Chapter 132 I Still Need More Games. Second Update.

Takamura Yu is still a little depressed.

Sega worked hard to promote it, and also used the power of publicity to make the producers as miserable as possible.

However, the impact on players is still too small.

The fundamentals of NGS are indeed solid enough.

Especially the subsequent influence of works such as Squirrel Wars.

He didn't have much to do about it.

But the good news is that sales of The King of Fighters are rising steadily.

From the beginning, there were only a few hundred people paying attention, to tens of thousands of people, and now it is roughly estimated that there are about 200,000 to 300,000 King of Fighters players.

In Japan, their total sales of Sega game consoles are estimated to be less than one million.

And this already has 200,000 followers.

This level of attention may not necessarily be the final sales volume, but it can basically determine the performance of this game.

On the NGS side, sales of one or two hundred thousand are not enough.

But for Sega, being able to sell one or two million copies in Japan is nothing short of a miracle.

Sega still doesn’t know what his future development will be like, but at least for now he is very happy with the results of King of Fighters.

He even wanted to inform Zuo Zhen of the good news in some way first.

But unfortunately, long-distance calls in China are not yet developed, and it is very difficult to talk to people in China.

But he remembered that Zuo Zhen promised him that he would come to Japan again in a while and bring them new games.

So if you can't see it, then you can't see it. Anyway, it will happen sooner or later.

In the evening, Sega's home console division had a small gathering.

They want to celebrate their achievements through King of Fighters this time.

There are at least more than 500 people in the entire department, from development to hardware production to logistics personnel. The celebration was also held on a large scale. Komura Takamura directly rented a room for more than 7 million yen. One night at the hotel and let them serve their staff.

This money basically comes from King of Fighters and part of their income from other games.

Now Sega headquarters is not particularly concerned about the fact that they hand over funds. They just hope that Sega can occupy the market as soon as possible. A few million yen used to hold a celebration party is nothing at all.

You know, this is Japan's rising period.

This little money is nothing!

There will be more money in the future!

At the celebration reception, Komura Yu spoke passionately and gave everyone a shot of chicken blood, so that they could work harder in the future.

Although we are still at a disadvantage compared to NGS, we have now seen the dawn of hope.

Now one game through King of Fighters can sell one to two hundred thousand copies.

You can sell more in the future. Everything has to be done step by step, right?

Everyone can eat delicious food for free, and at the same time, it can be seen that the company's development is very promising. Naturally, these employees are happy to cater to Takamura Xiong's words.

Next, Komura thought about it and continued to increase the promotion of The King of Fighters.

A few days later, players saw such an advertisement in the King of Fighters area of ​​various arcades.

‘Want to have the opportunity to play The King of Fighters at any time without being restricted by the arcade? Then please buy the Sega Mark series home console, which has the same excellent basic version of The King of Fighters, and the price is only 5,000 yen. You can’t buy it and you won’t be deceived! ’

This promotional slogan seemed to have played a certain role, and soon a new group of King of Fighters players appeared in major video game stores.

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands.

In one week, The King of Fighters relied on this method to sell more than 40,000 copies, which is another good news for Sega.

but.

After all, there is still a huge gap compared to NGS.

…

Today, a fighting game very similar to King of Fighters appeared on NGS.

There are always plagiarists in this world.

But most of the copied games have little success and are just gaining popularity.

But even this plagiarized game sold more than 80,000 units through NGS in one week.

This result on NGS can be regarded as a small success, which makes Komura envious.

Hey, it would be great if there were some other ways to sanction NGS.

For example, more games.

He became more and more eager to see Zuo Zhen, hoping to get more games from Zuo Zhen.

But if you calculate the time, no matter how efficient Zuo Zhen is in making games, he probably won't be able to make many games at once.

They make at most five or six games in a year, which is amazing.

"Minister, here is your package. It comes from China."

When Komura Yu was still lamenting in his office about the low sales of his game consoles and the low sales of games, his assistant secretary entered his office and placed a heavy package on his desk. superior.

"From China?"

| "Yes, the sender is Mr. Zuo Zhen, the man who developed The King of Fighters."

"Of course I know who developed The King of Fighters, but this package... forget it, let's open it first and take a look."

What could be in here?

On the signature page of the package, it says computer application software.

software?

wrong!

It should be...a game!

Komura's eyes gradually lit up.

He hurriedly summoned a knife to open the package, revealing the package made of wooden boxes inside.

When he opened the wooden box, he revealed several neatly arranged floppy disks inside.

Along with the floppy disk, there was also a letter.

Komura first picked up the floppy disk and then found the names of the contents on the floppy disk.

The first and second parts of Squirrel Wars, Mega Man, Double Dragon...

These games are all games previously published on NGS.

yes!

Zuo Zhen still has his previous games that he can hand over to him.

Then use these games to gain more attention.

How could I have forgotten this before?

Developer Zuozhen must have some wealth.

And more than that, he also saw some unreleased games.

Arkanoid HD Remastered Edition? What the hell is this HD remaster?

There are also chess, go, mahjong...

As for this Landlord...he didn't really understand it either.

It was estimated that there would be an explanation in the letter, so Takamura Xiong picked up the letter again and started to read it.

In the letter, Zuo Zhen briefly introduced these games.

They were all done by Zuo Zhen before.

There are also some games that have not been released due to NGS limitations.

It's just that the scale of these unreleased games is definitely not as good as those large-scale games. Komura can decide whether to release these games on the Sega console.

Zuo Zhen also knows that Sega's game consoles don't sell much, and forcing these board games to be put on the shelves may not necessarily have good results.

But the games that have been released on NGS are definitely of excellent quality.
