After settling the Pokémon-related matters, the handheld GB finally announced the price, which is the same price as SFC, 8,000 yen.
This price is far lower than many people expected.
In their imagination, GB would cost at least 10,000 yen, and 8,000 yen really surprised them.
Surui Electronics also quickly adjusted its strategy and chose to announce the price of its own game console the day after gb announced the price, which was also 8,000 yen.
Surui Electronics' game consoles will have color graphics and backlit screens. Even at night, without turning on the lights, you can play directly without any obstacles.
The release date of gb has also been set in August, and some pre-heating activities for the Pokémon game have already been arranged.
For example, you can get limited edition Pokémon dolls in some places.
This was the first to be welcomed by many girls.
Especially cute creatures like Pikachu and Charmander have become the most popular gifts.
If a boy is lucky enough to get these limited edition dolls and give them to the girl he likes, legend has it that the success rate of his confession will be increased.
Of course this is all bullshit and just a marketing attempt, but it works.
Surui Electronics was not very vigilant about this, because they just felt that Youxing Electronic Entertainment was just doing some routine publicity work, and they didn't feel much of a threat just by looking at the images of those Pokémon.
Maybe you really think that these creatures are so cute that they are harmless to humans and animals, and so harmless that they cannot be competitive.
And this is exactly what Zhu Youxing wants. He really doesn't want Su Rui Electronics to be alert too early.
On the day when gb was released, as expected, all gb stores were sold out on the same day, and not a single one was left.
This is scarier than when SFC was sold at the time.
Originally, we had 300,000 units in stock on the first day, but it was still not enough. Later, we urgently allocated inventory and distributed all the millions of gb units that were originally planned to be sold out within a week to different retailers, and then continued to sell them.
Sale.
After a week passed, GB's method broke the sales record of all previous game consoles, reaching the level of breaking 700,000 in the first week. Basically, 100,000 units were sold in one day, which was very scary.
Some players are the kind of people who do not yet own game consoles such as the Famicom, but they are willing to buy this game console for its portability. Most of them are not children, but social animals who commute early and come back late every day.
On weekdays, they commute on the tram every day with almost nothing to do. Apart from taking a nap in the tram, they can only read newspapers and some regularly sent text message news on their mobile phones when they are bored.
The gb handheld device saved them, giving them a brand new choice during commuting.
After all, Suri Electronics is a step too late, even though players know that Suri Electronics' handheld devices will have better graphics and look more attractive.
But who let gb be released first?
And many of the first games, such as the handheld version of Super Mario, Metroid: Return of Samus (just don’t write 2)
These two games are the most popular, with first-week sales of 500,000 and 350,000 respectively.
Players just regret that there is no game like Dragon Quest in the launch game. If there was, they would definitely buy more. Dragon Quest is far more popular than Metroid.
There is another launch game, the handheld version of Super Baseball Series, which is basically a replica of the same game on the Famicom. It adds some new gameplay based on the original game to make the game look more exciting.
Complete and more attractive.
After the last baseball incident, some players who believed the slander and resisted the game Super Baseball Series now have a mentality of atonement and are willing to spend money to buy Super Baseball Series game cartridges. As for whether they will go to Super Baseball Series.
Play, that's no longer important.
gb's initial results were quite good, which also boosted the confidence of the Youxing Electronics Entertainment engineering development team, and they immediately started working non-stop on the development of new handheld consoles and new consoles.
The tasks given to them by Zhuyouxing are still very heavy. At the same time, because of the sufficient incentive policy, they are very motivated and seem to not feel tired at all.
Everything was proceeding step by step, and then the time quickly came to the time when Surui Electronics would release the handheld console, which was September.
The handheld console released by Surui Electronics is called hm1.
The full name in English is happy man.
This name is somewhat similar to gb’s game boy.
A happy man, a game boy, obviously Surui Electronics really wants to set a benchmark.
At the same time, as the first game, there is a replica version of its Sun Knight game console, which is also similar to the Super Baseball Series replica, adding some gameplay and content.
Then there is a handheld racing game, a scrolling shooting game linked to the well-known domestic IP Koshien Superman. The gameplay is that Koshien Superman flies in the sky and launches attack waves, defeating the enemies in front one by one. It is roughly equivalent to a horizontal version of Thunderbolt.
, this is considered a small initiative.
This time, the games produced by Surui Electronics really have some characteristics, and players do not reject such games, so the sales results in the first week were also good.
Of course, it just looked good to them, with sales of 50,000 in the first week.
This sales volume is much better than the previous PN game console. It seems that players have finally recognized the performance of PN game console.
Then, Surui Electronics released a new role-playing series game on SFC: Final Fantasy.
The game that Zhu Youxing has always wanted to develop has finally come to an end.
It was originally expected to take one year to develop, but it was basically completed in more than half a year.
The main reason is that the current group of programmers and the creativity I have provided are really powerful, so that Zhuyouxing can no longer find any faults in the end, so it can be sold directly, which can suppress the arrogance of Surui Electronics and make it feel better.
The good Suri Electronics was once again brought back to its original shape.
This time's Final Fantasy changed the previous single formula of the hero rescuing the princess, and instead made it into a story with a little bit of tragedy.
At the same time, the ability of career transfer and promotion has been added. After being promoted to a new career, you will obtain new enhanced attributes and skills, which will increase your combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
Of course, the best thing is the story itself.
This time the story is no longer a happy ending, but a story with a little bit of an open ending.
The warriors traveled back in time two thousand years ago to save the world, and then the enemy traveled back two thousand years in the future to destroy the world, and then let time fall into a two-thousand-year cycle of reincarnation forever and never be able to escape, so that the evil would last forever.
In the end, the four warriors of light worked together to destroy the timeline and get time back on track. However, the future was full of uncertainty, making people full of expectations.
