Surui Electronics, Vides, and many other manufacturers that have already planned to manufacture game consoles, including dozens of video game companies that have not been established for a long time, were dumbfounded when they saw this advertisement.
What is this?
Tamagotchi?
Egg?
In Japanese, Tamagotchi originally means egg, which is a noun mixed with egg and English watch.
However, people who don’t understand the meaning of this word will indeed be a little confused at first.
But the Tamagotchi thing really does look like an egg.
And looking at the advertising, it seems to be similar to eggs.
Eggs will hatch into small animals.
Then cultivate the small animals to give players a sense of accomplishment.
Raising games is also a very unfamiliar field in this world. They don’t even know that even raising small animals can be made as a game.
They never expected that Youxing Electronic Entertainment would suddenly develop such a thing without any warning.
In fact, not long ago, companies like Surui Electronics had learned some secrets through their own channels.
It is the Super Nintendo SFC console that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is ready to release.
But they really didn't expect that Tamagotchi would suddenly pop up before SFC was released.
This is not disclosed in any company's intelligence.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment has really done a good job in keeping this secret.
No... maybe it's not just the confidentiality that's been done well.
Also, these game companies have focused their attention on SFC consoles.
They believe that Youxing Electronic Entertainment will only specialize in the development of SFC game consoles in the short term and will not have time to develop other game consoles.
But I really didn’t expect that Youxing Electronic Entertainment would actually have time to make other game consoles.
However, anyone with a little knowledge about the electronic field can see that this Tamagotchi does not have much technical content at first glance.
It should be an idea that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment came up with while developing SFC, and then they took some time to make it and try to sell it.
But then again, will this thing really be popular?
Would anyone really buy it just to grow it?
They still can't understand what's so fun about developing this type of person.
If you have that time, wouldn't it be better to have a real cat, dog, or other small animal? Wouldn't that be more real?
They couldn't understand it, but they were really shocked.
As expected, they are worthy of being the pioneers in the field of electronic games. Youxing Electronic Entertainment always comes up with many fantastic ideas and new ways of playing games that they could not imagine.
At this moment, they don't know that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's customer service hotline has been overwhelmed, and they are currently working hard to recruit temporary customer service personnel to take care of Tamagotchi.
Perhaps shoveling shit is human nature.
Even in the field of video games, shoveling shit is still very attractive.
Being a shit shovel is the ‘destiny’ of many human beings (add a dog head)
So not long after the advertisements posted everywhere and the TV commercials were released, many children focused their attention on this little thing that looked cute and played equally cute.
Sakurai Kaoru is one of the girls who is instantly attracted to Tamagotchi's characteristics.
Her parents have never allowed her to raise any small animals.
Because her mother has symptoms of animal hair allergy, no matter how much she desires to raise small animals, she can only give up.
Of course, there are also hairless small animals, such as small turtles or snakes, but those are obviously not Sakurai Kaoru's cup of tea. Sakurai Kaoru would rather have a dog or a cat, or something else that is enough.
Cute little guy.
Turtles and snakes are obviously not in her category of cuteness.
Pets are not allowed at home, but my desire for small animals has never diminished.
In the past, she secretly raised small animals many times, leaving kittens and puppies outside to raise secretly.
But most of them will run away, making it difficult to stay.
So when Kaoru Sakurai saw Tamagotchi in a TV commercial, she immediately realized that this was the pet she wanted.
Don’t worry about animal hair making mom allergic.
And you can also choose more than fifty kinds of small animals to raise.
They can be raised from childhood to adulthood, and they can still have rich emotions. According to the advertisement, they can even get married.
If this thing is really as magical as it says, then this is what I want most!
So she immediately wrote down the phone number, then rushed to the landline at home and dialed that number.
However, her response was that the line was busy for a long time and she couldn't get in at all.
But when a person desires something very much, he will be quite patient.
If once doesn't work, then do it twice.
If it doesn't work twice, just do it three times until you can get through it.
Until Kaoru Sakurai's mother came home from shopping for groceries and Kaoru Sakurai's father came home from get off work, she stayed in front of the phone and kept making calls.
"Xun, what are you doing?"
When the father came back next time, he looked at his daughter in confusion, wondering why she stayed in front of the phone.
"Dad, I have thought about the gift I want!"
Kaoru Sakurai's eyes lit up when she saw her father coming back. She held the handset of the phone with one small hand and looked at her father with bright eyes.
"Gifts? But New Year and Christmas have already passed. According to our agreement, the next time we ask for gifts, we have to wait until at least the cherry blossom viewing time."
"Dad, only two thousand yen!"
"Huh? Two thousand yen... No, two thousand yen is not a lot."
"Please daddy, I promise you will be good all year long!"
Sakurai Kaoru's big eyes began to sparkle with tears.
As a father, the most disgusting thing is that his daughter looks like this with tears in her eyes.
He really couldn't stand it.
It is absolutely unacceptable to make your daughter so sad!
It's only two thousand yen...well, it's not impossible, it's still acceptable.
"Okay, you have to abide by your promise and be a good boy this year."
"Yeah!" Sakurai Kaoru nodded seriously.
"Tell me, what do you want? What kind of doll is it?"
"It's Tamagotchi!"
Tamagotchi?
Sounds a bit familiar...
I seem to hear this word a lot today... By the way, there is an advertisement for Tamagotchi on the tram.
That seems to be a video game that can be played on the hand?
Huh? Does my daughter suddenly like playing video games too?
This is really unexpected.
Although Tamagotchi's advertisements do not have any video game labels, there is a Yuxing Electronic Entertainment logo in the corner of the advertisement.
This company makes video games, so Tamagotchi must be a video game.
