The next day, March 14, Moonlight Day, in the Grand Conference Room of the ANA Hotel......

With Yuko's wake-up service, Zhang Lexing arrived at the venue on time after breakfast. When entering the field, Zhang Lexing noticed that Yuji Dig and Hironobu Sakaguchi were not far behind him, the two of them had dark circles under their eyes, looked sleep-deprived, and yawned while walking, Zhang Lexing estimated that the two did not come back all night.

Walking to the area allocated to KF-Panda, Zhang Lexing casually picked a vacant seat in front of him and sat down, and then the venue was gradually filled with representatives of game developers and channel wholesalers who arrived one after another. At nine o'clock, Nintendo's 88 annual spring heart meeting officially began.

The first to take the stage was Shigeru Miyamoto, the head of Nintendo's Information Development Department, who first made a review of the video game market over the past year on behalf of President Yamauchi, and then made an outlook on how it will develop this year, of course, it's all good, very good, pretty good and other nonsense. After more than 20 minutes, the slightly lengthy opening sentence was finally finished, and everyone in the audience felt refreshed and applauded.

According to the previous process, the next step should be the highlight of the original heart meeting - the spring game promotion conference, but today seems to be a little different, Masayuki Uemura of Nintendo's second development department came to the stage again and began to speak. Listening to his professional terminology that seemed to be covered by clouds and mountains, most of the representatives of the manufacturers in the audience were confused and couldn't understand it at all, but Zhang Lexing roughly understood it by relying on the timely translation of the translation. It turned out that Uemura was introducing Nintendo's planned new generation of consoles, and the main meaning of his speech was: "The new console CPU under development has been finalized and will be used as the 65C818, which theoretically has backward compatibility with the CPU currently used in FC, and will be specially enhanced in terms of graphics and sound functions...... The new console that will be launched will be a new platform with unprecedented performance and ultra-easy game development. It sounds very good, but Zhang Lexing knows that at this time, the new host has not yet appeared, and he has to wait for at least two years, and it is still very early to go public.

Seeing the empty eyes of the representatives of the manufacturers below, Masayuki Uemura finally realized that his speech was too profound, so he began to try to express it in more simple language, and this time many people finally seemed to understand. After more than 20 minutes of grunting, Uemura finally finished his lecture on the popularization of game console hardware knowledge, and the meeting was pulled back to the original normal process, and the spring game promotion conference officially began.

Shigeru Miyamoto, who was in charge of the promotion, came to the stage again with a smile on his face, took a pointing pen, and started the promotion of the game in front of the projection screen.

"The first game we introduced today was brought to us by KF-Panda America, but it is said that the development team is from the ancient and mysterious Chinese ......," Shigeru Miyamoto motioned to the staff next to him, turned on the special FC head unit connected to the projector, and started to play the game screen on the projector under the operation of the staff.

Shigeru Miyamoto continued: "Tennoen ...... "88 Tank Battle". ”

As the familiar game screen appeared, there was a buzz in the audience, and many anxious people couldn't help but start asking questions to the Namco representative, but the Namco representative could only smile awkwardly.

Shigeru Miyamoto saw the commotion in the audience, made a quiet gesture, and then gestured to the staff with his eyes to show the appropriate content, and then introduced the innovative content of "88 Tank Battle".

As the game screen on display continued to change, the buzz in the audience gradually subsided, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on the face of the Namco representative, perhaps because he was surprised that the Chinese game development team could have such a wonderful idea.

The finale of today's promotion conference was on, after showcasing the "Pro-Am" racing game developed by KF-Panda USA and Capcom's "1943: Battle of Midway", respectively.

Shigeru Miyamoto announced in an impassioned voice: "Today's last game, after a lot of hardship, came to Japan, a development team of nearly 100 people lasted more than a year, Yuji Tsui led the main creation, and Square Enix developed ......"

Shigeru Miyamoto deliberately dragged out his voice, and the most excited in the audience were the channel wholesalers, staring nervously and excitedly at the curtain on the stage. Feeling that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Shigeru Miyamoto finally spit out the remaining words: "Dragon Quest 3 - The End of the Legend ......", and at the same time, the game display screen and the introduction of the innovative system of "Dragon Quest 3" began to appear on the projection screen.

After hearing the name of "Dragon Quest 3", the representatives of the channel wholesalers in the audience didn't stare at the curtain at all, what is there to see about the game introduction, everyone knows that the "Dragon Quest" series is a national RPG game in Japan, as long as it is put on the shelf, it will basically sell out quickly, especially after the announcement that it will be produced by the domestic Square Enix company the year before last, the game has not yet started, and it almost set off a wave of reservations. This time to participate in the original heart meeting,Many channel wholesalers are coming for this upcoming game,What they are most concerned about is whether the game will be listed at this time,Now that we know the exact news,The rest is a matter of share competition,Representatives of channel wholesalers are on guard against each other,At the same time, they began to secretly calculate the chips in their hands。

The mood of the game developers in the audience is very complicated, the developers who have successfully passed the Nintendo review and obtained the listing qualification are naturally happy, and when they look at the game display screen of "Dragon Quest 3", they are mostly pure appreciation, and those developers who have some dirt with Nintendo or failed the game review look at the excited representative of Square Enix and the main creator of the game, Yuji Tsuii, with a jealous mood, and his heart is full of disdain," Hmph, if it weren't for the shit luck of being chosen by others, even your company would have become history a long time ago......", but when they thought of Square Enix's weapon of holding the development rights of the "Dragon Quest" series, these developer representatives couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in their hearts, and sighed in their hearts: "Why didn't my company have financial problems in the first place, why didn't anyone come to see us, alas......"

With the end of the "Dragon Quest 3" game showcase, the game promotion conference has also come to an end, and the next thing is the meeting time between Nintendo and the representatives of the channel wholesalers, and the game developers have consciously left the conference room, into the banquet hall located downstairs, while eating a buffet, while waiting for the final verdict, as for those developers who did not even appear on the game screen, except for a few outliers with super psychological quality, most of them hurriedly left the ANA Hotel and went to find a new way out for their company.

Zhang Lexing held a slender glass wine glass, gently shaking the dark red liquor in the wine glass, but he was thinking about Nintendo's thoughts and his own coping methods. Representatives from KF-Panda USA and Square Enix were slowly sipping the red wine from the wine glasses in their hands, while exchanging space for future collaboration. On the other hand, digging and Sakaguchi were talking excitedly, and it could be seen from their expressions that both of them were a little drunk, and the two kept gesturing with their hands while talking, sometimes the two got together and whispered, and after saying a few words, they seemed to have a tacit understanding and put their shoulders together, snickering obscenely.

There are many developers next to them who look at the KF-Panda circle with a complex look of awe, disdain or jealousy, and their hearts are full of mixed feelings. Some people sit alone in a corner and taste the liquid in the wine glass, and the taste in their hearts is like wine, either sour or sweet or sweet with some bitterness. Some people get together in pairs and threes, either to communicate happily or to comfort each other.

After waiting for a long time, after the staff delivered two meals to the banquet hall, the developers finally got the news that they could go upstairs, and everyone began to walk up the stairs in twos and threes, and Zhang Lexing also followed to the venue on the upper floor.

As soon as I entered the venue, I found that it had been cleaned up, even the projectors on the stage had been put away, and the previous channel wholesalers were gone. Seeing that the developers were basically all here, Shigeru Miyamoto took the stage with a stack of papers and began to announce the number of pre-orders for the spring game.

"The number of pre-orders for "88 Tank Battles" in Tianzhien...... 100,000 copies"

……

"The number of reservations for Helad Agency's "Thunder Action"...... 12,000 copies, less than the minimum number of reservations, out of this year's recommendation list"

The expression of the representative of the Helad Society froze instantly, and then quickly collapsed, as if it had lost its support.

……

With the announcement of Shigeru Miyamoto, many developers have different expressions, some small companies are lucky to have more than 20,000 copies and rejoice, some large company representatives have unexpectedly only received thousands of orders, and of course, a few companies have obtained more than 100,000 orders without shock, which is basically the treatment that only some established development companies can enjoy.

Gradually, Shigeru Miyamoto's introduction is coming to an end.

"KF-Panda US Pro-Am pre-order quantity...... 180,000 copies"

"Capcom's 1943: Battle of Midway pre-orders...... 200,000 copies"

"Well, next is the pre-order situation for the last game today...... "Shigeru Miyamoto has a small sale here

"Square Enix's Dragon Quest 3 - The End of the Legend pre-order number...... 1 million copies ......" Shigeru Miyamoto's voice suddenly soared.

There was a buzz in the audience, and the eyes of many developers looking at Square Enix and KF-Panda representatives immediately changed, especially when they looked at Square Enix's representatives, full of envy and jealousy. The number of pre-orders announced is about the same as Zhang Lexing's estimate, and what is more surprising is Tianzhiyuan's "88 Tank Battle", a modified version of an old game can still have 100,000 copies, so it seems that the efforts of everyone in Tianzhiyuan will soon pay off.

Once the pre-orders were announced, all that remained was for the developers on the list to sign contracts with the Nintendo channel wholesalers and negotiate the details of the supply, which was a winner-only moment, while those who did not meet the minimum pre-orders were left behind.
