Yang Yun expected it right, Capcom and Nintendo, both of which are now in a state of difficulty sleeping.

The first to be hit was Capcom, and the two arcade games Yeti Brothers crashed!

After the successful development of the CPS1 substrate and the success of Street Fighter, the two games Yeti Brothers and Famous Generals entered Capcom's development queue from the end of 1989.

However, the Japanese stock market crash and economic downturn, the establishment of Fengyun Games, the defection of Chiba Akihara, the emergence of famous generals, and various uncontrollable events and strange events have all had a considerable impact on Capcom.

After the New Year, under the deliberate guidance of Yang Yun, Street Fighter and Fengyun's fighting game collided fiercely, and both of them made bold statements, forcing Kenzo Tsujimoto to change the focus of development and devote a lot of time and manpower to the development of Street Fighter 2.

Because this is something that has been announced to the whole of Japan and the global gaming community, Capcom can't afford to lose!

However, when Capcom was fully developing Street Fighter 2, he accidentally launched the famous name by Fengyun Company, and Kenzo Tsujimoto suffered a loss, and he couldn't find the person who leaked the secret, and he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

So with the lessons of the past, Kenzo Tsujimoto strengthened the secrecy about the development progress of the Yeti Brothers, and only arranged one team, with a total of only 3 engineers to continue the project, while the rest were transferred to the R&D team of Street Fighter 2.

But the butterfly effect is everywhere, and when one thing happens, it will affect the next series of things.

Originally, according to real history, Capcom should have launched the Yeti Brothers, but now the three of them have been artificially slowed down.

And the horse cool version of the Yeti Brothers. I just did it slowly, and I didn't care about it for a month in the middle. It turned out to be the first to be launched, and it was particularly coincidental. Only half a day ahead of Capcom!

The two companies crashed so awkwardly, and the game content was almost the same, which caused a burst of laughter from peers in the game console industry, especially Capcom, which followed in the footsteps of Fengyun and announced the release of a new game in the afternoon of the same day.

Indeed, this is really ridiculous. Fengyun Game Company and Capcom Company, in the eyes of many people, are no longer competitors, but good friends, good friends, sympathetic to each other, and can't help it.

NHK had just finished interviewing the Yeti Brothers press conference of Fengyun Games in the morning, and was sorting out the press release when he turned around, only to learn that Capcom also had a Yeti Brothers after half a day. So I went to the second press conference non-stop.

It's just that on the same day, NHK's news was full of ridicule: "If the famous Commando is a coincidence, then how can the Snowman brother explain it?" Capcom should not complain, nor should he blame all the problems on the unfounded leaks. Instead, it should be self-reflective! ”

The Asahi Shimbun's warning was even more deafening: "It's a rather foolish idea to expect your opponent to make mistakes in a cutthroat competition. In order for Japanese companies to be invincible, they must start by strengthening their own capabilities. Otherwise, this kind of thing will happen one after another. will make us suspect that the leaks of previous celebrities. Is it a huge lie deliberately spread by Capcom in order to divert the public's attention! ”

Games and anime have a profound impact on the Japanese economy, and Fengyun Game Software was the first Chinese company to enter Japan. It has brought about a sea change for Japanese game companies, so some neutral media are starting to think deeply.

The Tokyo Shimbun put it this way: "Norwegians love sardines, but sardines don't move, and they die soon after being caught by fishermen." To keep them active, fishermen throw a catfish into the fish tank and force the sardines to swim, which is known as the catfish effect. At a time when Japanese games are all over the world, many Japanese sardines have forgotten what a sense of urgency is, and the game software company from China is a catfish, and Japanese companies should see the warning from the middle, instead of blindly complaining! ”

Again, there is support, there is neutrality, there is opposition.

Fuji News, which specializes in black China, is particularly unkind, mainly accusing Chinese companies of having no moral bottom line and covering up various problems of Japanese companies: "It would be ridiculous if we could expect a country that does not even recognize intellectual property rights to produce some original games!" As we all know, Longteng Company started from piracy, and it used all kinds of business methods, plagiarizing Saloman Snake, plagiarizing famous generals, plagiarizing Snowman Brothers, and copying a Street Fighter in the future! ”

This news is very relieving for the opposition, but a reasonable person will know after careful thinking that there are many other games that have nothing to do with Japanese companies, such as Tetris, and Pokemon.

Fuji Shimbun has been criticized by many well-known figures in the Japanese game industry for such a partial generalization, and it has quickly set off a wave of reflection, treating Fengyun Game Software Company as a catfish, a flood beast, and the best prescription to stimulate Japanese companies to fight bravely.

As Japan's economy is showing a downward trend, and society needs this kind of stimulus, anime and games, as a pillar industry of the Japanese economy, must be prepared for danger in times of peace, have the courage to meet challenges, and play a leading role in revitalizing the economy.

In the political arena, in the news media, and in professional review magazines, they are all comparing Fengyun and Capcom, and comparing China's Longteng Company with Nintendo.

This is an advertisement that can't be begged for, Fengyun Company is on the list, Longteng Company is on the scene, Sega is also mentioned, and Nintendo has to be a negative teaching material again, and it is useless to be criticized by the industry.

Nintendo, the leader of the global gaming industry, is having a particularly hard time, and the launch of GameGear has caused them a heavy setback!

The GameBoy is now supported by Tetris, the GB port of Super Mario is not yet complete, and they use a black and white machine, how can they keep the colorful Mario charming?

Compared with the hardware data, GameBoy falls behind in all aspects.

Compared to the gameplay of the game, a single Pokemon made Nintendo's sales team miserable.

When the GameBoy was first launched, it carried the power of Nintendo's centennial celebration, and it was the first handheld game console in the whole shijie, which was novel and fun, so it sold almost 1 million units in the first month.

Now GameGear seems to have a tendency to break this record, and according to the data collected by all parties, it exceeded 1 million in the first month, so there should be no suspense.

Yokoi Junhei has a bitter heart, Nintendo is a predecessor planted trees, worked hard to fight the world, invested a lot of money in publicity, and finally let the world know what a handheld is, and they worked hard for a year to change the habits of players.

And Sega easily picked up a big bargain, without too much concept publicity, just need to come up with a handheld with a higher configuration than Nintendo, and the game is more fun, and it effortlessly conquers the customers who originally belonged to the Nintendo camp, so that they willingly take money out of their pockets.

In Yamauchi's office, Yokoi Junhei and Miyamoto Shigeru were silent, only listening to Yamauchi's anger.

There's no way not to be angry!

In the past year, Nintendo has suffered a series of blows, everything is not going well, the year is unfavorable, the only thing that took advantage of it is to snatch 8% of the shares from Hayabusa Nakayama and sell it back at a high price.

In the Nintendo camp, the Nintendo Six Tigers were basically sniped.

Tatio's business was frustrated, and the piracy of Little Bee Games was rampant all over the world, thanks to Chiyang Electronics Factory, Little Genius and many other pirate manufacturers, the boss of this company is a Russian Jew, the company's business scope is wide and complex, Lao Maozi's interest is attracted by karaoke machines, and he invests a lot of energy into this industry for in-depth research and development, and no longer cares about the development of video games.

Namco's business was frustrated, and the continent of Overlord was originally sold well in the Far East, but after the Dragon Teng Three Kingdoms came out, it snatched up at least half of the players at once, and it continued to lose, the main architect of the game, Akiko Kudo, resigned, the main designer Ando Shibu resigned, the Gundam project was stranded, and the video game was suspended across the board, and the investment in the operation of Internet cafes and amusement parks had to be increased.

Hudson and Jaleco have quietly developed games for other platforms because they do not accept Nintendo's patent sharing, and even secretly teamed up with NEC to develop new consoles, but no one expected that the money earned by these two companies in previous years was invested in real estate, and this time they lost a lot of money when the Japanese economy declined.

The worst are Konami and Capcom.

In addition to the Space Cruiser and Castlevania, Konami is still making profits, the Saloman Snake, the Red Fortress, and Contra are all sniped, the Saloman Snake is preemptively launched by the Dragon, and the Dragon Teng launches the death squad to confront the Red Fortress, and Contra is simply forced to give up all the rights by Yamauchi.

Konami also operates gambling machines in overseas countries and the national public health industry in Japan, and thanks to the support of these two businesses, the gaming division has been able to survive.

Capcom is stolen and the Snowman Brothers are caught in a whirlpool of media blame, but with Street Fighter on their back, they're only slightly stronger than Konami.

The Nintendo Six Tigers were forced to this point, and all of this was caused by that Chinese Dragon Entertainment Game Company!

Yamauchi Pu was already on the verge of going berserk, he held on to the table and chair, pressed his chest, and gasped.

"President! Do you want to take a break first? Shigeru Miyamoto is very worried about Yamauchi's health, he is 63 years old this year and is no longer a young man. (To be continued......)
