Chapter 334: The drums of war are beating
After the release of Beastmaster, the response in the market was certainly good. Soon, the entertainment media throughout Japan competed to report on it.
"With the release of Sega's new game Beastmaster, the standard of action games has been redefined! On the whole, action games are divided into games that emphasize exaggeration and refreshing action, and action games that are more realistic. ”
"Some action games rely on the connection of character movements, that is, combos, to play with the player's actions as fun, while some game actions are just a means of expression. In any case, action games have transitioned from non-realistic to realistic action games from the familiar Mario to the Street Fighter in recent years......"
"However, just when the future direction of action games is still uncertain, Sega stood up and told players with absolute strength that action games should be like this! This allows us to see that the time has come for action games to rise again! What will happen to the game market next, none of us knows, but the strength of the Yamato nation is beyond doubt, let us believe in the infinite possibilities of Japanese companies Sega and Nintendo......
“……”
An article report from "Juvenile Weekly" fully illustrates the excellence of the Beastmaster!
Moreover, throughout the report, he praised Sega's excellence, thus proving on the side that Japanese companies are excellent!
No way, in the video game industry, the strong rise of the Miracle Age has continuously caused Sega and Nintendo to lose a lot of market share!
Although this loss is not too painful.
But it also has a big negative impact.
Needless to say, how big the impact is.
The stock price, which has been rising and skyrocketing, has not increased significantly for several months, and there are occasional small increases, but there are also cases of falling!
You know, before the Age of Miracles came out. It's unimaginable!
Even if Sega has Nintendo as a rival, it does not have much influence on the stock price.
Because Sega has a plate that Sega is good at.
Arcade machines, commercial machines, these are the core of Sega's survival.
And in these areas, it is difficult for Nintendo to get Sega.
But since the Age of Wonders has made efforts and several popular games in the arcade field have taken back the copyrights, everyone knows that this is a game produced by the Age of Wonders!
But to find the difference, watch such an arcade game again and again, and have their own unique fan base!
So this type of player almost seamlessly transitioned to the Age of Wonders camp.
Sega, which was originally invincible in the arcade field, suddenly appeared as a strong competitor, and many small shareholders who were already wavering sold Sega shares one after another!
Not to mention in the field of hosts, the strong interview of the star host directly led to a devastating blow to the FC that was still an 8-bit host!
FC's sales plummeted!
Almost all of the month-on-month growth is negative!
Consoles are the lifeblood of Nintendo!
At the moment, the behavior of being challenged but not expressing it is also extremely disappointing for players!
All the interviews were answered that they were already working on their own 16-bit console, so please be patient.
But when asked about the progress and the timing of the release, Nintendo also talked about him left and right.
Now, for some people who can understand the insider, what it means is self-evident.
Nintendo has taken care of itself!!
As a result, in the past few months, the loss of the stock has been enough to make Sega and Nintendo feel distressed!
However, there is no way to do it!
can only rivet enough energy, accelerate the development and production of the game, and invest more effort and energy to complete the research and development of the new console.
Needless to say, how much effort it takes.
Just looking at MD, it took Sega more than 2 years!
This is also because of the technical reserves carried out by MSM in advance.
If you're developing a 16-bit host from scratch...... This speed can be seen by looking at the speed at which SFC was introduced!
After the analysis of many experts and media reports, of course, it brought a deep sense of disappointment to Japanese players!
And now, as soon as Sega's "The Legend of the Beastmaster" comes out, it is equivalent to bringing strong confidence to Japanese companies in the dark!
It's an action game like no other in a 16-bit console!
And it's not a casual game!
The difficulty of action games is one of the most difficult genres of almost all games.
And as long as the action game is done well, it is almost a symbol of the best game production, and most importantly, it represents the strength of the top game production!
That's what makes action games different from other games!
Especially if Beastmaster is a well-made game, that's even more amazing!
As a domestic media, of course, I have the obligation to praise and give players confidence!
In addition to Shonen Weekly, other game magazines and game newspapers have also made similar statements.
"A while ago, many people said that Huaxia's games have surpassed our Japanese games...... Ignorance is ignorance after all, the level of Japanese games is not something that can be surpassed by a casual cat or dog, based on action games like "The Legend of the Beastmaster", I believe that there will be more games in the future that will comprehensively surpass Huaxia, and the accumulation of Nintendo and Sega is not comparable to that of an emerging Chinese company......"
"As long as we have faith in Nintendo and Sega, we believe that it will not be long before we can surpass the Age of Wonders in the field of games......"
All of a sudden, as the mouthpieces of Nintendo and Sega, they have spoken out to support the two giants of the industry!
The huge news media collectively endorsed Nintendo and Sega, and those who don't know may think that Nintendo and Sega are two weak companies, bullied by a company in Huaxia.
These remarks were transmitted back to the country, and naturally caused dissatisfaction, anxiety and anger among countless people!
But people in the industry know it. The size of Nintendo and Sega is simply not something that ordinary companies can easily shake, let alone be in a vulnerable group, which is absolutely impossible!
Just kidding, how can a player who really likes the game not know what this is all about!
