Super Game Empire

The president was hospitalized for rescue, and the chief designer of the R&D department committed suicide by jumping off the building. The rest of Capcom's employees were like frightened birds, worried and did not know what their future fate would be.

After learning that Yoshiki Okamoto committed suicide by jumping off the building, Moritakura, deputy head of the R&D department, did not sleep all night.

His eyes were full of blood, his eyes were dull, and his heart was full of reluctance. Looking at the street fighter project team with a disintegration of morale, his heart was filled with hostility.

They worked hard for nearly one year of research and development. Although there was no possibility of defeating King of Fighters 91, this was also the result of the hard work of gathering Capcom's 12 best software engineers!

Street Fighter 2 is our best result and cannot be desecrated!

Moritakura called the team members over, slapped everyone on the back of the head, woke them up, and scolded: "Can we do nothing if the president is not here? Without Okamoto's team leader, we must

Kneel down to your opponent and beg for mercy?"

A team member asked sadly: "What should we do? Forced to launch Street Fighter 2? Perform that bet? It's not us who make the decision!"

"Baga!" Moritakura was furious: "If the president is hospitalized, we cannot take the initiative to share the burden for him? If you have any good ideas, you can tell me, and I will state it to him in person!"

But when people's hearts are dispersed, the team is difficult to lead, and there is no backbone to take charge, Capcom is like a piece of disarray.

After a team member made several suggestions that were not painful and itchy, Moritakura no longer expected them. He gritted his teeth and said to everyone: "When Chinese game companies are invading, they may have to ignore past grudges..."

Leaving past grudges? Should I ask for help from Nintendo? Or surrender directly to Sega? Or...

"The president... maybe this is the only way to truly fight against the King of Fighters..."

Kenzo Tsujimoto was out of danger of his life. After receiving the doctor's permission, Moritakura met the old man and talked about Capcom's business these days.

Okamoto Yoshiki was dead, so the bet was naturally impossible to achieve. Capcom exchanged for temporary stability at the cost of a life, and it is not known whether it was a blessing or a disaster.

Moreover, this is just a small defeat in the fighting game, and it will not affect Capcom's overall operating conditions. At worst, Capcom's heroes will cut their wrists, avoid the edge of Fengyun Games, and no longer enter the production of fighting game.

But when Kenzo Tsujimoto heard Moritakura's suggestion, he became excited instantly. The data of the monitoring instruments around him rose rapidly. It triggered the alarm setting, which caused the doctor and nurse to come over quickly and rudely drove away Moritakura by the bed to make the patient.

Carry out emergency treatment.

Seeing the angry family members dragging Moritakura out, Kenzo Tsujimoto struggled to raise his hand and signaled his children to let him go.

Kenzo Tsujimoto was not unreasonable, but because he was too excited, he couldn't help but feel angry.

Moritakura made a suggestion of not taking grudges, but it turned out to cooperate with SNK to develop a fighting game!

This is a good move. With the brand reputation of the Street Fighter series and SNK's fighting game design experience, the two companies work together to fight games on a double 16-bit substrate that is not much inferior to the 32-bit independent substrate.

And there is still about one year to buffer, and the new fighting game created by cooperation may not necessarily fall at the disadvantage of King of Fighters!

But in terms of feelings, Kenzo Tsujimoto could not accept it at all!

One reason is that SNK's Ryohiko Takado was his mortal enemy before. The two fought to the death in IRM, and finally ended with Kenzo Tsujimoto leaving. He couldn't stand this anger.

Another reason is that Street Fighter is a brand carefully created by Capcom. It can be called the founder of fighting games. It is so popular that Ken Tsujimoto is reluctant to let go of it, let alone SNK, the former enemy!

"President...If this continues, I'm afraid the hearts of the whole company will be completely disintegrated..."

Morita Kura couldn't help crying and advised: "Now, the only one who can compete with Sega's 32-bit substrate is neogeo, and the only one who can compete with the King of Fighters in terms of fame is our Street Fighter. If we hesitate, Street Fighter 2 can be normal.

Launch it, but the negative impact is unbearable for us! If we maintain cooperation in the project situation, we will still retain a glimmer of hope for this brand…”

Everyone knows that the King of Fighters in Sega's 32-bit substrate cannot find any opponent at this stage. After a period of research, the game can even be made into a 3D effect. At that time, it is not possible for ordinary games to do it.

Comparable.

Capcom's Street Fighter 2 is not bad as usual, but if even King of Fighters 91 and King of Fighters 92 can be demonstrated in 3D, after the 2D game Street Fighter 2 on their 16-bit substrate comes out, wouldn't it stand in the arcade hall without anyone

Ask for your interest and show jokes?

How should Capcom break the deadlock? Should he invest money and continue to develop 16+16 substrates? So what if he has developed it? I wonder how many years have been behind Sega!

Could it be that the 32-bit substrate can be developed in one step? This sounds more like a joke!

Only before Sega 32-bit substrates became a climate, they cooperated with the slightly inferior 16+16-bit neogeo substrates to keep the Street Fighter brand first, otherwise who will remember them in another two or three years?

Kenzo Tsujimoto closed his eyes and fought violently in his heart. The data on the monitor became unstable again, but it was still within the control range, which made the people around him feel shocked.

Yoshiro Tsujimoto held his father's hand with a nervous look on his face. He also knew that the company was in a difficult situation now. It would be a bit cruel to make such a difficult decision to make such an old man lying on the hospital bed make a decision.

But no one except himself has the right to take out his life's hard work so easily, and hand it over to his former mortal enemy with his own hands!

I'm afraid that only the parties involved in the center of the storm vortex understand the deepest understanding!

After a long time, Kenzo Tsujimoto slowly opened his eyes: "Yanro, you and Moritakura should deal with this matter..."

Kenzo Tsujimoto gave in!

He agreed to take out the Street Fighter brand, share it with SNK, and create a fighting game that can compete with King of Fighters 91!

Pain is the first feeling, hatred is the second feeling, and complex emotions of sorrow and helplessness appear in everyone's heart.

Before this news came out, undercurrents were also flowing among the senior management of SNK.

Takado Ryohiko's fist was tightly pinched, and he almost bitten the lower lip and bleeding: "Fengyun! Sega! Shika Nakayama! I finally understood the feeling of Kenzo Tsujimoto seeing a ghost when the famous general was released! It turned out that this group of people

The Chinese are really devils!”

His deputy and the heads of various departments were helpless. They really didn't expect that Fengyun Game, which had just been established for a year, had no design foundation for fighting games. They were unknown when they didn't take action, and they would actually do this when they took action.

A fighting game!

Sega's substrate upgrade was as expected, but King of Fighters...

It's better if you don't want to, Gao Tang's head hurts. He said in person that Capcom and Fengyun are not as good as him. In this world, the strongest fighting game production company is SNK.

Now, I really don't know how to end.

As soon as the King of Fighters came out, SNK just needed to find someone to replace the protagonist Terry. The loss was quite small, but Gao Tang Liangyan knew that Capcom had suffered heavy losses, and he fell ill and died. He was unstable and changed jobs several times.

Struggling.

Gao Tang Ryohiko actually felt fear in his heart and did not dare to compete with Sega for the top spot. He wanted to retreat...

"President, Capcom sends us kindness, hoping to sit down together and discuss the fight against Sega together," said a vice president.

"President, Sega also sent someone to express his intentions to Shikao Nakayama. He hopes to invite you to dinner..." Another executive said.

"President, Nintendo..."

Bang!

"Enough!" Gao Tang Ryohiko slapped the table and sneered: "What are these people making? Don't I know in my heart? Except for Capcom, everyone else refused me!"

Everyone was so awesome. Recently, the president's temper has become increasingly fierce, and it seems to be on the verge of going wild.

Many companies all came to visit, and of course Gao Tang Ryohiko would pick up soft persimmons. From the bottom of his heart, he was full of fear of Sega and Nintendo. He only dared to face Capcom, the defeated player of that year, and he was also the defeated player of his subordinates.

son.

In the small reception living room, Takado Ryohiko welcomed Yoshiro Tsujimoto and Moritakura.

After asking about the old opponent's condition, Gao Tang Ryohiko sighed: "He is old, I am old, and the world belongs to you young people! Look at Sega, Fengyun, and that Longteng, they are all

A group of young people are in charge of the world!”

Yoshiro Tsujimoto's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant: "President Takado, in order to resist the invasion of Chinese fighting games, my father believes that Japanese companies should join forces and put aside the prejudices of the past. Our two companies cooperate to create a Japanese-style brand.

The local fighting game that competes with King of Fighters 91 is here.”

Gao Tang Ryohiko secretly sneered in his heart about Capcom's drunkenness, and put on a serious expression on the surface, asking: "How will Capcom cooperate?"

Yoshiro Tsujimoto said the plan: "Using the project situation, we can set up a third-party company to specialize in operating this fighting game, make it a combination of Street Fighter and Legend of Hunger, and run it on the neogeo substrate, with

King of Fighters Game Confrontation!”

Gao Tang Ryohiko's expressionless face: "No need to be so troublesome. Why don't you go back and discuss with your father, offer a price, I will buy the full copyright of Street Fighter. Or... the task of fighting the King of Fighters is handed over to me, you Cap

Sora keeps going to make his own game!”

Seeing his former mortal enemy now begging for him, Gao Tang Ryohiko was so proud that he was already happy! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better and faster!
