Chapter 80 Suri Electronics' Strong Counterattack

In China, the game magazines sold quite well at the beginning, and it became a trend for a while, but he is not quite sure how it sold in Japan.

However, Zhu Youxing vaguely remembers that after the rise of Japanese games in the 80s, game guide books became the treasures of many people.

Some popular games will also have separate game guide books.

If you ask him what is the best-selling game guide book, he can’t remember clearly, but he does remember that one of his favorite games, Final Fantasy 7, has sold more than 300 million copies, and the game guide book has also sold There are millions of copies.

Therefore, this may also be a good business, and it may indeed be one of the means to increase the stickiness of gamers.

A magazine that can specifically promote games, and at least now with the crazy output of Zhu Yuxing, it seems that game magazines really have potential.

"Senior game fans will be keen to collect everything about the game, including behind-the-scenes stories, including the latest news about the game, etc., so don't worry about no one watching, so please provide the latest news to Haruhi as much as possible. Society, Kasuga Society will do its best to help any third party who joins Youxing Electronic Entertainment, help you promote, make more money, and be welcomed by more people."

At this time, many people are already a little excited, obviously this sounds quite reliable.

At the same time, some people still remember the key words in Zhuyouxing's words, such as Shimura Sanye.

"President Zhuyou, you seem to have said that the game magazine is just one of the expansion promotion plans?"

"Yes, in addition to this, there are other promotion channels, that is, the Internet, but this can only be ranked behind game magazines for the time being, but in the future, this channel will definitely be the top priority."

Game magazines will be obsolete sooner or later, but the Internet is sure to dominate the future.

Now it is also equivalent to occupying the pit early, first to build a special game recommendation channel when the Internet is on the rise, and to do things better in the future.

It is not easy to build such a promotion platform by yourself, because the game lineup is so small, but if there are more people pulling it, it will be different.

Zhu Yuxing This is another act of pulling people's heads to fill the scene.

the Internet?
Oh, that one really can only be placed at the next level.

The Internet is just emerging at this time.

It hasn't become fully established, so they don't take it too seriously.

"In the future, the monthly magazine will mainly focus on the game's strategy, behind-the-scenes stories, and some secret exclusive gossip, and I plan to open up a new platform on the Internet, mainly to announce some of the latest game demo images, so that people can feel more intuitively The screen and gameplay of the game, and there will be some video interviews in the future, our company has now established a website on this page, and we are waiting for you to provide useful information and materials.”

It is always good to have a new publicity channel. It is hard to say what the mentality of the fifteen individual groups is, but the representatives of the two companies, Kuppongi and Wada, are quite interested.

When the meeting was over, representatives of the two companies also deliberately stayed alone and told Daigo Ikeda about the company's recent game development progress and 'grape news'.

In the next one to two months, the magazine will plan to publish the first issue, and the specific time will be arranged at the moment when the red and white machines just break through to one million sales.

This is also a symbol and celebration. At the same time, in order to celebrate the sales of millions of red and white machines, Zhu Yuxing also made very special preparations for this.

That's the first generation of The Legend of Zelda.

Before that, he made Dragon Quest, the first role-playing game.

This didn't get a good response at first.

The main reason is that not many people in this world can play it patiently at first, and they are more attracted by games that are more likely to bring sensory stimulation.

However, with time, players can slowly sink their hearts and begin to experience the richer core of the game, and the shining points of Dragon Quest begin to show slowly.

In addition to these, Zhuyou Xingmo has changed the gameplay of Dragon Quest 1, adding richer content without major changes to the story, and making it easier for players to immerse themselves in it.

Otherwise, with the somewhat bad gameplay of the first generation, it is estimated that it will be more difficult to immerse players in it.

While Dragon Quest 1 allows players to experience the charm of role-playing, this time Take Yusei intends to let them experience another role-playing game.

The originator of action role-playing games, The Legend of Zelda.

This type of game can also be called a real-time role-playing game, that is, the monsters are no longer fought through the turn-based method of you attack me and I attack you, but interact with you in real time, and you need to respond immediately. , otherwise the monsters will defeat you, adding to the urgency of the game.

Or you can think of it as a Contra that can be upgraded to play equipment and grow, but The Legend of Zelda is not a scroll-based way of playing.

Moreover, in addition to these, The Legend of Zelda has also added decryption gameplay, allowing players to find the puzzles themselves and solve the secrets of the current level, so as to get the thrill of solving the puzzles.

This is the same as reading those reasoning books. If you can solve the current problem ahead of the characters in the reasoning book, you will also gain a sense of satisfaction.

During this time, Zhu Youxing has been busy with this, not because it is difficult to do, but because he wants to be patient and make it well.

To celebrate the sales of millions of red and white machines, it is also to better show the charm of The Legend of Zelda to people in this world.

Also, that is to deal with the strong attack of Suri Electronics.

Just a few days after the meeting between Zhu Yuxing and the seventeen groups, Suri Electronics had already taken action.

After three or four months of hiatus, they spent a fortune to sound the horn of their re-attack on television.

Fujifilm, CJK, Baide... more than ten Japanese companies that are well-known in the field of electronic software will jointly release their electronic games on the PN game console of Surui Electronics. Or audio-visual software.

Yes, PN can even be used as karaoke if you want.

Suri Electronics got inspiration from the gun-shaped handle from Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and found that the handle does not seem to have to use a specific shape. In fact, the special handle can also have some special purposes.

Since the gun-shaped handle is temporarily unsolvable due to patent restrictions, they simply developed a microphone handle. The microphone is very small and exquisite under the design of the industrial giant, and it is quite beautiful.

If you buy this microphone handle, there is even a built-in game that says you can sing. In a TV commercial, famous singer Kaoru Nakamura sang his most famous song aloud with the microphone handle. After the singer's singing ended, a 100-point evaluation appeared on the screen, and bursts of gorgeous fireworks celebrated the singer, who also showed a smile that could overwhelm all beings at the same time.

Then the picture of the singer gradually dimmed, and the whole picture of the microphone handle appeared on the TV, with the words "official sale" written below it!You can get the voice of a diva for only 7000 yen!

But this is not the end, except that after the advertisement for the microphone handle ended, another screen appeared suddenly, several products with black borders lined up and appeared circularly from left to right, and under the TV screen there were a few large characters written With: more handles with infinite possibilities!Stay tuned!
This advertisement has been broadcast for 3 minutes, and there is no repetitive content in 3 minutes, it can be said that the capacity is super high!

After seeing the advertisement, Zhu Yuxing expressed that he was greatly shocked.

Unexpectedly, you Surui Electronics have already started to sell the handle as a peripheral?The brain circuit of this Surui Electronics is a bit fierce!
Seriously, I really hadn't thought of this path, at least not yet.

People in this world are indeed not lacking in brains, innovation and competition.
