Time flies quickly, and after entering September, although Jester is not too worried about the world economy that affected the entire mid-to-late 80s, and will have a profound impact on the Japanese economy in more than a decade or even decades, the signing of the Plaza Agreement, the culprit of the dead decade of N song, is very close, but Jester is not too worried, after all, it is useless for him to worry.

He invested a lot of money in gambling, and it was all set up, and the person in charge of this matter was arguably one of the strongest candidates in finance, and he was worried that it would be useless.

Instead of focusing on these things that he couldn't help at all, he should continue to focus on the development of the game.

The release of the Dreambox in Japan has been delayed for a long time, and it has finally arrived in the East after a long period of anticipation from Japanese fans, and it is similar to what Jester had predicted, and his console will not be too bad in Japan, but it will definitely not be too good, despite his great fame and large number of fans.

But the Japanese are also notoriously tough for their old-fashionedness and stubbornness.

In the half month of its release, although Jester has done a lot of work, and even promoted it in the way of bundling games commonly used in later generations, relying on the influence of several of his classic games, he still sold a lot of machines, but just like Nintendo's encounter in the North American market, Mars Entertainment's machine qì is far from being mainstream in Japan.

It doesn't matter if the game is fun or not.

Looking at this report in his hand, Jester is also a little helpless, for the Japanese market, the only way is like porridge, simmer slowly over low heat, imperceptibly, and finally be able to change their daily habits, in Jester's heart, it is very difficult to completely defeat Nintendo, because they have the Japanese market, and if they want to be equal to Nintendo in the Japanese market, they may need to rely on a whole eight-bit era to accumulate fans and popularity, and then rely on sixteen-bit machines to lay the victory.

And Jester's new game "Heavy Loader" has just begun the preliminary preparations for development, such as the creation of the script and the establishment of the character design, the outside world has also begun to spread that the main game that Nintendo is working on will also be a future science fiction theme, and the main producer is no longer recognized as the first designer of Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto, but Gunhei Yokoi, who has not participated in the development of the game for a long time.

When he heard the news, the people in the development team directly under Jester thought that Nintendo was the same as they thought, and they also wanted to make a futuristic RPG game, and Jester originally thought so, and even in his impression, he didn't remember what commendable future, space-themed RPG games Nintendo had, so he didn't care.

But when he knew that the main producer was Yokoi Gunpei and that Shigeru Miyamoto was only serving as his deputy, he knew what exactly this game that Nintendo was now making Zuò.

For the prestige of Metroid, Jester is naturally thunderous, and it can even be said unceremoniously that Super Metroid on SFC is one of the best games he has ever played, and the gaming experience this game has ever brought him is unparalleled and unique.

At that time, Jester's eyes were opened, and it also made him know that the original game can also be made like this, and the next game that can give him this kind of long-term shock, thinking about it, may only be "World of Warcraft" that has an immeasurable impact on MMORPG.

Jester still remembers the first time he played World of Warcraft, when he controlled the human warrior from the Northshire Abbey to Shining Gold, and then the hidden map lit up the moment he came to Shining Gold, revealing the location of Shining Gold on the map, he felt that there was a whole world waiting for him to explore.

That kind of shock, without experiencing it personally, is difficult to feel in case.

However, the "Metroid" on the FC does not reach the height of the "Super Metroid" on the SFC, and it can even be said that it is far from the same, and the two are not games of the same grade, but as he designs one game after another based on the game experience of later generations and the classic games of later generations, it has long had a profound impact on the video game industry in this world, such as Shigeru Miyamoto's "The Legend of Zelda", which is much better than the one in his memory.

In this case, with Gunpei Yokoi and Shigeru Miyamoto, two makers who have endless inspiration for game design, and the development team, which is one of the best in the industry, no one knows what kind of Metroid they will be able to make.

But even if he worries about this, it won't help, after all, this is someone else's business, what he has to do now is to do his best, as long as his "Heavy Equipment" completes the system according to his own ideas, then he doesn't need to worry about Nintendo's tricks at all.

The intrigues of Yiqiē have been rendered useless now that both sides have been bayonetted, and in this case, only a good game can gain a slight advantage.

"Cuisine Hosodo", a game for Sega Zuò, has also come to an end, and Hayao Nakayama has been urging it several times, judging from the recent behavior of Yu Suzuki letting the Japanese development team work overtime continuously, it may be that he also received a strict order from his president.

For this game, although it is not made for himself, but after all, it is hung with his own name, and Jester does want to do a good job of this game that he came to this world and created the most elements of his own, so he is also very dedicated, and the level of Sega's developers is also very high, and Suzuki Yu is not a character who later became Sega against Nintendo Optimus Pillar, and the comprehension that came out of the table also impressed Jester.

And after more than four months of production, this is not a big production, but the game that is still striving for excellence under the requirements of both parties has also entered the final stage, and there are not many things that Jester needs to worry about, most of them are Suzuki Yu in charge of the final development work, for Suzuki Yu, Jester is still very relieved.

During this period of Jester's slight silence, Mars Entertainment also had a new game coming out. After Darkwater set up his own independent studio, with the help of Jester, the shooting game of the same name designed with reference to "Contra" was finally officially released a month ago.

And it seems that there is a providence in the dark, and a very innovative game from Nintendo, "Jackie Chan Kicks", was also released at the same time, and these two games are once again regarded by many as the second official confrontation between Mars Entertainment and Nintendo in the year.

Self. Tubwater's "Contra" has not experienced it personally, although he is not so busy during this time than before, it is relatively speaking, and he also spent nearly half a month traveling with Claudia, so he doesn't have much time to pay attention.

But more than half a year ago, after Jester's guidance, Cypher. Darkwater's mastery of shooters was so amazing that his Contra was an instant sensation in the United States upon its release, and for an American with a penchant for shooters, Contra was the greatest gift from God.

This kind of game that they have never experienced so smoothly that they can't stop playing it, this kind of hard-core bloody shooting that is very in line with the American aesthetic, plus it is not easy, but it is not completely hopeless difficulty...... The combination of all these advantages of the game, compared to the sales frenzy of "Fire Emblem" that broke one million in a few days, is not at all a hot sales frenzy of hundreds of thousands of copies a week, and a week later, relying on excellent word-of-mouth, once again triggered a sales frenzy.

In just one month, the cumulative shipment has reached more than 1.4 million copies, and the sales momentum is unabated, it is very likely to break through two million, or even hit three million copies, and "Fire Emblem" has gone through the previous months of crazy sales, and now the sales momentum has basically stopped, and tens of thousands of copies can be sold scattered every month, but the cumulative sales of six million copies in the previous months are still enough to laugh at the crowd.

And the second place in sales is "Balotelli's Otherworldly Adventure", this seemingly inconspicuous game, although there has not been such a frightening sales miracle as "Fire Emblem", but it is better than the dreaded steady dìng, since its release, it has been stable dìng in the sales of hundreds of thousands of copies per month, and there is no sign of weakening, and now the total sales have reached 5.5 million copies, at the end of this month, when the sales were recounted, it surpassed the The six million copies of Fire Emblem are basically a foregone conclusion.

As for "The Legend of Zelda", the market share in Nintendo's North American market is too low, they still rely on the Japanese market to pull sales, and now this game is basically no longer sold in the United States, but in the Japanese market, although there is a new Dreambox to grab the territory, but the sales momentum is still good, and the total sales have reached three million copies, which is Nintendo's best-selling game so far.

And for the hot sale of "Contra", Nintendo's "Jackie Chan Kicks" is not so gratifying, although this game is very innovative in design, but the difficulty of hesitation is too high, plus there is a similar game like "Avengers" of Mars Entertainment, even in the Japanese market, the table is not very good, plus Jackie Chan's current unparalleled appeal in Japan, in the first month of its release, it was only scattered to sell more than 300,000 copies.

Fortunately, this game is not a big production, and the return is enough.

In the eyes of outsiders, in the second round of the confrontation between Mars Entertainment and Nintendo, Nintendo was once again defeated. R1152
