Contra, the spiritual food of a generation of players.

As soon as the game calendar "Contra Spirit" appeared in Japan, it naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Whether it's a current Nintendo fan, or a former fan.

Contra is a love of the past after all.

I have to say.

It was a good choice to release this game, which had been loved by countless players, at this critical time.

Many veteran Contra players have taken out their purses,

Maybe it's just for the feelings.

However, Contra, after all, has never disappointed players, has it.

In half a day, players who had been bombarded with advertisements for months really bought Contra's cassette.

Yes, Nintendo still uses cartridges to carry games.

Disc ?Nintendo still doesn't have it.

The reason is also not copied.

Insufficient technology accumulation,

It's not something you can use if you want to.

This is one of the reasons.

Another reason is that it is about profit.

Nintendo's profit on cartridges is more than the average gamer realizes.

Whether it's self-developed or a second third party's royalty terms.

Relying on this cooperation principle, Nintendo is as easy as drinking water to make money.

It is difficult to give up.

How much profit is from discs?

Just look at the Age of Miracles.

Profit-making is horribly low!

It is almost a selling price that breaks through the industry's floor price.

Nintendo, which made the latecomers hardly find its own foothold.

The market share continued to grow negatively.

Every profitable project today is not something that can be easily abandoned.

And those players who didn't buy Nintendo's latest console are thinking about it at the moment.

To buy or not to buy......

The world's first esports tournament.

Now it's the fifth day.

The presenter of the Age of Wonders is back on the scene.

The craze for Jurassic Park even tonight still caused heated discussions among the players at the scene.

"Hey man, did you come to see last night's game!"

"Of course, last night our team Dom performed very well, and the flexible operation gave the team the greatest contribution, helping the team to score an extra 7,000 points alone. “

"Amazing, it's not enough for me to say, I still think Zhao Leigang of the Huaxia team is better, no one thought that the bulky big man could bring out such a good rhythm. “

"I think it's unbelievable that he actually woke up the dinosaur himself in the second level, and he was able to fight it off. ”

"If it weren't for this dinosaur, it wouldn't have had an advantage to get the first place!"

"How is this opportunistic? You can do it, you can try it too. ”

"Do you think I don't dare? I bought all the CDs, and I tried it during the day today, although it's not that simple, but I think as long as I practice it, I can do it!"

"Dude, that's an exaggeration, I think ......"

"Welcome to the eSports tournament. ”

"Don't talk, the host is out!"

With the appearance of the host, the heated discussion in the audience area suddenly quieted down.

What kind of game is it tonight?

And players as far away as Akihabara are also looking forward to it.

Perhaps, after tonight, we will know whether to buy the SFC console and Contra.

Or......

Among the games of this year, the Age of Wonders gun games are almost non-existent.

Last year, there were hundreds of battles, but today there is a blank in this category.

Compared with Nintendo, which released the spirit of Contra, it seems that the Miracle Era, which has always been perfect, has a fault line in the popular game category?

Gunfights, but the popularity of the past few years, there is no reason not to keep up with the Miracle Era!

Unless it's ...... One-trick pony?

Thinking of this possibility, a group of Japanese game producers suddenly became excited.

That's an opportunity!!

As long as there is no Age of Wonders in the popular game category, then they have a chance to fight.

Grasp the weakness of the Age of Miracles...... It's so hard!!

And now...... Is it a gun game game!

Is this a flaw in the Age of Miracles??

With endless doubts.

The moderator's speech was also to the point.

“…… As a result, a whole new gunfight game was invented. ”

"This game completely surpasses all the gunfight games on the market now, including the Contra spirit that has just come out of the friendly businessman...... Sorry, I have no intention of denigrating the game, this is just to restate a fact. “

"So, let's start tonight's new battle mode. ”

"This game carries the top arcade baseboard of our Age of Wonders...... That's right, with a 32-bit baseboard, the world's top color graphics card and imaging mode, and a detailed picture quality that surpasses all games, we have made Metal Slug!"

"With an unprecedentedly detailed art style and rich animation settings, this will be a new record in the history of arcades. “

"Picture quality first. ”

"It's the No. 1 gunplay game. “

As the host's words fell.

A rumbling sound rang out in the venue.

It's like watching a movie.

A huge screen is playing the promotional footage of "Metal Slug".

Protagonist, with 4 to choose from.

The first one is a yellow-skinned male special forces costume character.

The second, a yellow-skinned female combat troop member.

The third is a special forces image of a white male man.

The fourth is the image of a black male special forces man.

Just when the audience was still hesitating which of these characters was better.

The screen shifts and the yellow-skinned male character disembarks from the helicopter.

Enemies, appear!

The next moment, endless bullets erupted from the muzzle.

Jump up, crouch down......

Move flexibly to quickly dodge attacks from places while constantly returning fire.

"How is it possible, under such picture quality, you can still move in 8 directions!"

"The quality of the picture ...... This shade ......"

"It's horrible...... It's horrible......"

Game producers from all over the world in the front row, if this moment is stupid.

in the picture.

The yellow-skinned male character can jump and crouch in 8 directions to shoot, and the main gun firepower is comprehensive, and the high-powered parabolic grenade plus the dagger attack with extremely fast melee speed makes an all-round protagonist born!

Shoot, dodge, grenade, and even ......

The multiplier that appears - a tank weapon!

It has all the elements that a star needs, and anyone who has seen this game is fascinated by this Q version of the small tank.

Compare......

Has anyone ever seen a tank that jumps forward and then falls???

Such a coquettish tank, unprecedented!!

It's as if it's been breathed into life!

The promotional footage comes to an end after the yellow-skinned male character bombs down a behemoth fighter jet.

The final scene is locked on the character of the game who looks up to the sky and laughs.

Then several flaming words appeared in "Metal Slug", and the promotional video ended here.

What was left of the audience was a silent silence.
