#秋日生活打卡季#
1. New games dominate the top three sales lists
In the new week from October 2 to October 8, the top three places in the Famitsu sales list were occupied by new works.
"Detective Pikachu: Lightning Returns" tops the list with 85,636 copies, and "Game of Life" and the PS5 version of "Assassin's Creed: Mirage" rank second and third, respectively.
The PS double version of "Sword Art Online: Alien Gathering" was on the list, with a total sales of more than 20,000 and a strong performance.
2, the US media advocated the sale of Nintendo
Acquisitions in the game industry are now popular, and there are even media coveted Nintendo.
The Financial Times recently published an article saying that Japan's economy is sluggish, Nintendo should sell itself to large companies, one can quantify the value of Japanese companies, and the other can break the economic shackles and activate the market.
The authors also mention Microsoft, Disney, Apple, and even Google and Sony as potential buyers.
It is estimated that Nintendo will find it incredible when they see this article, Microsoft has wanted to buy Nintendo since 1999, and the result was only ridiculed.
Although Microsoft now owns the two major groups of B and Activision Blizzard, it has grown into a giant in the gaming industry.
But Nintendo is now in full swing, and its employees are very loyal, and when the Wiiu failed 10 years ago, it would rather take a pay cut than leave, and the possibility of being acquired is very small.
3. The couple was sentenced to 1.4 million fake amiibos for self-made
According to Jiefang Daily: Recently, information from the Minhang District People's Procuratorate in Shanghai showed that a case of manufacturing and selling fake "amiibo" game cards was decided, and the defendants Feng Moumou, Zhu Moumou and Zeng Moumou were sentenced by the court to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from one to three years for the crime of counterfeiting registered trademarks, and suspended sentences were applied, and each was fined.
Zhu Moumou confessed that he was unemployed at home in 2021, recalling that he had bought counterfeit game cards marked with the "amiibo" trademark when playing games before, and felt that it was a way to make money, so he repeatedly watched the tutorials uploaded by the "up masters" to learn how to write game data to a blank IC card through the burner. After completing his studies, Zhu Moumou purchased a large number of blank IC cards, wrote data to burn game cards by himself, and sold them through e-commerce platforms, and his girlfriend Feng Moumou assisted in shipping them on weekends.
In July 2022, when Xiao Shen was browsing online, he found that the cards sold in a certain store were cheap and sold well, so he ordered 2 sets of game cards through two e-commerce platforms. After receiving the game card, Xiao Shen found that the card he bought this time was rough and inconsistent with the official genuine product, suspected that it was pirated, and reported it to the police station.
All three have pleaded guilty and withdrawn their illicit gains.
4, Nintendo improves the image of Princess Beach
Nikzen Paradise quietly adjusted the visual map of "Princess Beach: Performance Moment", and the adjusted princess has sharp eyes and full of aura, which also allows players to have more intuitive expectations for the content of the game.
Princess Beach: Moment of Show is an action game featuring Princess Beach, which will arrive on Switch on March 22, 2024.
THE PRINCESS IN THE GAME IS NO LONGER THE WEAK IMAGE WHO IS CAPTURED ALL DAY, BUT WILL TURN INTO A MARTIAL ARTIST, A WARRIOR, A MASTER OF MARTIAL ARTS AND FIGHT MONSTERS, AND I wonder if mario can still hold her?
5. "Pokémon: Zhu/Zi" update to fix bugs
"Pokémon: Zhu/Zi" recently released ver2.0.2, which fixes the following issues:
Fixed an issue where area trainers would occasionally not be recorded even if they won under certain conditions.
・ Winning rewards due to not being recorded cannot be solved.
Fixed an issue where games prior to Ver.1.3.2 could not bring out Pokémon GO's special Pokémon from Pokémon HOME.
Fix other issues.
"Pokémon: Zhu/Zi" has many bugs since its release, and there will be new bugs after the update, and GF really has to reflect on it.
6. "Three Kingdoms 8: Remastered" large-scale update
KT has made a large-scale update to the information of "Three Kingdoms 8: Remastered", which will inherit the framework of "Three Kingdoms 8", but filled in more new content and gameplay, which can be regarded as the latest version of the "Three Kingdoms" game.
The remastered battlefield will be a combination of 3D and 2D, with turn-based gameplay.
The martial arts will be expanded from 600 to 1,000 players.
The script was increased to 55, covering all major historical nodes from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the end of the Three Kingdoms period.
Character attributes are richer, in addition to common attributes such as force intelligence, elements such as tactics, personality, stunts, and fate have been added, and each has a unique network and friendly warriors.
And enhance the performance effect of the event, more immersive.
7. Microsoft successfully acquired Activision Blizzard
On October 13, 2023, the UK's CMA officially approved Microsoft's $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and the two companies finally officially merged as they wished.
Microsoft President Brad Smith and XBOX CEO Phil Spencer and XBOX Official Twitter all posted to welcome Activision Blizzard to Microsoft, and Activision Blizzard Games will join XGP from then on.
That's not a good thing for the industry. Too large a company will create a monopoly on resources, at least Sony will no longer get exclusive rights to launch Call of Duty.
The addition of Activision Blizzard games to XGP will also have a negative impact on Nintendo and other software vendors.
From the current point of view, the game industry is more inclined to directly acquire mature studios rather than cultivate its own developers, and after this short-term success has become mainstream, I wonder how many companies can slowly produce games?
8. Shinji Mikami prepares for a comeback
Since leaving B in February this year, Shinji Mikami has been in a state of retirement, distributing food, travel and scenery every day.
He also cleared games such as "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom", "Resident Evil 4: Remake", "Soul of Tsushima" and so on.
Perhaps a little tired of such a life, Shinji Mikami recently tweeted: I need to get out of my comfort zone and start working!
Fans were very excited when they heard the news, urging him to hurry up and make sequels to "Dinosaur Crisis" and "Evil Possessed".
As a star producer who has developed masterpieces such as "Resident Evil", "Devil May Cry", "Perfect Sound Wave" and so on, I wonder what kind of games he will develop for players?
9. "GTA6" upgrades the engine, the effect is amazing
Recently, French media Rockstar Mag reported that R Star will upgrade the Rage engine to further improve the visual effects and texture characteristics in GTA6.
The upgraded engine can express powerful water bodies and physical details, such as the effect of heavy rain falling on the surface of the car, and more detailed vehicle performance.
GTA6 will also add a real-time weather system that provides AI capabilities to make NPCs more realistic.
Rockstar Mag also said that GTA6 has improved the graphics of Red Dead Redemption 2 more than Red Dead Redemption 2 in GTA5!
It is rumored that the game will be officially announced on October 26 and released in fiscal year 2024-2025.
That's all for today, I hope you enjoy it.
Your attention is my greatest encouragement.
