Chapter 190: Fire Emblem!

Jack. Luo Di is a loyal reader of the magazine "", and he bought one for the first time when the first issue of the magazine came out, at that time he was just for the demo version of "Guild Wars City" for Mars Entertainment, but what he didn't expect was that this game magazine was also very beautiful, and many of the news he had never heard of before, so, after buying a few issues, he directly became a fan of this magazine, and he ordered a year for the first time.

Since the launch of the game rating program at the beginning of this year, he has always flipped to this section every time he gets a magazine, because the editors of "" always choose a few games that are worth reviewing, and he has found many good games that he has never heard of before.

And he's not just a fan of Mars Entertainment, as long as the game is good, in his opinion.

So when "" evaluated "The Legend of Zelda" as a thirty-nine points with "The Avengers" and "Balotelli's Otherworldly Adventure", he immediately went to buy a NES and bought a cartridge of "The Legend of Zelda", although some of his friends were very enthusiastic, but he felt that it was too complicated and troublesome, far worse than the video games he played.

But when he played The Legend of Zelda for the first time, he found that the game was simply flawless.

He had just flipped through the catalog page, looking for the page number of the game's rating, and then he saw the name of Fire Emblem on it - of course he knew about the game, and in the past six months, he had seen a lot of information about the game, and whether it was the magazine he trusted. Mars Entertainment, which has never disappointed players, is constantly saying that this is an epoch-making game.

But for Jack, the Legend of Zelda he played before was already excellent. He couldn't even imagine any other game like this one, especially one of its kind. To be even better than this game, he felt that The Legend of Zelda had no shortcomings other than having to play it from scratch every time.

Actually, although he hasn't seen Fire Emblem yet, he doesn't think the game is better than The Legend of Zelda, at best it's just a level.

But when he flipped to the game's ratings page and saw the ratings printed in bright red font that the review editors of "" had added to the back of the game, Jack. Roddy's eyes widened instantly, and he involuntarily reached out and wiped his eyes. He felt as if something was wrong with his eyes, but when he opened them again, he saw the same number as before.

"It can't be!" Jack. Roddy exclaimed at first, but it was like an inexplicable attraction that was attracting him to read the review articles written by the review editors below this rating.

Forty-one points.

That's how Magazine finally rated Fire Emblem.

"We couldn't even give an accurate assessment of the game at the end of the day, because it was so good, so good, and in this game, Jester, as the creator of the game, expressed his understanding of the genre. It's so much more than we can imagine, and we can't even keep up with his mind, even though we've experienced the game again and again. But not only did we get an experience that we hadn't felt before, but Jester and his team made a very, very remarkable innovation in this game that would make anyone who likes the genre worship them."

So, in the end, all of us on the review panel came to a conclusion. It's not enough to rate this game with 40 points, especially when we've rated a 40 game before. We rated him as forty-one points, which means: His excellent performance has gone beyond our rating system, which means that this is a game that is perfect in every aspect. ”

After reading this article, Jack. Roddy only then understood why "Fire Emblem" was evaluated as such a surprising score, after all, the perfect score of this evaluation system of "" is only forty points.

"Is this game really better than The Legend of Zelda?"

Although seeing the rating score of "" and the reasons why this score was given, Jack. Roddy still doesn't believe in the game, because as a person who has played "The Legend of Zelda", he knows how good this game is, and thirty-nine points of this "" gives an evaluation, Jack. Roddy also thinks it's well deserved.

Actually, it's not just Jack. Roddy, anyone who has seen this magazine, has the same question, how good is Fire Emblem to make such an assessment?

Nintendo people were very angry when they saw this issue of "", originally "" gave "The Legend of Zelda" a thirty-nine point evaluation, although they were a little dissatisfied, because just "" magazine gave "Dawn" a score of forty points, in their opinion, "Dawn" Although excellent, but their "Legend of Zelda" is not bad at all, but in the case of not the same type of game, they didn't care much, but this time, when "" gave a rating to "Fire Emblem", And after adding that rating reason, it completely made the people of Nintendo unbearable.

"How unreasonable! What does it mean that other games of the same genre are completely incomparable? What does it mean to be a game that is so good that it is completely impossible to rate? Could it be that our "The Legend of Zelda" is a game that can be easily evaluated? "Many people in Nintendo's intelligence development headquarters who participated in the development of "The Legend of Zelda" complained like this, saying that the complaint may not be accurate, to be precise, it is so cursed.

In their opinion, if "The Legend of Zelda" can give thirty-nine points, their "Fire Emblem", which is much better than "The Legend of Zelda", is eligible to get forty-one points, needless to say, just that one archivable cartridge that creates zĂ o is enough to increase the playability of "The Legend of Zelda" several times.

What's more, the content in this game is much richer than "The Legend of Zelda", as an RPG game, the richness of the content is one of the most important conditions for judging whether the game is fun or not, only an RPG game with enough excavable elements is a good game.

Although there are different opinions about this rating of "", there are doubters, some are angry, some are disdainful, and some are taken for granted, but, everyone knows that these evaluations and the like are false, and only games that can really sell good sales are really games worth bragging about, and moreover, when the two game console manufacturers are now starting to bayonet, a failure may cause a rout, and all the advantages that have been laid before will be buried.

The success of "The Legend of Zelda" is now obvious, Nintendo has not only relied on this game to consolidate its advantages in the Japanese market, but also has begun a counteroffensive in the North American market, and the market share will change almost once a week, so that all those who are interested in entering the video game industry that once almost died, but now it has renewed its vitality, is shocking.

Even Jester was no exception, he knew that this time, he could not fail.

The release time of "Fire Emblem" is very close, so there is no way to do it, and the current situation is too passive for Martian Entertainment, so Jester has to make such a decision, but because of the more than half a year of research and development time, Mars Entertainment has not reduced the promotion of this game, and it is simply not worried that because of the lack of hype, the game has not exploded to the maximum purchase potential.

Jester isn't worried about the launch of his game because Mars Entertainment has enough fans.

At the launch of "Fire Emblem", the scene was several times more lively than when Nintendo released "The Legend of Zelda", not only the number of people far exceeded, even if the police were invited to maintain the scene, the scene was still extremely congested, and it was impossible to accurately describe it.

The success of the first day of release was a thrill to everyone at Mars Entertainment, with a total of 400,000 copies sold in more than a dozen launch locations across the United States.

Although Jester was confident in his game, selling 400,000 copies in one day was still too impressive, you know, not many of the games of later generations could reach this result.

However, for Mars Entertainment, they are not worried about the results of the starters, they are concerned about how the game will progress in the future.

According to Jester's experience, if a game is good enough, such as his own "Balotelli's Otherworldly Adventure" or Nintendo's "The Legend of Zelda", their sales will be very regular, showing a long-term sales curve with little volatility, which is very different from the sales curve of later games.

However, when the second day of the release of "Fire Emblem" announced its sales on the first day, it still caused everyone to be in an uproar. (To be continued)
