Super Game Empire

Soon, the reporters were divided into two groups, one group of people playing the game in person, and the other people had no place, so they could only interview Sega's senior management.

The assistants stopped him, Yang Yun waved his hand and said lightly: "Old rules, during the carnival, it is only a demonstration and release of new products. The press conference will be held later. Please be careful not to be impatient! However, considering the fun and popularity of King of Fighters

,We set up 20 game consoles in the game hall. It’s too late to go, but we can’t get rid of those players!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away with a loud bang.

All the manufacturers who watched the fun in the audience looked at each other and Sega's ordinary fans looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

On the rostrum, Yang Yun and Shiroo Nakayama looked at each other and laughed. This scene means that the King of Fighters has successfully attracted the attention of the media!

Shiroo Nakayama stood up, smiled and shouted loudly: "Please enjoy Sega's game carnival! Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!" Hundreds of people shouted, and the carnival amusement officially began!

This year, Sega has achieved great harvests in all fields. If you have the money to organize all this, the Carnival is very exciting!

In addition to food and wine, unlike previous carnivals, countless pokemon cartoon cosplays have been added this year. All Sega’s game characters are present this year, making the entire venue a sea of ​​games.

The four-player group of famous generals who collided with high technology and real kung fu in the future, specially invited Nordic King Arthur from Denmark and his three round table warriors, China's Five Tiger Generals, and Wei's Five Sons. Many characters gathered in the game as a unit.

Together, interact with the players, sign, take photos, and give small gifts.

Of course, the most crowded are the pokemons led by Pikachu. There were more than 30 popular elves present, and more than 100 people wanted to come in, but unfortunately the number was limited...

The most annoying thing is of course the stupid bird. It should be that I know that I am not popular and that I will definitely be beaten. The costume props of the actor are the largest and thickest. I have to take three steps.

Gasp, her whole body was covered with extremely thick cushioning cotton.

Sure enough, almost everyone passing by would punch or kick the bird in the head. Watching the bird fall to the ground and never get up from beginning to end, it can be seen that the players are really

It’s hard to relieve the hatred in my heart!

The King of Fighters' cosplay is not available for the time being. There is no need to appear in such a hurry at Sega's carnival. There is still one and a half months to Valentine's Day. They will fight Capcom and have fun and see what it is.

Who apologizes and who closes down!

In an instant, Yang Yun thought of the carnival a year ago. He participated in the game with Dragon Warrior and Suicides for the first time. He won the Best Rookie Award from Sega and became a strategic partnership with Sega. He released Contra

, received the reward from Sega. The scene at that time is vivid in my mind, and when I think about it, I feel quite emotional.

This year, I will summarize it in one word, that is danger.

Taking advantage of the Japanese stock market crash, he took huge risks to increase volume from suppliers around the world at a low price, spent tens of millions of dollars to quietly absorb Sega stocks, and finally got 10% of the shares. The ending was satisfactory, but in this case

Only the word "danger" can be expressed in this process.

Then he challenged Capcom, competed for fighting games, and fought for the status of the King of Fighting Games, which was also dangerous.

With the hardware substrate not determined, the background story and character design not determined, and even Yang Yun only remembers a few names and appearances, he dared to make a decision with Capcom for one year without even understanding SNK.

Betting, setting a bet of 100 million yen, and then poaching and recruiting is also a risk.

Then he was burdened with hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, suppressing Sega's stock price, fighting openly and secretly, killing them to the death, and finally controlling Sega. How could this process be described in one word of danger?

Sales gamegear, after many difficulties, hardware setbacks, software discomforts, several delays in listing dates, and internal strife with other Sega directors. Because of negligence, Nintendo made a quarrel in Sega, and finally could not

It can be solved dangerously.

In the second half of the year, SNK attacked the arcade market and launched a new substrate. Nintendo was not willing to be outdone and released SFC with a kingly aura, selling 2 million units per month, almost causing a severe blow to Sega's Japan!

Fortunately, Yang Yun responded in time and used the round table samurai arcade and md transplant version to save many Sega customers. He recruited more game software suppliers in the form of free admission, firmly defending the Japanese market, and finally got the original one.

After adding up the dominant North American market, it is calculated that the global share of 32% of the total market.

After waiting for the clouds to clear and the sunrise, after the second half of the year, Sega and Longteng were finally relieved!

Pokemon contributed the most, with Gamegear, achieving sales of 4.2 million copies, reaching a turnover of nearly $500 million!

In addition, Pokemon comics and magazines, game peripheral dolls, joint production with large companies such as the American Hamburger King, KFC, and Wal-Mart, authorized the image of Pokemon, etc., which generated about $50 million in revenue.

Miyazaki's Pokemon anime movie will be aired in March 1991, and it is estimated that another wave of monsters will be set off.

The Three Kingdoms, Three Kingdoms Kill, bang!, all kinds of game peripherals, the American Longteng Toy Company provided a profit of approximately US$70 million.

There is also KTT, a joint venture between Tetris and Super Mary, which also distributed more than $20 million in dividends to KTT this year.

In addition, at the domestic autumn Canton Fair, Longteng Company, which unified the Chinese domestic market, once again won an order of US$150 million. Such results are already common. If Longteng's turnover is less than US$100 million, then

It will make people across the country feel strange!

He is debt-free and light. Although the money he earned was basically returned to the bank and Parker brothers ea company, Yang Yun didn't care about it at all.

There are several cash cow products, and now Longteng Company’s finances are quite healthy!

The $40 million R&D expense mentioned by Nakayama just now is exaggerated. The six-year employee salary was established in Hong Kong to communicate with foreign fighters. It was only 40 million yuan in full swing. Yang Yun was still the only one who made a living.

The salary is calculated.

Among the 124 developers, 100 of them were all figures affiliated with the King of Fighters project team. They were slightly beaten and those who gave lunch boxes were included.

The planning team traveled to 24 countries and regions around the world, that is, Yang Yun went abroad and visited Longteng's major sales outlets around the world.

It was true that it took 10 months. The King of Fighters has always been in Yang Yun's memory, saying that it would be fine after 10 years.

After half a year of rest, Longteng and Sega felt comfortable, but some people were uncomfortable!

The first person who is uncomfortable is Nintendo. The TV game console market is losing ground, and even SFC has no power to restore the world. It has not launched the North American version. With Japan's 1.98 million sales alone, I really don't dare to go with Sega on 16-bit computers.

Challenge.

Monster, Sega's games are all monsters!

Hiroshi Yamauchi, Kohei Yokoi, Shigeru Miyamoto, looked at the sales of Pokemon and was crying without tears!

In the past, Nintendo thought it was like a farce when Sega held a carnival every year. Unexpectedly, they were so disgusted by the past two years. Last year it was Conra, this year it was Pokemon, and next year it was probably even worse.

"President...Super Mary's handheld machine transplant has been completed. When will we launch it on Game Wavey?"

Shigeru Miyamoto could only work like this. If he didn't take action, it would be very likely that Game Boy would die at his own hands.

Yamauchi Hiroshi closed his eyes and said for a long time: "Are you dereliction of duty to let Mario fight on the battlefield alone?"

Shigeru Miyamoto and Junhei Yokoi were sweating profusely. This sentence was too lethal. It pointed out that they were inaction. Without the creation of new games, they could only rely on their old capital. One day they would be able to live in vain!

Recently, Nintendo has indeed fallen into a bottleneck. Hiroshi Yamauchi and Sony are jointly developing a new generation of game consoles with CD media, but Nintendo, who has always been arrogant, rejected Sony's patent charging requirements, which has caused a crack in the relationship between the two companies. Research on the host of the new Playstation has allowed

Neither company was happy.

In addition, Sega kept pulling Nintendo's hindrance behind him, occupying this market today, and another game will sell well tomorrow, which will make Nintendo frustrated, both sides will be frustrated, and neither end will be able to get it well.

The external instability, wars and internal mediocrity and stagnation made Hiro Yamauchi so anxious that he couldn't eat or sleep. The external troubles and internal troubles made him seem to have aged 10 years old and turned into an old man in his 60s.

Shigeru Miyamoto quickly admitted his mistake: "President, I know what to do! Next, I will transplant the classic games on Zelda and FC platforms as soon as possible, and urge various software suppliers to launch better games as soon as possible.

join in!"

Yokoi Junhei also stated: "I will speed up the progress of SFC's North American listing plan. In addition, I will continue to communicate with Ken Kutaraki for cooperation..."

Yamauchi was furious: "What are you talking about with Sony people? They asked for a 30% royalty fee from CD game sales, which is absolutely unacceptable to me!"

Yokoi Junhei looked bitter. Sony's request did touch Nintendo's interests, just like he encountered Hiroshi Yamauchi's tiger butt, of course he was furious.

Nintendo has always set game standards and charges game management fees from other manufacturers. Even the production costs of cartridges and other manufacturers are paid in advance. How could Nintendo suffer?

It's a joke to ask Nintendo to pay! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
