CHAPTER 568: AMIIBO

Although Jester has not had much time lately, and the carnival is also imminent.

But he still had to go to New York once.

Instead of going to the headquarters of the Commercial Credit Company, Jester went straight to Sandy. Will's home, after all, there are many people in the company, and there are some things that Jester doesn't want anyone to know.

Sandy. Will's wife went on vacation with his children, so it was only Jester and Sandy. Will two.

I casually brewed a cup of coffee.

The two began to discuss whether there would be a Gulf War.

In fact, Jester has also basically convinced that Sandy. Will, however, there was one more thing he wanted to know, which was even more important to him than whether the Gulf War would break out, and that was how long the Gulf War would last.

Facing Sandy. Jester hesitated slightly.

He didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"What do you think?"

Obviously, since Jester spoke to him on the phone yesterday, Sandy. Will did some research.

"I asked Charlie, and his opinion was similar to mine, maybe for a few months, or even half a year, after all, Iraq's military strength is still good, they ......" Jester listened quietly. Will's chasis analysis, the Charlie he just talked about, also knew that it was Sandy. A member of Will's think tank.

"Hmm."

Then, Jester just nodded, and he didn't judge Sandy. Will said these analyses.

In fact, this is also a very common view nowadays, although the prevailing view is that Iraq will eventually compromise, after all, even the Soviet Union is on the side of the United States. However, if Iraq really does not compromise and war does break out, I am afraid it will also be a protracted war.

This can be seen from the fact that the United States attaches great importance to the increase of 500,000 troops.

After all. As a country that has just finished the Iran-Iraq war, its military is strong. There are more than 5,500 main battle tanks, of which the T72 is more than 500 high-end goods of the Soviet Union that deter Europe and the United States, and there are more than 1,000 various aircraft and millions of main battle troops, which is still very deterrent.

Of course. The United States, including the whole world, will not doubt which side will win in the end, after all, the gap in the national strength of the two sides is too great.

As soon as the war broke out, the embargo began.

Iraq does not even have a guarantee of spare parts for tanks and aircraft, and if something goes wrong, it faces a situation where it cannot be repaired.

This is also the reason why the Pentagon will order a large number of handheld computers from Mars Entertainment, that must be that the Pentagon also takes into account that the war will last for a long time, so that the soldiers in the war have something to relieve their boredom. And Gameboy is really a good choice.

That's the prevailing view right now.

"I don't think so." After a little hesitation, Jester still spoke his mind, and heard Jester say this. Sandy. Will's mind also gathered, he took a slight sip of the coffee in front of him, and then looked at Jester seriously, and could see that his expression was very urgent.

"I think ......"

Jester paused for a moment before continuing, "This war won't be too long. ”

These words made Sandy. Will furrowed his eyebrows.

Apparently not too happy with Jester's answer, he pulled out a cigar. He didn't light it, but took it in his hand and turned it around. before he spoke.

"Jace, be specific. Is there anything that can't be said? ”

"Nope."

Jester shook his head: "Just organizing my own wording...... I mean, the duration of this war will not last more than half a year, as is now predicted, and it seems to me that if Iraq had not compromised between the expiration of the ultimatum, within three days the war would have broken out, and the war would have ended no later than the end of February. ”

"End of February?"

Hearing Jester's tone of voice so sure, Sandy. Will exclaimed, too.

Now that the Middle East issue is so hot, but so far no one dares to predict that the war will end before the end of February? That is, the whole war may be more than forty days?

But Iraq is not working.

They are the largest power in the Middle East, whether it is the army or the air force, they have considerable strength, to put it bluntly, they are much stronger than Vietnam back then.

However, for Jester's magic, Sandy. Will didn't seem to be surprised, he didn't question the other party, but after exclaiming, he was silent, Jester didn't speak, and the two sides were silent.

In the end, it was Sandy. Will was the first to speak.

"How sure are you?"

"Huh."

Jester smiled, and he said in an extremely firm tone, "Grandpa Will, do you remember what I told you before?" ”

Hearing Jester say this, Sandy. Will looked slightly stunned.

"My eyes can see the future."

Right here at Sandy. As Will froze, Jester smiled and repeated what he had said.

The next day.

Jester returned to Los Angeles on his own plane.

The private jet that Claudia ordered from Gulfstream has already been delivered, so now Jester only needs to look like he can fly around the United States without waiting for any flights.

Along the way, one of Jester's flight attendants on his private jet bought something that caught his eye.

It's not something precious.

It's just a figure of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which is produced by a toy factory owned by Mars Entertainment, and is currently selling very well, of course, thanks to the popularity of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon in the United States.

However, Jester didn't pay serious attention to these things during this period of time.

However, he still remembered the drama when he thought of buying the studio that created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics, and now Illusion Studios is his largest comic studio, responsible for the comics of the entire Mars Entertainment game, which is many times bigger than before.

Moreover, Jester also remembered his decision to make a beat up game of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", but because after the release of Dreambox, there were too many games he was responsible for, so he didn't make Zuò in the end, and lost it to someone else, but he still participated in the planning and setting of the game, and the quality of the final work was also very high.

The level of the sequel is also good.

Jester asked the flight attendant why he wanted to buy this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figure in New York.

The flight attendant's answer was very simple, because the figure in Los Angeles had been sold out, so she came to New York this time to see if she could find it, but she didn't expect to find her alive in an inconspicuous shop.

"Is this thing selling well?"

Jester was a little curious, he didn't expect these figurines to be so popular.

"Yes, a lot of limited editions will be sold out as soon as they come out." The flight attendant's affirmative answer also surprised Jester.

This was just a small episode for Jester.

But on the plane from New York to Los Angeles, Jester, who was a little bored, thought of one thing from this figure, that is, in his memory, the little money-making artifact that made Nintendo turn its losses back into profits, amiibo.

You must know that after Nintendo's financial report came out at that time, it lost billions or how many yen, which almost made Satoshi Iwata directly confess his guilt.

However, since the second year, this little amiibo toy came out, and it directly turned Nintendo into a profit.

Moreover, when Nintendo launched amiibo, many people planned to watch Nintendo's jokes, and they all thought that Nintendo was doing this uselessly, but later after the amiibo was released, it was like a slap in the face in the eyes of these people, amiibo not only did not fail, but was a great success, and even after a new batch of amiibo was launched, it would be snapped up by players immediately.

Jester thought of his own figure from his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle figure, can you add a function like amiibo?

Of course, the real amiibo is now impossible to complete.

After all, this is a wireless connection through a guònfc chip, but you don't have to connect wirelessly.

This is originally a way for Nintendo to trick players into buying his figure to unlock a part of the game's content, this is the essence of this thing, as for the rest, how to connect and unlock, whether it is wireless or wired, and what is the point?

And, best of all, the cost of this thing is very, very low.

You only need to put a chip in a figure that is specially used to connect to the game for authentication, but the price he can sell is definitely not low.

Nintendo's price for amiibo at the time was as high as thirteen dollars, which was almost a rhythm of selling as much as you wanted.

According to Jester's memory in his mind, it seems that Nintendo sold more than five million copies in more than half a year.

The more I thought about Jester, the more excited I felt.

Moreover, it is true that a new version of Gamboy needs to be developed now.

After all, now that Sony has acquired Nintendo's handheld division, and Sega's color handheld is nearing completion, they are all drooling over the huge market for handhelds.

If you can't come up with something that others can't take, then how can you occupy an absolute share of this market? (To be continued) R466
