Chapter 240 Change a game?
"Kobe's little wave..."
Jester felt a little trouble when he thought of this company. After Capcom defected from the alliance of Nintendo's six major software developers and came to his own side, only five major developers were left.
Among these five major developers, the one that Jester coveted the most is Kobe's Korami.
History has also proved all this. Among the remaining five developers, Namco was annexed by Bandai, and Hudson was later acquired by Korami. As for Tetto, there is no need to mention it. Korami quietly grew after spending the ups and downs of the electronic game industry.
With Capcom, a game company that ranked last among the six major developers back then, it has become the overlord who can truly influence the entire industry.
And in between, the game companies that fell were really like the number of sands in the Ganges River, and there were countless more.
The phone rings and Jester answers the phone.
"Boss, Mr. Jingzheng last month refused your request for a meeting. He said he knew everything you wanted to say, but he said that they were not Capcom. There are some things Capcom can do, and they won't do them." Hearing the voice on the phone, Jester pursed his lips.
Then he said calmly: "I understand." He hung up the phone.
Last Yuejing was one of the founders of Konami, and the origin of Konami's name konami is also related to these founders. Last Yuejing, Konami, Ryonoko Nakama, and Ryutsuki Miyako joined forces to establish this company. Maybe their idea was just to get a share of the electronic game wave that just emerged from Atari, but none of them expected that this small company of that year would grow into a real towering tree.
Last month's name was written in English as kouzuki, Nakama was nakama, Miyama Ryutsu was miyasako, and after the first two subtitles of each surname were combined, Konami's official name was formed. konami.
However, although the company was founded by three people, if you have the main voice in the company, Jing Zheng was last month.
As far as Jester knows, last month Kyoto was the president of K-State until decades later. After he announced his retirement, Takuya, who succeeded him, was Takuya, who was also the second son of Kyototo last month.
This time, Jester knew that last month Jing was coming to the United States because of some things, so he asked someone to contact him. His purpose was to separate K-Mi as Capcom and let them get Nintendo from Nintendo. As long as he could get two high-performance stocks, K-She and Capcom, it wouldn't matter if the remaining four were not.
However, last month Jing Jing obviously did not give herself this opportunity.
"Don't he know that if his two games were on our platform, they might sell more game cartridges in North America and the European market? You should know that in Europe and the United States, especially North America, our market share is completely dominant. And their game style is also the most suitable for North American players."
This is what Jester doesn't understand the most, and in his opinion, even if he can't reach an agreement, it's okay to meet him. If he doesn't even meet, he obviously has made up his mind long ago and it is impossible to cooperate with him. Perhaps there is another possibility. That is, he is afraid that the conditions he has put forward will really impress him.
Shaking his head, since he couldn't understand these things, Jester stopped thinking about them. Although he could not attract Korami to his subordinates, there was no perfect thing in the world. Moreover, even Korami was on Nintendo's side, it was just a little bit of a hindrance to himself, and it would not hurt him.
But this time, will my plan to use "Super Conra" as the main game at the end of the year change?
Seifer Daberwater is a person who can stand alone discovered by Jester himself. In his memory, in the history of game development, there is no such person. Maybe he is also engaged in game development in the world he is familiar with, but he has always been talented but has never made a name for himself.
But no matter what, Jester has never heard of this character before.
After seeing Sever Daberwater's plan for the character of Western stylized Balotelli, Jester thought that maybe the other party was a good product. He just gave the other party a chance with the idea of unintentional planting. Unexpectedly, this young man did not disappoint himself. He also saw the game development again and again.
Jester can be said to have experienced the other party’s growth personally.
And what surprised Jester the most was that the first person in his company to set up a studio was also Seff Daberwater. So, for him, Jester was very special. He was not a celebrity familiar to Jester, but also had a feeling of blood circulation that could be called a sense of belonging.
Of course, the reason why Cyfer Daberwater was the first to go out to set up a studio was not because he was the best among so many designers who were capable of being producers in Mars Entertainment, but because of the right time, place, and Jester's selfishness.
Jester had told the other party before that he would release "Super Conra" during this year's Christmas Sales Golden Week and would also end this year's company's main work. However, it is hard to say how effective this matter can be.
Seifer Daberwater has been depressed recently. He was originally confident about "Super Contra" this time because it was the first game he had made himself completely self-produced. The games he had previously produced as a producer or as a main planner were basically involved in Jester. Even if he was a famous work "Contra" after his debut, the characteristics, architecture and so on of the entire game were basically explained to him by Jester.
This time, "Super Contra" is completely different. It is basically a combination of all his experiences in these platform shooting games. Jester basically did not participate in it. It was just that when he reported the project plan, Jester approved an opinion that could be developed.
Moreover, the reason why he reported his plan was just because of his gratitude to Jester. After all, he was able to go from a newcomer who knew nothing to become a well-known game developer. Jester made great contributions to it. Otherwise, the self-profit studio would not need to pass the parent company's review of what game to develop.
After the game was completed, Jester also tried it. From Jester's expression when he tried it, he could see that he was really satisfied with his new game, and the promise he made to himself later made him sure that his guess was correct.
You know, it is not easy to be able to be promoted by a company as a Christmas main.
Just as Seff Daberwater was thinking about these messy things, he received a call from his parent company, saying that the big boss Jester wanted to see him and wanted to discuss some things with him.
Promise will arrive soon. After hanging up the phone, Seff Daberwater can also guess what Jester will discuss with him. In addition to his "Super Contra", there is another game.
The "Ballotelli's Adventures of Another World" that Will Wright has been producing during this period, and the production is almost completed. The company's opinion was to recommend Will Wright's Adventures as the main Christmas promotion because the game is all ages, and the sales have been very stable since its release period. The total sales are slightly inferior to Jester's masterpiece "Flame Emblem". Moreover, the sales of "Flame Emblem" have basically increased very slightly, but the sales of "Ballotelli's Adventures" have grown very smoothly.
Many people have predicted that even Jester said at the company's senior meeting that it is basically inevitable that the game will exceed "Flame Emblem".
So, at the beginning, the chances of this game getting the last Christmas release were much more promising than its own "Super Contra".
However, because Jester's resistance to the public was the opportunity that he got this time.
It’s not that Jester is unreasonable, but that Jester thinks that long-selling games like "Ballotelli's Alien Adventure" will have little impact on him no matter when they are released. Moreover, games like this rarely suddenly burst out with a sales storm, because long-selling is stable, which is the characteristic of this type of game.
However, games like "Super Contra" are not the case at all.
Although the picture of this game is relatively heavy in style, such a game is actually not suitable for children to play, but it is extremely exciting to play and feels very touching. It can be said that the whole game is not harsh. In such an era when there is no game grading, children's desire for this game is far from comparable to a childlike game.
Moreover, the survey data also shows that a considerable number of players who have purchased "Conra" and "Sharmanro Snake" before are actually children.
In this way, Seifer Daberwater got this extremely rare and precious opportunity.
However, this opportunity was completely ruined by the "Super Warrior" released in advance. Now whether the company still wants to promote his game during Christmas has once again become controversial.
