Chapter 189 The More New Games the Better, Third Update

The power of language can be very destructive sometimes.

At this time, when a game is needed to generate buzz, something that can generate enough buzz can speed up the spread of influence.

The long poem of BEEP is obviously very suitable for the propaganda method at this time.

This passage is what Zuo Zhen suggested to BEEP to publish.

This is a text he saw on the Internet in his previous life.

In addition, he himself really likes the Heavy Mech series, and has always enjoyed playing it even in the past many years, so he still has a very deep memory of this passage.

Such a propaganda discourse is still very lethal even if it spans a parallel world.

In the following days, BEEP magazines were sold out.

They were all quite curious about what kind of game could be described in such a way.

The game is no longer about heroes, princesses and dragons.

Replaced by steel cannons.

Most of the players are playing such a game for the first time, and the surprise in their hearts is inevitable.

Sega's strategy seems to be slowly starting to work.

From the second to the fifth day, the sales of the game dropped rapidly, and finally dropped to just over 20,000 units a day.

However, the release of BEEP's magazine, coupled with the support of TV Asahi's latest programs and the recommendation of video game columns in shonen manga magazines, have given Juggernaut extraordinary communication capabilities.

So one week after its release, the game’s sales experienced another wave of improvement.

Sales of game consoles exceeded 100,000 that day again.

Sales of the Heavy Duty game have also returned to the 100,000 mark.

This also brought the total sales of heavy-duty mechs to 600,000.

At this time, Sega simply went all out without any reservations and continued to reinvest the money it earned into publicity.

Obviously they have reaped the benefits of publicity and are not planning to let go.

Moreover, even Zuozhen's other series of games have begun to attract players' attention.

Now that I have bought all Sega game consoles, let’s buy other game cartridges and play them.

Works such as Squirrel Wars and Mega Man were also steadily outputting sales of about 10,000 per day in the subsequent period.

Fire Emblem is an exception. This game seems to have conquered the more mature older players at the beginning, and it will be difficult to increase the player base later.

Unless Sega's overall player base increases.

Naturally, Gao Cunxiong would not forget to inform Zuo Zhen of this good news in advance.

Such results are already quite good.

"Zuo Zhen-san, this heavy-duty mech of yours is indeed very powerful. It still has so much game content. How did you do it? How did you manage to fit it into such a small-capacity cartridge? So many things?”

Takamura Yu seemed to be a little confused about this.

He himself is a core developer at Sega.

But even he couldn't figure out how Zuo Zhen crammed so much content into a cassette that only had the maximum capacity of less than 1MB.

The overall cassette content of the heavy-duty mechs is extremely detailed.

Look at the game guide given by Zuo Zhen alone, which already exceeds thirty pages.

And Zuo Zhen said that this is not over yet, there are still many places that can be explored in this game.

Zuo Zhen said: "Actually, I didn't deliberately add anything. I just added some specific rules to the game, and in the end these rules had many solutions that even I hadn't thought of."

Some games have a fixed way of playing. Once you break away from this way of playing, the whole game may not be able to continue.

But heavy-duty mechas are different.

The heavy mechs as a whole are based on a very mature set of game rules.

As long as the gameplay is within the scope of these rules, you can pass the game however you want, and you can achieve the final goal by playing the game however you want.

Even if you don’t want to pass the level at the end and just want to simply adventure in this world forever, that’s fine. The rules in the game don’t restrict you from defeating the final artificial intelligence BOSS.

This high degree of freedom made players want to stop for a while, and it continued to pay off for a long time.

There is no need to go into details about Komura Yu’s admiration for Zuo Zhen.

This kind of game is exactly what Zuo Zhen himself described, very different from traditional role-playing games.

"Hey, Zuo Zhen-san, you are really a genius, so can I ask our genius a little more, what is your next game plan?"

"The next ones will naturally be the sequel to Mega Man and the sequel to Double Dragon. These are all things I've told you in advance."

"Yeah, but according to the agreement, we need more games. I also want to communicate with the president, so that I can help you continue to convince the president."

Takamura Yu actually wants to use this method to continue to maintain his presence.

Zuo Zhen was discovered by him. The more dazzling he is, the more he proves that his original vision was very good.

In this way, the president will look at him with admiration, and the position of president in the future will probably belong to him.

"As a follow-up, I plan to make another side-scrolling shooting adventure game similar to Contra, but as before, I plan to make it more dramatic and nonsensical."

In Zuo Zhen's mind, four very classic characters appeared at this time.

This game series was also part of Zuo Zhen's childhood. He was particularly keen on completing the first game without any injuries.

"Huh? Just like crazy football and crazy basketball? So you call this a crazy series?"

"No, the Crazy series will not be mixed with games such as gun battles. Crazy will mostly be based on sports, with at most a little bit of fighting and violence elements."

"Oh, is there anything else?"

A sequel to Mega Man, a sequel to Double Dragon.

Two games were created at once,

Plus the side-scrolling adventure shooting game Zuo Zhen mentioned, that’s three.

Takamura Xiong directly found a pen and paper to record what Zuo Zhen said to him, and then waited for the next meeting to notify his president of these contents.

"Oh, by the way, the sequel to The King of Fighters must also be taken into consideration, but in fact it cannot be completely regarded as a sequel to The King of Fighters. It should be called a high-definition version of The King of Fighters. But in addition to making the picture better, I also plan to Add more characters.”

"The King of Fighters! This is a good series and you really shouldn't miss it."

Four!

Come again, come again!

There is no such thing as too much Komura Oo now, the more you say, the better.
