Chapter 95 The chance is for you
The reporters outside the hotel were confused when they heard the public broadcast sound coming from the hotel speakers. They hadn't even entered yet, so why did it start? Who can see it if we don't broadcast it?
Liu Zhiyuan didn't expect these reporters at all. This era is not yet the era of developed Internet in later generations. You can know what happens thousands of kilometers away through the Internet at the next moment.
Relying on reporters to spread the news is too slow, and among these reporters there must be people from Nintendo. He has to rely on players to promote it independently. Bustling areas in major foreign cities are also being broadcast simultaneously on large screens at this time.
Normal publicity must be one step after another, always maintaining popularity, but that would be too disrespectful to Hiroshi Yamauchi and Minoru Arakawa. Didn't the previous two times prove it?
Super Mario 3 may be at a disadvantage for a while, but it will soon catch up.
He wants to knock down Super Mario 3 directly with lightning speed, so that Hiroshi Yamauchi will panic and his dissatisfied third parties will dare to rebel.
Even if Super Mario 3 catches up again in the future, it has nothing to do with him. His goal is no longer Super Mario 3, but the handheld! It is GB!
"I have created a very good opportunity for you, Norio Ohga, seize it."
Liu Zhiyuan thought wildly for a while. The eight booths surrounding the hotel had been uncovered. Originally, the reporters and the crowd of onlookers didn't know what was covered.
After this revelation, everyone went crazy again, and they wanted to rush to the booth frantically.
Each booth has a huge display screen, and what is shown on the display screen is the game screen of each race. The actors from before are now standing on the booth of the corresponding race. They are surrounded by Might and Magic figures, big ones
It is as tall as a person and as big as a small hand.
Even though Hiroshi Yamauchi was far away from the screen, he could still see the game screen clearly, and his breathing was a little short.
"Can FC do this?"
Arakawa Minoru's expression was very ugly. Is this exquisite picture really a game? Are you sure it's not an animation?
"It can't be done."
Yamauchi Hiroshi took a few deep breaths, left a few words and turned around to leave.
"Let all the Nintendo managers come back for a meeting after watching Sega's press conference."
He felt the crisis. This time it was no longer Super Mario's problem. If it couldn't be handled well, Nintendo might end there.
Liu Zhiyuan didn't know that Hiroshi Yamauchi was coming. At this time, he was going back and forth to various booths with Nakayama Hayao and several important people from Sega.
"How many arms are there in the Castle of Heroes of Might and Magic? Who can answer this question? Prize..."
After Liu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he looked at the figures on the booth and picked up an angel figure.
"The prize is an angel."
coax...
There was chaos down there, a group of people shouted, "I know, Liu Zhiyuan has already released information about the various races of Might and Magic."
"Sir, please come to the stage."
The person selected by Liu Zhiyuan squeezed through the crowd to the platform with excitement on his face.
"President Liu, there are a total of 7 arms in the castle."
"Congratulations, you answered correctly. This angel is yours."
The player shouted excitedly, took the angel and stepped off the stage.
"Friend, come up here."
The event went very smoothly, and the enthusiasm of the players was very high under Liu Zhiyuan's arousal. This method of publicity was much stronger than that of reporters.
In the game exhibitions of later generations, this kind of interaction between manufacturers and players was a basic link, but does it still exist in this era?
"Fake! Why is the press conference in Japan! I also want that Cyclops. Not only do I know how many arms there are in the stronghold, I can also tell his name in detail. I can also..."
"Okay, George, stop complaining, I still want that fucking wood elf."
Scenes like this are common abroad. These players are almost jealous of those Japanese players. They can only watch it through the big screens on the streets, but those people can go on stage to answer some mentally retarded questions and win prizes.
The sky is getting a little dark. From the morning to now, the crowd of people watching this press conference has not only not decreased, but has increased. The Japanese Metropolitan Police Department has sent people over to maintain order.
Liu Zhiyuan took a look at the situation at the booth and found that all the figures had been delivered, so let's have a successful ending.
He walked to the front of the hotel and faced the platform in the square.
"Dear friends present, please maintain order. Next, I will introduce to you the game Might and Magic."
Because a loudspeaker was used, people around the hotel could hear it, but people still wanted to look at Liu Zhiyuan and say, and soon the small square in front of the hotel was filled with people.
"There may still be many people thinking about what kind of game Heroes of Might and Magic is. Now I can tell you that this is a new type of game that has never been seen before."
"I call it SLG, Sition Game, a strategy game. This is a game that relies on the mind. It does not require you to have powerful operations or reactions, as long as you think enough and comprehensively."
Hearing that it was a new type, the crowd below went crazy. Liu Zhiyuan did not stop it. It took a long time for the crowd to gradually calm down.
"This game has no fixed gameplay. Please use your ideas freely. Every idea you have will affect the subsequent progress of the game."
Liu Zhiyuan introduced the core gameplay of Might and Magic in an eloquent manner, and then said.
"That's it for the game part. I would like to ask our President Zhongshan to explain to you the world's most powerful console, the Sega Xeon drive."
Nakayama Hayao is very satisfied with Liu Zhiyuan's statement that the world's most powerful host is the most powerful, and he also believes that the Xeon drive is the world's most powerful now.
"Hello friends from all walks of life."
Nakayama Hayao's words are much more official.
"The Xeon drive is also called SEGA MEGA DRIVE. You can call it Sega Xeon drive or MD. This is a true 16-bit home console."
As he spoke, someone brought up a small TV connected to the MD.
"Everyone looks at this game screen. This is a level that FC will never be able to achieve."
"Kaka..."
The sound of shutters was heard constantly, and the dark sky was illuminated by the camera's flash.
Next are the parameters of some consoles. Players don't care about these issues, but they only bother the reporters. They stand with pens and quickly record the data, and some simply squat down and put the paper on the ground.
After introducing the MD, Hayao Nakayama handed the microphone to Liu Zhiyuan. There were some things he was not comfortable saying.
Liu Zhiyuan took the microphone and looked at the crowd below and said with a smile.
"Friends, MD will be released in October this year. In order to ensure that you can grab this landmark game console as soon as possible and play Might and Magic, a cross-generational game."
"I would like to remind you, save your money, MD is priced at US$600! Heroes of Might and Magic is priced at US$120!"
Hearing this price, there was an instant silence. This is a terrifying price. US$600 is three times that of FC, and US$120 for a game cartridge is unprecedented.
However, this is what they should be worth, isn’t it?
