FC has now begun to enter a slow elimination period.

But this is only in Japan.

In the United States, FC has never logged in.

Especially on FC, there are actually many high-quality games that American players have never experienced.

At the beginning, in addition to the first party, other third-party manufacturers also slowly shifted their development direction to 16-bit game consoles.

Later, during the SFC upgrade process, in addition to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's own first-party games, only a small number of third-party games participated in the SFC upgrade, and most of the FC games did not appear on SFC.

Zhuyouxing has considered compatibility with game consoles, but that would increase the cost of the game console again, which is not particularly cost-effective at the moment, so it can only try to promote third parties to participate in game upgrades instead of backward compatibility.

It's just a pity that third-party manufacturers think this is not cost-effective. They can't make more money from games with upgraded graphics. After all, they have different ideas from Zhuyouxing, and Zhuyouxing does not force it.

This has resulted in many American players actually missing out on a lot of good quality FC games.

If these games are also released to the American market and the channels are opened at low prices, it will actually be a very cost-effective way.

Because these eight-bit console games have become increasingly difficult to sell in Japan, many third-party manufacturers have also accumulated some inventory. They originally planned to destroy them, but they also became interested when they heard about Zhuyouxing's plan.

Even if it can only be sold to the United States for five dollars, their average income is only two dollars for a box of cassettes, but the pie that Zhu Yuxing painted is enough to make them excited.

This is a good opportunity to expand the market again. If missed, it will affect their future game sales in the United States. It is better to recycle these inventory cartridges and throw them all to the United States, so that the United States can digest the inventory here.

Fortunately, Zhuyouxing has long ago required these manufacturers to use at least three languages ​​when making games, including general English. This has reduced a lot of unnecessary work, and Japanese cassettes can be directly released.

Go to the US market without having to do anything extra.

So, when September came, a cargo ship from Japan docked at the port on the west coast of the United States.

Containers marked with Youxing Electronic Entertainment were hoisted down one by one. Stored in them were tens of millions of boxes of game cartridges of various types, as well as more than five million FC red and white consoles.

The day before the port docked, Minoru Matsuhashi stayed up all night and came to the port to wait for unloading. She had to keep an eye on this matter personally, because this was likely to be an action that would change the pattern of video games in the United States, and she had to ensure that

All processes must be without any problems.

The workers unloaded the containers one by one, and then began to conduct customs inventory and confirmation. It took Matsukashi another four days of running up and down.

"Video games...cassettes, video game consoles? Such a large number?"

The U.S. customs employee looked at those containers in surprise, and then glanced at Minoru Matsuhashi who was standing by and staring intently at the unloading.

Minoru Matsuhashi turned around and nodded: "Yes, sir, these are goods ready for sale in the United States. All tariffs and documents have been handed in in advance."

After the official carefully inspected one or two containers, he finally nodded and confirmed the release.

There is nothing special about the product itself, but the quantity shipped this time was indeed quite large, which surprised them a bit.

The customs officer looked at Minoru Matsuhashi and had to say that women are inherently friendly, and men would let down their guard in informal situations.

After confirming that the product was correct, the official began to chat casually: "Speaking of which, my child is also playing this kind of game console, but he has been saying that it is not fun recently and complaining that the game console is boring.

With so many products, can they really be sold?”

Matsuhashi Minoru glanced at the official, showed a friendly smile, and then winked at a subordinate next to him.

"Sir, maybe you don't know much about the video game industry. In this industry, games are divided into good and bad. If your child says he is bored, then he probably bought some games that are not particularly good. These games

It will make children lose confidence in this kind of product, but I believe that after our product is released in the US market, it will definitely make children and you, sir, believe in the charm of video games again."

Minoru Matsuhashi's subordinates quickly brought over a cardboard box, which contained three FC game consoles and dozens of various FC cassettes.

"Sir, please accept our gift. This thing is not worth much. The cost of a box is probably less than a hundred dollars. It is not considered a bribe."

The customs officials had long been accustomed to this. After hearing the price, they were relieved and only slightly curious.

He casually took out a plastic-wrapped cassette from the box, with the words Super Mario Bros. 3 clearly written on it. However, these were refurbished and plastic-sealed, otherwise the previous cassette would only have Japanese characters.

He said with slight amazement: "The cost of a whole box is less than one hundred dollars? Is that an exaggeration? The game console I bought for my child already cost a full one hundred and thirty dollars, and a box of cassettes cost even more."

It’s ten dollars.”

Matsuhashi smiled and said: "Yes, you heard it right, the cost is indeed not high. This product is more like our attempt to open up the market, so you can safely take it and play with your children.

I believe they will like this new game console."

The customs official said to himself: "Youxing Electronic Entertainment? I remember it. It seems that your products are still worthy of trust."

After that, the large trucks had already loaded the containers and were heading out of the terminal. Matsuhashi Minoru said goodbye to the official and made an appointment to communicate with each other again if there was an opportunity in the future.

Being able to establish good relations with American officials is also a necessary step, and Matsuhashi is already very good at this.

Now she has several local councilor friends.

I even have a congressman friend.

In a few days, she will also package some FC game consoles and give them to those members of Congress.

They are also equivalent to living advertisements. Letting them promote in their respective jurisdictions is sometimes more useful than pure advertisements.

The customs officer took a look at the box left here. He thought about it and was going to take out a game console and play it himself.

He always said that this video game was very fun, and the news said that even adults were conquered by it. He felt that he should also follow the fashion.
