Chapter 211: Mocking Capcom and SNK (Asking for Votes)

The applause did not stop, and the production team such as Hayao Miyazaki, Jean Hisaishi, Rika Matsumoto, and Tomo Tajiri took the stage and bowed deeply to thank everyone for their support.

"Great!" The famous film critic Saike Maedo shook hands with Miyazaki and exclaimed, "Director Miyazaki, your work has more depth!" It makes people laugh and think deeply! ”

"Mr. Xiexie Front Hall!" Miyazaki smiled and bowed slightly.

At the same time, some other film critics and friends in the animation industry came to congratulate them.

"You ...... You guys...... Woo woo...... "A little girl ran over, with tears on her face, looking aggrievedly at the members of the Pokemon production team who were surrounded by the crowd.

At this time, Kato Masayuki hurried from behind, hugged the little girl, and whispered: "Kami, there are so many people, it's dangerous to run around." ”

Hayao Miyazaki, Tomotomo Tajiri and others all saw Masayuki Kato and waved to him with a smile.

I only heard Kami in Kato Masayuki's arms crying, "You guys...... Can...... Don't let Mewtwo go bad...... Woowoo...... It's so pathetic......"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then Miyazaki laughed, walked over and touched Kami's head lovingly, and said: "Mewtwo is actually a reflection of human nature, a mixture of some bad emotions, this topic is very heavy, but it can't be avoided." But I promise you, I'll shoot you a perfect finale in the future, okay? ”

Kami's eyes widened, tears rolling in her sockets, and she asked tremblingly, "Really?" ”

Tomoya Tajiri came over and said sincerely, "It's true! Say yes with me? Mewtwo, I'm right here! ”

"Mewtwo...... I'm right here......" Kami's mood is finally a little better. In the persuasion of everyone, he slowly returned to normal.

Yang Yun stood beside Tajiri. Give him a thumbs up: "Ash, Xiexie, you brought us such a haode gift!" ”

Tian Jiri said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Yang for giving me such a stage!" ”

Yang Yun smiled. He can copy the Pokemon game, but he still can't replace Tajiri's position, and he can't give the Pokemon their respective souls, and the real Father of Pocket is still the genius designer, at this time, he felt it deeply.

At the end of the ceremony, everyone in the audience received a super gift package from Sega.

There is a set of Pokemon regular version of the game battle cards, a set of King of Fighters manga imported from Hong Kong and published by Shogakukan, and a game card of Climax Light and Liliang. A copy of the Dragon Pharaoh's Legend of Heroes 1 game card and a copy of Square Enix's Final Fantasy 123 cartridge each are rich in content, playable and giveaway, making Sega game fans happy.

After the general audience left the venue one by one, the TV reporters and special guests also received a gift from Sega, mainly based on Sega's latest products, and compared with ordinary audiences, there were more video cassettes than ordinary audiences. Mewtwo codes and vouchers that can be exchanged for any product up to 100,000 yen at Sega specialty stores around the world.

In the evening news of the same day, reports about the Sega celebration came out.

There is no doubt that Sega has gained the attention of the people of the whole country. NHK even set aside a 10-minute feature story, the first page of the next day's professional media, and the cover of a game magazine. All of them occupy the commanding heights of Sega and Longteng.

And the first and hardest hit are Capcom and SNK.

Tsujimoto and Takado Yoshihiko sat together again. They couldn't remember all the rhetoric they had ever said.

Now they are like defeated lost dogs, each slumping on the sofa.

The school holiday launches the Capcom-VS-SNK game. This jihua was decided two months ago, and the two companies were full of confidence and ambition, and even took out the publicity plan, and they were counting on making a big profit in the summer vacation.

However, the two finally kept an eye on it, and before announcing it to the media, they secretly inquired about the situation of Sega, and learned that Sega would hold an anniversary celebration in early July, which happened to conflict with the school holiday schedule.

After a long debate in the initial hesitation, the two finally decided that the two companies would only announce the approximate release date to the media, without specifying the date, and that they would wait and see what the results of the Sega celebrations would be.

Then, this is the result they waited, they did wait and see, but the change in Sega made them unacceptable, and both of them felt a deep despair.

The SEGA 32-bit substrate effect continues to crush the 16+16 NEOGEO substrate.

The perfection of the character image of the Battle of Red Cliffs is above that of CVS.

Guan Zhang Zhao crushed Long and Ken in all aspects.

Son Sang-hyang crushes all the female characters in CVS.

The combo effect of 10 hits is several times more gorgeous than the effect of CVS combat.

A side-scrolling arcade game that achieves more professional fighting techniques than a professional fighting game.

Sandeve Beach! These are the words that the two of them have silently recited in their hearts countless times.

"What do you think, President Takado?"

"President Tsujimoto, what can I think? What do you think? ”

"Continue to postpone the release?"

"What else could I do?"

“……”

The two of them had no desire to speak again, and their faces were tired and could not be concealed.

Half a year ago, Capcom was stunned by the King of Fighters, and Tsujimoto was forced to hold hands with Yoshihiko Takado, turning from a mortal enemy into an ally to deal with the game together.

But half a year later, the two are full of confidence, and the professional-level fighting game carefully built is not even as good as the fighting effect of a side-scrolling game.

With the CPS1 substrate developed for 1 billion yen, Capcom only created a much-criticized Street Fighter 1, barely recovering its cost.

The 1.8 billion yen developed NEOGEO substrate, which has been on the market for a year, has only made a half-finished hungry wolf legend, and CVS, which is completely afraid to launch the market, is far away.

Isn't it shameful enough to take out CVS in this situation?

If you force it to be sold, of course, there will be players who will play it, but it must be a choice made by players who are really bored, and maybe it will be ridiculed as a child's thing by other players waiting in line to play The King of Fighters.

If this is the end, then it is better not to go public.

So soon, Capcom missed the contract again, and Tsujimoto announced that the fighting game jointly created by Capcom and SNK continued to delay the launch time for some reason.

The news sparked a lot of ridicule in the Japanese gaming industry, with the heads of several game production companies falling into the trap and expressing their goodwill to Sega.

Tatio Taidong Company, which has shifted its focus to the karaoke machine industry, said to the media that "SNK liked to integrate song sound cards on game boards in the early years, and it was a waste that such jishu did not need to be used on karaoke machines." Hey, President Yoshihiko Takado, what other games are you doing? Anyway, no matter how hard you try, you can't do it, why don't you come and provide me with a sound card, the karaoke industry is really profitable, I'll give you a good price! ”

The remarks caused an uproar in the media circles and set off a prelude to ridicule Capcom and SNK.

SNK's famous work "Athena" started with a sound card, and when SNK almost went bankrupt a few years ago, the company's top management gave it a go and integrated a self-developed sound card in the "Athena" game, which can play pop songs, and in the case of other companies' arcade games that can only play a single sound, it reversed the decline in one fell swoop and successfully reborn.

Tatio's transformation was also a last resort, as one of the former Nintendo Six Tigers, after being oppressed and powerless, they had to develop into karaoke commercial machines, but they were fortunate to succeed in the transformation and became one of the most famous karaoke machine makers in Japan.

At the same time, Ivanov did not forget to show goodwill to Sega: "President Nakayama, let's find a chance to sing together, I remember that your singing of the four seasons is really good!" ”

For this reason, Hayao Nakayama also echoed in the media: "President Ivanov, I am more willing to drink vodka and share caviar with you!" Cheers! ”

Tatio was triumphant, and Tecmo couldn't help but speak, the well-known company that developed Ninja Gaiden and had joined the Sega camp as a producer of action games.

The 24-year-old Itagaki has just joined the company, and this arrogant programmer has the support of the company and pats the master's ass: "The four most hated fighting games of our Tecmo are Street Fighter 1, 2, 3, 4, oh, it seems that Street Fighter 2, 3, and 4 have not been made now, right?" It's okay, I hope Capcom doesn't keep doing it, it's a waste of time! I changed to the hungry wolf legend 1,2,3,4 that hates SNK the most, okay! Oh my gosh, the legend of the hungry wolf doesn't have 2, 3, 4 either! ”

The media daxiao, in the midst of fueling the fire, unconsciously Yang Yun's famous sentence, "The XXX I hate the most are XXX1,2,3,4" This format of the statement became a popular phrase in Japan in 1991.

When Yang Yun heard this kind of mouth cannon, he almost didn't laugh.

His famous quote came from the mouth of Itagaki Banshin after 2000, and the original words were "The five games I hate the most are Tekken 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!" Now it's been used as a mantra by Itagaki himself and has become a provocative phrase to attack Capcom and SNK, which is really interesting!

Tecmo, a company that saw the popularity of the arcade industry, took refuge in Sega in the first half of this year, and made Ninja Dragon Sword 1,2,3, and even the GameGear version was made, and I don't know if it was a problem of luck or a problem with its own management, or it failed to become popular.

However, I believe that after this mouth cannon incident, Tecmo will also be on fire!

In addition to industry peers, the media has added fuel to the fire. (To be continued......)
