Game Development Giant

Little Jack pursed his lips, then took a hard sip. Then, without saying a word, he turned around and left the shelf where The Legend of Zelda was placed, and walked to his favorite Junior. in front, reached out and took it down.

And his friend named Reggie, who was a bit fat, was a little shocked when he saw what little Jack did. He finally tricked his friend into buying The Legend of Zelda so that he could continue to play. This is a game that he hasn't 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 what Fire Emblem? What is this? He has never played it anyway, and he has no interest in playing it.

He doesn't believe that there is any game in the world that is more fun than The Legend of Zelda.

Reggie was just about to say something to little Jack, but little Jack still looked at him with a pout, and said with great dissatisfaction: Huh! It's all your bad idea that made me be underestimated by others. I'm going to middle school, how can I still play elementary school games? No wonder you are always called a gorilla! You are so stupid, Reggie the gorilla.

After little Jack finished speaking, he immediately paid the money and left unhappy. Jester didn't know this scene, and even if he did, it wouldn't matter. He couldn't tell from the face of a black kid in his teens that he would become the president of Nintendo of America thirty years later. Reggie Felsemi, known as Reggie the Gorilla by fans who love him and those who hate him.

However, Jester had seen Reggie’s interview in his original world. When asked what his favorite game was, Gorilla Reggie answered without hesitation: “The Legend of Zelda.

The development of a large-scale motion-sensing arcade machine is completely different from any game development that Jester has been engaged in before. He even needed to be taught a lesson by Jed himself on how to complete such a game. Jester also studied very seriously. In fact, one method can solve all problems, and the same applies to game development. When Jester became familiar with the development process of this large-scale motion-sensing arcade game, he felt that it was nothing like before. It’s different. Jester was not very good at hardware development, so he just watched the excitement from the sidelines. By the way, I would like to discuss with the software development team how to overcome some of the difficulties encountered during the discussion. Relatively speaking, such days are relatively easy.

He even had the time to attend the launch event of Nintendo's Metroid in Los Angeles, and was photographed by some media, making headlines.

The title is also very scary.

What is it called worrying about the opponent's successful counterattack in the new game, Jester personally inspecting the enemy's situation, etc. When seeing such reports, Jester can only say that American reporters in this era are as brainless and scumbag as later mainland reporters. Go and see for yourself When Nintendo releases games, he is worried about his opponents' counterattacks. In fact, he just took advantage of Christmas to check them out.

But what Ou saw still surprised Jester. He discovered that Nintendo has a lot of fans in the United States.

There are a lot more than when they released The Legend of Zelda. Moreover, game also received game cassettes proactively provided by Nintendo before. After the review editors of game magazine tried it, they all lamented the power of Nintendo. In addition to Shigeru Miyamoto, there is also a hidden person who is not at all. In their eyes, inferior design masters, the game Metroid is almost perfect among AT games.

Jester had played this game in the previous world. He remembered that Metroid on the F level was not too outstanding, it could only be said to be average. One of the better games, this movie is talked about a lot. To the point where it can be promoted to the altar, it still depends on Super Metroid on SF. Otherwise, it is impossible to let AXT's banner game like Yuexia be defeated by just relying on the original version on F.

After hearing the editorial department's response to the game, Jester was also greatly surprised, and then he took time out to go to the Game magazine in Los Angeles to try it out.

Then, Jester was also surprised by this game.

This is a game that is very different from the original Metroid in his memory. When Jester played this game on NES, he didn't say anything. After putting down the controller, he closed With eyes closed, to be honest, he really admired the most outstanding designers of this era. What he didn't expect was that these designers' understanding of games and design ideas would improve so quickly.

This Metroid should not be produced by a company that has just started producing such AT games. This game shows all the qualities that an AT game in this era should have. It is simply Just perfect.

Fortunately, I didn't make an AT game, especially since I postponed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles plan at that time.

Because Jester knew that he himself did not have the confidence to create an AT game that was better than Metroid. In the end, Game gave Metroid a score of thirty-nine points, with one point deducted. Just because this is a Japanese game, Famitsu did not hesitate to give this game a full score. This is the second time Famitsu gave this game a full score after The Legend of Zelda A game with perfect scores.

Nintendo is obviously very confident in this game. They have prepared a hundred trial machines at the official launch site for players who come to participate in their launch ceremony to try it out. Of course, everyone can try it out. The time is also limited. According to Jester's visual inspection, there are at least thousands of people present. Even if each person is given ten minutes, the day may not be enough.

Jester didn't stay here for a long time. He had played it before and was not interested in trying it out. As for participating in the lottery for Nintendo products, it was certainly impossible for him to participate. Otherwise, he, the boss of Mars Entertainment, Do you want to lose your disciple's face? Do you want to take advantage of petty advantages and participate in the lottery of your direct opponent?

There is one thing that makes Jester a little depressed. Sid Meier's Voyage game broke his promise. It was promised to be released at the same time as Nintendo's Metroid, but because of Sid Meier's lack of confidence in the work The pursuit of perfection, the time spent in the final modification stage is even longer than the development time. Even in a game where Jester can no longer find any loopholes, Sid Meier still has countless flaws. If you are dissatisfied, in addition to revising or revising.

So in the end, when Metroid was released, it could not be released at the same time.

Fortunately, the game has now been officially produced, and the final version has been flown to Japan yesterday for burning at the cassette burning factory. It will not take more than five days at the latest. The first batch of 200,000 The cassette will be shipped to the United States via air freight.

The promotion of this game named Age of Discovery has already been carried out.

Jester did not go to his directly-operated flagship stores in Los Angeles, but went to the game counters in large shopping malls.

Jester couldn't help but lament the current situation. It was just over a year ago. In these shopping malls, these game consoles were regarded as scourges. Atari's 6 could even be sold at a 100% discount. There is no such thing as a game zone at all, but now, just over a year later, not only has a game console zone reappeared in the mall, it is even overcrowded during this Christmas shopping season.

Generally speaking, people of 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 also All under the age of twenty-three or four.

Fortunately, Jester does not lack those games full of childlike innocence from Nintendo that were plagiarized more in the early days, especially the game Balotelli's Adventures in Another World to calm the scene. Although Nintendo's games The design is more in line with parents' requirements for games for children, and it is also more in line with children's g-spots, but at least with a game like this, it can compete with Nintendo in the children's market.

But in the slightly older age group, Nintendo is far ahead of many of Mars Entertainment's opponents.

You can tell this just by looking at the counter in the mall where Jester is. There are four checkout counters in total, three of which are specially used to handle those who purchased Mars Entertainment products. Of the products, only one is used to deal with game products from Nintendo and other companies.

In the corner of the game counter in this mall, Jester did find a game console from a third game company besides himself and Nintendo.

The Atari 7 game console that Atari released last Christmas.

However, Jester had been observing here for more than half an hour, and no player showed the slightest interest in this Atari game console.

Not even a glance.
