A week after the press conference, Akihabara once again ushered in a grand event, with countless players gathering here again, for no other reason than to experience the twelve mythical beasts.

Even if they can't fight like Pokemon, it's enough.

"Nobuda-kun, you are here too!"

Shinoda Shuyuki was also a member of the vast army. He smiled and nodded to the player who spoke.

With his current status, there is absolutely no problem in asking the Han Dynasty to give him a copy of the Twelve Zodiac Adventures. As the most popular player among them, he is confident that he still has the qualifications.

But he still came, and joined the rush to buy like ordinary players, for no other reason than for the surprise at the release site.

There must be surprises at the launch of Han Dynasty. This has become a recognized fact for all players, from Might and Magic, to DDR, to Under One Man, Pocket Elf

Not once did the Han Dynasty disappoint him. He could ask the Han Dynasty for a copy of the Twelve Zodiac Adventures, but this surprise could only be experienced at the sale site.

"A super masterpiece, a super masterpiece that far surpasses Super Mario. Liu Jun's ability to explore the depth of the game is so strong."

Tsujimoto Kenzo looked at the players below who were almost all running for the Zodiac Adventure and praised them.

"From Poké Ball, to Pocket Elf, and now to the Twelve Zodiac Adventures, this can actually be considered a series of games."

Nakamura Masaya nodded.

"It's not just these. Don't forget the several games that Liu Jung first entered into the game industry, Elf Comes to Trouble, Elf Lianliankan, and later Elf Battle."

"Even though there are Pokemon game characters in Might and Magic, these are all related to Pokemon. Do you think Liu Jun has been planning for Pokemon from the beginning?"

Tsujimoto Kenzo suddenly felt a little creepy.

"No way? It should be that Liu Jun saw the popularity of games featuring those characters, so he took advantage of them to develop Pokemon."

That being said, he already somewhat believed that Liu Zhiyuan had been planning for Pokemon from the moment he entered the gaming industry.

But isn’t this too illogical? Liu Zhiyuan was a newcomer at that time. How could an 18-year-old newcomer have such a long-term plan!?

The game "Twelve Zodiac Adventures" has a global premiere, but Jerry Liu is only in Japan. Similarly, Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog also has a global premiere.

The main market for d is Europe and the United States. If it weren't for Liu Zhiyuan being in Japan, Nakayama Hayao would have gone to Europe and the United States long ago.

"Do you understand? Super Game i does not mean how well a game is done, but its influence and the rewards it brings."

Liu Zhiyuan started a small class again, and Satoshi Tajiri and others were also there. This small meeting was actually held for his Pokemon development team.

"It doesn't matter whether a game is fun or not, as long as it is influential and can affect all aspects of people's lives, it is a super big gamei."

“The reason why Adidas proactively mentioned the future of clothing in the Pokemon series and the Han Dynasty is because the image of Pokemon’s game characters has been able to influence people’s dressing and has become a trend.”

How could Liu Zhiyuan not add something to this kind of game, just forget about it after transformation, but in the cartoon form, without wearing sneakers and beautiful clothes, isn't this a waste!

The next designated president of Adidas completely followed Liu Zhiyuan's thinking and flew to Japan directly after the press conference to sign an agreement with the Han Dynasty.

A contract that requires Adidas to have exclusive rights to anything related to the Pokemon image.

Liu Zhiyuan agreed without thinking. It would be a waste to give all these game character images to Adidas, because brand belief will prevent the value of these images from being fully developed.

But we haven't reached that point yet. If the Internet doesn't become popular, it won't have much impact on Adidas.

A 10-year contract with 37% share of net profit, 7% for Adidas and 3% for Han Dynasty. Liu Zhiyuan thinks this contract is enough.

By the year 2000, when the Internet has completely become a publicity channel in the world, who would want to monopolize the image of Pocket Elf again?

These 10 years have also allowed other companies involved in the use of these game character images to clearly understand their value and sell them at a good price.

"The ultimate goal of Super Game i is virtual idol."

This is not Liu Zhiyuan’s foolish dream, but it really exists. Hatsune Miku is a virtual game character who is so pure that she cannot be more pure.

But her value is immeasurable. The value she creates alone makes her truly the number one princess in the world. What’s more, her potential is far from being developed.

"How much do you think Michael Jackson is worth? The value of virtual idols will far exceed that of Michael Jackson. This is a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars!"

Everyone was shocked speechless by the scene Liu Zhiyuan described.

Can game characters be worth as much as a world superstar like Michael Jackson? They don't believe it from the bottom of their hearts.

But the Adidas contract told them that this was possible. As long as Pocket Elf affects people's lives more and more deeply, then this future may really happen.

"Of course, there may be only a handful of virtual idols that can compare with the value of a superstar like Michael Jackson, but Pokemon has this potential."

"At least it's possible for Chenlong to do it, so developing the Pokemon series is just one of the next important tasks. Finding ways to develop their surrounding value is the top priority!"

Why did Liu Zhiyuan say this to Tajiri Satoshi and others? First, it was to open up their minds.

Secondly, it is to prepare for Sega. He doesn’t know whether Sonic will be successful, but it will definitely not be as successful as it has been historically.

If Sonic cannot bring huge revenue to Sega, it will inevitably fall into financial crisis. Hayao Nakayama is a man who can spend money.

If it weren't for Sega's strong foundation and Hayao Nakayama's creativity, Sega would have collapsed long ago.

And what can Sega rely on without Sonic as its financial source? Might and Magic! The foundation left by Yu Suzuki has almost defeated Sega.

To put it bluntly, the games developed under the leadership of Yu Suzuki are actually not that fun, and the experience is quite average. It’s just that the concepts are too advanced and no one has ever seen them.

Space Harry amazed the world, but how unfriendly 3D games are to players, as those players in later generations who are dizzy with 3D know all too well.

Most of Yu Suzuki's games can only show their true power in the 3D era. Can Sega last until then? Even until the advent of 32-bit consoles.

Without Yu Suzuki, he didn't believe anyone could develop these games well enough. The 3D era was coming, but that didn't mean it was mature.

All game companies are still exploring. In this case, it would be damned if Sega could develop the legacy left by Yu Suzuki, because Yu Suzuki himself has not developed it.
