"Kobe's wave......"

Jester had a headache at the thought of this company, and after Capcom defected from the alliance of Nintendo's six major software developers, and came to his side, only the five major developers remained.

Among the five major developers, Jester is the most coveted by Kobe's wavelets, Konami.

And history proves this, among the remaining five developers, Namco was annexed by Bandai, Hudson was later acquired by Konami, and there is no need to mention Teto and the like, while Konami has quietly grown after the ups and downs of the video game industry for decades.

With Capcom, a game company that was at the bottom of the six major developers that year, it has become a real overlord that can influence the entire industry.

And in between, the fallen game companies are really like the sand of the Ganges, and I don't know how many.

The phone rang, and Jester picked it up.

"Boss, last month, Mr. Jingzheng refused your request for a meeting, he said that he knows everything you want to say, but he said that they are not Capcom, there are some things Capcom will do, they will not do." Hearing the voice on the phone, Jester pursed his lips.

Then he said indifferently: "I know." He hung up the phone.

Shangyuejing is one of the founders of Konami, and the origin of Konami's name konami is also related to these founders, when Shangyue Jingzheng, Nakama Ryonobu, and Miyakoshi Ryuo three friends jointly founded this company, maybe their idea at that time was just to get a piece of the video game wave that had just risen by Atari, but none of the three of them probably thought that this small company would grow into a real towering tree.

And last month's name is written in English as kouzuki, Nakama Nakama, and Miyasako Ryuo Miyasako, and the first two subtitles of each person's surname are combined to form the official name of Konami. konami。

However, although the company was founded by three people, if you have the main voice in the company, it is still Jingzheng last month.

As far as Jester knows, Kazuki Keimasa served as the president of K Society until decades later, and after he announced his retirement, he was succeeded by Takuya Kamitsuki, who is also the second son of Kamitsuki Keimasa.

Jester knew that last moon was coming to the United States because of some things, so he asked someone to make a contact, and his purpose was to make Konami like a Capcom and let them break away from Nintendo. As long as you can get the two high-performing stocks of K Society and Capcom, the remaining four, it doesn't matter if you don't want them.

However, last month, Jingzheng obviously did not give himself this opportunity.

"Doesn't he know that if his two games were on our platform, he might be able to sell more cartridges in North America and Europe? You know, in Europe and the United States, especially in North America, our market share is completely dominant. And their playstyle is also the most suitable for players in North America. ”

This is what Jester doesn't understand the most, and in his opinion, even if they can't get along, it's always okay to meet each other. If you don't even meet in person like this, you obviously have already made up your mind, and it is definitely impossible to cooperate with yourself, and maybe there is another possibility. That is, he was afraid that the conditions he proposed would really impress him.

Shaking his head, since he couldn't figure it out, Jester didn't think about it anymore. Although it can't cause Konami to be a little depressed, there is no such thing as perfection in the world, and even if Konami is on Nintendo's side, it is just a little more difficult to add to himself, which is not harmful.

But this time, is it necessary to change my plan to use "Super Contra" as the main game at the end of the year?

Self. Darkwater is a character that Jester himself discovered that can take charge of himself, in his memory, in the history of game development, there is no such character, or he may also be engaged in game development in the world he is familiar with, but he has always been talented and unsuccessful.

But in any case, this character has not been heard of before by Jester.

At the beginning of Jester saw Seifer. After Darkwater's plan for the role of Western Stylized Balotelli, he felt that maybe the other party was a manufacturable material, and he just gave the other party a chance with the idea of unintentionally inserting willows, but he didn't expect this young man to let himself down, and he also saw it in the game development after that.

The growth of the other party Jester can be said to have been experienced firsthand.

And the most surprising thing for Jester is that in his company, the first person to go out and set up a studio independently, is also Syver. Darkwater, so, for him, Jester is very special, he is not a celebrity Jester is familiar with, and there is a sense of belonging in it.

Of course, the reason why Cypher. Darkwater was the first to set up a studio independently, not because he was the best among the many designers who had the ability to act as an independent person in Mars Entertainment, but because the time and place were favorable, and there was also a little selfishness of Jester.

Jester had previously told the other party that he would release "Super Contra" during this year's Christmas sales Golden Week, and it would be the end of the company's main work this year, but it was so that Konami's "Super Soldier" was inserted before the release, so it is difficult to say how effective this thing will be.

Self. Damberwater has also been depressed recently, and he was full of confidence in "Super Contra" this time, because this is the first game in which he is completely independent and self-reliant, and he was the producer of Zuò before, and as the main planner of those games that also dismantled Zuò, basically all of them have Jester's participation, even if it is his famous work "Contra" after he became independent, the characteristics of the whole game, the structure, etc., are basically what Jester explained to him.

And this time "Super Contra" is completely different, it is basically a synthesis of all his experience in these platformers, and Jester basically did not participate in it, but when he reported the project plan, Jester approved an idea that could be developed.

And the reason why he submitted his project was only because of his gratitude to Jester, after all, he was able to go from a newcomer who didn't know anything to a well-known game developer, and Jester had a lot of credit for it, otherwise what game would be developed by a self-financing independent studio would not need to be reviewed by the parent company.

After the game was completed, Jester also tried it. Darkwater could tell from Jester's demeanor at the time of the trial that he was genuinely happy with his new game, and the promise he made to himself afterwards convinced him that his guess was correct.

You know, it's not easy to get a company to use your game as a Christmas staple.

Just Syver. While Darkwater was thinking about this mess, he received a call from the parent company, and it was the big boss Jester who wanted to see him and wanted to discuss something with him.

Promised to arrive soon, and after hanging up, Seif. Darkwater could also guess what Jester was going to discuss with him, and this time he chose who would be the game to be released for Christmas, in addition to his own Super Contra, there was another game.

Will. Wright's development team has been working on "Balotelli's Otherworldly Adventure II" for this time, and the production of Zuò is also being completed soon. Wright's game is the main promotion for Christmas, because this game is of all ages, and the sales are currently very stable from the release period, and the total sales are slightly inferior to Jester's masterpiece "Fire Emblem", and the sales of "Fire Emblem" have basically increased very slightly, but the sales of "Balotelli's Otherworldly Adventure" have grown very steadily.

Many people have predicted, and even Jester has said at the company's top management meeting, that it is almost inevitable that the game will eventually sell more than Fire Emblem.

So, in the beginning, the odds of this game getting the last Christmas release are much more promising than its own Super Contra.

However, because of Jester's strength, he got this opportunity.

It's not that Jester is vexatious, but Jester feels that a long-selling game like "Balotelli's Otherworldly Adventure" doesn't have much impact on him no matter when it's released, and games like this rarely suddenly break out into a climactic storm of sales, because long-term sales are the characteristics of this type of game.

However, games like Super Contra are not like this at all.

Although the picture of this game is set in style, it is relatively heavy,Such a game is actually not very suitable for children to play,But such a game is extremely exciting to play,And full of feel,It can be said that there is no urine point in the whole game,In such an era when there is no game classification,Children's hope for this game is dù,Far from being a childlike game can be compared。

And the survey also shows that a considerable number of players who have purchased "Contra" and "Shamanro Snake" before are actually children.

That's it, Self. Tubwater was given this extremely rare and valuable opportunity.

But such an opportunity was completely ruined by the "Super Soldier" released in advance, and now there is controversy again about whether the company is still going to push his game during Christmas.

It's with a complicated idea, Cypher. Darberwater drove to Mars Entertainment's headquarters in Costa Mesa. (To be continued......) R1292
