Recently, among many player groups, the hottest topics are the same. ≥ ≥ ≥ Xiao ≥ said,

It was a gossip that I don't know where it came from, and it seems that the person who leaked this gossip is still from within Mars Entertainment.

That is, Jester is preparing a new SPRPG game - this is corroborated, a day ago, Matsuno Yasu, who had been vacationing in Tahiti, had suddenly flown to California, and his plane had just landed, and he was directly connected to the headquarters of Mars Entertainment by a car sent by Jester.

At the same time, the main creator of "Royal Knights" with him, who had completed the "Royal Knights" with him, also ended their vacations and returned to Japan.

According to the personnel of the Mars Entertainment Japan branch, the news they received from the mouths of the people here was to prepare for standby, and after the assembly, wait for the order of the headquarters, and then go to the United States to participate in the development of a game project presided over by Jester himself.

And the platform developed has also been determined, which is Dreambox2.

The news is clear-eyed, and it's not just one person who has proven it from all sides, so the news has spread the fastest, and not only players in North America, but also players in Japan, have become curious about what Jester's new game is.

Since Jester finished developing "Quake" and "Pokemon" on Gameboy, he has not been involved in any specific projects, even "Thor's Arena" is mainly in charge of Carmack's development, and as for the sequel to "Thor's Hammer", Jester has explained more than once that Carmack will preside over the development.

And this time, from the fact that Jace's special people are not transferred, but only the development team of Matsuno Yasuha, and Matsuno Yasushi is directly called to the headquarters to discuss, it can be seen that Jester's new game is definitely the type that Matsuno Yasushi is best at.

And what type of guy Matsuno is already good at?

Go without saying. The game that he can call a masterpiece is "Royal Knights", which was released just last year, which is an SRPG game.

And when the srpg genre is just imprinted into the minds of players, it is possible to make a certain amount of associations in an instant.

And this association is bound to be "Fire Emblem"!

"The orthodox need for Fire Emblem is coming?" The next day, a game media outlet stated their speculation in one such article, and it was not just their own speculation, but the speculation of many players.

This guess instantly made such a player **.

After all, the frenzy that Fire Emblem sparked at the time can be called the most landmark event in the entire history of video games. And as of the publication of this article, on the sales list of the entire eight-bit era, "Fire Emblem", a Jester-made Zuò game, ranked third, behind the first two Balotelli series.

However, the players were not happy for a few days, and after just three days, one of Jester's assistants denied the players' speculation in an interview.

Jester's assistant replied, "Yes, the boss is indeed planning a game...... What the? A sequel to Fire Emblem? No, no, no. It's impossible, and as far as I've learned, it's absolutely impossible to have anything to do with Fire Emblem or anything to do with Fire Emblem, it's going to be a brand new game. It's not a sequel to any of the games. ”

And, at the end of this interview, the assistant seemed to have inadvertently slipped a sentence, when the interviewer was asking. When deliberately stating the type of srpg in a definite tone, the administrative assistant did not immediately deny it, but answered the question. Although he later said that he did not hear the question clearly, it was no longer helpful.

Therefore, the news obtained from it made the players once again ** repeatedly.

An SRPG is basically the same, and it can be judged from the concentration of Matsuno Yasu's team and the leakage of the assistant, but whether it is "Fire Empals" is not yet certain, but even if it is an SRPG with a new background, then it will definitely not be weaker than "Fire Emblem" in terms of plot.

Otherwise, Jester wouldn't have thrown away the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds.

There are more and more such news, and many good things in the media are also tirelessly catering to the psychology of players for the sake of sales, and some of them have collected Mars entertainment money to bring up the rhythm, and this topic has become more and more hyped.

And, correspondingly, because the platform of this game will be DreamBXo2, so during this period of time, the sales of Dreambox2 have risen rapidly, which is not much worse than the days after it was released, and even caused a phenomenon of out-of-stock in some places, some media asked when interviewing players who rushed to buy Dreambox2.

"Why did you come so early to snap up Dreambox 2? Aren't you tired of queuing for at least two hours? The Sega MD console over there doesn't seem to be in line, and there's no Dreambox 2 that might sell out. ”

Faced with the reporter's question, the player naturally pursed his lips disdainfully, and then said disdainfully: "Don't you know? You don't know what else to do with this game reporter, Jester's new game is about to be released, and it's the orthodox sequel to Fire Emblem! I've been waiting for this game for four years now! ”

Therefore, when network communication was not yet developed, these hot topics were easily used to spread false rumors to create a viral marketing effect, for example, although Mars Entertainment has already hinted that this game is just a development team that Jester has just prepared, and this game is definitely not a sequel to Fire Emblem.

But in some players who don't know the inside story, and even, in this era, such players still occupy the mainstream, and in the eyes and ears of these people, some unintentional hints or guides can be used

It looks like something from the mouth of this player who just gave an interview.

From just preparing for the development team to the game has been developed and will be released soon, it is never a sequel to Fire Emblem, but it is a new SRPG game that has become an orthodox sequel to Fire Emblem.

The effect of this spread is striking.

Coupled with the anticipation, even a week later, the topic of discussing what Jester's next game would be the hottest topic in the United States turned out to be the hottest topic in the United States, and in an ABC interview, their audience paid more attention to Jester's next game than to the current situation in the Soviet Union.

This made Hisao Koguchi's eyes red, although he was interested in Jester's influence in the minds of North American players, but it was also a helpless thing.

And in the face of the Dreambox2 unless it is used for trade-in, the price is more expensive than the Sega MD console, but it is distributed at a rocket-like speed, and almost in just 20 days, the advantage of the sixteen-bit machine share that Sega has worked so hard to establish before has been directly suppressed.

You know, for the sake of this sixteen-bit console, if Sega includes the pre-sale of the MD console, it will be released nine months earlier than the Dreambox 2.

"Gap ......"

Although he didn't want to admit it, facts speak louder than words, and although he had tried all the means to help Sega bridge the gap between them and Mars Entertainment, the blow of reality was indeed so pale, and it also made him feel that the gap was huge, and this gap even gave him a sense of powerlessness.

It was a feeling he had never felt before.

"Has there been any recent change in our sales?" Hisao Koguchi asked the people from the sales department who came to report with a calm face, and from his voice, anyone could easily hear that he was not in such a happy mood at this time.

It even makes people feel an indescribable feeling of exhaustion.

"It's about the same as before, with a slight decrease." Answering very carefully, while speaking, he also observed the expression of Hisao Oguchi, who had long heard that the boss in front of him, who had just taken over the head of the North American Sega branch for just three days, was difficult to figure out, and there were two former presidents' descendants who were directly driven back to Japan by him.

He doesn't want to return to Japan so gloomy, in the traditional Japanese enterprises with a high level of seniority, if he is driven back like this, basically his entire career will be completely ruined, and he can only live at the bottom of the enterprise, and get the most unpopular salary, which is extremely difficult to support his family.

But fortunately, Hisao Koguchi, the newly appointed president of North America, did not say anything other than frowning, and even after he finished speaking, he continued to ask in his somewhat tired voice: "What about Dreambox2?" What about their sales? ”

"They ......"

The answerer hesitated slightly, then raised his eyes to look at Hisao Koguchi's sharp eyes, and immediately shuddered, before replying with some trepidation: "Their sales have increased a little frighteningly, although we can't get their exact sales figures, we can only guess, and the results of our evaluation team are similar, that is, their sales in the last five days may be higher than their sales in the first five days of release." ”

After the respondent finished speaking, Hisao Koguchi closed his eyes, and the respondent only dared to stand on one side and did not dare to speak.

"You go out first."

It wasn't until seven or eight minutes later that Hisao Koguchi reopened his eyes and sighed. (To be continued......)
