Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 88 two new challengers
Chapter 88 Two new challengers
1994, early morning on January 11
The employees of Youxing Electronic Entertainment Development Department came to work on the first day in a good mood.
In addition to some necessary daily customer service staff and sales staff, the game console developers and game developers have taken a long holiday during the New Year.
They just came back and felt very happy at work, and now they suddenly burst out with a lot of inspiration, and they are very motivated.
This is a very dynamic young company, and even under the high-pressure competition of Suri Electronics, it does not seem to have much impact on the status of these game production employees.
Internally, several divisions have quietly begun work on the Super Nintendo console.
Of course, the red and white machines will not give up easily. In the future, the two machines will go hand in hand.
Among them, the price of red and white machines will be reduced, because the original cost is not high. Now Zhuyouxing hopes to expand the group of game players. Naturally, game machines should not be too expensive, otherwise many natural players will be shut out. .
Then, if you want to have a better gaming experience, then Super Ren is another option.
The original game will have more or less certain bonuses when it is logged on to the super-role, and the picture performance will be better.
Especially for top games such as Super Mario 3 and The Legend of Zelda, they will also be enhanced with special image quality to make the picture better.
But this is a big move, and it is a preparation for some unexpected events at any time.
Until there is no accident, Chao Ren will be temporarily closed to the public.
And just a few days after the New Year, the accident really happened.
But this accident did not come from Surui Electronics.
but two different companies.
They announced their game consoles almost at the same time after the New Year, and they all claimed that they had very powerful and fun games.
A company called Vaders announced the Constellation Project game console: Aries, which will run on 16-bit chips. The public game lineup looks pretty good, and it confidently claims that each game will be made at least three. More than a month, the quality and quantity are guaranteed.
This company already has a division for electronic entertainment, which is similar to the pachinko, dance machine karaoke machine and other products produced by Kuppongi in the past.
This business unit was directly converted into a video game business unit, focusing entirely on video games.
There is also a large-scale film and television entertainment group called Jinping Entertainment. They announced in a high-profile manner that they will use their own IP for film and television dramas and animations to develop exclusive games, bringing a new sensory experience to fans who like animation, film and television.
There is also a game console developed by their home, called Future Star, futurestar
The name is very similar to the game star of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. It is obviously a hit, and it is still hard.
The appearance of the entire game console is like a CD player, and a CD-ROM carrier is used. This carrier will greatly reduce the production cost of the hardware part of the game. It can also have 16-bit higher performance.
To this end, they also began to recruit electronic engineering developers and programmers to the outside world, and even signed a lifetime employment contract directly.
For a time, these two industries in Japanese society have instantly become a fragrant pastry.
Many unemployed young people also seem to see new hope.
The situation in the field of video games has suddenly developed from the previous two heroes to the current Four Kingdoms hegemony. In this way, a little comparison, on the contrary, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment seems to have a somewhat unstable foundation.
After all, this is an emerging company, and it seems that it is not as good as the established companies in these three different fields in terms of financial resources and human resources.
But no matter how you look at these two companies, it seems that they are purely trying to make money.
They saw the huge market size of red and white machines.
It has already sold more than one million in less than a year, and that is the data from a month ago.
has now reached at least 1.1 million.
Of course, the real sales figures have actually reached 1.4 million.
At Christmas and New Years, people’s desire to buy increases, especially when it comes to buying things for children, they are no longer stingy, and are willing to pay for goods for children.
The red and white machine, the most fashionable thing at the moment, has naturally become the best choice.
According to statistics, the sales on Christmas Day alone exceeded 100,000. This is the first time that the sales of game consoles can reach 100,000 on that day, which is very scary.
Then on December 30th, the day before the new year, the sales data once again exceeded 100,000.
Now the red and white machine has completely entered the very fast lane.
However, PN game consoles followed closely. Thanks to the previous vigorous publicity, it did have a good effect. Now the daily sales can reach close to 10,000, and the crowd is constantly expanding.
Of course, the game is still the same as before. Now the PN game console seems to want to expand the crowd base as much as possible first.
The quality of the game is not because they don't want to do it well, but because the red and white machines are the first, and if they want to reach the same standard as the red and white machines, they will directly choose to log in on the red and white machines, because it is obviously more profitable.
As long as the game reaches the mark of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, you can easily break through 100,000 sales by logging on to the red and white machine. Even the cheapest 3,000 yen cassette can easily earn more than 100 million.
And if you choose to log on to different platforms at the same time, it will instantly drop at least tens of millions of income.
Such fools will choose to log the game to PN or other game consoles.
Unless it is their own game development team, Surui Electronics has only one such team now.
During this process, the game lineup of red and white machines has also broken through to 80, and the number of groups joining the lineup of red and white machines has also reached 30. There are already six at the company level, and the number of individual game production groups has reached 24.
These 30 game companies now have an average of two or three months to have a game that meets the standard landing on the red and white machines. While they are making a lot of money, the advantages of the red and white machines continue to expand wildly.
Suri Electronics is still greedy and catching up.
Zhu Yuxing looked at the latest news, the game consoles from two new companies are ready to buy and study, and this will also be a new war in the new year.
In the face of new competitors, the person who guards the Great Wall must have something to do.
So Zhu Yuxing picked up the intercom.
"Songqiao, help me call the leader of the first game development team."
Shi Yuancang, one of the original fifty-odd employees, has now become the leader of the first development team, dedicated to a long-term project, Dragon Quest 2.
Up to now, the game development of Dragon Quest 2 has been over seven months.
The production of games based on red and white machines took more than seven months to make, which is quite a long time, and it can even be said to be the longest at present.
And the polishing of the Dragon Quest 2 game is also over and over again, in fact, almost no faults can be picked up by now.
"President, look for me."
Take Yuxing nodded: "Ishigaki-san, get ready, I'm going to release Dragon Quest 2."
Ishigaki's spirit instantly came to him when he heard Take Yusei's words.
Finally…Finally about to be released!
They put so much effort into making this game that they can finally show off their work to outsiders!
