Chapter 218: Christmas Season

Little Jack pursed his lips, then took a hard sip in his mouth, and then, without saying a word, he turned his head and left the shelf where The Legend of Zelda was placed, walked in front of his favorite Heavy Loader, and reached out to take it.

And his friend named Reggie, who is a little fat, was a little shocked to see what little Jack did, and he finally fooled this friend of his to buy "The Legend of Zelda" so that he could continue to play this game that he didn't finish playing with his cousin, in Reggie's heart, Nintendo is the best game company, and "The Legend of Zelda" is the best game! As for what Fire Emblem? What is this? He hadn't played it anyway, and he wasn't interested in it.

He doesn't believe there's any game in the world that's more fun than The Legend of Zelda.

Reggie just wanted to say something to Little Jack, but Little Jack still pouted and looked at him, and said with great dissatisfaction: "Hmph! It's all your bad idea, let me be underestimated by others, I'm going to middle school, how can I still play elementary school games, no wonder you're always called a gorilla! It's stupid, gorilla Reggie. ”

After Little Jack finished speaking, he immediately paid the money and left sullenly.

Leaving Reggie alone, Reggie's face was distorted by his best friend, he was a black man, so although his face couldn't be seen red at this time, but he could also see that his mood was extremely bad from his hideous expression, he turned his head to look at the game of Mars Entertainment that was placed at the top of the shelf, and then there was a hostile look in his eyes, and after a long time, he left angrily.

Jester didn't know about this scene, and even if he did, it didn't matter, and he couldn't have seen from the face of a black kid in his teens that this man would become the president of Nintendo in thirty years. Reggie, who is called Reggie the Gorilla by fans who love him and hate him. Filsemi.

However, Jester had seen Reggie's interview in his original world, and when asked what his favorite game was, Reggie the gorilla replied without hesitation: "The Legend of Zelda." ”

The development of a large somatosensory arcade machine was unlike anything Jester had ever worked on before. Even he himself needs to be taught by Jade in a separate class to teach him exactly how such a game is done. Jester is also very serious about learning, in fact, one method is all over the world, and it is the same for game development, when Lamp Jester is familiar with the development process of this large-scale somatosensory arcade game, he feels that it is no different from before.

However, the progress is not fast, and I think that the team that went to the whole United States to collect the location has not returned, so now it is mainly engaged in hardware development.

Jester wasn't very good at hardware development, so he just watched the excitement from the sidelines. By the way, I discussed with the software development team how to overcome some of the difficulties encountered during the discussion, relatively speaking, such a day is relatively easy.

Even at the premiere event of Nintendo's "Metroid" in Los Angeles, he had the leisure to watch it, and it was photographed by a certain media and made headlines.

The title is also very scary.

What is it called worrying about the success of the opponent's new game counterattack, Jester personally probed the enemy or something, seeing such a report, Jester can only say that the American reporters of this era are as brainless as the later mainland reporters, and they go to see the release of Nintendo's game to worry about the opponent's counterattack, in fact, he just took advantage of Christmas to see.

Still, Jester was taken aback by what he saw. He found that Nintendo fans in the United States are really a lot.

It's a lot more than when they first released The Legend of Zelda. And before, "Game" also got the game cartridge that Nintendo took the initiative to give, and after the review editors of "Game" magazine tried it, they all sighed that Nintendo was powerful, in addition to Miyamoto Shigeru, there was a design master who was not inferior at all, in their eyes, the game "Metroid" was almost perfect in the ACT game.

Jester had played this game in the previous world. He remembered that the "Metroid" on the FC was not too good, and it could only be said that it was generally on the top. A relatively good game, this film is talked about. So much so that it is on the altar, it is still relying on the "Super Metroid" on SFC, otherwise, it is impossible to make the banner game of AXT like Moon under the Moon with only the original version on FC.

Jester was also surprised to hear the editorial department's reply to the game, and then he took the time to go to the magazine office of "Game" in Los Angeles to try it out.

Then, Jester was also amazed by the game.

This is a game that is very different from the original Metroid in his memory, when Jester played this game on the NES, he didn't say anything, after putting the controller down, he closed his eyes, to be honest, he really admired the best designers of this era, what he didn't expect was that these designers' understanding of the game and design ideas would improve so fast.

This "Metroid" should not be a work that can be produced by a company that has just started to make this kind of act game, and the expression in this game is all the elements that an act game in this era can show that it should have, and it is simply flawless.

Thankfully, I didn't make an ACT game, especially since the plan for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was postponed at the time.

Because Jester knew that he himself didn't have the certainty to make an ACT game that was better than "Metroid", in the end, "Game" gave "Metroid" a score of 39 points, and the one point deducted was only because it was a Japanese game, and "Famitsu" did not hesitate to give this game a full score, this is the second time that "Famitsu" has given a game full score after "The Legend of Zelda".

And Nintendo is obviously extremely confident in this game, they have prepared a full hundred trial machines at the official release site, for players to participate in their launch ceremony to try out, of course, the time for each person to try out is also limited, according to Jester's visual inspection, there are at least thousands of people present, even if it is ten minutes per person, it may not be enough time for this day.

Jester didn't stay here for a long time, he had played it before, and he wasn't interested in trying it out, as for what to participate in the lottery of Nintendo's products, of course it was impossible for him to participate, otherwise, he, the head of Mars Entertainment, would he still have the cheekiness to participate in the lottery of his direct opponents?

There's one thing that makes Jester a little depressed, Sid. Mel's big sailing game broke his promise and promised to be released at the same time as Nintendo's Metroid, but because Sid. Mel's quest for perfection took even longer to be spent in the final revision phase than it was in development, and even in Jester's eyes, there was no loophole in the game. Mel still has a lot of dissatisfaction, except for modifying and modifying.

So much so that in the end, when "Metroid" was released, it was impossible to release it at the same time.

But fortunately, now the game has been officially completed, and the final version has been airlifted to Japan yesterday in the burning cassette factory for cassette, and the first batch of 200,000 cassettes will arrive in the United States by air in no later than five days.

And the hype for the game, which is named Age of Discovery, has been going on for a long time.

Jester didn't go to his directly operated flagship stores in Los Angeles, but went to large shopping malls and game counters.

The current situation Jester can't help but sigh with excellent emotion, but more than a year ago, in these shopping malls, it is simply regarded as a flood of game consoles, Atari's 2600 can even be sold at a discount, there is no so-called game area at all, but only more than a year later, not only in the shopping mall and the game console area has reappeared, but even in this Christmas shopping season, the sea is overcrowded.

In general, people in this era still regard game consoles as children's toys, and their understanding of game consoles is only for children to play, but there are also many fans of Mars Entertainment, who are older, but they are all under the age of twenty-three or four.

Fortunately, Jester is not short of those games full of innocence that are plagiarized more in the early days, especially with the game "Balotelli's Otherworldly Adventure" to calm the scene, although Nintendo's games are designed to meet the requirements of parents for games played by children, and they are also more in line with children's g-spot, but at least with such a game, it can also be on an equal footing with Nintendo in the children's market.

But at a slightly older age group, Nintendo is far from a lot of Martian entertainment's opponents.

You only need to see one or two from the counter of the mall where Jester is located, where there are a total of four cash registers, three of which are dedicated to dealing with the products of those who have purchased Mars Entertainment, and only one is used to deal with the game products of Nintendo and other companies.

It was in the corner of the game counter in this mall that Jester did find himself and the third game company other than Nintendo's game console.

The Atari 7200 console that was released last Christmas.

However, Jester observed here for about half an hour, and not a single player showed the slightest interest in the Atari console.

I don't even have to look at it. (To be continued) R655
