Chapter 459 Famicom and Super Mario!

Yang Ming sat busy in front of his computer.

There was a knock on the door.

Lin Xiuzhi went to open the door and saw it was Tomohiro Nisikado who had finished the press conference for the launch of game products.

After Tomohiro Nisikado came in.

"Boss, the "Street Fighter 1" press conference has just ended. Judging from the reactions of those reporters, it was very successful."

Not to mention the reporters, developers like them all like this game very much. Sometimes when they are tired from work, they all want to play it to relax and unwind.

When it was in closed beta, many developers liked to play it to find out the problems.

"Tomohiro Nisikado, I expected the popularity of this game. However, this is not enough. For this game, you can cooperate with 2D to jointly develop "Street Fighter 1" comics and even related derivatives .”

Games become comics?

This is really possible.

Historically, this game has been turned into a manga, which is very popular among Japanese players and manga lovers. The sales volume is also very good, and there are even related animations and even movies.

In Yang Ming's view, comics can be adapted into games, and games can also be adapted into animations, or even a series of derivatives.

Is this why he wants to vigorously develop his entertainment empire?

Because if done well, it is really like a money printing machine, very profitable.

Tomohiro Nisikado hurriedly wrote it down.

"In addition, our secret killer weapon must also be developed."

The secret killer weapon Yang Ming mentioned was the Famicom.

Historically, the Famicom, also known as the FC game console, is an 8-bit third-generation home game console produced, distributed and sold by Nintendo. The official name of the Japanese version is Home Computer.

Historically, an Atari 2600 priced at US$199 brought a profit of US$2 billion to Time Warner, Atari's parent company, in 1980 alone. This can be said to be a huge profit.

However, there was a brief slump in the gaming industry in 1 country due to, among other things, the release of cheap home computers.

The price of this cheap home computer is about the same as the Atari 2600. Moreover, this kind of home computer can directly transplant games into it, which has disrupted the electronic game market in M ​​country.

The second thing is that a large number of inferior games appear in the game market. Consumers find that they have been deceived and will not buy anymore. Agents and distributors find that the products cannot be sold, which leads to the bankruptcy of a large number of such companies.

This situation led to the home computer and arcade market at that time being on the verge of bankruptcy in Europe and the United States, and almost no one wanted to buy this kind of game.

Until 1983, Japan's Nintendo secretly developed and released the third generation of home game consoles, which was the emergence of Nintendo, which gradually replaced and monopolized the global home game market.

It was exactly like that that in the 1980s, Japanese game consoles were almost everywhere in the world.

In addition to game companies such as Nintendo, Sony, Namco, etc.

Now, Imperial Group is already quietly developing a third-generation home game console.

That is, the red and white machine.

It is not difficult to develop Famicom, but if you have not been exposed to it, you will definitely not know.

After all, Yang Ming came from the future. He had played many games in his previous life. Among them, the one he had the most contact with was Bully, and Bully was an imitation of the Famicom.

In this case, it really didn't mean anything to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming knew that only by developing the Famicom, a home game console, could he gradually monopolize the hardware status and market of game consoles.

Not even a handheld machine.

Not many people within Empire Games know about the development of this red and white console.

At that time, Tomohiro Nisikado knew about the existence of this red and white machine. He was also very surprised. He even couldn't believe how the boss came up with it. He could only say that the boss Sir Yang existed in his heart like a god.

"The Famicom will be launched in the second half of next year."

In other words, next year, 1980, it will be launched in the second half of the year, which is a full three years earlier than Nintendo in history.

As for whether Nintendo is doing research and development, Yang Ming doesn't know and doesn't care. As long as he remains a few years ahead of them in terms of game hardware and software and has a technological monopoly, he can maintain this advantage.

In addition, there is one of the most popular games in the world in Yang Ming's previous life.

"Super Mario"!

In the childhood memories of the 1980s and 1990s, is there a little man who jumped around and held a mushroom on his head that has been forgotten?

If you recall it, you will definitely feel that it is childish and boring now, the graphics are not beautiful, and the game is not exciting.

But please remember, this is the real game, it gives you unlimited joy!

Many people have only played Famicom or a few broken Flash games made by online players, and they still think that the "Mario" series that Nintendo is proud of is just like this. Do you really think that Super Mario is the 1985 Mushroom? ?

Yang Ming was deeply impressed by this game.

It can even be said that everyone who has played family game consoles, including Little Overlord, has played this game.

It can be said that this is definitely the most popular game in the world.

In terms of genuine sales, Nintendo has sold more than 540 million units of this game worldwide.

If piracy is included, it is impossible to count.

for this game.

Yang Ming was used to go on the market together with the red and white machines.

While Empire Games was secretly developing the Famicom, it was also developing Super Mario.

Tomohiro Nishikado noted it down.

Now with the help of Akio Nakanishi and Sanito Matsushita, he is much more relaxed. Now not only are more talents from the Japanese gaming industry joining, but also local gaming talents from Hong Kong and Europe and the United States.

Today's Empire Games Company needs talents and capital.

The most important thing is that Yang Ming is the real helmsman behind the scenes. Tomohiro Nisikado knows that the Empire game will get better and better.

Tomohiro Nisikado left here and went back to work first.

Yang Ming took a sip of coffee and continued busy with his own affairs.

. . .

That night.

Huo Jianning and Albert worked overtime until after nine o'clock, and they went back to rest after get off work.

During this period of time, they have been responsible for the affairs of London Gold. According to the information provided by their boss, they have made huge profits in London Gold. They don't even know how much money they have made for the company.

However, they know that London gold is really risky.

When Huo Jianning drove back home.

He thought his family had taken a break, but found that his parents and others were still watching TV.

"You haven't rested yet?" Huo Jianning asked.

"Uncle, I'm waiting for you to come back." Awen came over and said.

"What are you waiting for me to do?"

"Uncle, today Empire Games released another game called "Street Fighter 1". I like it very much." Awen said with some embarrassment.

Empire Games releases another new game?

He knew that many reporters came to the Imperial Group conference room for a meeting. He didn't pay attention to the specific meeting, mainly because they were dealing with too many London Gold affairs.

Huo Jianning picked up the newspaper and read it. It turned out to be a fighting game, which he also liked.

As for the $6,500 price tag for an arcade machine, he still thinks it's a bit luxurious for the time being. However, it is still possible to buy a Street Fighter 1 handheld console for $50.
