Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 236 It turns out that so many people like it 3/10
Chapter 236 It turns out that so many people like it (310)
Because of the foundation of the first game, players have begun to accept games with female protagonists. Those who like them really like it. For the first time, women look very powerful in the game. Even if it is only in the game, it is not reality. But it also satisfies the tastes of some people.
Especially in the first part, you can see different forms of Samus at different playthrough times, and in the end you can even see the bikini version of Samus.
This can be regarded as satisfying the sense of achievement of LSPs to a certain extent, making them willing to try the challenge more times, and then through repeated challenges, they can more and more deeply appreciate the charm of the game itself.
It turns out that playing a game once is not enough. Some games are really worth studying and exploring several times and dozens of times.
The subsequent Speed Run Challenge added another wave of popularity to Metroid.
Then we came to the timeline of the second generation.
The name of the second-generation game simply did not have a number and was directly named Metroid: Return of Samus.
Just from the name alone, it is foreshadowed that our protagonist will continue to fight, and the return has the feeling of a hero fighting again, making people want to know more about what is going on in the game itself.
However, due to the performance limitations of GB's own game console, it is only equivalent to the performance of FC game console, so the gameplay itself is only more perfect and does not add much content.
But because GB itself does not need to consider making a color version, it saves some resources, so the story itself is lengthened to make each character's character arc more complete, and even the villain has some story introduction.
The scientific expedition team in the second-generation Samus is once again preparing to explore the planet SR388, the background planet of the first-generation Samus. They obviously want to investigate more content related to Metroid.
Obviously the Galactic Federation also wants to master the power of Metroid.
However, just after entering the planet SR388, the expedition team lost contact.
Due to the experience of successfully defeating interstellar pirates last time, the Galactic Federation once again hired Samus Alain, a female bounty hunter, to investigate SR388.
Of course there is another foreshadowing in this, that is, the birdmen, as an ancient race, are also secretly promoting the designation of Samus as the main operator of the mission.
This is not a casual addition, but is intended to pave the way for the future. It is also what makes players most curious. They are curious about why the ancient race of birdmen takes special care of Samus.
In the second part, this secret was completely revealed.
It turns out that Samus was once raised by the Birdmen. She can be regarded as the spokesperson of the Birdmen to a certain extent, and she can also use some of the ancient powers passed down by the Birdmen.
So except for Samus, no one can take on the tasks related to Metroid.
In Samus Returns, the protagonist comes to the planet SR388 and begins to rescue the scientific expedition team.
This time players also know for the first time that the form of Metroid is not single, but diverse, which can better demonstrate the power of Metroid itself.
There are small insects, plankton and other creatures, to larger insect-like creatures, which are very diverse, and each type of Metroid also has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you attack the weaknesses carefully, Metroid can be solved faster, which adds some extra fun to the game itself.
Adventuring all the way to the end, Samus eliminated the final BOSS, Queen Metroid, and a small Metroid cub appeared and came to Samus' side.
At that time, Samus wanted to directly eliminate this last hidden danger.
But this Metroid was different. He seemed very affectionate when he came to Samus, and seemed to treat Samus as his mother.
This may be because Samus himself was raised by the birdmen. After all, Metroid was once a product of the birdmen. It is normal for the Metroid cub to feel close to Samus.
At this time, Samus also felt compassion, and finally gave up on killing the last Metroid cub, preparing to take it with him and leave.
But at this moment the story suddenly changed again.
It turns out that the space pirates were not completely eliminated. A mechanical creature that looked like a pterosaur, a space pirate named Proteus Ridley, suddenly appeared and took the Metroid cub away from Samus, and wanted to Kill Samus.
This sudden change shocked the players who experienced it for the first time, but they were also very pleasantly surprised.
This ups and downs of the storyline made them unable to stop, so they once again plunged into the battle with Lidley.
Of course, Lidley was still very powerful at first. In the end, he relied on the unique energy-absorbing ability of Metroid cubs to absorb most of the energy from Lidley's body, and then fed it back to Samus, allowing him to The power gap between the two sides gradually evened out, until Samus could crush Lidley, and finally succeeded in destroying Lidley himself.
Samus finally ended his mission and left the planet SR388 with the remaining Metroid cubs, preparing to return to the Galactic Federation to resume his life.
But at the end, another animation appeared. In the animation, something called the We have to wait for the next game to be announced.
At the same time, after Samus returns to the Galactic Federation, what he will do with the Metroid cub he brings back is also a suspense that countless players who have become addicted to the Metroid world are eager to know.
However, more than a year has passed since the GB version of Metroid: Samus Returns was released, and they have not waited for a new Metroid game.
In the past, series of games such as Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy would have a new product every half a year to a year on average.
Kimitrod has made players wait for more than a year. They already had a little resentment, so they began to post frantically asking for the game to be released.
They don’t ask for the game to be groundbreaking, as long as the story is told well.
In fact, not only on the website, but now in the letters that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Corporation receives every day, there are at least two or three players requesting a sequel to Metroid.
However, Zhu Youxing was indeed a little too busy before and couldn't take care of it. He didn't think of it until he saw this post now.
Looking at the post, Zhu Youxing murmured to himself: "So Metroid is so popular? This is a bit surprising. Even though it was very popular in the previous life, it didn't have a big breakthrough in sales. , I thought there weren’t many people interested.”
