88 Two new challengers

1994, early morning on January 11th

The employees of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Development Department came to work on the first day of work in a very good mood.

In addition to some necessary daily customer service staff and sales staff, game console developers and game developers all took a long holiday during the New Year period.

They felt very happy at work when they just came back. Now a lot of inspiration suddenly burst out of their brains, and they were very motivated.

This is a very dynamic young company, and even under the high-pressure competition from Surui Electronics, it does not seem to have much impact on the status of these game production employees.

Internally, several departments have quietly begun work on the Super Nintendo console.

Of course, the red and white machines will not give up easily, and the two machines will go hand in hand in the future.

Among them, the price of red and white consoles will be reduced, because the cost is not high in the first place. Now Zhuyouxing hopes to expand the group of game players. Naturally, game consoles 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 Nintendo is another option.

The original game will have more or less certain bonuses when logged into the Super Nintendo, and the graphics will be better.

In particular, top games such as Super Mario 3 and The Legend of Zelda will undergo special image quality enhancements to make the graphics even better.

But this is a big move to prepare for some unexpected events at any time.

Until something unexpected happens, Super Ren will not be made public for the time being.

But just a few days after the New Year, the accident really happened.

But this surprise did not come from Surui Electronics.

They are two different companies.

They announced their game consoles almost simultaneously after the New Year, and they all claimed that they had very powerful and fun games.

A company called Verdes announced the Constellation Project game console: Aries. The game console will be run by a 16-bit chip. The published game lineup looks quite good, and it also confidently claims that each game will be produced at least three times.

More than 1 month, guaranteed quality and quantity.

This company originally had an electronic entertainment division, which was similar to the pachinko, dance machines, karaoke machines and other products that Kuppongi used to produce.

This business unit was directly converted into the Electronic Game Business Department, focusing entirely on electronic games.

There is also a large film and television entertainment group called Jinping Entertainment. They have made a high-profile announcement that they will develop exclusive games using the IP of their own film, television, drama and animation to bring a new sensory experience to fans who like animation, film and television.

There is also a game console developed by them, called Future Star.

The name is very similar to Gamestar of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. It is obviously a popular product, and it is still popular.

The entire game console looks like a CD player and uses a disc carrier. This carrier will greatly reduce the production cost of the hardware part of the game. The game console can also be reduced to the same 7,000 yen as the red and white console, and

It also has 16-bit higher performance.

To this end, they have also begun to spend heavily on external recruitment of electronic engineering developers and programmers, and can even directly sign lifetime employment contracts.

For a time, these two industries in Japanese society instantly became popular.

Many unemployed young people also seem to see new hope.

For a time, the situation in the field of electronic games has developed from the two heroes coexisting in the past to the current four-nation struggle for hegemony. Comparing it a little bit, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment seems to have a somewhat unstable foundation.

After all, this is a new company, and its financial resources and manpower seem to be inferior to those of established companies in these three different fields.

But no matter how you look at it, these two companies seem to be here purely to make money.

They saw the huge market size of red and white machines.

In less than a year, sales exceeded one million, and that was just a month ago.

Now it has reached at least 1.1 million.

Of course, the actual sales figure has actually reached 1.4 million.

During Christmas and New Year, people’s desire to buy increases, especially when buying things for their children. They are no longer stingy and are willing to spend money to buy goods for their children.

Famicom, the most fashionable thing at the moment, has naturally become the best choice.

According to statistics, sales exceeded 100,000 on Christmas Day alone. This is the first time that sales of a game console have reached 100,000 on that day, which is very scary.

Then on December 30, the day before the New Year, the sales data once again exceeded 100,000.

Now the Famicom has completely entered a very fast lane.

However, the PN game console also followed closely behind. Thanks to the previous vigorous publicity, it has indeed achieved very good results. Now the daily sales can reach close to 10,000, and the crowd is also expanding.

Of course, the games are still as average as ever. Now the PN game console seems to be completely trying to expand the user base as much as possible.

Regarding the quality of the game, it’s not that they don’t want to do it well, it’s that the NES is the first priority. If they want to reach the same standards as the NES, they will directly choose to log in to the NES, because it is obviously more profitable there.

As long as the game meets the standards of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, it can easily exceed 100,000 sales by logging on to the Famicom. Even the cheapest 3,000 yen box of cassettes can now easily earn more than 100 million.

And if you choose to log in to different platforms at the same time, your income will drop by at least tens of millions in an instant.

Only then would a fool choose to log the game onto PN or other game consoles.

Unless it is their own game development team, Surui Electronics currently only has one such team.

During this process, the NES game lineup has also exceeded 80, and the number of groups joining the NES lineup has also reached 30. There are already six corporate-level companies, and the number of individual game production groups has reached 24.

These thirty game companies can now have a standard-compliant game on the Famicom every two to three months on average. While they are making a lot of money, the advantages of the Famicom continue to expand crazily.

Surui Electronics can only wait and catch up now.

Zhu Youxing looked at the latest news. They were ready to buy and study the game consoles from two new companies, and this would also be a brand new war in the new year.

Facing the new competitors, I, the man who guards the Great Wall, must do something.

So Zhu Youxing picked up the intercom phone.

"Matsuqiao, help me call the leader of the first game development team over."

Ishi Yuancang, one of the original fifty-odd employees, has now become the leader of the first development team, responsible for a long-term project, Dragon Quest 2.

So far, Dragon Quest 2 has been in game development for more than seven months.

The production of a game based on Famicom requires more than seven months, which is quite long, and can even be said to be the longest at the moment.

The Dragon Quest 2 game has also been polished over and over again. In fact, it is almost impossible to find any faults now.

"President, look for me."

Takeyusei nodded: "Ishigaki-san, get ready, I'm going to release Dragon Quest 2."

Ishigaki immediately became energetic after hearing Takeyusei's words.

Finally...it's finally released!

They put so much effort into making this game, and they can finally show off their results to outsiders!
