SNK’s sales enthusiasm is way too much…
The episodes this person talks about only feature madmen.
>>2
And the trick that the storyteller themselves is the biggest madman.
I heard they were also selling in developing countries, but I didn’t know it was to this extent…
I was a bit scared but also happy when this uncle replied to my quote retweet about Metasura.
>>4
When you quote someone, they get notified a lot.
Notifications even go for replies to quotes.
The salaryman that appears on the battlefield in Metal Slug is like that.
I wonder if there are people who were burned out by selling Metal Slug at that time and rushed into the game development industry…
Could it be that other manufacturers were actually this crazy too…?
>>8
The times are…
In the early days of the gaming industry, everyone was groping in the dark, so there were no proper rules.
It was a chicken race where the one who did it first wins.
It’s often talked about in a post-war chaotic atmosphere, but it’s the 90s!
>>11
It’s the latter half of the 90s.
During the time of Metasla, it wasn’t quite the dawn of an era, was it?
For now, I’m treating you, but the uncle forced to eat crabs that he doesn’t think are tasty at all…
Well, it’s not like it was that early era during the time of Metal Slug, right…?
It seems that Capcom also didn’t deal with candy shops and developing countries.
It was an era when everyone was crazy, and as a pixel artist for SNK, it was especially insane.
Whoa, that’s a bit beyond my imagination…
It may be the dawn period for NAZCA.
It seems that Neo Geo cabinets had spread even to the remote parts of China.
What kind of sales were you doing… has been said for a long time.
>>17
It seems that their style was to negotiate anywhere that looked like it could be profitable.
Is it the president’s fault that there were so many Mincon crabs in 3?
When it comes to crabs from Ishikawa Prefecture, it’s probably Echizen crab, so there’s nothing you can do about it…
“Smoothly flow through 200 sheets a day.”
Cover up with the president’s madman episode.
Everything is amazing somehow.
A device like a robot controller that does one action.
If you don’t go crazy while hitting each one, then you can’t do it.
>>22
Before that, it was handwritten on graph paper.
It’s easy to imagine that the creator is crazy, but was the salesperson also out of their mind…?
It’s nostalgic to think back on the NAZCA and SNK days!
During the Irem era, there were complaints about low salaries and grievances…
>>25
Irem’s official End theme manga was also overflowing with some darkness…
>>46
What is that…
>>54
I’m more hungry than anything else.
As expected, the environment in the age of Metal Slug is a bit better!
>>27
(Wearing a cardboard box and typing dots)
Crab meat…
Is it because of people like these that even in the countryside there are game cabinets?
>>30
I heard a story that in some remote rural area of the Middle East, the only thing for children to play with is Japanese arcade games, and everyone is playing them.
Here it comes… Crab bragging…
Meta Slug gives the impression of having started in the late 80s to early 90s, but 1996 actually seems surprisingly new.
It feels like an episode from the chaos of the post-war period, doesn’t it…?
You can’t really compete with seafood from the Hokuriku region…
Was it really unusual for SNK to simply sell to developing countries?
Anyway, Metasla sells better overseas than in Japan!
It’s understandable since the artist was on the verge of death from overwork.
>>36
It seems like the doctors are just getting hung up on it on their own after hearing the story…
>>36
In fact, the arcade version sold well in Japan.
The home version hasn’t sold at all and has become extremely rare…
>>40
It was difficult to transplant.
The Neo Geo that can be replicated exactly is too expensive.
Hurry up and finish the Black Finger Jet.
>>37
Your body must be really worn out, so don’t rush it like that…
Is that frozen crab delicious? I can’t eat it…
The most popular KOF in the depths of China was KOF 97, right?
The founder of SNK is a person with a vitality comparable to that of a madman…
(Aside from the fact that both sides are crazy) it’s a nice story.
It’s strange how casually they talk about working hours being messed up, making my sense of reality feel off.
Vivid…
>>47
It’s been two years already! Hurry up and release the game!
>>47
Could this be the origin of Gomander?
Wasn’t graph paper from the Irem era?
I feel like R-TYPE was made that way.
The foreigner in the replies is saying that it was everywhere in Europe.
I heard that the person who designed Gomandar is a woman.
Is this person a man…?
>>52
The theory that the designer of Gomander is a woman is a common internet rumor.
>>52
So it has been rewritten on the wiki as a hoax.
>>58
I see… I just learned that for the first time.
Are you listening, Akio-kun!!
Thanks to this crazy business, we were able to be picked up by China and Korea when we went under…
If the president is willing to go that far, I trust them.
The vitality of people from the past is really amazing.
Those who can’t cope have just died.
What is sales activities that encounter bandits?
>>63
If you think of it as something like the local yakuza, then I suppose there are some around…
The episode itself is interesting, but Akio’s way of speaking is also amusing.
>>64
It’s quite long, but it makes you want to read it.
>>64
Colleagues occasionally talk about it too, but there’s quite a difference, isn’t there?
I was quite surprised to learn that the reason for Metasura characters drooling after selection was for the sake of differentiation.
The impact of the actual designer’s impressive background outweighed the fact that Gomander was a hoax, didn’t it?
The person who designed the Gomander is this old man.
The one who digitized the dots written on graph paper should have been the older sister.
I wonder whose idea the overly elaborate gal-game-like combat school was.
Actually, the person who designed that is a woman! I think there are a lot of rumors in the gaming industry, so most of them are probably false.
>>72
In the gaming industry, or rather… I feel like the theory that ○○ is female has been overemphasized to the point where this phrase has lost its meaning.
I like the background music of the Chinese noodle shop here.
It’s shocking that the same person was behind R-type and Metal Slug.
>>76
As an artist at Irem, the underwater war might be more popular.
>>76
If you look at R-TYPE 2 or Submarine War, it’s interesting.
Also, the backgrounds from KOF94 too.
How terrible was Irem?
The stories that come up every time are so insane that they’re funny…
But the stories from the Irem era are not quite funny.
Thanks to that, there seems to be a story that the foundation of NEOGEO is in place, which also means that illegal KOF97 has increased… I wonder?
You’re belittling frozen crab…!
A rock story keeps coming up.
Scary…
This account is sweeping away urban legends with the appearance of the person involved.
There’s nothing we can do since it’s what the person themselves is saying.
When I went on a trip to Thailand, I was playing Metal Slug instead of sightseeing.
Isn’t a new urban legend being born?
It’s great to be able to determine the truth of rumors, like the case with Gomander.
>>88
I think it’s the positive aspect of the pros and cons of social media.
The theory that has been whispered about since ancient times has now been denied by the person themselves.
Sometimes the person themselves has a memory lapse and makes a mistake…
>>95
Are you talking about the hidden password in Yokai Douchuu Ki?
No way… Could it be that the development of GeoStorm is also MetaSlime!?
What was created by an incredible old man, who broke his body while doing so, is Metasura…
No, this is definitely overwork!
Conversely, it seems that urban legends are being born…
Meta Slug 1 is from Nazca, right…? You can’t be serious…
This didn’t work out as suggested in the reply.
They’re really selling it everywhere, huh…
What is it about so many foreigners being crazy about Metasla…?
>>94
There may be an aspect that it was the only option at that time.
>>94
I sold it worldwide as I mentioned.
And after all, it’s interesting because it’s MetaSlime.
The person involved said that the FC version of Image Fight had an unusually large stock left over, so from now on it will be completely made to order.
Well, I guess it’s no surprise that the old Irem withdrew from the gaming business so quickly…
Metasla probably has a strong influence on today’s dot games.
It is undoubtedly thanks to the president that we have our current international recognition.
Was it really necessary to operate until the bandits showed up…?
>>99
I properly sold Metal Slug! Nameless kio-kun!
>>99
Even bandits would play Metal Slug, right?
The person from Irem had previously answered in an interview that the development materials for R·TYPE have been lost.
It seems like the dot uncle is just casually holding some materials…
>>102
The person who designed Gomander was the one in the thread.
It seems like I’ve been misunderstood for a long time.
>>109
Female employees have been talked about regarding design and so on, right?
>>115
It seems that the female employee, who was doing the work of converting images to pixel art, has been misunderstood all along.
>>102
That’s what materials are like.
I saw a foreigner replying that there was always at least one Metal Slug machine in any arcade in South America, and I couldn’t help but laugh.
The Neo Geo’s sales are seriously problematic because they hardly take any cut of the profits at all.
It’s a business run by a lunatic driven only by passion.
Thanks to that, SNK now has various countries as sponsors, which is quite ironic.
Heavy Masking is something I still want to say out loud.
Why is a simple sales pitch going on an adventure just like in the main series of MetaSlayer…?
>>107
If you give the president a gun in their episode, it’s just like Metal Slug!
The image of a syringe being injected into my neck hit the exact spot and it was no good.
I hear that Neo Geo was seriously doing business all over the world.
The fact that KoF98 is incredibly popular in Southeast Asia is thanks to this…
>>112
The talk about everyone doing it was because it was regularly bundled with PCs, right?
>>122
It’s 97, but yes.
I knew that it was well-received overseas, but they were selling it like that… That’s why it’s so famous.
It’s interesting because there is a reason behind why it was done that way.
Well… the management of Arem is like this…
>>120
A company that makes its employees work overtime until 5 AM doesn’t have the luxury to manage anything!
Isn’t this person completely broken in the neck, shoulders, and lower back?
It also says that my knee was damaged, as if by a bike…
>>121
Perhaps the spirit as well…
This person’s story is really interesting…
“There is a rumor that I said this in the past, but it’s false; I never said such a thing.”
“They’re saying that in the interview on page ◯ of the ◯ issue.”
“You said it, didn’t you…”
There was something like that.
I want you to draw a Magic: The Gathering creature again.
There were quite a few people who were like, “I am the main designer!” (Even though I’m not the main designer) in a different conversation.
The foreign popularity of Metasura is amazing…
>>130
Indie games that have still been brain-melted by Metal Slug keep coming out in droves…
Irem is extremely black.
Of course the game division would collapse, and the remnants would end up at a new company.
>>131
It’s not that this company was the only one that was particularly bad.
Other game companies feel pretty much the same as well…
>>135
To be honest, it’s not just the company; the employees are mostly troublemakers too in this industry.
>>138
I was talking about how Miyahon and the current Nintendo would never pass.
>>138
I loved the story of Ganbare Gin-kun, but…
As I thought, it disappeared along with the developer interview…
I don’t think they’re the type to get into spirituality.
There are occasionally people of the iron man type.
Do you really talk about house arrest so casually…?
It’s 5 AM, so it’s about Metal Slug, right?
Did I miss something?
>>136
It also appears in another story from Irem.
>>136
It’s not SNK, it’s NAZCA, and it also comes up in the discussion about Irem!
The founder is amazing after all.
Regarding the development materials, if anyone other than the Dot person is part of the Irem development team disbanding…
It said that everyone shared and decided to take home the development materials.
>>139
This is a stapler, right?
Irem had a somewhat rough or slightly twisted feeling overall, like in some development diary or blog comic related to the Sakurazaka Fire Brigade or something.
>>142
“That’s what a dire predicament city is like…”
>>154
This game is quite influenced by the personal feelings of the employees.
As a result of selling extensively to developing countries, KOF’s popularity has taken root in China, Brazil, and the Middle East.
Isn’t the popularity of Metaslash stronger in Europe?
>>144
I think it’s not an exaggeration to say that if we group it as Neo Geo, it can even be understood in Africa, so it’s truly worldwide.
Back then, there were many workplaces with quite crazy work styles, not just in gaming.
Everyone talks about Metasura, but it was released at the same time.
The pixel art of Big Tournament Golf is pretty insane, isn’t it…?
I lived through that time, but it was the first time I learned that Neo Geo Land existed…
I laughed when he said he signed for the crown prince but didn’t receive an oil field.
Story about Irem’s materials.
It was common for development teams to take their data and go independent, so it was an era where both sides seemed equal.
>>153
I’ve heard that there are quite a few cases where development boards are lost as is when taken out, and then show up on Yahoo Auctions…
When the staff talks about the development at that time in the Arcade Archivers, the labor conditions that were generally accepted back then easily come up.
At Taito, there was a story about Mr. Senba from Gunfront Metabla calmly talking about how the air conditioning in the development room was shut off, and the current employees hurried to cover for him.
>>155
Taito is well…
>>155
This person has been creating websites and sharing industry insider stories since a long time ago.
>>155
In terms of Taito, it’s an outrageous story that even a massive hit like Darius Gaiden had documents accidentally thrown away at the time…
Even in the later era of arcade games, it was terrible.
>>165
There was also talk about NiceT having an unknown source code.
There are too many episodes of working from morning to morning…
What was it again?
There was a recent revelation that Capcom’s team was recruited to work on Parasite Eve 2 after Dino Crisis, and they were using data from Dino Crisis to create Parasite Eve 2.
>>158
Suspicion of source reuse in ToToMonono or something like that.
Because the PC98 was sold like crazy all over the world.
There are many foreigners who are into the game 98.
Is Irem still that crap even in the 2000s!?
>>164
That’s why it perished…
>>164
A bad company is still bad even in today’s world.
The company that made that incredibly huge hit action RPG filled with toxic swamps…
The fact that the game is selling well is a completely different matter from the internal circumstances.
>>178
Well, it seemed like Carbure was stuck as a fossil all this time…
Why are meta-slasher figures and plastic models being released only overseas?
Why is KOF unusually popular in China and Korea, and why does the oil king provide money so that the company doesn’t go bankrupt?
Given the fact that I went abroad selling on foot, it makes perfect sense.
Irem has been quite lax, considering that one of the staff members from the R-TYPE TACTICS II production indiscriminately created an official unofficial site and released confidential documents.
The Neo Geo cabinets were really placed in all sorts of places, weren’t they?
>>169
Since it was a lease, there were a lot of small candy shops too.
Sega was also involved with the infamous Pasona.
I can’t stand the episode where I become indifferent to crabs.
Duke Takado is amazing.
I never expected this crazy sales effort to reach even the oil tycoons…
A wave of recession like a raging storm! There was a memoir about UPL, which went bankrupt, suddenly informing employees when they arrived at work, leading them to take various things home.
>>177
It’s nice, isn’t it, grave diggers…
Exploding Beetle!?
The development scene during consecutive overnight stays is often talked about, and while some people say it was fun like a cultural festival every day,
There are people who lament the hellish situation, and each location and each person seems to have their own unique experience.
>>179
It mostly depends on human relationships.
A wicked company that tricks the grandma of the candy shop into placing a Neo Geo under the eaves.
The situation for Neo Geo in its final days had become the worst, with ROMs circulating online before they were released in arcades…
KOF99 was just playing normally.
I’ve heard that FromSoftware has a really high turnover of employees…
It’s crazy to want to put a Neo Geo in a vending machine, but I can still understand it.
There are no vending machines like that in Japan!
Around the year 2000, the management of development documents was the most lax.
If it’s before that, it can be managed manually.
After that, it is neatly stored in the internal database and version control.
