Zhao Ye has played all six fighting games, and they are not much different from those works in his previous life.

Maybe in terms of graphics, there is a slight gap.

No way, after all, it's an 8-bit game console, the picture color is limited, and these fighting games in the previous life were first applied to the 16-bit arcade platform. However, it can still be played, in the previous life, Chinese copycat manufacturers moved some arcade game masterpieces, such as "The King of Fighters 1997" and "Street Fighter 2" to FC, which looks good, and the shock to players is no less than the original.

The Qiqi 1 game console itself is stronger than FC, and the game cartridge has an MMC chip that specifically enhances the game screen, which is much stronger than those domestic knockoffs.

Of course, fighting games seem more enjoyable to play on an arcade than on a controller.

Zhao Ye also discovered this problem when he tried the game.

But it doesn't matter, it's good that the Borderless Group develops arcade machines.

The arcade market is still very large at the moment.

In the 90s, video game rooms sprung up everywhere in China. It's just that with the rise of Internet cafes, video game rooms are gradually aging.

In this way, arcade machines will be on the market for at least 14 years.

……

Staying until the eighth day of September in autumn refers to the day before the Chung Yeung Festival on September 9 of the lunar calendar, and September 8 is for rhyme.

In 1986, the 9th lunar month was 8th, that is, October 11th in the Gregorian calendar.

More than a month was left for the production of game cartridges.

From this day on, the Shanghai Wujiang Factory began to work overtime to produce these six games.

At this time, Zhao Ye took the time to go to the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio and chatted about the adaptation of six fighting games into comics and cartoons.

Zhao Ye said to Xu Xiangming, the director of the studio, in a firm tone: "These six games will be popular, and if they are adapted into comics and cartoons, they will definitely be very popular." ”

"Then I'll arrange for someone to start with comic production, and then adapt the cartoon based on the comics!" Xu Xiangming thought for a moment and replied.

"Well, that's the best arrangement. Of these six games, I am most optimistic about Street Fighter and The King of Fighters, so when adapting the two games, let the writers put a little more effort into making the story a little better, the logic is a little smoother, and if possible, we will also shoot live-action movies in the future! By the way, you can take a look at DC Comics and Marvel Comics (Marvel) in the United States, and refer to them. These two comics portray many superhero characters, such as Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Fantastic Four, X-Men, etc., A few years ago, "Superman" was also put on the big screen by Warner Pictures! I hope that one day, these game characters of ours can also be made into movies! ”

When Xu Xiangming heard this, he immediately understood the important value of these game adaptations, and he nodded solemnly to Zhao Ye: "Boss, don't worry, I will let the screenwriters work hard to write a good story and guarantee that you will be satisfied!" ”

"Hmm. By the way, how are the animations of Dragon Quest, The Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy going? ”

"The first season of these three cartoons has all been produced, and there are only 16 episodes."

"Well, send it to Nippon TV now, let them broadcast it quickly, this month, and strive to burst the potential of Dragon Quest, The Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy. Next month, the fighting game will be released, and I am afraid that it will affect the sales of other games......"

"Okay, boss, I'll do as you tell me later!"

……

On the Japanese side.

The manga "Dragon Quest", "The Legend of Zelda", and "Final Fantasy" have become very popular in Japan since their release.

The sales of these three games skyrocketed for a while, and at the same time, it also drove the sales of "Poor Home Game Console".

So far, Borderless has sold 5.2 million units of the "Qiqi Home Game Console", but the weekly sales have dropped to about 10,000 units.

The main reason for such a "sluggish" sales is that there are too few games on the "Poor Home Game Console" platform.

Third-party game developers have extended olive branches to Wujiang Group at this time.

At this time, Wujiang Group embraces third-party game developers with an open attitude, and as long as they develop games on the "Qiqi Home Game Console" platform, they must abide by these three regulations:

1. The platform charges 80% of the revenue of the game cartridge, including the production cost of the game cartridge.

2. The game cartridge is uniformly produced, promoted and sold by Wujiang Group.

3. Exclusive possession, not allowed to publish games on other game platforms.

This may not seem like a strict requirement.

Third-party game developers only need to develop the game and leave nothing after that, which greatly reduces the pressure on game developers.

Unlike Nintendo, the production fee of the game cartridge has to be paid by the game developer himself, and if the game cartridge cannot be sold, then the game developer will lose money.

Nintendo is doing this completely to transfer the risk to the game developer, no matter whether your game cartridge is sold or not, Nintendo will never lose anyway, but can still earn your game cartridge production fee.

The Borderless Group bears the risks and pressures by itself, which I don't know how many times more than Nintendo's conscience.

If Nintendo hadn't threatened those game developers to take their games off the shelves as long as they joined the "Poor Home Game Console" platform, I am afraid that there are hundreds of game companies that have joined the "Poor Home Game Console" platform by now.

Some major game manufacturers will never dare to break off their cooperation with Nintendo now, and their interests are too deeply involved. Moreover, FC has tens of millions of users, and the "Poor Home Game Console" is only available in Japan. The volume can't be compared.

……

Nintendo.

"President, the popularity of "Qiqi Home Game Console" has become lower and lower, although there are currently some game developers who have joined the platform, but there are few games and the quality is average, so it is difficult to drive the sales of game consoles." The assistant said with a smile.

Yamauchi's mood did not improve because of this, and he said in a deep voice: "Is it? But as far as I know, the Shanghai Wujiang factory is still working overtime to produce the "Qiqi Home Game Console", what do you say the Wujiang Group is doing? ”

The assistant was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Wujiang Group is stocking up and preparing to enter the American home game console market!! ”

"Yes, it must be!" Yamauchi's eyes flashed with a hint of melancholy.

Once the "Poor Home Game Console" opens up the market in the United States, many powerful third-party game developers may jump ship!

At that point, Nintendo is in danger!

……

Yamauchi was right, Wujiang Group is stocking up and entering the U.S. market.

However, before that, it is necessary to dig deep into the potential of the Japanese game market and beat Nintendo in Japan.

Starting from September 11, the "Dragon Quest", "The Legend of Zelda", and "Final Fantasy" cartoons have been broadcast on major Japanese TV stations one after another.

These three cartoons have a large number of fans, and as soon as the cartoons came out, they immediately caused a sensation, but Nintendo couldn't sleep all night!

At this moment, fans of games and manga from all over Japan are excited and rushing to tell each other.

On campus, students are discussing the plot in the cartoon.

As the saying goes, "love the house and the black".

If you like cartoons, you'll be interested in its games.

With the popularity of the anime, the sales of these three games skyrocketed again.

In just one week, the sales of "Qiqi Home Game Console" soared from the previous 10,000 units to 250,000 units, and the growth effect was obvious.

And these three game cartridges are selling very well, and Final Fantasy, the least-selling "Final Fantasy", also sold 550,000 copies this week.

Dragon Quest is played on Mondays and Tuesdays, The Legend of Zelda on Wednesdays and Thursdays, Final Fantasy on Fridays and Saturdays, and Pokemon on Sundays.

Each cartoon airs two episodes a day, which is four episodes a week.

16 episodes, just enough to play for a month.

This month will be a very uncomfortable month for Nintendo.

However, the worse is yet to come.

After the broadcast of these cartoons, it is the launch of the fighting series of games of the Borderless Group, so that Nintendo can experience what it means to be unsettled and rise again......
