Rebirth 86: I use games to kick open the door to the world

Now Akira Nakamura can accept the fact that Zuozhen released three games in one breath relatively calmly.

Maybe his threshold has been raised a bit before.

Let’s not talk about Fire Emblem and Double Dragon for now.

If Squirrel Wars produces a second part, even if it can only maintain the level of the first part and tell a brand new story and adventure, then it will definitely sell millions of copies.

The sequel has a very strong vitality.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many game companies frantically developing sequels after a successful series.

Due to the recent popularity of The Legend of Zelda, the company is already preparing to start developing a new Legend of Zelda, as well as Metroid.

Not to mention Super Mario, their latest Super Mario is already in the development process.

"Zuo Zhensang, I don't know if you are in a hurry now. Our team needs to discuss it carefully. It is quite scary for you to come up with three games in one go."

Akira Nakamura can accept Zuozhen's abnormal game production ability, but others in the company may not be able to accept it.

He had to find a way to convince others.

"No problem. I will stay here for three or four days. There should be no problem in negotiating."

"Of course, this time is completely enough. In fact, you only need to wait for an hour or two, and you may be able to get results."

"That's it, then I'll just wait."

"Okay, then I will arrange a place for Zuo Zhensang to rest and have a good rest. You wait for my good news."

Akira Nakamura raised his legs and left the office. Zuo Zhen was bored staying alone in this office, so he simply asked Akira Nakamura to find him a common room.

After arranging the rest room for Zuo Zhen, Nakamura Akira took the game to the senior management for discussion.

For a game, he can make the final decision by himself to produce the game's cartridge quota.

But three games in one breath still need to be discussed.

Moreover, he couldn't wait to show his results to others.

Zuo Zhen is his best partner now. As long as he is here in the future, Zuo Zhen will be able to continue to provide NGS with high-quality games.

In the lounge, Zuo Zhen looked at the magazines provided in the lounge boredly.

There are the latest game magazines and some social news newspapers here. It is also convenient to understand the current social situation in Japan through this article.

After reading the newspaper, one word appeared throughout the article: sudden wealth.

Now Japan is in the stage of getting rich suddenly, and it looks completely arrogant.

Perhaps it was because he had kept his head down for too long. After finally gaining a certain status on the world stage, people in the entire society began to become jealous.

To describe it, he has the temperament of a nouveau riche, with no cover-up at all.

However, most people in Japan do not realize that their current resources and wealth are provided by the United States.

The United States can give and it can take back.

Zuo Zhen is quite familiar with this period of history. It is more or less a well-known event in the world, that is, the bursting of the Japanese economic bubble.

It won't take more than a few years.

From the perspective of a latecomer, Zuo Zhen feels that Japan is seeking his own death no matter how he looks at it.

But this has nothing to do with me.

After reading the newspaper for a while, Zuo Zhen put it aside and started reading game-related magazines.

Recently, BEEP magazine has become more and more popular, and Zuo Zhen also noticed that BEEP magazine is no longer limited to NGS game consoles.

In BEEP magazine, you can also see some game console types other than NGS.

The most conspicuous one should be Sega's game console.

Sega launched its latest hardware product last year, which has 1.5 times the performance of NGS, and invites game developers to develop games on their platform.

However, the dominance of NGS is so terrifying that Sega has no ability to resist at all. Last year, it tried to enter the US market several times, but was defeated by NGS.

But Sega obviously did not admit defeat and continued to challenge again and again.

It's a pity that Sega was just a flash in the pan after all. In the later period, it did have the ability to overpower Nintendo, but later it still collapsed on its own, and finally had to give up the game console business and specialize in making games.

Then it became a world-renowned Pachinko gambling machine manufacturer, and a Japanese game manufacturer that also owns some well-known game IPs such as Yakuza and Hatsune Miku.

The scale is neither big nor small, and it has been barely surviving.

Zuo Zhen turned the page and saw the latest game review chapter.

In the New Year's special issue of the magazine, the editor listed several of the most recommended games from last year.

Among them, the games of NGS own account for half of the country, and then there are the manufacturers that specialize in producing games on NGS.

Among them, Zuo Zhen saw the names of his three games.

'Contra, a game that makes you unwilling to put down the controller after you pick it up. The feeling of blood flowing after entering the game, and the sense of accomplishment after defeating monsters again and again during the game. Owning this game is absolutely Excellent value for money. ’

‘Squirrel Wars, if you think the last game is not suitable for children, then this cartoon side-scrolling game produced by the same producer is your best choice. ’

'Rockman, I swear this is the most interesting side-scrolling adventure game I have ever seen. This game is between adults and children. Everyone of all ages can find their own fun in this game. At the same time, this game The game also has a very grand proposition: whether artificial intelligence and humans can coexist peacefully, this may also be a revelation for future humans. ’

Zuo Zhen found that this magazine seemed to have become his own flatterer.

No, it should be said that full-time editor Kenji Ozawa has become his biggest fan.

The games he recommended most in the recommendation list just now are all three games by Zuo Zhen.

And he gave very high evaluations.

Well, I can meet this editor again in the evening and have a good chat.

After reading the magazine, Zuo Zhen looked at another magazine.

After seeing the title on the magazine cover, his expression changed slightly.

famitsu

This is a well-known game media in the game industry.

I had not discovered this magazine before, and Zuo Zhen thought that there was no such magazine in this parallel world, but it seemed that it had just emerged recently.

It seems that BEEP has a rival.

Zuo Zhen raised his hand to get the magazine.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of cursing at the door.

"NGS is such a bastard! They actually increased the royalty amount by 5% this year. They are simply sucking the blood out of our developers!"

"There is nothing we can do. Who allows them to have the best gaming platform in the world? We can only hold our noses and admit it."

Zuo Zhen's ears twitched, and then he looked towards the door.
