has cleared a batch of inventory.

However, the total sales volume of SMS is not even half of that of FC. It is only the game Monster Wars that is popular, not the SMS console. Nintendo's home console market is still unbreakable.

If it really had an impact on the FC market, it would be impossible for Minoru Arakawa to be like this. Nintendo would have taken action against him long ago. To put it bluntly, Nintendo is not afraid of a phenomenal game.

So what if it surpasses Super Mario? Super Mario 3 is about to be released. In Nintendo’s perception, it will be easy to overtake the monsters in the battle.

"Liu Jun, if your Monster Battle is released on Nintendo's platform, what do you think the sales will be like?"

No matter what, Liu Zhiyuan said secretly in his heart, it is impossible for you to abandon the image of Super Mario, and you will not watch Monster Wars sell far better than Super Mario.

You will definitely adopt restrictive measures. Arakawa Minoru treats him as an inexperienced child. How can a company's image be ruined? Especially if it falls due to internal competition.

Of course, there is no need to tell Arakawa this. Regardless of whether Nintendo restricts him or not, he will never join the Nintendo camp.

"Beyond Super Mario in one month?"

Arakawa Minoru nodded seriously.

"That's right. Liu Jun and Sega have worked hard to build momentum for Yokai Wars, a phenomenal game. The result is that it has been three months and it has not surpassed Super Mario. Moreover, the sales of Yokai Wars have recently begun to drop significantly.

The best result is probably a tie with Super Mario."

"This kind of thing can't happen at Nintendo."

The sales of Monster Wars have indeed plummeted recently, and they are at a cliff. But Liu Zhiyuan is really not panicking, because he has studied various information about players, and many people have discovered the real gameplay of Monster Wars.

There will definitely be a small upward trend afterwards, and one million units will be sold in a few days. This is unrealistic, but it is still no problem to surpass Super Mario.

He also didn't trust Heaven for not discovering the core gameplay of Monster War, and it was just bullying him because he was young and ignorant.

The two of them chatted for a long time about the topic of the monster war, and Minoru Arakawa suddenly mentioned it.

"I wonder if Liu Jun has considered coming to Nintendo?"

Liu Zhiyuan pretended to be thinking and thought for a while before speaking.

"Arakawa-kun should know my current status in Sega. Although I have not yet entered Sega's top third party, it is just because I am still young. I will definitely be able to sit in the front row of Sega next year."

"What can Nintendo give me?"

"I believe Mr. Liu has heard of the Five Tigers of Nintendo. Nintendo doesn't mind the title of the Six Tigers."

Liu Zhiyuan smiled.

"It's also the company's top-level treatment. I started my career at Sega from the beginning. Even if I join Nintendo, the impact of this gap is still huge. Why should I risk my reputation to get the same treatment?"

Arakawa Minoru shook his head and said frankly.

"Let's not talk about the big gap between the platforms of Nintendo and Sega. Let's just talk about you, Liu Jun, you are too successful."

"Everyone is here to find fault with these three arcade games, plus Monster Wars and Poké Ball. You are so successful, so successful that you think that business wars are just about making good games and getting the rewards you deserve."

Minoru Arakawa then said a name that he thought could scare Liu Zhiyuan.

"Super Mario 3 will be released next year. I don't know if your new game can resist Liu Jun. If sales are dismal, I don't know if you can maintain Sega's top third-party position."

"The most important thing is that Nintendo not only has Super Mario, but also Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and The Legend of Zelda. I don't know if Liu Jun's game jointly developed with Sega can withstand it."

Liu Zhiyuan smiled inwardly. Of course he knew that Super Mario 3 would be released next year, and his Might and Magic was aimed at Super Mario 3.

The games are not on the same level, and the consoles are even more different. Apart from feelings, he really can't think of any other advantages of Super Mario 3.

Liu Zhiyuan can already imagine that kind of scene in Super Mario 3's Waterloo. As for Final Fantasy? Let's wait until the PS comes out. As for the current Final Fantasy, One-Head Enemy is all about improving it.
