Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 122 Tsukino Aya’s coincidence 6/7

Chapter 122 Tsukino Aya’s Coincidence (67)

 In fact, if it were produced normally according to previous games, Dragon Quest 3 would have been the first game in the world where the main character was a female.

 Dragon Quest 3’s own hero Lott had a gender selectable character in previous games.

However, Zhuyouxing deleted the option to change gender after the modification.

 In fact, he just wants to hand over the title of the first female main character in a video game to Metroid again.

And it is obvious that Metroid's own character characteristics are more obvious than Dragon Quest, and it is more suitable for Samus to be the first playable female main character in a video game.

On the day Metroid was officially released, perhaps because of the final modified star rating of the game by Yinan Game Network, more people lined up to buy it than expected.

In the first five days of release, the trial period of the game has also been extended. This time, players can finally experience the fun of Metroid itself in advance.

The people queuing up now to buy are almost all people who are fully interested in the game itself.

This time, in order to avoid the recurrence of the last fights, some major sales locations even hired several temporary security guards to maintain order.

This time the people queuing up were indeed much more honest, and there was no more trouble like the last time.

 Customers purchase games in an orderly manner, and then those who purchase happily take the game home and start playing it.

 According to normal rules, it will take at least a day for these people to actually play the ending of Metroid.

 At that time, there should be another small wave of craze.

 And tomorrow happens to be the day when the first video game show is broadcast.



This actually made those TV station employees quite depressed.

 This is passive acceptance of spoilers.

But there’s nothing we can do about it, it’s their job.

 At the same time, various promotional materials have also been arranged.

One day after Metroid was officially released, Metroid, who had previously been promoted in advertisements on billboards, subways, and TV stations, also took off her helmet, revealing her true face.

That was a blond woman with sharp eyes and heroic appearance.

In the video game business section of the Japanese economic news newspaper that day, Sams's female image also occupied the entire page.

 The world’s first female video game hero, a controllable female hero!

 Independent, powerful, handsome and dazzling female hero!

Tian Chong, who was in the newspaper office, looked at the page he had edited with satisfaction.

 At the same time, he also sighed secretly in his heart.

The image of this Samus is really beautiful.

That heroic feeling, coupled with her identity as a woman, fully reflects the strong side of women.

Although the status of women in Japan is very low, this does not prevent people from yearning for such an image of a strong woman.

what is this? This is pure political correctness.

Those who saw the advertisement were also wide-eyed.

 Almost every advertisement emphasizes that this is the world's first video game heroine, which has a very special symbolic meaning.

 The most powerful bounty hunter in the universe is a woman. This means that women also have their own strong side, right?

 In the past, people who were not interested in Metroid immediately decided to buy it.

  Regardless of whether to play it or not, the unique meaning of this game alone is worth buying a box.

 This also resulted in more players buying on the second and third days than on the first day.

The publicity effect this time was outstanding, and some people even started to praise Zhuyouxing.

I think he is a person who has the courage to make innovations and breakthroughs, and he is also a person who has the courage to confront tradition.

The first episode of TV Tokyo’s video game program was also very effective.

The host played Metroid in front of the TV with an employee of the Yuxing Company's publicity team.

　　Showing the most charming side of Metroid in front of the audience.

At the same time, this employee still used the fastest speed to clear the level so that people could see Samus in a bikini.

Then the publicity team employee explained in front of the camera how to trigger the game's ending.

　Until now, people finally realized that different clearance times will affect the ending.

If you're a skilled enough player, you can actually see a Bikini Samus in person.

Oops, my LSP soul has to burst out, and I have to clear the level quickly no matter what.

Even though the pixel-like picture is actually nothing interesting, the curiosity and curiosity still makes many players who are not part of the audience take the initiative to come into contact with this game.

 This also allows the charm of Galaxy City games to flourish.

Facing the many new promotional tricks of Youxing Company, Suri Electronics and other companies seem to have calmed down for a long time.

 It's impossible to remain calm. They can't surpass it anyway, so they can only look up.

 But this does not mean that they will give up the pursuit.

Not long afterward, several game companies immediately announced that they would develop a female hero game to fully demonstrate the beauty of strong women.

 In real society, women cannot truly achieve equal rights, so let’s show it in the game.

The craze for the heroine Samus lasted for more than half a month, and then the popularity slowly subsided, and Metroid's first-week sales data were also calculated.

 Sales volume reached 230,000 in the first week.

 At present, it is a high-quality game that belongs to the upper reaches.

Nowadays, a game above the passing line on the Famicom can have sales of about 100,000 to 150,000 in the first week.

 Hand of high-quality games can hover around 150,000 to 200,000 yuan.

Two hundred and thirty thousand in the first week is already the level of high-quality games.

However, part of this should be the bonus of the first female hero, which once again attracts many non-target players.

 Zhu Youxing is quite satisfied with this result.

  Metroid’s sales in its previous life were in the millions, and on average each volume was just over a million.

 And this is probably the potential of Galaxy City games. Unless there are some lucky coincidences, it may be able to reach three to four million sales, but that will require a certain amount of luck.

As a participant, Tsukino Aya likes Metroid very much.

 Because she felt that the heroine Samus was very similar to herself.

 Will wear thick clothes or armor to wrap himself up tightly, and then take off the thick clothes and armor when no one is around to give himself a chance to relax.

  She even felt that this was a character created deliberately by President Takeyusei and was based on her.

 No, probably not. After all, it is impossible for the president to know what he looks like at home, and it is also impossible for him to know that he will take off most of his clothes to relax as soon as he returns home.

 It should be just a coincidence.

Hmm, coincidence.
