Coming out of Nintendo's headquarters, Yuji Hikai could no longer hide the excitement in his heart, he waved his fist fiercely, and Koichi Sukiyama next to him was also happy, and in the morning, when they were called to Nintendo to say that there was something important to discuss, they knew that their game might have been agreed to be released.

However, to their surprise, they were received by two heavyweights, Shigeru Miyamoto and Gunpei Yokoi, at the same time.

Even in the end, even Mr. Yamauchi, who heard that he was extremely strict, talked to him for a few minutes and expressed the importance he attached to himself, although he also felt that his "Dragon Quest" production was very much to his liking, but it was still surprising that he could really get the appreciation of these seniors in the industry.

"We need to get the news to Toriyama-kun and Koichi Nakamura, and if they know that we got most of Nintendo's promises this time, then I think they'll be as excited as we are!"

Koichi Sukiyama, the soundtrack of "Dragon Quest", kept talking to Yuji Mikui, who was a friend of Yuji Yui, and this was the first time he was working on a game soundtrack, and in the previous Nintendo headquarters, especially his soundtrack in the game was highly appreciated by Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto.

"Hmm."

Yuji Tsukai also kept nodding, and he also said excitedly: "I should tell everyone the news, so that everyone knows about it, and President Fukushima, if Mr. President Yamauchi knows the promise made by Mr. Yamauchi, he will definitely faint happily." ”

"yes!" Koichi Sugiyama also kept echoing, he knew what Yuji Tsukai was talking about, although the conditions in President Yamauchi's promise were very harsh, but if he could really complete it this time, then Enix, a small game company that is not yet in the stream, will become a game company that is enough for the six major software vendors.

Just after Jester got the news that "Dragon Quest" was approved by Nintendo, Nintendo immediately launched an overwhelming promotion for this game. Whether it's Japan or the U.S., basically TV, media, interviews, basically everywhere.

And "Famitsu" also got the cassette of "Dragon Quest" at the first time, and also made a very detailed report on this game in their latest issue, and finally gave a high score of 39 points.

For this game, Jester is not too worried about the market outside of Japan.

Because the memory in his mind had already told him. This Japanese-style RPG game is difficult to open the market outside of Japan, especially in Europe and the United States, and the actual sales also confirm this.

Even if there is a big change between the current game and what he knows, the maker has not changed, and in this era, Yuji Zui is still in charge of the script and Koichi Sugiyama is in charge of the soundtrack. Akira Toriyama was in charge of the original drawings and the specific procedural work, which was also outsourced to Koichi Nakamura's small company.

The game done by these people, no matter how much it is changed, will not be changed out of a Japanese RPG.

But in the Japanese market. This game, however, is catastrophic.

Of course, the disaster came for other game companies, especially their own direct competitors to Nintendo.

Come to think of it. Jester called Hironobu Sakaguchi in Japan, and it was just over six o'clock in the morning in Japan, and he thought about the phone for a while. Jester heard a slightly lazy voice on the other end of the phone, apparently because the owner of the voice hadn't slept well.

"Sakaguchi, how's the progress of Final Fantasy?"

Hearing Jester's voice, Hironobu Sakaguchi immediately came to his senses, and he replied almost immediately: "The test is over, we are making final corrections based on the test feedback received, and the official version will be available in about a week." ”

Hearing Hironobu Sakaguchi's unmistakable answer, Jester was also a little relieved, he hadn't seen what Hirobu Sakaguchi's "Final Fantasy" looked like in this world, and it was unknown whether Yuji Hiroshi's "Dragon Quest" was the same as he remembered.

He didn't take the initiative to arrange this Japanese national RPG battle, it can only be said that it was a coincidence, so that the two games were completed almost at the same time, maybe there is a providence in the dark.

Therefore, after getting Hironobu Sakaguchi's reply, Jester immediately asked all its companies to start building momentum for "Final Fantasy".

Its momentum is so great that it is even more powerful than Nintendo.

Kyoto, Nintendo headquarters, the name Nintendo is also very interesting, when Yamauchi Pu's ancestors took this name, they thought of an ancient saying of zg, called planning in people, success in heaven, and this is also the meaning of Nintendo.

Jester's start of a large-scale promotion of a game naturally alarmed their direct competitor Nintendo, and Nintendo knew very little about this game called Final Fantasy, which was not the work of Jester or the most important development groups or studios in Mars Entertainment.

The maker of this game is called Hironobu Sakaguchi, and more than a year ago he was just an ordinary Japanese university student, working in game development in a game company that doesn't even have a name, and Jester doesn't know where he heard about such a character, and was brought to the United States to participate in the development of Jester's several large-scale games, especially "Fire Emblem", and then was put back in Japan by Jester, and set up a development team in Japan, which developed this game called "Final Fantasy".

"Miyamoto, have you ever heard of Hironobu Sakaguchi?" Yamauchi asked.

Hearing his president ask himself, Shigeru Miyamoto bowed down respectfully, and then shook his head slightly: "I haven't heard of it, in fact, we don't pay much attention to the Japanese branch of Mars Entertainment, thinking that they are just doing publicity, even if they are making games, it is not worth mentioning, this time if it weren't for Mars Entertainment to do such a large-scale promotion, I might not know that they are making a game called "Final Fantasy". ”

Yamauchi Pu has heard Miyamoto Shigeru personally say about his evaluation of "Dragon Quest", and for Miyamoto Shigeru's understanding of the game, Yamauchi Pu is extremely trusting, and in his memory, Miyamoto Shigeru has never let him down in terms of games.

However, although Final Fantasy was just a human-made game that he had never heard of before, and it was done by a team of Japanese people who had been in Japan all the time, 108,000 miles away from the United States, the team was unlikely to know about Jester, and he had no reason to care too much about the game.

However, somehow, in his heart, he still has a trace of inexplicable concern about this game, and he himself doesn't know where this worry comes from, logically speaking, with his understanding of the game industry, this kind of game development has never been carried out, and it is too difficult to succeed in the first development, or the most difficult RPG game.

However, he still asked Shigeru Miyamoto again: "Do you really think that "Dragon Quest" can exceed one million sales in Japan?" ”

This time Shigeru Miyamoto nodded directly and resolutely, and said without the slightest hesitation: "Actually, this game has been a little famous before.,After all, it's Mr. Akira Toriyama's character design.,And he also promoted this game on jump.,Many people who don't have our game consoles also know about such a game through Mr. Akira Toriyama.,And I tried it.,It's really very exquisite.,In the plot.,Music.,It's a perfect work in terms of picture.。 ”

Hearing that Miyamoto Shigeru spoke so highly of this game, the old man Yamauchi was also slightly relieved, he knew the power of Jester this young man during this time, especially in game development, and even faintly higher than Miyamoto Shigeru.

But since Shigeru Miyamoto said so, Old Man Yamauchi also feels that this time it should be stable, no matter how good the "Final Fantasy" promoted by Mars Entertainment this time is, it cannot be better than "Dragon Quest", the relaxed Old Man Yamauchi casually asked Miyamoto Shigeru again, and said: "If you are asked to make Zuò This "Dragon Quest", can you make Zuò still good?" ”

Faced with this question, Shigeru Miyamoto frowned slightly, as if he was thinking for a while, and he said truthfully: "It can only be said that the style is different, I am not good at making a game that is too heavy and the wind is too heavy, if I am asked to do it, it may become a game with a completely different style - but it is certain that there will be no Dragon Quest that will be popular with local players." ”

Old man Yamauchi nodded slightly after hearing this: "Are you really optimistic about this game's performance in the Japanese market?" What about overseas markets? ”

This time Shigeru Miyamoto thought for an extraordinarily long time, he pursed his lips, and it took a few minutes before he began to answer: "President, I'm not a game marketer, I can only analyze this game from the perspective of a game designer, I can only say that when this game is made, it is completely in line with our Japanese preferences to make zuò, whether it is the style of painting, music or language, I think there are advantages and disadvantages to doing this, I have said the advantages before, as for the disadvantages, it is what you said before, It may be a cold reception in overseas markets. ”

Hearing Miyamoto Shigeru's answer, the old man Yamauchi was also a little dissatisfied, but after all, this was just a prediction, he waved his hand, and let Miyamoto Shigeru leave, and then he turned back to the text of his promise that he had told the people of Enix before.

Looking at the above clause that as long as the local sales of "Dragon Quest" can exceed one million, then he will give Enix the same treatment as Namco, the old man Yamauchi finally showed a smile on his face, and he muttered quietly.

"If you can sell 1 million games in Japan, then in the U.S., there will be at least a few hundred thousand games!" (To be continued......) R861
