Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 122 Aya Tsukino's Coincidence (67)

In fact, if it was made normally according to the games of the previous life, Dragon Quest 3 should have been the first game in the world where the main character is female.

The hero Lot of Dragon Quest 3 itself is gender-selectable in previous games.

However, after the revision, Zhu Yuxing deleted the option to modify the gender.

In fact, he just wanted to hand Metroid the crown of the video game's first female main character again.

And it's clear that Metroid's own character is more obvious than that of Dragon Quest, and it's more appropriate for Samus to be the first manipulative female main character in a video game.

On the day that Metroid was officially released, there were more people queuing to buy it than expected, perhaps because of the final revision of the game by Yinan Games.

In the first five days of the release, the trial time of the game has also been extended, and this time, players can finally fully experience the fun of Metroid in advance.

The people who are lining up to buy now are almost all people who are very interested in the game itself.

This time, in order to avoid the last fight, some major sales locations even hired a few temporary security guards to maintain order.

This time, the people in line were indeed a lot more honest, and there was no chaos like the last time.

Customers buy games in an orderly manner, and then those who buy them happily take the game home and start the official game.

According to the normal rules, it will take at least a day for these people to really play the ending of Metrod.

At that time, there should be another wave of enthusiasm.

And it just so happens that tomorrow is the day the first video game show will be broadcast.

To this end, Zhu Yuxing also revealed Metroid's secret to the employees of the TV station in advance, so that they can plan the program in advance.

This made those TV staff quite depressed.

This is a spoiler for being passively accepted.

But there's nothing they can do, it's their job.

At the same time, various promotional materials were also arranged.

One day after the official release of Metroid, Metroid, who was previously advertised on billboards, subways, and TV stations, also took off her helmet, revealing her real face.

It was a sharp-eyed, valiant blond woman.

In the Nihon Keizai Shimbun newspaper's video game business section of the day, Sams' female image also occupied the entire page.

The world's first female video game hero, a manipulable female hero!
Independent, powerful, handsome and dazzling female hero!
Tian Chong, who was in the newspaper office, looked at the page he edited with satisfaction.

At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart.

The image of this Samus is really beautiful.

That kind of heroic feeling, coupled with her own female identity, fully reflects the strong side of women.

Although the status of women in Japan is very low, this does not prevent people from yearning for the image of such a strong woman.

what is this?This is proper political correctness.

Those who saw the ad were also staring.

Almost every ad emphasizes that this is the world's first video game heroine, and has a very special symbolic meaning.

The strongest bounty hunter in the universe is a woman, which means that women also have their own powerful side, right?

Before that, people who were not interested in Metroid immediately decided to buy it.

Not to mention whether to play or not, the unique significance of this game alone is worth buying a box.

This also resulted in more players buying on the second and third days than on the first.

The publicity effect this time was excellent, and some people even started to praise Zhu Yuxing.

I think he is a person who has the courage to make innovations and breakthroughs, and he is also a person who has the courage to fight against tradition.

The first episode of TV TOKYO's video game show was also very showy.

The host plays Metroid in front of the TV with an employee of Yuxing's publicity team.

Bring Metroid's most charismatic side to the audience.

At the same time, the employee still uses the fastest speed to clear the level, so that people can see Sams in a bikini.

Then the publicity team employee explained in front of the camera how the game's ending was triggered.

It wasn't until now that people finally realized that different clearance durations would affect the ending.

If you're a skilled enough player, you can actually see a bikini Sams in person.

Whoops, my LSP soul had to explode, and I had to clear the level quickly once I said anything.

Even if this pixel-like picture is actually not very good-looking, that kind of curiosity still makes many non-audience players take the initiative to contact this game.

And this also allows the charm of Galaxy City games to be carried forward.

Facing the new tricks that Youxing has promoted many times, Suri Electronics and other companies seem to have long since calmed down.

No calm, no, they can't surpass them anyway, so they can only look up.

But that doesn't mean they'll give up the chase.

Not long after that, several game companies immediately announced that they would develop a heroine game to fully demonstrate the beauty of strong women.

In the real society, women can't really achieve equal rights, so it's better to show it in the game.

The popularity of the heroine Samus lasted for about half a month before the popularity slowly subsided, and the sales data of Metrod in the first week were also counted.

The sales volume in the first week was 23.

At present, it is a high-quality game that belongs to the upstream.

Now a game on the red and white machine that is above the passing line can sell around 15 to [-] in the first week.

Premium games can hover around 15 to 20.

23 in the first week is already a class of high-quality games.

However, some of this should also be the bonus of the first heroine, once again attracting many non-audience player groups.

Zhu Yuxing is quite satisfied with this result.

The sales volume of Metroid in his previous life was in the millions, and on average, each of them was just in the early [-]s.

And this is probably the potential of Galaxy City games. Unless there are some chances and coincidences, it may reach 400 million sales, but that requires a certain amount of luck.

As a participant, Aya Tsukino likes Metrod very much.

Because she felt that Samus, the heroine, was very similar to herself.

They will wear thick clothes or armor to wrap themselves tightly, and then take off the heavy clothes and armor when no one is there, so that they can have a chance to relax.

She even felt that this might be a character created by President Take Yuxing on purpose, and it was made based on her.

No, it shouldn't. After all, it's impossible for the president to know what he looks like at home, and it's impossible for him to know that he will take off most of his clothes to relax as soon as he gets home.

Should just be a coincidence.

Well, coincidence.
