Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 245 Release Date

  Lierda is a company held by many large capital shareholders, which itself can no longer be easily fully controlled by the CEO of Lierda.

   He can call the shots within a certain range, but once it exceeds the range set by this group of shareholders, they will immediately stop you and let you calm down.

   But he felt that it should be more radical and should not stop there.

   It doesn’t matter if you increase the price a little bit. Anyway, you are a mobile phone plus a handheld product, and it is normal for the price to be a little more expensive than a normal mobile phone.

   But shareholders obviously don’t think so, they think more, and think that they have eaten more salt than the CEO has eaten. Listen to us.

  Be honest and don’t be too aggressive.

   The CEO of Lierda is also a little helpless about this. He will no longer increase the production cost, so the yield rate will definitely not increase in the short term, and the loss is still himself.

   However, this product has already won the favor of some people. We can only find a way to promote the product first, and then after certain results are achieved, we can ensure the quality in the follow-up.

   At the same time, the sales of all Lierda products were also bigger.

   With the capital injection of several large capitals, he can directly use it to spend on a lot of publicity, and it is like blowing his own products into the sky.

   This time, it’s not that the major department stores are exaggerating their own propaganda, Lierda is doing the same.

  Take Yusei, who was busy finishing work on Metroid, only found out about it a few days after Lierda released the product.

   When he learned that Lilda and a communications company co-produced a handheld phone that could make phone calls, he still felt a little magical.

   I didn’t expect that the world would also think of the way of researching mobile phones.

   But Zhu Yuxing, who has experienced the development of the post-tech era, knows that this road will not work.

   In the past life, whether it was Nokia or Sony's own mobile phone handhelds, they all disappeared in the end, and they didn't turn up any waves, and finally became a plaything for some collectors.

   This is not because the quality of the product itself is not good, nor is it because the quality of the games logged on these mobile handhelds is not good, but they are all born out of time.

  Mobile games may really be one of the futures of the game industry, but that was also after 2016. Before that, any mobile game could not get rid of that kind of short, simple and rude games.

Before that, more users simply used mobile phones as communication tools. Players who like games would prefer the specificity of handhelds, so that they can save themselves playing games and being excited, send a phone call or text message. Disturb the mood.

   And people who are accustomed to mobile phones will not consider such a wonderful thing as a mobile phone handheld. It looks like a handheld and a mobile phone, like four dislikes.

   Zhu Yuxing still doesn't know that Lierda is restricted by shareholders and cannot make the cost too high.

  If he knew, he would also think that those shareholders were also rational.

   If there is no bottom line to spend all your money on it, you will lose as much as you spend.

  Lilda's doing this thing is equivalent to paying a tuition fee, but he feels that this thing is not too threatening.

   So he didn't take it to heart, and continued to concentrate on the final development of Metrod 3.

   When February ended and entered March, there was more news coming out of Metrorod 3, from the gameplay to the beginning of the story, and the plot was revealed, which can be regarded as an appetite for players.

Finally, amid the long-awaited expectations of players, the release date of Metrod 3 was officially announced, on March 15th, and preparations for the mass production of the cassette had begun about two months ago. .

  Because the cassette is specially manufactured, and a chip is embedded inside the cassette to help improve the performance of SFC, the production cycle of the cassette is also much longer than before.

   At the same time, Zhu Yuxing also needs to consider the initial mass production number of cassettes in advance.

   In the end, he decided to be more open and not particularly conservative.

There are already a lot of player audiences, so there must be million-level sales. Simply do more at the beginning. If you press the inventory, you will press the inventory. Now I am really not bad for this game. Time is lost.

   And American and Japanese players who learned the official release time are very excited.

  This game is released at the same time in the two places to ensure that every player who wants to experience it for the first time will not be spoiled.

   At the same time, Zhu Yuxing also arranged for people to make various security preparations.

   One thing has been verified by the experience of many previous launches of Dragon Quest and other popular games.

  Hot games really have a different kind of magic, they can drive a lot of players crazy.

   And this also reminded him of the days when he used to wait for the game to be released.

   Sometimes he is even willing to buy the digital version of the game for some games, just a few days in advance, and then pay extra for a physical version of the collection.

   In this era, the Internet has only just emerged for a few years, and it is not as developed as the later generations. It is still unrealistic to force the digital version of the game, and the physical cassette is still the top priority.

   Then, the time came to March 15th, the day that Metroid was officially released.

  In the Japan area, there are long queues at every sales location where you can buy Metroid 3.

  Especially in front of directly-operated stores, people began to set up tents and wait in line to buy games about three or four days ago, which even became a sign of the release of Yuxing electronic entertainment games.

   As long as it is a game released by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, there will inevitably be many people who stay up late in line.

  In the beginning, this behavior also made the Japanese government nervous for a while.

Because there was a fighting incident in Dragon Quest 3 before, this incident also affected the Japanese government, but fortunately, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment handled the incident properly and quickly quelled the incident, but the Japanese government did not The side is still worried about causing more serious accidents.

   However, several consecutive series of games were released, and the number of participants became larger and larger each time, but no vicious incidents occurred again, which still made the Japanese government very satisfied.

  People in the industry are autonomous, they don’t need to intervene too much, they save trouble, and they are more friendly to video games.

   This is something that Take Yusei has been emphasizing before.

   In the past life, video games had a lot of bad effects, which led to video games being taken out and whipped as a surrogate ghost many times.

   Therefore, Zhu Yuxing can only avoid this kind of thing as much as possible based on the experience of the previous life, so that the video game can develop more healthily at least in the early stage.

   As for the later stage, he really can't control it.
