Chapter 344: Nintendo's Rating
"Oh no, was Lao Tzu used by that little bastard!" Hironobu Sakaguchi is not a fool after all, after the anger, Hironobu Sakaguchi, who calmed down again, gradually returned to a trace of taste.
However, this Sakaguchi Hironobu doesn't know much about what traffic marketing is, so although he felt that something was wrong, he never grasped the point, but decided that he must contact some of his friends in the circle after he went back, and the editors-in-chief of some magazines scolded "Pokemon" fiercely, so that this game has not yet begun to be released, and the word of mouth has exploded.
Of course, the premise is that "Pokemon" must pass Nintendo's review, otherwise you don't even need to scold.
Just when Hiroshi Sakaguchi was pondering with confidence, the door of the conference room was finally pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in, this man was naturally Tajiri's good friend, Shigeru Miyamoto.
"Hello gentlemen!" Shigeru Miyamoto first greeted the two of them at the same time, and then squeezed Tajiri's eyes.
"Mr. Miyamoto, what is the final result of the audit?" Hironobu Sakaguchi was very proud and arrogant in front of Tajiri Tomo, but in front of Miyamoto Shigeru, he couldn't be arrogant, because at this time Miyamoto Shigeru had already made Super Mario Bros., at this time, various versions of the Super Mario Bros. game, and the final sales exceeded 100 million copies, an unimaginable number.
You know, the price of a Super Mario Bros. is as high as $49, which means that Nintendo has sold at least $4.9 billion with just one Super Mario Bros., which is simply a money-making machine for Tianzi!
And for Shigeru Miyamoto, who was able to develop such a game, Hironobu Sakaguchi definitely didn't dare to be disrespectful.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with Final Fantasy!" Shigeru Miyamoto nodded and said, "We have conducted a 10-day BUG test on the GB version of Final Fantasy 5, and finally got 19 points on system stability, which perfectly passed the test of the preliminary review!" ”
"In the review link, after the review of the three game editors, I got 15 points for gameplay, 16 points for art, 18 points for operability, 16 points for others, and the final score was 84 points, which is quite a beautiful result, and successfully passed the review score!"
"84 points on review!" Hironobu Sakaguchi nodded, this score was as he expected, and it was a relatively high score.
You must know that Nintendo's internal evaluation and scoring standards are very strict, with a full score of 100 points, only 30% of games can get a passing score of 60 points, and games with more than 80 points can basically be ranked in the top 10 games of the year.
For example, the final score of the Final Fantasy 5fc version of the game is 83 points, which is one point lower than now, mainly because it was launched in a hurry at that time, and the game still had some bugs, which was one point less stable in the system.
And this time in the GB version, there are naturally a lot fewer bugs, and other aspects are in the same vein as the fc version, without any changes, and the score will naturally not change at all.
"What about the final score?" Hironobu Sakaguchi asked again.
"After the final review by me and several other colleagues, I think that the score of 84 points is in line with the final score of this game, and through the final review, as long as Mr. Sakaguchi signs this agreement, I can arrange for the burning factory to burn the cassette, and it can be put on sale next month!" Shigeru Miyamoto said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Miyamoto!" Although he had already guessed this result, Hironobu Sakaguchi breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard the final news. After all, as long as there is a tyrant like Yamauchi, everything is unstable.
After his game passed the review, Hironobu Sakaguchi set some hateful eyes on Jia Yapeng and others on the other side.
"Tajiri Chi, did you provoke Hironobu Sakaguchi?" Seeing Hironobu Sakaguchi's gaze, even Shigeru Miyamoto, who was born with some nervousness, felt that something was wrong.
But he couldn't care about it, looking at the expectant Tajiri and smiling, "Mr. Tajiri, we conducted a 20-day stability audit of the GB version of "Pokemon", and the final stability score was 18 points! ”
"Whew!" Hearing this, Tajiri Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, the full score of stability is 20 points, and the passing score is 16 points, if you can't reach a passing score of 16 points, it means that the operation of the game is unstable, and there will be a great possibility of crashing, and it is impossible to pass even the preliminary review, let alone the next review score.
"18 points, garbage!" Hironobu Sakaguchi heard the stability score of 18 points, and cursed in his heart. In his opinion, his game has a stability rating of 19 points, which means that he has beaten his opponents.
As for Final Fantasy 5, which only had a stability score of 18 points on the original FC version, Hironobu Sakaguchi directly ignored it.
"After the review and scoring of 10 editors, the final review score is as follows!" Shigeru Miyamoto said it next.
From here, you can see how harsh the new games produced by a small factory are to be treated harshly at Nintendo.
Hironobu Sakaguchi's Final Fantasy 5 only underwent a 10-day stability review, and there were only three editors who reviewed it, which is the minimum number of reviewers for a game.
Pokemon, on the other hand, went through a 20-day stability review, with 10 editors rating it.
This means that Nintendo has great trust in Final Fantasy 5, and the so-called review is basically just a formality. For Pokemon, it is indeed harsh to the extreme.
But this is also a normal thing, after all, Final Fantasy is a sequel to a product that has been tested by the market, and this time the review is just a revision of the product, and it doesn't need too many tests.
As for Pokemon, it's a completely foreign game, and Nintendo must review it carefully and leave no mercy behind.
Now, it's finally time for Nintendo to rate the game.
"After averaging the scores of the 10 editors, it was determined that the system stability score was 17 points, the gameplay score was 19 points, the art performance score was 19 points, the game control score was 16 points, and the other score was 18 points"
"The final review score is 89 points!" Shigeru Miyamoto gave the final score.
"What! 89 points! The game cartridge in Hironobu Sakaguchi's hand on the side unconsciously faded to the table, making a crisp sound.
"It's impossible, how can there be 89 points, just a new work, how can there be such a high score!" Hironobu Sakaguchi's hairs stood on end.
89 points does not sound like an absolute high score, after all, for a top student, if you don't get 99 points in an exam, you will fail!
But for Nintendo's rating system, 89 is definitely an extremely high score.
As I said before, any game that can score more than 80 points is basically searched for the ranking of the top ten games of the year, and a game with a score of 89 points can basically lock the top three positions of the year, and it is not a problem to even get the first place of the year in some years.
According to Hironobu Sakaguchi's intelligence, the highest rating in the review so far this year is Kirby of the stars, with a score of 88 points, which is 1 point lower than Pokemon, can it be said that Pokemon will become the highest-rated Nintendo game this year?
As for the works that can score 90 points, they are basically gods.
"It's just hilarious!" Hiroshi Sakaguchi scolded confidently, and at the same time a sense of foreboding welled up, would he lose?
"No, this game is just a high rating at most, and the review score is high, but there are a lot of works that sell a mess, so what about high ratings? It's not that it can't be sold! Hiroshi Sakaguchi said confidently.
Indeed, although Nintendo's rating standards are very strict, it is very difficult to figure out the tastes of players, and among the top 10 games in Nintendo's annual rating, three of them can sell very well, and the others are basically all dead.
There are also some games with low ratings, but sales skyrocket.
For example, at the beginning, duck hunting often only gave a score of 75 points, but in the end, global sales exceeded 20 million copies, which no one expected!
So Hironobu Sakaguchi thinks that this "Pokemon" is mostly just a garbage with high ratings and low sales.
And a game that can get a high score of 89 points in the review is absolutely impossible to fail the final review.
So Shigeru Miyamoto then said, "Congratulations, Mr. Tajiri, congratulations to Pokemon for passing the review and ...... next month."
"Wait!!" Before Shigeru Miyamoto's words were finished, a voice that made Hironobu Sakaguchi tremble when he heard it appeared, and then an old man who walked in with white hair, even if he was gray-haired, would definitely let him exude a sense of majesty all over his body.
"President, you're here!" Shigeru Miyamoto said expressionlessly when he saw this old man.
It seems that the chairman is going to personally intervene in the game review this time, but this is also a normal thing, everyone is used to it.
