In this era, although Sega's industry status cannot be compared with history, as a company that has been engaged in the research and development of the arcade game industry since the 70s, it still has a lot of popular IPs and elite players in games.

Although, Sega now has a revenue of less than $300 million a year, and it continues to lose money. However, if its game IP is successfully ported to the Pangu platform, it is conservatively estimated that it can obtain at least hundreds of millions of dollars in game sales, and bring Sega a net profit of no less than 50 million US dollars.

Of course, the games of Sega that are released on the Pangu platform and are published by New Venture Electronics and sold by New Venture Electronics Group will only earn more than Sega itself.

This is why the major giants have to be platforms, rather than simply content producers.

The producer of the content is only the provider of the platform. There is no shortage of content producers in the world, and the threshold is relatively low, as long as a game company can successfully launch a few popular models, it can gradually become a well-known game production company by relying on the previous accumulation, but no matter how famous the game production company is, it cannot be compared with the platform. If the platform is favored, it can quickly promote some buried good games to the world at any time and turn them into popular games.

Of course, Xinchuang Electronics Group is not just wooing Sega, transplanting Sega's game IP to the Pangu platform to consolidate the market share of the Pangu platform.

In fact, Lin Qi's understanding of the trends and creativity of the game industry is ahead of the times, and he has naturally asked his company to develop more popular models.

Just when the whole of Japan was cheering for Super Nintendo, a blockbuster disappeared.

The giant in the game industry, New Venture Electronics Group, released a news that it disdains Nintendo's Super Nintendo console, believing that this kind of hardware is too far behind the Pangu 5 generation. Even if it is compared with the 4th generation of Pangu, it can only be compared with the entry-level Pangu 4th generation. Whether it's a productivity tool or a game console, it's a product that beats any contemporary.

At the same time, a spokesman for New Venture Electronics pointed out that Super Nintendo's hardware platform and game resources are also very worrisome, and players are expected to change this platform, and it is estimated that there are not many games to choose from, and sooner or later they will be dusted. Only the Pangu platform is king, so far, the game software of the Pangu platform is restricted to third-party game manufacturers every year, and most manufacturers, the game needs to be reviewed and the quality can only be released.

Of course, some game manufacturers try to bypass the review of the Pangu platform and want to publish games independently, but unfortunately, the Pangu platform is a patent troll, creating a bunch of patent barriers. Whoever wants to bypass it, Xinchuang Electronics Group will resist the lawyer's letter and sue the relevant production team. In each case, the reason for the lawsuit was the infringement of certain patents, not the lack of approval to produce and distribute the Pangu platform game.

It is precisely for this reason that there are only 27,000 games officially approved by the Pangu platform. It doesn't seem like much, but most of them are large productions of hundreds of MB, and the quality of the game is relatively reliable.

At the same time, the new venture electronics group also announced that it will soon release two blockbuster games to meet Nintendo's new console platform.

……

"The Super Nintendo is revolutionary, basically reaching the top in terms of game performance, graphics, sound, etc., and the price is also quite cheap, almost overwhelming the lowest in the market. Pangu host said that the hardware can't beat us at the same price as us!"

Yamauchi Pu was not convinced, and he was angry.

According to Nintendo's repeated research on the market, the price of Pangu computers still deviates from the expectations of many players, and some players are in a wait-and-see state for the new generation of Pangu consoles, and have been waiting for the old console to be scrapped before replacing the new one. After all, the Pangu console is not cheap, and it is getting more and more expensive, so the player is a bit of a pain in the flesh.

If the Pangu console is reduced to less than $500, users may choose to buy one in two or three years. However, in the current situation, users are estimated to be reluctant to upgrade in five years!

It is precisely for this reason that Nintendo feels that this is its own opportunity!

The game console market is still dominated by the positioning of less than $500, and there are not as many players who buy consoles around the world as there are computer players. However, there is at least a market of tens or even hundreds of millions of potential players!

If these players are caught, Nintendo may not be able to become the second Pangu PC in the future!

"Boss, we have received more than 50,000 orders for our Super Nintendo console, and the major sales channels in Tokyo are already out of stock. The business executive said.

Yamauchi Pu is even more proud, regardless of success or failure, there will be a glorious stroke in the history of the future, in less than four days, 50,000 units of sales and reservations, which is definitely not inferior to the Pangu host in the early years!

For Nintendo, who has always been budget-conscious and tightens his belt to get by, there is no more beautiful melody than this.

……

When Nintendo was triumphant.

New Venture Japan and Sega have jointly announced that "First Blood 3" and "Lightning Strike" are planned to be ported to the Phoenix Arcade platform and Pangu console platform!

On this day, the headlines of major newspapers were all about these two games.

"Sega's arcade masterpiece "First Blood 3" will be transplanted to the Pangu console, and the two game giants have teamed up for the first time!"

"Lightning Strike, faster speed, more exaggerated game difficulty, the first choice for smart people!"

Mr. Lin Qi said that in the Japanese game industry, what he admires most is Hayao Tanaka, who was once willing to give an equity incentive of 100 million US dollars, hoping to invite Mr. Nakayama to join as the president of the game department of the new entrepreneurship department. It's a pity that Mr. Nakayama preferred to be the president of Sega and politely refused Lin Qi's high price. ”

Under the power of money, the newspaper was even more stingy, and the soul of the second in Japan's blood exploded.

Lin Qi also tried these two games, which were extremely good, and I have to say that Sega was thinking enough this time to open up a long sky.

"Lightning Attack" is extremely challenging to operate, with gorgeous pictures, exaggerated speed and perverted difficulty, which can arouse the player's desire and competitiveness, and Lin Qi couldn't help but play for more than three hours.

As a new game, Lightning Strike was widely acclaimed upon its release, with a unique operating system, gorgeous graphics, exaggerated speed, and perverted difficulty. The units on different levels will move at different speeds and trajectories, and the overall effect is amazing, with a cartoonish feel.

In history, this game is also quite successful, and four versions have been released in the follow-up, according to the characteristics of Sega, the game has always followed the hardware, and Sega can also capture the appetite of players, and continue to improve the quality of the game, using new image depiction technology, such as "Lightning Attack", the image is delicate and layered, there are 3 screens above and below the screen, the special effects are even more dazzling, and the difficulty is quite perverted.

"First Blood 3" has nothing to say, old players are waiting for the sequel, after it is released, they are all shouting long live, and after experiencing the delicate operation, it is even more addictive.

Although these games are still being launched on Sega's own arcade platform, they have brought Sega a good order. At the same time, the porting progress of the game is also very fast.

"The use of multiple high-speed scrolls in the background can be described as perfect, especially in the front of the battleship group, the warships from far and near in the air, the surging war on the ground, the aurora in the distance are all beautiful, and there are many attack routines of various bosses, which is simply a masterpiece!"

"Looking forward to such a game, transplanted to the Pangu platform, it seems that the Pangu platform is mostly RPG games, but it lacks this kind of scroll shooter masterpiece. ”

"It's a pity that Super Nintendo doesn't have such a game, and I was going to buy one, but now I have to put it on hold. ”

"Let's wait for him to come out with the matching game, don't talk about it, that machine is empty, hurry up!"

It turns out that a good game, no matter where it is placed, is gold that always shines.

Super Nintendo consoles, orders are still rising, but the momentum is slowing down slightly. At least, it's not like before, it's like turning on an accelerator, and sales are increasing every day.

"Baga, this new entrepreneurial group is really insidious! And Sega, I'd rather cheapen the new entrepreneurial electronics than take out such a good game to cooperate with us!"

Yamauchi slammed his fist on the table angrily, and the people in the office were startled, and in the next two days, the order increased by a total of 20,000 units, which was twice as low as the original speed.

And the arcade machine launched by Sega at the same time, under the continuous flickering of the new entrepreneurial series, not only the arcade machine but also the big seller. Moreover, players are expecting its porting to the Pangu platform louder and louder.

Pu Yamauchi even went to try out several games prepared by Sega in person, feeling that although the IP may not be as good as his own Mario series. However, this is definitely a good game, and if it is ported to any console platform, it will be able to drive console sales.

A new platform like Super Nintendo needs this kind of explosive new game to cooperate. However, Sega sold the console version of this good game to Pangu in the new entrepreneurship department!

Wouldn't that further consolidate the advantages of Pangu, which was already monopolized?

Short-sighted, short-sighted!

Sega's gang really doesn't have a long-term vision!
