Nolan Bushnell nodded, "Okay, then let him try!"

Li Zetian smiled and nodded, Shigeru Miyamoto's talent for game design is unparalleled, influencing generations after generation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the moment, "Super Mario" has been led by other development teams, but "The Legend of Zelda" has not yet been developed, and the series is one of the highest-rated game series of all time, along with Nintendo's Mario series and Pokemon series as the company's signature works.

At this time, Li Zetian said: "Call Shigeru Miyamoto and Junhei Yokoi over, and I will get to know them." ”

Nolan Bushnell laughed, "yes, okay. With that, he stood up and went outside the office, called a female secretary over, and then told her to go and call Shigeru Miyamoto and Gunhei Yokoi into the office.

A few moments later, Shigeru Miyamoto and Gunpei Yokoi knocked on the door and walked into Nolan Bushnell's office.

When they found that Li Zetian was also there, they couldn't help but be slightly startled, and immediately stepped forward to say hello, "Mr. Li, hello!"

Li Zetian smiled and nodded at the two of them, the young man in his twenties was Shigeru Miyamoto, and the one in his forties was Shigeru Miyamoto's teacher, Junhei Yokoi.

"Are you surprised to invite the two of you over?" asked Li Zetian.

"Hmm......" The two looked at each other and nodded in response.

Li Zetian continued: "The design of the Flamingo TV game console, I have seen it very good. In view of your excellent performances, I have decided to give you more opportunities to develop and form two new game development teams, one for each of you!"

As soon as the words fell, Yokoi Junhei and Miyamoto Shigeru were suddenly excited, especially Miyamoto Shigeru, who was eager to try.

"I also designed two games, one called Metroid and one called Hailar's Fantasy - The Legend of Zelda, and both games can be developed into a series! I plan to have Gunpei Yokoi in charge of Metroid and Shigeru Miyamoto in charge of "Hailar's Fantasy - The Legend of Zelda". ”

Li Zetian smiled and continued to introduce, "Now, I will briefly introduce these two games to you, and then I will have someone send you a detailed game design information."

"Metroid" tells the story of the year 20X5 of the cosmic calendar, the scientific research ship of the Galactic Federation found a mysterious life form on the planet SR388 - Metroid, and after the capture, the spacecraft will bring the sample back to the Galactic Federation headquarters for research. However, on the way, the spaceship was attacked by space pirates, and the Metroid sample was stolen by space pirates to their home base of ZEBES. In order to destroy the space pirates, the Galactic Federation had to invite the strongest warrior in the universe, Samus Alan, and after receiving the order, Samus infiltrated the planet ZEBES alone. Not only does she have to fight the cosmic pirates, but she also has to fight the Metroid legions they have cultivated, and finally Samus completes the mission by eliminating the cosmic pirate boss "Mother Brain" in the depths of ZEBES.

The story of "Hyrule's Fantasy - The Legend of Zelda" depicts the demon king Ganon who wants to collect the Holy Triangle to destroy the world, and Zelda's nurse Impa gives the responsibility to a teenager named Link, and Link's mission is to collect the triangular power and defeat Ganon. The Legend of Zelda is innovative in that it includes a vast world full of secrets and explorations with a variety of different items to use. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zetian paused, and then raised his voice a few decibels and said: "Excellent games need to be carefully crafted, you can't be in a hurry, understand?"

The two nodded heavily.

"Mr. Li, don't worry, we have always kept in mind the company slogan "Made by flamingos, must be high-quality!!" said Shigeru Miyamoto.

"Well, you guys go out and get busy, Bushnell will notify the personnel department later and issue your latest appointments. ”

"Hmm. The two answered and left the office.

Li Zetian then turned to Nolan Bushnell and said, "I have some new ideas now!"

Bushnell nodded and motioned for Li Zetian to continue, and he listened attentively.

Li Zetian organized the language and said: "I think that simply selling games is not a clever way!"

Bushnell's face was full of surprise, "Mr. Li, game companies don't sell games, so what do they sell?"

"Create a super IP ......," Li Zetian said lightly.

Bushnell is obviously confused again, and has never heard the word IP.

Li Zetian does not blame the other party for being unheard, after all, few people know the word now, he explained: "IP is the abbreviation of the initials of the word Intellectual-Property, which refers to intellectual property. For example, "Super Mario Bros." has a very high popularity, then games, novels, comics, animation, film and television, theme parks, videotapes, toys, stationery, game character image authorization, etc. can make the company make a lot of money, and games may not be the company's biggest profit point, but peripheral income is !!"

Bushnell was obviously quite shocked, and muttered: "If Flamingo does not develop games for the purpose of creating games, but for the purpose of creating super IPs, and carefully crafts each game, then Flamingo will definitely make Flamingo Company earn much more than imagined." On the other hand, although Sunbird Company produces many games, they are all worthless games, and they are very profitable......"

Li Zetian nodded and said with a smile: "That's right!"

Then, he said: "In addition to games, novels, comics and anime are all important ways to create super IPs. Flamingo can release novels, comics, and anime at the same time as the game, and go hand in hand to promote it!

Li Zetian thought for a while and said: "Animation may be relatively costly, not every game has to be made into an anime, but novels and comics must be there." And I think that a good novel and/or comic book will help our game designers to understand the game more thoroughly and make better works. ”

Bushnell nodded in agreement, and said, "If game designers, fiction writers, and manga artists worked together at the same time, I believe it would be even better!"

Li Zetian said with a smile: "The most important thing in a game is creativity and content, and in this regard, a good writer or cartoonist can actually be regarded as an excellent game designer!"

"Mr. Li, as you said, Flamingo needs to hire some writers and manga artists?"

"Yes, this will give us a lot more creative content for our games. ”

"Well, then I'll start working on the fiction department and the manga department later, and as for the anime...... Mr. Li, I think that when the Flamingo company becomes stronger, I will consider cooperating with some animation production companies for the time being. Nolan Bushnell said.

"Just do as you say!"

Not long after, Li Zetian left Nolan Bushnell's office, and then he returned home to work on Metroid and The Legend of Zelda. Li Zetian added some game elements and stories that were more mature in later generations to make the game more interesting. In fact, a game like "Metroid" can be adapted into a movie and put on the screen, just listening to the name already feels like a bombardment, if the movie is well-made, maybe it is another super IP, just like "Star Wars". And "The Legend of Zelda" may be the next "Lord of the Rings......
