"This is the situation, Mr. Su, we have prepared 1 million sets of games, but now the games are all squeezed into the warehouse." Out of trust in the Zhanlong brand, the wealthy Sega produced 1 million sets of arcade frames in one go, and now

But it formed a squeeze, which made Sega panic all of a sudden. If this thing were to be smashed into the hand, it would not only be a loss to Sega, but also have an even greater impact on Zhanlong.

This is the first time both parties have cooperated.

Who knew that Su Butong smiled softly on the other end of the phone and asked: "President Nakamura, do you remember what we discussed before and are you interested in spending hundreds of millions of yen to advertise around the world?"

"We have already spent hundreds of millions of yen in promotional expenses in the early stage, and now we are investing hundreds of millions of yen in it?" Nakamura Hayao said with a wry smile.

"The money for this promotion will be paid by Zhan Long, but I want to increase our share ratio by half. For every Street Fighter game sold, Zhan Long's game share will reach 75%. Do you think that's okay?" Su

Bu Dong smiled mischievously. This situation couldn't be better for Zhan Long. Aren't you going to buy my Street Fighter? Well, let me give you a reason not to buy it.

"Tell me what you want." Hayao Nakayama knew that Subu had many ideas, but now he couldn't think of any way to sell the squeeze game.

"There is one promotion goal: in the middle of next year, Zhanlong will hold the Zhanlong Game World Invitational Tournament in Los Angeles, USA! The champion of the Street Fighter project will receive 1 million U.S. dollars! The competition includes 3 categories: 1. The Street Fighter champion will receive 1 million U.S. dollars. 2. Passionate Blood

Football World Cup version, the winner gets US$500,000. 3. Tank Brawl, the winner gets US$200,000.”

"What? Are you sure?" Nakayama Hayao was stunned. Subudong wanted to make War Dragon's game into a competitive game, but will players really buy it?

Anyway, it was Zhan Long who paid for it, and the dead horse was used as a living horse doctor.

When Sega released the news through its own promotional channels, all the players who saw the news were excited. Just imagine, in the past, you had to spend money to play games, but now you have the opportunity to earn US dollars. Who would not be tempted to change it?

?

And with the release of the competition details, players understand that Dragon War is not a gimmick, but a real attempt to hold such a competition.

1. There will be 12 competition points in China, Europe, Red Rakshasa, Japan, Hong Kong, and the United States. Registration will begin in January next year and will end at the end of March. The regional competition will begin in April next year. The top three will be determined by the regional competition.

name and get a ticket to Los Angeles.

2. The regional competition adopts a knockout round, and the opponents are determined by drawing lots. The winner will enter the next round of knockout rounds.

3. The Street Fighter finals qualifiers adopt a double-elimination format. The winner advances to the winner's bracket, and the loser advances to the loser's bracket. In the qualifiers, 3 games are played. In the group finals (winner's bracket, 5 in the loser's bracket), 7 are played in the finals.

.The rules for the group stage and finals of Football and Tank Clash are 3 games to determine the outcome.

As a result, more people joined the ranks of playing the Dragon War game.

Especially some people feel that their immersion time is not as long as others, why not try it in a new game?

With such a mood, there are always people who go to the arcade every day and ask the boss: "Boss, do you have a street fighter here?"

The owner of the arcade said nothing. The player immediately turned around and left, looking for an arcade with Street Fighter games.

Under such circumstances, Street Fighter's sales grew against the trend, and 1 million units were quickly sold out. A large number of merchants even asked Sega to restock. Because of an advertisement, Sega and War Dragon became the protagonists this time.

By December, Street Fighter sales reached 4 million units.

Even every bar, KTV, and shopping mall will have one or two units to attract customers.

Street fighter has become the most fashionable word.

"Go play Street Fighter." has become the best way for friends to communicate their feelings.

Although some people know that winning the championship is an unattainable dream, it seems that this dream can be realized as long as they work hard.

"We also have to hold a competition to get the players back!" When the Anti-War Dragon Alliance met again, everyone had a trace of embarrassment on their faces because the War Dragon's reversal came so quickly.

Last week they were still having a meeting to laugh at Zhan Long, but this week they received news that Zhan Long's game had sold tens of thousands of copies.

How can you play with Zhanlong?

What makes them feel even more unhappy is that Zhanlong pioneered the trend, and then they tried to follow suit, but found that the market and players did not recognize them!

They also said that we would provide a championship bonus of 1 million US dollars to play our game.

But human beings seem to have a herd mentality by nature. The more people play, the more they will want to play more and communicate more with others.

Therefore, although some players have also been attracted, neither the effect of spending money nor the expected level has reached the height of War Dragon.

In the arcade market, War Dragon and Sega are equally popular for a while!

What's even more irritating is that in Sega's year-end financial report, it was clearly stated that Sega earned US$3.2 billion because of the game "Street Fighter". This is net profit. If it is turnover, it has exceeded 10 billion US dollars! It is US dollars.

, not Japanese yen.

Street Fighter became the most profitable game of the year.

Is this collaboration with Zhan Long so profitable?

As for Dragon Wars, it earned US$300 million because of this game!

Zhanlong used 2 million US dollars to leverage a tens of billions of arcade game market!

The entire game industry once again surrendered to Zhan Long! Once again, it was shocked by Su Butong's unreasonable hand.

At this time, Nintendo was even more jealous. Because of the news that Michael Jackson said that he would not be able to play the game specially produced for him by Zhanlong this year, their stock price fell by 5% in the stock market! Billions of dollars were evaporated in an instant.

market value!

Damn it, are fighting dragons so scary?

They previously informed Zhanlong that they would not release new Zhanlong games this year due to quota restrictions. However, this game that Zhanlong cooperated with Sega turned out to be so profitable.

Hiroshi Yamauchi once again echoed the saying that has been circulating in the industry: "He who can fight the dragon wins the world."

So Yamauchi Hiroshi could no longer bear the pressure from the major shareholders and decided to open up authority to Zhan Long and let Tezuka contact Zhan Long.

"Tell them that they have no quota limit this year. They can release as many games as they want, but they must do it quickly!" Hiroshi Yamauchi almost shouted.

Tezuka was speechless.

Weren't you the one who said at that time that we wouldn't let others release new games on the FC platform?

Doesn’t this mean that you can’t live with money with your eyes open?

It's a good thing now that you're slapping yourself in the face and asking someone to publish your game.

Isn't this a joke?

Fortunately, Su Butong seems to have no intention of pursuing this matter, and happily stated that only "Plants vs. Zombies" needs to be released this year.

The more exciting move of Zhan Long was announced in December.

Zhanlong announced that it will release a version of "Super Street Fighter" during the Christmas period. This "Super Street Fighter" adds 4 new characters, known as the Four Kings!

Merchants who previously purchased the first edition of "Street Fighter" can send the game back to Sega and purchase the new "Super Street Fighter" at half the price. You can also purchase the new one directly and get a 19.9% ​​discount with the purchase receipt.

As a result, "Super Street Fighter" sold more than 2 million copies before the start of the Battle Dragon Game World Invitational Tournament! Battle Dragon once again earned more than 100 million US dollars!

The entire industry is speechless. Damn Zhanlong, are you here to steal money?

Did you split a game into two and sell it?
Chapter completed!
