After the movie "Once Upon a Time" was a big hit, Lin Qi thought about it and began to contact its independent subsidiary, Phoenix Arcade Company, to ask the arcade company to make the IP of "Once Upon a Time" into a fighting arcade game.

You know, the 90s was the last golden age of arcades, and in this era, the RPG adventures, bullet hell shooting, and fighting games in arcade games can be called the Three Kingdoms.

Among them, the most bloody fighting game, and only the arcade version of the live-action battle, is the essence of the most arcade game. There are also many fighting games on consoles and computer platforms in later generations, but the experience is still not comparable to the arcade version of the fighting game.

Even if you know, after the 21st century, the arcade game market is gradually withering. However, at this stage, Lin Qi is not willing to give up the arcade for the time being, so this kind of copyright is still developed by Phoenix Arcade Company, which is the most suitable.

……

And when "Once Upon a Time" set off a huge wave of Chinese kung fu in the film market.

The confrontation between the Pangu console of the new venture electronics group and Nintendo has gradually entered a white heat.

Previously, it was the use of Sega's game copyright to transplant it to the Pangu 5th generation platform, which made Nintendo proud, thinking that although the new entrepreneurship system was a big paving, it was a game masterpiece that could not be done in the short term.

And the popularity of game consoles is not about technology, but about new games with heavyweights. A steady stream of new games is on the market to keep consoles popular.

Sega's copyrights of several games, after cooperating with the new venture department, Nintendo was certainly very angry. However, after its Super Nintendo console was launched, it has sold 600,000 units. At the same time, Super Nintendo, a new game platform, has continuously released more than 30 large-scale console games with a capacity of more than 300MB and CD versions. These games have also sold a total of 4 million units, with an average of no less than 100,000 sales per game. There aren't many games, but each one makes a profit for the production company. As a result, more and more game companies are choosing to release new games on the Nintendo platform.

And Nintendo, which is also a new way to start a new business, charges a 30% distribution fee. In this way, the more games on the platform are sold, the more Nintendo will earn the distribution fee. Of course, after collecting the distribution fee, Nintendo began to use its influence to promote and distribute the game to the game production company, and at the same time, the unsalable game discs also agreed to return the channel. However, compared to expensive cartridges, a game disc now costs only 10 yen, while games can be sold for up to 3,000 yen. Even if it is returned, only the cost of the disc production will be lost. The settlement with the game production company is to deduct the cost of channel returns.

"Haha, according to the current trend, this year, our Nintendo company will not only turn over, but also become the second largest console platform after the new venture electronics group!" Yamauchi said proudly, "When the production capacity goes up, the game console will be distributed to Europe and the United States." If millions or even tens of millions of units are sold a year, our prospects in the future are limitless, and we may not be able to compare with Pangu consoles in the host field!"

That's right!

Just in the field of hosting!

Even if he is confident, Yamauchi Pu also knows that Pangu has risen to the level of general-purpose computers, and it is the same level as PCs.

The Super Nintendo console has gained the market with its cost performance, and it is only ready to follow the path that the Pangu console once walked in the field of games!

It's just that Pangu has been cultivating the market for almost 9 years.

And the Super Nintendo entered the market very late, and, in order to rush, the CPU of the Super Nintendo is provided by Intel, the operating system Microsoft.

It is not the same level as a company that is completely in its own hands with the core technology of the new entrepreneurship department.

……

Regarding the rise of Nintendo, Lin Qi naturally cannot remain indifferent. So, it's not just a temporary co-optation of Sega to get some good game copyright resources.

What's more, the new entrepreneurship department itself also has a heavyweight production!

In mid-February, Red Alert and Resident Evil 1 were released.

"Red Alert" is a real-time strategy game, and this kind of game in later generations can be called a very brain-testing and layout operation type. Originally, this game was developed by Nishiki Studios, a well-known studio that was also a real-time strategy game giant on a par with Blizzard in the world at that time. However, Ximutou's real-time strategy game focuses more on farming and flat pushing. For the technical aspect of operation, it is not as important as Blizzard. Therefore, in the game of West Wood, the master does not have much capital to blow the ratio, and the game cannot rise to the level of competitive games.

And Blizzard's games such as "Interstellar" and "DOTA" are simple and rough gameplay that restricts farming. If you want to play well, you need more intelligence. The level of professional and amateur players is also very different.

It is precisely because of this that "Red Alert" was once on an equal footing with "Interstellar". But later, it was abandoned by EA, the parent company of West Wood. Well, EA is a first-class publisher, but it has also destroyed one famous game studio after another, and many game studios, as long as their performance is slightly worse, regardless of historical achievements and past reputation, they may be laid off or even disbanded.

The subsequent follow-up of "Red Alert" was weak, mainly because it was disbanded by EA after the results did not meet expectations. Many players are certainly disappointed with Red Alert 3. But I still expect Nishiki to continue to make better real-time strategy games, but after getting the news, EA has not lost patience and directly killed this famous outdated studio.

Of course, the current "Red Alert" is also different from the historical "Red Alert", the full name is "Red Alert - Iron Curtain Age".

The setting is set to Einstein, who invented a time machine to avoid war, went back to 1933, and killed Hitler. He believed that this avoided World War II and brought world peace, but history did not change, World War II did not disappear, and as a result of the fighting, Stalin replaced Hitler and fought against the Allies. The two sides were evenly matched, and history returned to the framework of the Cold War.

The history of each country is not much different from history. Even Germany is divided into the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR. It's just that after Hitler was not in the game, Germany would not have the original sin of starting World War II. The split between the two Germanys was not an invasion of the Soviet Union, but a civil war between the two Germanys, each of which joined two camps.

This game, naturally, maintains the selling point of the original Red Alert, the base car is expanded, and then the construction and farming begins. Then, waves of battles began.

"This is just nonsense, as a war-themed game, it is very unserious and does not respect historical facts. ”

"The Soviet government protested, this is a discredit to the Soviet Union, which in the history of the Soviet Union was the country that suffered the most and contributed the most to the Allied forces. Without the USSR, there would have been no victory in the anti-fascist war. This game is a complete confusion of right and wrong. ”

The Soviet Union and other countries are blacklisting this game. Domestically, also considering the attitude of the Soviet Union, the game was temporarily banned.

Nevertheless, in the capitalist market, "Red Alert" relied on the protests of the Soviet Union to obtain advertising for free.

In just three days, "Red Alert" sold 800,000 copies, and almost the world set off a red alert fever.

"The game "Red Alert" has already told players that this is a purely fictional plot. The time machine, which has changed history, has a normal intelligence, will definitely not fail to read history books, everyone knows that this is entertainment. And it's just a deduction...... We emphasize that this is not an official history, so please do not sit in the opposite seat. Lin Qi couldn't help but make some explanations through the media.

Of course, historically, the "Red Alert" series was released after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and although it was also protested, it was less protesting. Now in this game, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union began to be blackened. Even if the Soviet Union itself is disheartened and will dissolve and split at any time, it still needs to maintain the dignity of a great power externally.

The performance of "Resident Evil 1" is slightly worse than that of "Red Alert", these two are different games, and of course they cannot be simply confused.

It's not that "Resident Evil" is inferior to "Red Alert". Thoughts, the production cost of this game is more expensive, and the 3D effect is also beyond the limit of this era, which is a great test of the performance of the computer, especially the 3D graphics card!

It is precisely because of this that the game is so good that even if the player is equipped with Pangu 5, if he does not add money to buy a high-end discrete graphics card, he will not be able to bring "Resident Evil".

The requirements for the configuration of the game console are too high, so that many players are dissuaded.
