half year later.
"Legend of Moon Shadow" has successfully entered the mainland of Xiaoli. This game originally has many Xiaoli elements, and the gameplay is novel, and the painting style is also very suitable for Asian aesthetics.
Therefore, "Legend of Moon Shadow" has been supported by a large number of Japanese players since its launch.
In order to cooperate with the promotion of the game, Li Jie also acquired an instant noodle factory and launched the "Legend of Moon Shadow" series of cards.
Collect cards and blind boxes will never go out of style.
Whether in the 1980s or 1990s, or in later generations, card collections and blind boxes are still very popular. Perhaps, the things collected are different.
But the core of the matter has not changed.
Xiaodangjia instant noodles, once launched, immediately swept the primary and secondary school student market.
With Xiaodangjia’s unique taste, even without the gimmick of collecting cards, this crispy noodle can break into the Xiaozhi market.
With the popularity of Little Master, the various characters and background stories in "Legend of Moon Shadow" are slowly revealed.
Five great ninja villages, cool ninjutsu.
The chaotic wars during the Ninja clan period, including the First World War, the Second World War, and the Third War, all kinds of information were half-disclosed, which aroused the curiosity of countless students.
What kind of story is "Legend of Moon Shadow"?
Although the information recorded on the card is just the tip of the iceberg, it can also be seen from it that this is a magnificent epic.
Xiaodangjia's simple noodle business was a great success and greatly boosted the market share of Dongyun Electronics.
Nintendo was a little confused at first when they saw Dongyun Electronics' operations, but they soon came to their senses.
A response must be made!
A player may have many game cartridges, but most people will only buy one game console.
After all, a game console is quite expensive, unlike a cartridge.
Therefore, behind the sales of "Legend of Moon Shadow" is also hidden the fact that the market share of Dongyun game consoles has also increased significantly.
this is the key of the problem.
However, their brand's flagship "Super Mario" is no match for Legend of Moon Shadow. Whether it is the overseas market or the domestic market, it has been defeated by Dongyun Games.
There is no essential difference between Mario's gameplay and "Legend of Moon Shadow". They are both side-scrolling jumping games.
Although Mario also has brothers, Moon Shadow Legends has dozens of characters.
Compare it to what?
In addition, what "Mario" has, "Legend of Moon Shadow" has, and what Mario doesn't have, others also have.
Why should you fight with others?
Seeing that the domestic market is beginning to lose ground, Nintendo is already preparing to abandon the plan to develop a sequel to "Mario".
Mario alone can't beat them.
A new group game had to be built to counter the invasion of Moonshadow.
However, it is not that easy to build a new worldview.
This is not something that can be decided by just thinking about it.
The basic framework cannot be determined easily. If it were not for repeated research, it would be difficult to reinforce the foundation if the house is built high.
soon.
At the end of 1986, Nintendo finally took action and announced a brand new game.
A new world view, a new game world, and new characters.
"The Legend of Zelda" is here!
Nintendo originally planned to release this game at the beginning of the year, but in the face of the all-round attack by Dongyun Electronics, the release period has been delayed longer and longer.
As of mid-year, Nintendo still had not decided whether to release the game.
Then, seeing how popular "Legend of Moon Shadow" was in the early days, Nintendo immediately set its sights on this new game.
Compared with Mario, the world view of "The Legend of Zelda" is more mature and easier to change.
After a period of emergency development, the main plot of "The Legend of Zelda" has not changed much, but Nintendo has laid many hidden clues.
This is to prepare for future upgrades.
January 1, 1987.
Nintendo has launched a new game "The Legend of Zelda", a new game, new props, a unique game method, and an interesting plot line.
With multiple BUFFs stacked together, "The Legend of Zelda" has indeed saved Nintendo's respect.
But the day after the new game was released, Dongyun Games launched "Legend of Moon Shadow: Age of Chaos".
This game is no longer a jumping game, but an RPG.
Players can operate the game characters to participate in the chaos between the ninja clan and the ninja clan, and there are three story lines.
The reason there are only three is not that the game plot is not completed, but that the current hardware level limits the game’s expansion options.
After all, it was still the 1980s, and PCs were still very expensive.
A small box of cartridges is simply not enough to hold a huge game.
However, even if it is just the monkey version, "Era of Chaos" is very attractive to players.
The detonating talisman, substitute technique, and kunai are all aimed at the small-time market.
correct.
There is also the Wooden Release Ninjutsu, which is also a highlight.
Even if the picture quality is very rough, today's gamers have never experienced CG critical hits. The technical level of Dongyun Games is not to mention ahead of its peers.
But it's definitely on the front line.
That is to say, Li Jie is too lazy to cheat, otherwise, he would teach Nintendo how to be a good person every minute.
The current rhythm is just right. He occasionally visits the company to make suggestions and solve some key problems.
The rest is done by the company's team.
"idiot!"
Nintendo's game producer Miyamoto couldn't help but break the game controller after trying out "Age of Chaos".
This game is definitely not the kind of product that is released in a hurry.
Such a 'huge' world view and plot line is definitely a product that has been developed secretly for several years. Dongyun Games did not bring it out before, just to wait for the sniper "The Legend of Zelda".
damn it!
Lost again!
Although he didn't want to admit it, Miyamoto could still see the gap in the face of the facts. If he couldn't even do this, he was not worthy of becoming a core figure of Nintendo.
only.
How should Nintendo respond now?
Developing a new game is not just a matter of words. The Legend of Zelda game took several years of development to become what it is now.
It's obviously a newly released game, but it's a generation behind.
What should they pursue?
At this moment, Miyamoto suddenly had an idea in his mind. This game may be the biggest crisis Nintendo has faced since entering the game industry.
If it cannot be handled properly, Nintendo games are likely to lose a large part of the market.
Suddenly, Miyamoto had an idea.
Since conventional means don't work, why not use unconventional means?
After all, Dongyun Games is a foreign game company, but they have the convenience of home field.
