Tokyo Gentleman Story

For people in the early 21st century, what is a web game?

In a large eastern country, for many people who are still using 56K cats to dial-up Internet, web games are basically simple word games, including so-called "killing games" or "chat room" games, because they are only 2-10KB. Dial-up networking is really powerless for rich web content.

For the people of Beacon Nation, web games mean casual games on the Internet, including Bejeweled web version, Zuma web version, or small games like Texas Hold'em. Especially the recent popularity has made similar games popular.

As for the mud bomb of this world line, the web games of the early 21st century represent a revolution.

With the launch of "Borderless", it indicates that web games can not only be made into small games, but also large-scale games.

This window paper actually breaks with a poke, but few people can think of it immediately.

Senxia occupied the right time, the right place and the right people. It was strange that he was unsuccessful.

In the first month of listing, the game "Borderless" became the most popular game in the entire circle.

There is no other reason, just because the players in this game, Krypton Gold is very crazy, and it also surprised many game manufacturers: there are so many players among the players...

Give a simple example.

The game "Boundless" is a benefit for heavy krypton players.

If the player's krypton gold can reach 100 orders, they can apply for a special service: that is to make their own characters into figures, which is a customized figure business.

After obtaining the qualification, the player only needs to pay a fee to make his character into a figure. Even if the player is not satisfied with the official coloring, they can get the GK (Garage_Kit, uncoated resin module) directly from here, and then use the semi-finished white ink to polish, assemble and color by themselves.

According to intelligence, so far, A company has received more than 100 businesses.

In other words, in this game, there are more than 100 players with more than 880,000 yen.

And there are some players who are qualified enough, but they don’t apply for it—because it’s only the early stage of the game, many people’s roles are not "great success", and many people are actually not very satisfied with their roles. of.

Of course, customizing the hands one by one is actually quite terrible, but if the local tyrants are willing, there is no way.

——People are willing to pay, what can you say?

Originally, Senxia's business was to give the money-consuming Krypton King some good gaming experience, but he himself did not expect that so many people would be willing to appear.

The appeal of "Mr. Xia Sen" and the gold-letter sign of Company A have a profound experience in the market.

He only hates himself for not being able to do 3D printing, otherwise if he can print all these characters one by one, this will be the most interesting thing!

The future Blizzard will do this kind of operation, and they will directly let players 3D print the characters. And the price is cheap, as long as 999 soft sister coins-well, compared to each figure, it is really cheap.

Moriha is referring to the other side's approach, but this world line does not have 3D printing, so he thought of a way to directly customize the figure.

However, Senxia was originally just an addition, but she didn't expect the local tyrants to be so rich, so she did it smoothly. It will be best if we can continue to do it in the future.

Of course, this is just one of the episodes.

Because everyone is more concerned about the gold-absorbing ability of the game itself.

And at this time, the Order of the Phoenix released Shoichiro, who was joining Sega, to hold a press conference.

This……

I can't understand this operation!

Sega, didn't you just cooperate with Nintendo before, these two or five have not yet finished, why are you looking for the Order of the Phoenix?

Didn’t you say you won’t love it again?

As the other parties, Yamauchi Pu and Iwata Satoshi would naturally not ignore the news.

"Shoichiro is now in a precarious position. Sega is unstable and schizophrenia is normal."

Sitting in front of the TV, two people are watching the live broadcast.

Contrary to what the outside world might guess, Nintendo is as stable as it is for this news.

Because they took the rights of Sonic in this matter for nothing, helped Nintendo to promote a wave, and also got Sega's technical cooperation, of course they were smiling.

On the contrary, the news that "Nintendo looks down on the web games on the market and prepares to make web games on its own" in recent two days has made them more passive.

Nintendo came out to refute the rumors at that time, but immediately there was the "uncle party" broke the news that Nintendo saw that "Boundless" was so popular, so it really planned to follow the trend and make one.

Nintendo of course refuted this news. This kind of news is speculative, but there is a subtle thing about it. Nintendo's top executives did indeed have instructed to study this kind of web game.

Although I did not consider relying on this method to make money, it is definitely necessary to understand, but the doorway is really complicated.

On the TV, it was Sega’s president who appeared on the scene, Shoichiro, who was about to hold the situation.

At this moment, the other party announced a piece of news, that is, to open up the channel of the mud bombing arcade hall and realize the network confrontation between the arcade halls.

"The arcade is online?"

After Iwata Satoshi heard the news, he couldn't help but make a sound.

To put it simply, when the player is playing the game in the arcade hall, a remote networking mode is provided. In this mode, the player can play against players from other places, and the game screen can even be broadcast to the arcade hall. . Using this platform, the arcade hall can even establish its own game.

The money for this action is not great, but it does attract people's attention. Because the mud bomb is also a big arcade country.

And after this news, "Infinity no Boundary Line" also announced that it would cooperate with the world to develop an arcade version.

Not only that, after "Boundless" also announced a new round of animation plans, which will be linked with "Magic Girl Lyrical Nanoha" to produce an OVA.

"It's so fast. It took such a short time to go online and the cooperation started. Tianhai Senxia's courage is really strong."

Satoshi Iwata exclaimed.

Morinya's approach, let alone Nintendo, can't be learned by any other game company.

As soon as the game was launched, various follow-up activities started immediately.

The arcade game is obviously to stabilize Sega. As for the linked OVA, it should be a test of the water, and maybe it will be out of TV directly.

"I always feel that things are not so simple." However, Yamauchi Pu frowned at this time.

He always felt a little bit off.

Is the purpose of the other party really just that simple?

No, it doesn't seem like.

Web games are nothing special.

Yes.

Yamauchi Pu believes that web games are just a "sketch", a type that is difficult to be elegant.

No matter how popular the game in front of you is, it cannot surpass Nintendo in terms of word of mouth or gameplay.

Some sunspots used to say, "The freedom of this game is completely reflected in the text". In fact...this is really quite right.

Because in this game, in order to allow players to play the game smoothly, a lot of content is embodied by text or static images plus special effects.

Even in order to take into account the pressure of the player's operation, they did not even join 2DLIVE-this is to prevent the player's browser from getting stuck due to insufficient browser performance.

Although it is a web game, the official is now considering whether to launch a more advanced client version to achieve cross-platform works, and the client version can also have a better display effect.

But these... are not the key!

There must be some key content hidden behind this.

what is it then?

"Well……"

At this moment, Senxia also appeared in the picture.

When seeing Morinka, Yamauchi suddenly thought of something.

Although there are several companies, whether it is the Phoenix Order, Musashino, or A, they all belong to Morinatsu.

In this case, if it is replaced by a listed company, even if several companies belong to one person, the situation will be more troublesome, but the problem is that these companies are not listed companies and belong to Mori Summer.

This means that the other party has the absolute right to speak among these companies, and the company does not need to be responsible for profits.

In other words, no matter how Morinia wants to play... there is no problem!

I am afraid that soon, people will directly form a group.

"We want to treat the several companies of the Tiankai family as a whole." Yamauchi said, "When analyzing strategy, you should look at it like this. Do you understand the information on Musashino?"

"Hi." Satoshi Iwata replied immediately, "Recently, there has been a round of expansion, recruiting a lot of veterans in the industry, and also has a deep cooperative relationship with a major eastern country.

Actually, Satoshi Iwata didn't really understand this matter.

But Musashino had found Nintendo before, and wanted to ask if he could adapt a special Pokemon comic story.

Unlike the animated version, the special comic story is actually closer to the world view of the game. To some extent, the special story is even more realistic.

Nintendo rejected the other party's proposal at the time, because the Pokemon animation was originally intended for younger audiences. At this time, a relatively "dark and crippled" manga adaptation version suddenly appeared, which would definitely disturb the audience.

Perhaps other companies and clubs would definitely agree to the proposal, but Nintendo rejected the other party’s proposal based on its own strategic arrangements. However, for this reason, Satoshi Iwata also learned a little about Musashino’s situation, only to realize that he is now one of the best in the industry-the current animation company is becoming an "animation factory", Musashino Animation , Is one of the few clubs that have the confidence to pay for animation.

"The web game is just a test of the water. I think this game is so popular that they didn't expect it. But after that, I am afraid it will be the highlight." Yamauchi pondered, "The Internet can really make money..."

Nintendo also engaged in the Internet back then, but Yamauchi was frightened. That was a loss of billions or tens of billions of yen!

However, when the Internet was in Senxia's hands, it turned out to be a sweet pastry for making money.

Can't figure it out, don't understand.

Is it because I don’t understand, or the world is changing too fast?

It is a pity that Nintendo’s grand strategy cannot be changed, and some things may not be so easy to do.

"But most of the other game manufacturers that make online games lose money..." Iwata said more subtle things.

There were a lot of copycat "Hero Trails" games in the lighthouse country before, such as hero XX, or XX track, but there is no doubt that all of these games are on the street, and many game manufacturers have lost their money. Return.

On the contrary, it is not good for Karp to spin.

Oh, some of Capcom did not engage in the Internet. They launched some paid DLCs on games such as "Resident Evil" on DC-P. These DLCs allow players to change various dresses for their characters, really making them earn A lot.

"Because they missed the good time."

The reason is very simple. The Matthew effect of games like "Hero Trail" is very obvious. The market is small now and only one can survive.

If it is replaced by RPG or the like, it is actually very good-do you live well without watching "Genesis"?

Nintendo is actually more concerned about NGC's sales, and its concern for the Order of the Phoenix and Morinia is actually worried about the impact of the DC-P strategy on NGC.

But in fact, Nintendo does not regard the other party as an opponent.

It's not that I look down on them, but the positioning between the two parties is different.

The prevailing view in the current mud bombing society is "Look for PS2 if you want to play a masterpiece, or find DCP if you want to play online games or games that can be connected to the Internet." In this way, Nintendo's target is actually PS2.

Especially after Sony took the initiative to compare with the DC-P, it was invisibly lifted the other side-it was like comparing the fruit initiative with the rice company’s mobile phone. The reputation and status of the latter is invisible. Promoted.

The strategic goals of Nintendo and the Order of the Phoenix are different, but Nintendo and the Order of the Phoenix have many similarities. The biggest point is that the most powerful of both parties is the first party, and the third party itself can only be used as a supplement. There are a lot of good third parties on DC-P, but some of these third parties are simply so-called independent games. They don't even have physical versions of games. They only release them online, and the power of third parties is completely incomparable with the first party.

So the reason why Nintendo keeps paying attention to the Order of the Phoenix ~www.readwn.com~ is to know the other party's strategy. If the other party becomes its opponent, how Nintendo should counter it.

"They should have big moves." Taking into account the situation of Musashino, Yamauchi came to the conclusion, "It should be a big project or something, and the goal should be an online game... Well, a deeper kind, so They should not have the energy to take care of us anymore."

Without a competitor, Sony is the only way forward.

Yamauchi felt that the NGC wave had stabilized.

...

Many arcade games in the Japanese factory are very interesting, such as War of the Three Kingdoms, a good game.

In addition, I recommend a wave of the mystery of the wolf village, the galgameized story of the werewolf killing, the male protagonist with such a high emotional intelligence, recently too rare 233~

Finally, with the current technology, if you have the technology, you can really 3D print the figure you want...

Two-in-one meow meow~
