Super Game Empire

Even Yan Xiong Inoue and Zhang Guoqiang couldn't stand it anymore when he packaged the overall decision to sell arcade games. He really couldn't bear it.

The games that Yang Yun just mentioned were made after he took over Sega, and it did not include Sega's original gunfight shooting, racing simulation, and game content provided by other game companies for Sega's OEM.

No one is willing to sell this prosperous arcade department. In their opinion, Longteng’s arcade is at the peak of his career and his future prospects are immeasurable!

But is this really the case?

Yang Yun was also very painful to make this decision. He finally made these classic games. He really couldn't bear to sell them. The one he couldn't bear to be the King of Fighters series.

But arcade games are almost sunset industries, and it is known that everyone knows that a famous player earns less than 10 million US dollars, King of Fighters earns more, 30 to 40 million, but that's it, and the future improvement is better.

The space is very limited.

How many classic arcade games can be launched next?

In Yang Yun's opinion, there are six games such as Samurai Soul, Metal Warhead, Dinosaur Kombat, Journey to the West, The Three Kingdoms War Chronicle, Caijing 1945, such as Vacuum Cleaner Kid, Miracle Three-in-One, Iron Hook

Yang Yun even lacks the interest in developing the games that Captain, Punisher, Haoxue Temple, and Leilong.

Of course, it is not included in the drum machines, dancing machines, gun battle games, and racing games in large amusement halls in later generations. Yang Yun himself rarely played those things. One is because they were too expensive, and the other is because they really lacked interest.

After PC became popular, there are too many games that players can choose from. Who would still play these in the amusement hall?

Yang Yun clearly remembered that after the large-scale popularization of the arcade simulator on the PC side, Capcom's cps series substrates and SNK's neogeo substrates were all cracked. Who would go to the arcade room to play?

The development of PC technology has made traditional electronic games more popular, and the first arcade games will collapse. Games on platforms such as FC, sfc, and md will be ported to PC one after another. After 2000,

These low-end TV game platforms will also be discontinued one after another and disappear.

In addition, Yang Yun didn't want to be distracted from doing arcade games because in the next two or three years, Sega had to face another terrifying opponent, Sony's PS!

Why did PS destroy Nintendo's SFC as soon as it was launched? Even N64 suffered consecutive setbacks, and the entire TV game market was seized by Sony's PS series?

The 32-bit processor and high-performance image processing are one aspect. The most important point is that PS has thousands of games. It directly defeated Nintendo's so-called game quality management system, leaving Nintendo with a total of hundreds of game platforms.

In an instant, it turned into a slag with combat power of 5.

How can I play this with thousands and hundreds?

4,000 games have hit, let alone Nintendo. Even Yang Yun can't stand it. This is completely unwilling to take the Atari bankruptcy incident seriously!

But as a rising star, the newly-entered Sony Games doesn't have to worry about these things at all. In Sony's view, Nintendo's quality management system makes monopoly profits extremely terrifying. Hiroshi Yamauchi holds $1 billion in cash, which is unimaginable to Sony.

Something!

Moreover, Sony is a hardware-selling company.PS will be integrated with Sony Home Cinema and Sony Multimedia Center in the future. What is a game department? It doesn’t matter to destroy the entire game industry!

Games with thousands of PS platforms will only increase sales for PS. As for the life or death of competitors, who cares?

When the performance of the host increases, the sales volume of PS will increase, the price of the host will decrease, and the number of PS platform games will increase. This is a virtuous cycle.

Moreover, the preferences of players will also undergo earth-shaking changes. Arcade is destined to be popular again in the next two years, and then it will slowly move from the highest peak to decline. Five years or ten years, gradually being forgotten.

.

Yang Yun planned to sell at the peak of his career and sell it at a good price, so he had to find a way to convince these people!

"Don't be impatient, please listen to me."

Yang Yun knocked on the table and said, "I want to sell arcade games, not cut off the entire department. I am going to package and sell all the R&D and subsequent versions of all the games accumulated by Sega and Longteng over the years, and all the developers

Go to another department.”

"Sega's hardware laboratory is preserved, and all substrate technologies are not sold or transferred. We are simply a hardware supplier to buyers, del-2 and 3, and 64 Nao fans have also preserved the substrate research.

, and accelerate the research and development of 32 and 64-bit TV game consoles. Ten years later, twenty years later, 128 and 256-bit CPU development, as fast as our substrate research will be!”

"The software development department of arcade games was abolished and all of them were merged into Fengyun Game Software Company, and we are working hard to develop TV game consoles, because we are about to meet another extremely powerful competitor, that is Sony Games!"

Speaking of this, everyone was surprised. Yang Yun waved his hand and said, "I will talk about Sony's matter later. I want to talk about the arcade game sales plan. I think so. I will take two years to develop.

Six new arcade games are released, including King of Fighters series and Three Kingdoms series. Don’t stop developing subsequent versions of these arcade games.”

Wang Zhe was shocked: "Developing eight arcade games in two years? This is not in line with the style of arcade game companies. Even if you have good creativity, you can launch at most two games a year, such as our Longteng, with high-quality games.

Many companies can’t make one in two years!”

Zhao Yongping thought: "I understand, this is why it will be sold within two years. We will make our arcade games the highest in the industry, and then sell them in a package, sell them at a sky-high price, and then take them out and work hard with Nintendo.

, and there is also this Sony game competition!”

"You are right!" Yang Yun was very satisfied. Sure enough, Zhao Yongping was the first person to understand his meaning: "Don't be blinded by the prosperity in front of you. The decline of large arcades is an inevitable trend, and there are also calls from the Japanese media industry.

The sound of teenagers staying away from the arcade hall, our arcade department’s profits have never been increased, so why bother holding it tightly and not letting go?”

Shiroozuo Nakayama was still angry and said in anger: "If you really want to sell it, Director Kobayashi and I will buy it privately!"

Yang Yun laughed: "President Zhongshan! My offer is not cheap! It is sold at the peak of the arcade business. This price is not as cheap as tens of millions and one or two billion US dollars. Have you considered it? It takes two years

Inside, we will destroy the arcade games of Capcom and Snk, forcing all competitors in the arcade game industry to kill them. After we become a monopoly company, we will list them for sale. The final price must include this market monopoly price!"

Everyone was shuddered when they heard this. When they thought of that scene, the vest was a layer of cold sweat. The global arcade market size was billions of dollars. The only monopoly overlord was sold as a whole. Isn’t this a sky-high price, and what?

But who can eat such a big platter?

"Who are you going to sell to?" Shikio Nakayama was a little discouraged. He couldn't afford it for billions of dollars.

"That's right, Mr. Yang, since we can all achieve monopoly, even if the arcades reach a recession, we can just keep doing this industry until the disappearance. Why do we need to sell it?" Wang Zhe had a headache when he thought about it.

It is easy to make arcades bigger and stronger, and become the peak of the industry. Mr. Yang actually wants to sell them. Is this a sudden retreat or a reckless decision?

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Let's see when the time comes, whoever bids higher, I will sell to whom I can't eat, I will split it up to multiple companies and sell it according to the type and quantity of the game, which is higher than the overall packaged price.

!”

In fact, Yang Yun most wants to sell it to people in the Nintendo and Sony camps, or simply some jealous hardware manufacturers, such as Philips and Panasonic. If they fail, they will split the arcade department and sell it back to China, so that the animation and game industry park will be allowed to be

The company took over the market, allowing them to squeeze out the last bit of residual heat in the arcade industry.

In my memory, before 2000, the business of arcade game halls in China was very popular, but there were special reasons.

Chinese arcades are basically all motherboard games of cps and neogeo, and there are almost no games in Sega del series, because these two low-end motherboards are easy to crack. Chinese piracy experts are best at doing this kind of thing, and almost cracking all cards.

Pukong and snk games.

Many people have played a street fighter who consumes fuel and releases 10 qigong waves, or a dinosaur flare with infinite bullets, or a Battle of the Three Kingdoms Red Cliff with a holy sword as soon as they were born. These are the credits of pirated versions.

China's economy lags behind developed capitalist countries for ten or twenty years, and the game is also lagging behind for so long. It has become an arcade in both Japan and Europe and the United States, but it has been developing hotly for 10 years in China until the seventh year after 2000.

Ministry ban.

Now Yang Yun's rebirth has changed this pattern. Capcom and SNK's good games have basically been snatched away by Sega. The substrate of the del series has not been cracked until 2014. The game cannot be simulated yet. PC simulator is more

There is no place to download it, which means that there is no large-scale pirated arcade in the Chinese domestic market. If you want to play arcades, you can only sell the genuine Sega substrate.

In addition, Tian Haoqiang and his group of counterfeit cracking experts have been incorporated by Yang Yun. The Chinese animation and game industry have received national support. Who dares to risk going to jail to pirate Longteng's products?

Unless Yang Yun splits the arcade department to domestic companies, arcades will not be widely popular in China. This is the butterfly effect brought by Yang Yun! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and more
