Chapter 458 "Street Fighter 1" is released! Shocked the global gaming community

In November in the north, the weather is already very cold, and it even starts to snow in many places.

The weather in Xiangjiang in November is still very warm, with daytime temperatures even reaching around 25 degrees Celsius.

Early in the morning, Yang Ming swam a few laps in the swimming pool. After having breakfast with his parents, he was now going to the Empire State Building by car.

Yang Ming came to the chairman's office in the Empire State Building.

Over there in the conference room, there are now many reporters.

Today is the highlight of this year’s flagship game, Empire Games, which will be released in the second half of the year.

"Street Fighter 1"!

Although some news has spread some time ago, many players from all over the world still like it very much.

"Boss, the reporters are here."

Tomohiro Nisikado came in and said.

"You go and host this new product launch press conference."

Yang Ming will really never appear again at this kind of new game product launch conference.

Tomohiro Nisikado came to the conference room.

At this time, in addition to him, there were Imperial Games Marketing Director Nakanishi Akio, Product Director Matsushita Sanito, and Sales Director Fujiwara Akiyoshi.

At first glance, they are all Japanese.

However, these people have lived in Xiangjiang for a long time, and their dress has begun to look a little different from the Japanese people in Japan.

In the first half of the year, in addition to launching games such as "Xiangjiang Cube", "Snake" and "Little Bee", Empire Games also mainly recommended the first generation of handheld consoles.

Because the price of Empire Games' first-generation handheld console was not high.

The global unified sales price is US$30.

Sales exploded around the world.

After one year, sales exceeded 1 million units, with tens of millions of units sold in the country alone. This was the number sold domestically by Aika Electronics Company, a joint venture between brothers Rong Zhijian and Yang Ming.

Sales in Japan, China, and Europe are all very high.

In addition, with the second generation of handheld consoles coming out next year, Empire Games will continue to rise in handheld consoles.

The second half of the year is the most important flagship game of the year.

It's Street Fighter.

It’s also Street Fighter 1.

Historically, "Street Fighter 1" is an arcade game launched by Toyo CAPCOM in 1987 and can be called the ancestor of fighting games.

In the game, players control Long or Ken (Long as the main commander and Ken as the deputy) to challenge fighting masters from Japan, Country M, Country Z, Country Y, and Siam.

The two protagonists of the game, Long and Ken, are both top masters of karate. They participated in the World Martial Arts Competition together. Through their battles with nine masters from all over the world, Li and Ji from Japan, Joe and Mike from Country M, and Mike from Country Z. After Li, Yuan, Birdy and Eagle from Country Y, and Aton from Siam competed with these masters, BOOS Muay Thai champion Sagat finally appeared.

Long relied on the strongest secret of karate - Shenglongquan to knock down the Muay Thai champion Sagat, who had the title of fighting emperor, and left a long scar on his chest. After winning, Long set out to challenge the stronger one. path of.

From the beginning of the year, when Tomohiro Nisikado saw this game, he knew that once it was launched, it would become popular all over the world and was especially suitable for promotion as an arcade machine.

Although it is also very good as a handheld game now.

The development of this game is much more difficult than that of "Xiangjiang Cube". After all, it involves various fighting actions.

To this end, Tomohiro Nisikado and the game developers specially studied the video tapes of global fighting competitions, explored the fighting routines, and then applied them to the Street Fighter game.

Spend more time in this aspect.

However, Imperial Games has sufficient funds and R&D funds, and there are more and more game research talents. With the addition of Akio Nakanishi and Sanato Matsushita, Tomohiro Nisikado's work has become easier.

This game will be released in the second half of the year.

Outside reporters had already received the news in advance and came to the Imperial Group conference room to attend the meeting.

Here in the conference room.

There are also five large arcade machines and twenty handheld machines.

However, although the press conference has not yet started, they have already seen the relevant posters of "Street Fighter 1".

There are images and introductions of each of the main characters on the poster.

Among them, include Lie, Ji, Qiao, Mike, Li, Yuan and so on.

These game poster characters all have certain prototypes.

For example, Lee comes from the character of Bruce Lee.

There are also boxing techniques from Siam, Muay Thai and so on.

The posters appeared in the conference room, even before the press conference began, and already piqued the interest of those reporters.

When Tomohiro Nisikado came to the conference room.

"Dear reporter friends, in the second half of the year, the most important game of Empire Games, that is, "Street Fighter 1" will be officially launched. Before that, I will solemnly introduce to you how to play this game."

This game can be played by one person, that is, a human and a machine.

It can also be played by two people, that is, PK between people.

You can choose any of the characters in it, but you also need to constantly challenge and upgrade.

Tomohiro Nisikado introduces this game.

Show the gameplay of this game in person in front of reporters.

Those female reporters may not have much, but the male reporters were almost all stimulated. Isn't this the game they want most?

In reality, it is illegal for ordinary people to fight with ordinary people, and they cannot fight easily. If they want to fight in the ring, they can only use black boxing if they are not professional players, which is not what they want.

However, it is different now. You can play it through the moves in the game.

Tomohiro Nisikado showed it to everyone in person, which was very smooth and has already attracted the attention of many reporters.

Today, there are five arcade machines on it.

You can invite ten reporters to PK.

Ten male reporters were drawn, and they all sat in front of the arcade machines and began to play according to the instructions taught by Nisikado Yuhiro.

In terms of games, it actually requires talent.

If you play well, of course you can keep winning, but if you play poorly, you will be KO'd in a few or two strokes.

. . .

I have to say that this game really shocked the reporters present.

In addition to these arcade machines, there are also handheld consoles.

This handheld console is also the first-generation handheld console from Empire Games, but now the game software has been replaced by "Street Fighter 1".

When those male and female reporters were selected to play there.

Half an hour later, Tomohiro Nisikado said: "Everyone has tried it, and I want to tell everyone that this game is really good, and it also represents the sincerity of our Empire Games Company to players around the world."

"Director Tomohiro Nisikado, don't you know the price of this game?"

These are what journalists and global consumers are most interested in.

"For this game, after we comprehensively considered the hardware, software, etc., we determined that the price of this game console in the arcade is still US$6500 per unit. As for the handheld console, it is US$50 per unit."

Why has the price of handheld consoles increased?

It is because the research and development funds for this game are higher.

When the reporters around heard this price, they all went crazy.

They still can't afford an arcade machine that costs $6500.

However, they can still afford a $50 "Street Fighter 1" handheld console.
