The dissected NEOGEO substrate is displayed in front of everyone at a glance.

Aside from the dual CPUs, the biggest difference from the CPS1 and KTM is that it uses a cassette console setting.

In the past, I used to make Contra arcade machines, and Sega was hard burning, one substrate and one game, and if it was broken, it would be repaired, and if it was not repaired, it would be bought again, and it could not be changed.

NEOGEO separates the cassette from the base, and you only need to change the game card to change the game, which saves the secondary development of the game manufacturer, and makes it more convenient for the owners of the game machine hall to buy.

Hayao Nakayama sneered: "He thinks that this kind of jishu, no other jishu manufacturer has ever thought about it?" If it's just to change the cassette, how will the motherboard be upgraded in the future? Does he think NEOGEO is a home TV game console like FC and MD? ”

Yang Yun laughed: "I know what they think, they are going to enter the video game industry!" ”

Nani!

The Japanese present were stunned that SNK was going to enter the video game industry and produce video game consoles!

Hayao Nakayama suddenly realized: "I finally understand that Weishenme Takado Yoshihiko has rejected my acquisition proposal so much!" It turns out that SNK's ambitions are so big! They wanted to create a console with NEOGEO as the core, combining arcade and video games all with cartridges, and their core jishu should be in the design of the game cartridge! ”

Yang Yun and Hayato Nakayama's estimation is not wrong at all, SNK is this purpose, and their ambitions have never been small!

The cake is so big, and Nintendo and Sega are already working against each other, where can SNK be allowed to come in?

That's a hammer. Hit!

And fight to the death!

Without Sega's help, Nintendo also took the initiative to raise the giant hammer this time. I'm ready to give this new generation of little brother a punch and beat the arrogant and uninhibited SNK president back to his original form!

Nintendo doesn't hurt Sega. Sega can't shake Nintendo, but if the two families bully SNK with an iron heart, it will be a piece of cake.

On August 1, 1990, under the pressure of aggressive Sega and the menacing SNK momentum, Nintendo released the shocking news that the 16-bit Super SFC console was officially released in Japan!

Compared to FC, the performance of this console has not been greatly improved, although it is a 16-bit CPU. However, the cache is particularly low, running at half the frequency of MD.

However, because it uses two graphics coprocessors, the data in memory and video memory are twice that of the Sega MD, and in terms of graphics processing, it is a little more advanced than the MD.

Before the SFC was launched, it received orders for 1.5 million units, and many parents queued up on August 1 to buy the game console for their children, and the huge flow of people even affected the traffic in Tokyo. This kind of scene is as rare as Pokemon and GameGear listings.

The Sega crowd faced a severe test, and Yang Yun personally sat in Japan to inspect the sales of the TV game lord Heaven. Consult with your own think tank on urgency.

At this time, the most depressed and headache person is none other than SNK. Their NEOGEO arcade machine didn't sell well, and the video game console was still in development. Now I can only grit my teeth and resist and try all kinds of ways to get through this difficulty.

Three confronts. Any decision made by either will affect the performance of the other two.

Nintendo, carrying the super-mandate, is ready to sweep the entire Japanese market, hit Sega, and hit SNK.

But how can Yang Yun be so easy to get along with?

Sega held a press conference on August 2nd, this time launching multiple games at once, which shocked the industry!

……

……

In the Sankei Shimbun, the editor-in-chief Yoshida Ryo was listening to the reports of his reporters, and after a long time, he frowned and asked, "Nintendo launched SFC yesterday, did their old rival Sega react?" ”

A reporter shook his head: "SFC swept Japan as a king, and Sega and Fengyun Company did not react at all, it seems that they have no way to deal with it." ”

Yoshida Liang breathed a sigh of relief and was very relieved: "It's best if you don't have it!" The momentum of the industry hegemon is to be so strong, Sega only occupies 25% of the market share, how can it compare with Nintendo? Hum! ”

The reporters chimed in and laughed.

Yoshida was about to end the meeting, when the internal phone rang, he frowned and answered, and an urgent voice came from inside: "SNK holds an emergency press conference!" It's the latest NEOGEO game release, and I've heard there's bigger news to announce! There are still 2 hours to go, do we need to send someone over? ”

Yoshida Ryo quickly calculated, according to the information he got from the professionals, SNK's ambitions are not small, and this time I am afraid the news will be explosive!

"Go! Send that group of Miyagi over! ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Yoshida's mouth, the two armies faced each other, and a third party was killed from the side, which was getting better and better!

Jingle Bell ......

The phone rang again, Yoshida Liang held it up, and a more urgent voice came out: "Sega is also holding a press conference today!" ”

Yoshida Liang's ears instantly stood up, his pupils widened, and he was excited: "Send someone!" What are you waiting for? ”

But the voice instantly cried: "But they didn't inform us...... This is what other peers have told! ”

"Baga!" Yoshida Ryoshi is furious!

What is a news medium? sacred, free, inviolable, and even above the battlefield!

The little Sega held a press conference without informing itself, how could the Sankei Shimbun be insulted at will?

Yoshida Ryoshi patted the table and stood up: "By the night!" I'll let you personally lead the team, rush to the scene of Sega's press conference, and then humiliate him fiercely! ”

The reporter named Yuya proudly agreed and quickly walked out of the editor-in-chief's office, but after a while, he ran back crying and sad: "Sega's press conference in Osaka this time has already begun......"

Yoshida Ryo was dumbfounded, weren't the headquarters of Fengyun and Sega always in Tokyo?

Weishenme will be held in Osaka this time?

Yang Yun sat on the rostrum, smiling, listening to the Zhongshan Falcon fighting the heroes, which stimulated a group of reporters to the fullest.

This is the press conference of the new product, the arcade game Knights of the Round Table and the novel "King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table" by Chinese writer Liu Cixing are on sale.

A Chinese writer writes European legendary novels, and many French and English literary masters have written them hundreds of years ago, outlining the image of King Arthur, not only words, but also songs and plays, which are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Europe.

How much courage must this Chinese writer have to do such a thing that dares to challenge the classics!

Many people asked: "Is it too funny for Chinese to write European literature?" ”

Hayao Nakayama replied, "Isn't it funny for the Japanese to make European games?" ”

The Round Table Samurai has been demonstrated to everyone before the press conference, with handsome movements, exquisite backgrounds, characters that are not much different from legends, and quite interesting and innovative designs, which have made all professional game media reporters applaud, and some non-professional media are also quite shocking!

If the answer is yes, it is self-deprecation, and if the answer is not, then why should China and Japan be treated differently?

None of them are Europeans, and logically speaking, they are not qualified to do European things, and they cannot favor one over the other.

The next person asked, "Will this book be bundled with the Knights of the Round Table baseboard game?" ”

Hayao Nakayama nodded: "Of course it is!" Literature and games complement each other, and the Chinese version of the Three Kingdoms game and the Three Kingdoms interpretation book provide a new idea for consumers who like the culture of the Three Kingdoms, so that consumers can broaden their horizons, which is the real interpretation and respect for culture! ”

Fortunately, the following questions did not involve Liu Cixing's novel again, and everyone had all kinds of questions about the Round Table Samurai arcade game, and then linked to the new motherboard released by SNK before, and asked a lot of questions.

"Will SNK's NEOGEO substrate have an impact on Sega's arcade market share?"

"Nope! NEOGEO has just been launched, and even if there is a new game, it will definitely not be a match for our Sega games! ”

"It is said that SNK is interested in entering the video game market, does Sega have a plan to deal with it?"

"Let him in! Nintendo will eat all the bones it eats! ”

"President Nakayama, do you mean that Sega will not deal with SNK, let the two of them fight against each other, and then Sega will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"

"You're still asking such an idiotic question? Nintendo's SFC is in a hurry to release, isn't it just to suppress SNK? We Sega don't have to give orders at all, Nintendo will rush to work for me! ”

Hayao Nakayama never leaves Nintendo in three sentences, and treats it as a dog calling, worthy of being a person who makes Nintendo feel disgusting when he is alive!

After finally surviving the content of the Round Table Samurai, the next step is the release of a new game from GameGear.

The new game will be released as soon as it is released, and it will be such a big jiashi, could it be that this game will make people shine, and Pokemon can't help but be able to stop?

You know, how long has Pokemon been on the market? It's only a month or two, if you want to say that it sells well, then you have to wait for half a year and a year to see the effect, right? With only more than 3 million sales, you are in such a hurry to develop a new game?

Many reporters are not optimistic about this handheld game called "Flappy-Bird", Flying Bird, what kind of broken game is this?

Because of the first launch of the GameGear, many of the reporters who attended the press conference received a GameGear as a small gift, so this time the Sega staff only distributed some game cards.

Hayao Nakayama replied with a smile, "Now that the press conference is suspended for 10 minutes, please play this game with the reporters who got the card and see what magic it has." (To be continued......)
