Three days later, the first batch of metal warheads was released, which was reported by FAMI on the first day.

"No one expected that when the other side of the clouds and mountains was just emerging, the Qin Dynasty would develop this game silently. Metal slug, not a domestic machine, but an arcade machine that only one was developed in the Qin Dynasty? "Japan, Hyogo Prefecture, National Kobe University, a group of classmates from the video game club, holding the newly released FAMI pass, all stared at each other.

Everyone is still waiting for the other side of the clouds and mountains, and suddenly add an alloy slug?

But......

Everyone's eyes fell on the rating, four 9s, which made everyone feel excited.

With a total score of 36 points, Platinum Palace!

"A platinum-level game?" I don't know how many players, seeing this rating, they all feel a flower in front of them, and then they are excited.

In this issue, the entire FAMI is on this platinum-level game, and the excitement is, how can such a classic game not be played?

FAMI's influence in this era is huge, not only in Japan, but also in Europe and the United States, and no one will doubt its platinum-level games.

"Bring the money!" "Hurry up and check it out! Did you enter the nearby arcade? "This is a platinum game that FAMI has reviewed! I'm so sorry for myself not to play! "The platinum game in the arcade seems to be a famous game this year, right? This is the second part? "Haha, save money, convenient, love the platinum of the arcade!"

Everyone, looking forward to seeing what exactly an Metal Slug is. Although they don't doubt the FAMI score, they want to see what's good? Why is this score awarded?

In Kobe Prefecture, when many high school and college players rushed into the arcade hall after school, they found that they were definitely not the first to arrive, and there were already many people standing before the two Metal Slug heads. The noise can be heard even at the door.

"Eat H-bombs!" "You have to use R bombs here, you can save it! Aren't you afraid of death? "It's time for the boss! It's time for the boss! This boss I know, it's a mummy, four! ”

The cheers and shouts were all boiling because of this game. The production concept of being a ninja for several years ahead of the famous players of this era, and a generation of masterpieces in the history of arcades, completely ignited the enthusiasm of players.

The unique enemies and bosses, the branching plot, the hidden easter eggs everywhere, the difficulty is not low, and the details are all ahead of the "famous generals" who are on fire, and the result is ......

On the machine of the famous general, only Capcom fans, and Metal Slug players who can't line up are playing. At most four or five, and next to the machine of the Metal Slug, a dozen people have long been surrounded!

The number of coins in the machine shows that it is 23! This means that after this player, twenty-three players are already eager to put their coins into the machine. They won't wait in line to be the first to play this platinum title!

"It's finally my ......" An hour later, a player whose face was red while waiting rolled up his sleeves and stood in the 1P position, his excited look couldn't be concealed at all, he rubbed his hands fiercely, and was eager to try.

"Arima-kun, it's finally your turn! Be sure to clear the level! The partner next to him patted him on the shoulder with great interest. An hour of watching from the sidelines has completely whetted their appetite.

The desert in the first level and the mummy in the second level are completely different from the enemies in the previous levels! Each level is like opening a new gift box, and no one can guess what's inside!

"It's only the fourth level at most, I must break through it!"

I have to say that Arima's skills are really good, and after observing it for so long, he is the first person to break through to the fifth level.

When the four alien mummies in the fourth level fell under the bullets, he let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and laughed: "What a refreshing game!" ”

The exhilarating sense of blows, the whimsical level design, the many more mounts than the famous generals, the bullets, and the hidden levels that barely appear now, each of them stirred his heart and urged him to keep playing.

"It's so much more fun than the famous general!" He looked at the scoring screen with burning eyes, smiled and licked his lips chapped from excitement: "Camels, spaceships, boats, planes, robots...... Each level has a new mount! The boss is even more dazzling! Refreshing! It's so refreshing! ”

He rested his hand and looked at the scoring screen, but the friends around him stopped doing it.

Rest hair! Didn't you see so many people still waiting to see it?

"Hey! Fast! Fast! No one has seen this arcade yet! "Yes! We're all waiting! There are more than a dozen coins in the back! "Speed! I'm waiting to see what's next! ”

Their mood is both happy and depressed, I don't know how many people want to go into battle in person, but seeing the "master" hit the fifth level at one time, they really want to watch it.

As long as the arcade of the metal slug arrives, there is a big craze in Europe and the United States. The players are happy, and the manufacturers are even happier.

"Ninety thousand?!" In Australia, the arcade dealer responsible for the release of the Metal Slug looked at the sales volume in the past few days in amazement, and after a few seconds, his mouth was smiling from ear to ear.

An arcade machine costs only three or four hundred dollars, but the wholesale price is a thousand dollars! In their hands and sold to other branches, they can't take it without 1,100 dollars. 90,000 units, that's millions of profits!

"Last year...... Street Fighter shipped 4 million units worldwide and made a profit of hundreds of millions of ...... Could it be that there will be a second street fighter this year? ”

"Platinum Works ......" I don't know how many electronic entertainment companies in Japan, and when I saw this issue of FAMI, I felt powerless.

Platinum works, any company can eat one for several years, and here in the Qin Dynasty, it is like boiled water, and each one is at least 33 points or more. Not to mention the development of a new work, even if a sequel is developed, at least one more four or five years can be eaten.

"This is a silent beating...... Namco, Nakamura Masaya sighed, put down FAMI, rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "I sent someone to understand the sales share of the Qin Dynasty in the past two days, and there is no news yet?" ”

"Already." The assistant respectfully took over a piece of information: "Within two days, the world has shipped, and the estimated number of shipments is 820,000 units. It is expected that the profit before tax will be more than 80 million. ”

"Eighty million ......" Nakamura Masaya's throat was a little hoarse, and he muttered: "How many companies have a one-year profit plan that is less than one-tenth of this target...... He is nearly 100 million ...... in a few months It is true that there is the brand of the Qin Dynasty in it...... However, his empire is already beginning to emerge......"

"Let's get out." Masaya Nakamura didn't know what he was thinking, and waved his hand to the assistant: "Let Iwatani come over." ”

Toru Iwatani came over quickly. Masaya Nakamura didn't say anything, and as soon as he put the two-day sales record of the metal slug in front of him, he closed his eyes and recuperated.

"Eight, eighty million!?" Toru Iwatani only glanced at it, and his eyeballs almost didn't pop out: "It's only been two days!" Is it going to surpass last year's Street Fighter record of 4 million!? ”

"It doesn't matter." Nakamura Masaya's eyes opened faintly: "The important thing is that Qin Jun is telling us, let's choose a side as soon as possible." ”

"But......" he turned his head, his eyes fiery "the other day, Sega came to look for me. Just after we came back from China. ”

"Sega?" Toru Iwatani frowned slightly: "Their MD sells very well...... It even suppressed the sales volume of SFC. What are they looking for us for? ”

Nakamura Masaya looked at the locked door and carefully pulled out a business card from his arms, and Iwatani was about to pick it up, but Nakamura Masaya grabbed his hand along with the business card.

"Don't tell others......" Masaya Nakamura leaned over, lowered his voice, and said solemnly: "If you see it, forget it...... Then, let's talk about how to do it......"

Toru Iwatani was just curious, but at this moment, he took a deep look at Masaya Nakamura and solemnly accepted the business card.

"Giga-Drive R&D team?" He frowned slightly.

There is nothing surprising about this, people are acquaintances, and companies are familiar companies...... He looked at Nakamura Masaya again, and the other party said lightly, "Turn it over." ”

Iwatani turned it over and looked at it for a while, and his eyes lit up.

"Hayao Nakayama?" He gasped, compared to the Qin Dynasty and Nintendo, Sega is undoubtedly low-key, but his strength is definitely not weak! It is much stronger than the Qin Dynasty.

"The SEGASaturn program?" He frowned again: "SEGASaturn...... Sega's ...... Saturn? ”

"Don't you understand...... "Masaya" Nakamura restrained any hint of jokingness: "It's a big plan...... Yesterday, it was David Rosen of Sega. Rosen. A business card from David himself. And tell us in detail...... It's a huge hardware plan......"

"Rosen. David? Iwatani was even more suspicious: "Haven't you heard of this person?" ”

"That's because you're too ...... senior," Masaya Nakamura said with a dry smile on his face: "Sega's story...... It's a very old story...... DID YOU KNOW...... Why has Sega been banned and impacted by Nintendo several times, but it can still come back to life? Do you know why Sega's business has expanded so quickly? ”

Iwatani listened attentively, he didn't believe it, what other secrets did Sega have? He has been in contact with this company for more than ten years, and what secrets have not been revealed by the world?

Rosen. David?

He thought about it so many times that he couldn't remember the man's name.

"Lawson Davy? Giga－Drive？ SEGASaturn？ At the same time, at the foot of Mount Tai, Qin Yuanfeng was holding a business card in his hand, his face was extremely solemn, and he looked at Yoichi Wada, who was still panting slightly in front of him, his eyes flashed: "Sega invites you to join the SEGASaturn program?" ”
