Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 88 Two new challengers

Early morning on January 1994, 1

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

In addition to some necessary daily customer service staff and sales staff, the game console development and game development staff have taken a long holiday during the New Year period.

They just came back and felt very happy at work, and now they suddenly burst into a lot of inspiration, and they are very motivated.

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

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

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

Among them, the price of red and white machines will be reduced, because the original cost is not high. Now Zhuyouxing hopes to expand the group of game players. Naturally, game machines 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 Ren is another option.

The original game will have more or less certain bonuses when it is logged on to the super, and the screen performance will be better.

In particular, top games such as Super Mario 3 and The Legend of Zelda will be enhanced with special image quality to make the picture better.

But this is a big move, and it is a preparation for some unexpected events at any time.

Until there is no accident, Chao Ren will be temporarily closed to the public.

And just a few days after the new year, the accident really happened.

However, this accident did not come from Suri Electronics.

But two different companies.

They announced their game consoles almost at the same time after the new year, and they all claimed that they had very powerful and fun games at home.

A company called Vaders announced the Constellation Project game console: Aries, the game console will run on 16-bit chips, the public game lineup looks quite good, and it also confidently claims that each game will be made at least three more than More than a month, the quality and quantity are guaranteed.

This company already has a business department for electronic entertainment, which is similar to the pachinko, dance machine, karaoke machine and other products produced by Kuppongi in the past.

This business unit was directly converted into a video game business unit, focusing entirely on video games.

There is also a large-scale film and television entertainment group called Jinping Entertainment. They announced in a high-profile manner that they will use their own IP for film and television dramas and animations to develop exclusive games, bringing a new sensory experience to fans who like animation, film and television.

At the same time, there is also a game console developed by their family, called the future star, futurestar
This name is very similar to the game star gamestar of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. It is obvious that it is popular, and it is still hard.

The appearance of the entire game console is like a CD player, and a CD-ROM carrier is used. This carrier will greatly reduce the production cost of the hardware part of the game. It can also have 7000-bit higher performance.

To this end, they have also begun to recruit electronic engineering developers and programmers heavily to the outside world, and they can even directly sign lifetime employment contracts.

For a time, these two industries in Japanese society have instantly become a fragrant pastry.

Many unemployed young people also seem to see new hope.

The situation in the field of video games has suddenly developed from the previous two heroes to the current four countries fighting for hegemony.A little comparison like this, on the contrary, Youxing Electronic Entertainment seems to have a somewhat unstable foundation.

After all, this is an emerging company, and it seems that it is not comparable to the established companies in these three different fields in terms of financial resources and human resources.

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

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

In less than a year, the sales volume has exceeded one million, and that is the data from a month ago.

Now it has reached at least 110 million.

Of course, the real sales data has actually reached 140 million.

During Christmas and New Years, people's desire to buy increases, especially when it comes to buying things for children, they are no longer stingy, and are willing to pay for goods for children.

The red and white machine, the most fashionable thing at the moment, has naturally become the best choice.

According to statistics, sales exceeded [-] on Christmas Day alone. This is the first time that the sales of game consoles can reach [-] on the same day, which is very scary.

Then on December 12, the day before the new year, the sales data exceeded 30 again.

Now the red and white machine has completely entered the very fast fast lane.

However, PN game consoles followed closely. Thanks to the previous vigorous publicity, it did have a good effect. Now the daily sales can reach close to [-], and the crowd is constantly expanding.

Of course, the game is still the same as before, and now the PN game console seems to want to expand the crowd base as much as possible first.

The quality of the game is not because they don't want to do it well. It's because the red and white machines are in the first place. If they want to reach the same standard as the red and white machines, they will directly choose to log in on the red and white machines, because it is obviously more profitable.

As long as the game reaches the label of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, it can easily exceed 1 sales when it is logged on to the Famicom. Even the cheapest [-] yen a cassette can now easily earn more than [-] million.

If you choose to log on to different platforms at the same time, it will instantly drop at least tens of millions of income.

This is how fools will choose to log the game to PN or other game consoles.

Unless it is their own game development team, Suri Electronics has only one such team now.

During this process, the game lineup of the Famicom has also broken through to 24, and the number of groups joining the Famicom lineup has also reached [-]. There are already six companies at the company level, and [-] individual game production groups.

These [-] game companies now have an average of two or three months to have a game that meets the standard on the red and white machines. While they are making a lot of money, the advantages of the red and white machines continue to expand wildly.

Suri Electronics can only catch up with greedy eyes now.

Zhu Yuxing looked at the latest news, the game consoles from two new companies are ready to buy and study, and this will also be a new war in the new year.

In the face of the new competitors, the person who guards the Great Wall must have something to do.

So Zhu Yuxing picked up the intercom phone.

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

Shi Yuancang, one of the original 50-plus employees, has now become the leader of the first development team, specializing in a long-term project, Dragon Quest 2.

Up to now, the game development of Dragon Quest 2 has been more than seven months.

It took more than seven months to make a game based on red and white machines. It is quite a long time, and it can even be said to be the longest at present.

And the polishing of the Dragon Quest 2 game is also repeated over and over again, in fact, almost no faults can be picked up by now.

"Boss, find me."

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

When Ishigaki heard Take Yusei's words, he instantly became energized.

Finally...finally it's going to be released!
They put so much effort into making this game that they can finally show off their work to outsiders!
