Chapter 218 Christmas Season
Little Jack pouted his lips, then spat hard, and then he turned his head without saying a word and left the shelf where "The Legend of Zelda" was placed, walked to the front of his favorite "Heavy Fighter", and reached out and took it down.
However, his friend named Reggie, who was a little fat, was a little shocked when he saw what Jack did. He finally tricked his friend into buying "The Legend of Zelda" so that he could continue to play this game that he had not finished playing with his cousin. In Reggie's heart, Nintendo is the best game company, and "The Legend of Zelda" is the best game! As for "The Emblem of Fire"? What is this? He has never played it anyway, and he is not interested in playing it.
He doesn't believe that there are any games in this world that are more fun than "The Legend of Zelda".
Reggie was about to say something to little Jack, but little Jack still pouted and looked at him, saying with great dissatisfaction: "Hmph! It's all your bad idea, which made me underestimate me. I'm going to middle school, how can I still play elementary school games? No wonder you are always called gorillas! You're so stupid, gorilla Reggie."
After Jack finished speaking, he immediately paid the money and left in a depressed mood.
Reggie was left alone, and Reggie's face was distorted by his best friend. He was a black man, so although his face couldn't be red at this time, he could also see from his hideous expression that he was in a very bad mood. He turned his head and looked at the Mars Entertainment Games, which were placed at the highest point on the shelf, and then his eyes showed a hostile look. After a long time, he left angrily.
Jester didn't know about this scene. Even if he knew it, it didn't matter. He couldn't see from the face of a black child who was only in his teens that this person would become the president of Nintendo in the United States in thirty years. Fans who love him and hate him all call him Reggie Philsemie the gorilla Reggie.
However, Jester had seen Reggie's interview in his original world. When asked what his favorite game was, the gorilla Reggie replied without hesitation: "The Legend of Zelda."
The development of large somatosensory arcades is completely different from any game development that Jester has worked in before. He even needs to be taught by Jed himself to teach how such a game is completed. Jest is also very serious about learning. In fact, one method is the same as using it in game development. When Ding Jest was familiar with the development process of this large somatosensory arcade game, he felt that it was no different from before.
However, the progress cannot be fast. I thought that the team that took photos of the whole United States to take on the spot has not come back yet, so now it is mainly engaged in hardware development.
Jester is not very good at hardware development, so he just watches the fun. By the way, he discusses with the software development team how to overcome some of the difficulties encountered during discussions. Relatively speaking, such days are relatively easy.
Even at Nintendo's Metroid's debut event in Los Angeles, he had the leisure to watch it, and was photographed by a certain media and made the headlines in the news.
The title is also very terrifying.
What is the reason why he is worried about his opponent's new game counterattack successful? Jester personally explores the enemy's situation. Seeing such reports, Jester can only say that American journalists in this era are as brainless as sb as later mainland reporters. When he goes to see Nintendo's game release, he becomes worried about his opponent's counterattack. In fact, he just takes advantage of Christmas to check it out.
However, the scenes seen in the district still surprised Jester. He found that Nintendo had really many fans in the United States.
There are much more than when they released "The Legend of Zelda". Moreover, before "Game" also received the game cartridges given by Nintendo. After trying it out by the review editor of "Game" magazine, they all lamented that Nintendo is powerful. In addition to Shigeru Miyamoto, there is also a design master who is not inferior. In their eyes, the game "Metropolis" can almost be called perfect in the act game.
Jester played this game in the previous world. He remembered that "Metropolis" on FC was not too outstanding, it can only be said to be a relatively superior game. This movie was talked about by people so much that it was praised on the altar because it was still based on "Super Metroid" on SFC. Otherwise, it would be impossible to make a flag-type game like Moonlight like AXT.
After hearing the editorial department's reply to this game, Jester was also very surprised, so he took the time to try it out at the "Game" magazine in Los Angeles.
Then, Jester was also surprised by the game.
This is a game that is very different from the original version of Metroid in his memory. When Jester played this game on Nes, he said nothing. After putting down the handle, he closed his eyes and to be honest, he really admired the best designers of this era. What he didn't expect was that these designers' understanding of games and design ideas would actually improve so quickly.
This "Metropolis" should not be a work that can be produced by a company that has just begun to make such an act game. This game shows all the qualities that an act game in this era can show, and is simply perfect.
Fortunately, I didn't make an act game, especially when I delayed the plan for the Tintographs of the Ninja Turtles.
Because Jester knew that he was not sure of making an Act game that was better than Metroid. In the end, "Game" scored "Metropolis" with thirty-nine points, and the deduction was only because it was a Japanese game. "Famitong" did not hesitate to give this game a full score. This is the second time that "Famitong" gave a full score to a full score after "The Legend of Zelda".
Nintendo is obviously very confident in this game. They prepared a total of 100 trial machines at the official launch site for players to participate in their starting ceremony. Of course, each person has a limited time to play. According to Jester's vision, at least thousands of people present, even if each person has ten minutes, it may not be enough for this day.
Jester hasn't been here for a long time. He has played it before and is not interested in trying it out. As for participating in the Nintendo product lottery, of course it is impossible for him to participate in the lottery. Otherwise, he, the head of Mars Entertainment, would he still want the shame of his direct opponents? Will he be greedy for small gains and participate in the lottery of his opponents?
There was something that made Jester a little depressed. Sid Mel's big sailing game broke its promise and agreed to be released at the same time as Nintendo's Metroid. However, because Sid Mel's pursuit of perfection in the work, it took longer than the development time in the final modification stage, and even in Jester's eyes, Sid Mel still had countless unsatisfactory aspects, and in addition to modification, it was also modified.
So in the end, when Metroid was released, it was no longer available for the same period.
Fortunately, the game has been officially completed, and the final version has been air-carried to Japan's cassette burning factory yesterday for cassette burning. At the latest, the first batch of 200,000 cassettes will arrive in the United States by air.
And the promotion of this game named "Age of Discovery" has been underway for a long time.
Instead of going to his own flagship stores in Los Angeles, Jester went to a large shopping mall and a game counter.
Jester couldn't help but sigh in the current situation. It was only a year ago. In these malls, these game consoles were regarded as a disaster. Atari's 2600 could even be sold at a discount. There was no so-called game zone at all. However, just over a year later, not only did the game console zone reappear in the mall, but even this Christmas shopping season, the sea was crowded.
In general, people in this era still regard game consoles as children's toys, and their understanding of game consoles is only for children to play with. However, there are also many fans of Mars Entertainment, who are older, but they are all under the age of 23 or 24.
Fortunately, Jester is not short of Nintendo's innocent games that have been copied by many people early, especially the game "Ballotelli's Adventures in Another World" to calm down. Although Nintendo's game is designed to meet the requirements of parents for the games they play for children and the g-point of children, at least with such a game, you can also compete with Nintendo in the children's market.
But at a slightly older age group, Nintendo is far away from many rivals to Mars Entertainment.
You can only see from the counter of the shopping mall where Jester is in. There are four payment desks in this counter, three of which are specifically used to deal with those who have purchased Mars Entertainment products, and only one is used to deal with Nintendo and other companies' gaming products.
Just in the corner of the game counter in this mall, Jester did find the console of his own and the third game company outside of Nintendo.
The Atari 7200 gaming console that Atari was released last Christmas.
However, Jester observed here for about half an hour, but no player had any interest in this Atari game console.
Chapter completed!
