In addition to the secret competition between Mars Entertainment and Nintendo, other game manufacturers are not idle, especially those software developers under Nintendo.

For example, K-She, known as Kobe, launched the world's first fighting game "Kung Fu". Although many of the designs in this game are rough and clumsy, and the movements are very naive and low-level, the extraordinary fun brought by fighting games has triggered a craze to a certain extent. Not only is this game sold in Japan, but even in the United States, it has increased the market share of Nes to a certain extent.

Jester had always wanted Mark Seney to develop "Avengers" based on previous experience, the plan to develop an excellent fighting game was only on paper. Although they designed a fighting level in "Avengers", it is different to just making a fighting game. The difficulty between the two cannot be determined by reason.

What worries Jester the most is Capcom's strong performance during this period. Among Nintendo's six major software developers, Jester's most worried is not actually Namco, which is currently in the leading position and Hudson, the old developers such as K-She is really worried about, which is like Capcom, which is not very good at home computers, and has no outstanding performance in home computers.

Capcom seems to lack sufficient enthusiasm and motivation for home console game development, but instead is full of enthusiasm for arcades. So far, it has only been less than nine months in the year. They have released four completely different styles on arcades, and the various ones are extremely well-made and have many advantages.

Fortunately, in addition to porting "1942" to FC but not having a poor sales, these just released arcade games. Capcom does not seem to have plans to port it to FC, which has also caused dissatisfaction from Nintendo, and they have also put pressure on Capcom through various methods.

However, Capcom's results on the arcade were excellent. It was a bit slanderous to put pressure on Nintendo.

Jester was deeply impressed by the four games produced by Capcom, namely "Demon Village", "Red Dead Redemption", "Space Warrior" and "Wolf of the Battlefield". Each one has its own characteristics, fully demonstrating Capcom's understanding of game design and extraordinary abilities.

Although Jester often calls Capcom a bitch, he is extremely impressed by the company's ability in game development. Since its inception, this company has been at the forefront of the industry. Whether in the decades when Japanese manufacturers were at their peak or two thousand years after Japanese manufacturers were completely defeated by European and American manufacturers, Capcom has always been one of the cornerstones for Japanese manufacturers to stick to their final honor and dignity.

Their contributions to Japanese manufacturers are also unparalleled.

But what disgusted Jester the most was the creed that they had to look at money even if they died. There was no love that a game designer should have for the hard work of making it.

However, now, the formal creed that is tempted by money has brought Jester an unexpected surprise, which makes him unable to help but look at the creed that he had hated before, and is also very pleasing to the eyes. Those who are kind to me will do good. This sentence is true.

Because just an hour ago, he received a strange call from the front desk. The other end of the phone called him Kenzo Katsumoto. He is the president of Capcom Corporation of Japan.

In fact, there is no need for the other party to introduce himself in such a detailed manner, Jester naturally knows who Qianben Xiansan is.

The request of a Nintendo software developer who wants to meet Nintendo's biggest rival is different in Jester's eyes, both familiar and unfamiliar. It seems to be full of Capcom's style that he knows about later generations.

betray.

Then, Jester agreed to the other party's request without hesitation, and he agreed to meet.

Kenzo Kamoto has arrived in the United States. He used the excuse of going to Hokkaido for vacation and flew to Canada, and then transferred from Canada to California. The reason for this was that he wanted to hide it from Nintendo.

He is a speculator. Qian Benshengsan himself does not deny this. As a speculator, he will not put all his chips in the same basket, just like he will not really break up with Nintendo before reaching an agreement with Jester.

In the eyes of Qian Ben Xiansan, he was just pursuing interests, and there was no question of betrayal or not.

Just like the reason why he founded Capcom back then and insisted on hiring those game developers who were fired in 1983 when Atari attacked, it was not that he was really kind to the heart of bodhisattva, but that he was interested in the amazing benefits contained in the electronic game industry.

Capcom can grow bigger and have the current scale. Kenzo Motomoto really thanks Atari for the impact. If it weren't for the disaster that completely reshuffled the entire game industry from beginning to end in 1983, Kobe's Kobe, K-She, wouldn't have been able to lay off more than a quarter of its employees. As a new company, he would not have had the opportunity to recruit industry elites such as Okamoto Yoshiki, Fujiwara Toro, and Kitaka Fujimizu.

In the hotel in Los Angeles, holding a glass of red wine, drinking and thinking about the next meeting with Jester, Kenzo Kamoto has never been as anxious as he is now. Even though he had a complete fall in love with Ryohiko Takado, he had never felt this way. He knew that every step he took now was like dancing on the edge of the blade, and taking a wrong step between Nintendo and Mars Entertainment, the two major game giants spanning Japan and the United States, could make him and Capcom doom.

At this time, he couldn't help but remember his original intention of entering the game industry.

For Kenzo Tomoto, although he was not a pure Osaka, more than half of his life in his forties had spent in Osaka. He felt that he was a bit like the standard Osaka character described by Yokogami in his novels - he was old-fashioned and cunning by nature, and always liked to act in a high-profile manner that was incompatible with the vulgar people around him. Although he was greedy for money, he would occasionally do some earth-shaking acts unexpectedly.

Just like when he was doing a good job in civil engineering business and resolutely invested in the electronic game industry.

The education of Kenshin Moto was not very high, and his age could not give him much detailed knowledge of video games or something. What made him determined to enter the electronic game industry was a newspaper called Asahi Shin-shi. This newspaper reported that a young college student named Tomohiro Nishikaku had won a huge bonus of tens of millions of yen for successfully developing the Space Invaders. A Nikkei Shin-shirt published a newspaper published by the Asahi Shin-shirt due to the national popularity of "Space Invaders", which predicted that this year's net profit will increase by more than tens of millions of yen year-on-year.

What really touched him was the front page headline of Osaka Shimbun, where he was located. This report said that due to the unprecedented popularity of "Space Invaders", there was a serious shortage of 100 yen coins on the market, and Japan's Ministry of Tripitaka had to announce an emergency minting of new coins to be put on the market.

Qian Ben Qian believed that he knew nothing about this thing called a video game at that time, but these numerous reports did arouse his curiosity, so he decided to personally explore what the so-called game called "Space Invaders" was.

It took him a lot of effort to find the arcade game hall in the basement of a shop at the corner of the street.

Since Japan's electronic game industry had just started and no special industry association was established, most of the general arcade halls were harsh and mixed. The noisy and mixed scene really surprised the three major players who came to Fumoto-Heaven, who was the first to come.

What comes to me is a turbid smell of tobacco and sweat. In less than 100 square meters of space, there are many people sitting or standing. These people are roughly between 15 and 45 years old, including unemployed roninists with messy hair and ragged clothes, and white-collar workers with reserved attitudes.

Almost all of the dozen hosts in the arcade hall were a game. Players were manipulating the plane to dodge back and forth between obstacles and waiting for an opportunity to shoot down the attacking alien flying saucer. From time to time, with monotonous electronic sounds, exaggerated screams came from the crowd. Both the players and the bystander were so selfless, and coins fell into the coin holes. Qianmoto-san stood quietly in a corner and watched all this. The extremely boiling scene made him feel heart-pounding.

He seemed to have seen money like water flowing.

Capcom was not a company that Qian Bensheng San founded directly at the beginning. He didn't want to review the grudges and hatreds he had with the first game company he founded. Unlike other people who entered the game industry, Qian Bensheng San has no deep feelings for electronic games. The reason why he entered it was just because he saw the business opportunities hidden in this industry and the amazing business opportunities.

That's why, in 1983, he did the same thing as being laughed at as Kobe Xiaowa's sheltering place under the threat of Atari's impact in the entire video game industry.

Is he stupid? Of course not. Qian Benxiansan is a shrewd entrepreneur. There is no doubt that it is because of his shrewdness that he dares to take a gamble. In the past, he is, and now he is.

Thinking back on everything he had in the past, Qian Ben Shengsan drank the wine in his hand, and then he looked at the time. It was almost the same time as Jester's appointment. He came to the mirror to sort out his instrument, and then showed a confident look on his face.

He believed that he could convince Jester because he knew the biggest shortcomings behind the seemingly powerful Mars entertainment now. (To be continued)
