Zhao Ye spent the entire day discussing these six fighting games with the game developers (Fatal Fury was removed).
These six fighting games were all very famous in his previous life. When Zhao Ye was researching the game industry, he had played these games on arcades, home consoles, and computers. He wouldn't call himself an expert, but he was familiar with the basic character controls.
The Nintendo FC platform also has a well-known fighting game called "Kung Fu", which sold quite well.
However, after Zhao Ye explained how to play the fighting game, everyone suddenly felt that "Kung Fu" wasn't very interesting anymore.
Zhao Ye said, "In my opinion, current fighting games are very rudimentary, superficial, and uninteresting. Our Wujiang Group wants to establish the basic concepts of fighting games in the industry. For example, fighting games should have special moves, light and heavy punches, defense, stamina bars, energy bars, and time limits, etc. Based on these basic standards, and then designing games, then at least we can develop a decent fighting game!"
"For example, Baskin in The King of Fighters has five special moves: 108 Style: Dark Blow, 100 Style: Oni-Yaki, 212 Style: Kotozuki In, 127 Style: Sunflower, and Kuzuka."
"Players can use the 108 moves of Dark Sweep by repeatedly pressing ↓→·a or c".
"Players can use the Hundred Style: Oni-Yaki by repeatedly pressing →↓·a or c."
"The other three ultimate moves are operated in a similar manner."
"These moves, which require a certain level of skill, are naturally a bit difficult to execute, but it's precisely this difficulty that captivates players. Imagine the sense of accomplishment when a player uses these special moves and defeats their opponent; wouldn't that make them even more interested in the fighting game?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, feeling that what the boss said was absolutely right. At that moment, everyone seemed to have their meridians opened up, becoming unparalleled masters, and instantly understood the true essence of fighting games.
Then, thinking of the currently popular "Kung Fu Hustle" on the FC, a look of disgust and disdain involuntarily appeared on his face.
Zhao Ye continued, "It's June now, and I'm giving you three months to develop these fighting games. Each game development team will have nearly 100 people on average. With 100 people developing one game, the development speed will definitely be very fast!"
“Three months later, it will be September 8th…” Zhao Ye murmured. In an instant, a poem involuntarily surfaced in his mind, perfectly matching his inner emotions, and he couldn’t help but recite it aloud:
When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month...
My flowers bloom, and all others wither.
The fragrance of incense permeated Chang'an.
The entire city is adorned with golden armor.
The voice was powerful and resonant, carrying a murderous intent that was clearly directed at Nintendo.
My flowers bloom, and all others wither!
What can FC use to fight itself?!
Zhao Ye couldn't help but smile.
Nintendo was unlucky to run into its own overpowered counterpart.
After listening to Zhao Ye recite the poem, everyone present felt that their boss was awesome, exuding domineering aura and full of personal charm. Their admiration for him seemed to have been instantly boosted to the maximum...
...
...
From the second day onwards, the game development department seemed to be on fire, everyone was full of energy and extremely excited.
Discussions about the game were incessant.
Zhao Ye only provided a general framework for the game design; the specific details still need to be researched and improved by the development team members working together.
To prevent any mistakes in the game development direction, Zhao Ye spent about a week in the game development department, answering their questions and pointing them in the right direction. Only after they had a thorough understanding of the design concepts behind these fighting games did Zhao Ye leave and return to Loongson Design Company to continue his research on EDA chip design software and memory chips.
This week, the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" maintained stable sales of between 150,000 and 200,000 units per day.
The total sales for the second week were 1,017,000.
In the two weeks combined, the total sales of the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" reached 2.35 million units.
These sales figures are truly terrifying!
...
Shueisha, one of Japan's major manga publishers, produces the magazine "Weekly Shonen Jump".
"Mr. Yoshihisa Ping, would Weekly Shonen Jump be willing to publish the Pokémon manga?" Gu Tao, an executive of Wujiang Group (Japan branch), came to Shueisha and asked Yoshihisa Ping, the editor-in-chief of Weekly Shonen Jump.
When Yoshihisa heard Gu Tao's purpose for coming, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
The Pokémon anime and games are wildly popular in Japan, and if it were adapted into a manga, it would definitely be a huge hit.
Weekly Shonen Jump magazine originally wanted to contact Wujiang Group to obtain the manga adaptation rights for Pokémon, but unexpectedly, Wujiang Group had already produced the manga.
However, that's fine, as long as Weekly Shonen Jump can publish Pokémon?
With a smile, Yoshihisa replied, "Of course! I don't think any magazine in all of Japan would refuse Pokémon!"
Gu Tao himself thought so too.
"Could you publish it in Weekly Shonen Jump as soon as possible? After all, this is a critical moment for the sales of the 'Qiongqi Home Game Console,' and I think Mr. Yoshihisa Hei should be well aware of this."
"Of course, no problem. We'll arrange for Pokémon to be released in Weekly Shonen Jump next week!"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Bottle Yoshihisa!"
