After negotiating the Pokémon-related matters, the handheld GB finally announced the price, which is the same price as SFC, 8,000 yen.
This price is far below many people's expectations.
In their imagination, GB was at least 10,000 yen, and 8,000 yen really surprised them.
Suri Electronics also quickly adjusted its strategy, choosing to announce the price of its own game console the day after GB announced the price, which was also 8,000 yen.
The game console of Suri Electronics will have a color screen and a backlit screen. Even at night, without turning on the lights, you can directly use it to play without any obstacles.
The release time of GB has also been set in August, and some warm-up activities for Pokémon games have been arranged.
For example, in some places, you will get a limited number of Pokémon dolls.
This is the first to be welcomed by many girls.
Especially cute creatures like Pikachu and Little Fire Dragon have become the most popular gifts.
If boys are lucky enough to get these limited-edition dolls and give them to their favorite girls, the legend will also increase the success rate of confession.
Of course this is bullshit, just a marketing attempt, but it works.
Surui Electronics is not very vigilant about this, because they just think that Yuxing Electronics Entertainment is only doing some regular publicity work, and just looking at the images of those Pokémon, they don't feel much threat.
Maybe I really think that these creatures are so cute that they are harmless to humans and animals, and they are so harmless that they are not competitive.
And this is exactly what Zhu Yuxing wanted. He really didn't want Suri Electronics to be too vigilant.
On the day of GB's release, without any surprise, all GB stores were sold out on the same day, and none of them remained.
This was even scarier than when SFC was on sale at the time.
Originally, there were 300,000 units in stock on the first day, but it was still not enough. Later, the inventory was urgently allocated, and all the millions of GB units that were originally planned to be sold within a week were distributed to different retailers, and then continued to sell again. Best sale.
A week later, GB's trick record broke the previous sales record of all game consoles, reaching the level of breaking 700,000 in the first week, basically selling 100,000 units in one day, which is very scary.
Some players are the kind of people who don't have game consoles such as red and white consoles, but they are willing to buy this console for portability. Most of them are not children, but social animals who commute every day, leave early and return late.
On weekdays, they commute every day on the tram with almost nothing to do. Except for taking a nap in the tram, they only read newspapers and some regularly issued text messages on their mobile phones when they are bored.
The GB handheld saved them, giving them a whole new option during their commute.
After all, Su Rui Electronics is a step slower, even if players know that Su Rui Electronics' handhelds will have better pictures and look more attractive.
But who made GB the first to release it.
And the first-ever games, such as the handheld version of Super Mario, Metroid: Return of Samus (just don't write 2),
these two games are the most popular, with sales of 500,000 and 500,000 respectively in the first week. Thirty-five thousand.
Players are just a little regretful that there is no game like Dragon Quest in the first game, if there is, they will definitely buy more, Dragon Quest is far more popular than Metroid.
There is also another starting game, the handheld version of the Super Baseball Tournament, which is basically a replica of the same game on the red and white machines. On the basis of the original game, some new gameplays have been added to make the game look more Complete and more attractive.
After the last baseball incident, some players who listened to the slander and contradicted the Super Baseball Game now have a mentality of redemption and are willing to spend money to buy the game cassette of the Super Baseball Game. As for whether they will go Play, that doesn't matter anymore.
GB's first launch results were quite good, and it also boosted the confidence of the Yuxing electronic entertainment engineering development team, and then they immediately started non-stop research and development of new handhelds and new consoles.
The task given to them by Zhu Yuxing is still very heavy, and at the same time, because of the sufficient incentive policy, they are also very motivated, and they seem to not feel tired at all.
Everything was proceeding step by step, and then the time soon came to the time when Suri Electronics released the handheld, which was September.
The handheld computer released by Suri Electronics is called HM1.
The full name in English is HAPPY MAN.
The name is somewhat similar to GB's GAME BOY.
A happy man, a game boy, obviously Suri Electronics really wants to benchmark.
At the same time, as the first game, there are a total of Sun Knight's game console replicas, which are also similar to the super baseball game, adding some gameplay and content.
Then there is a handheld racing game and a scrolling shooting game linked with the well-known domestic IP Jiaziyuan Superman. The gameplay is that Jiaziyuan Superman flies in the sky and launches attack waves to defeat the enemies in front one by one, which is roughly equivalent to the horizontal version of thunder and lightning. , which is a small creation.
This time, the game produced by Suri Electronics really has some characteristics, and players also do not reject such games, so the sales results in the first week are also good.
Of course, it's just not bad in their opinion, with 50,000 sales in the first week.
This has been much better than the previous PN game console sales, and it seems that players finally recognize the PN game console's achievements.
Then, Yuxing Entertainment released a brand new role-playing series on SFC: Final Fantasy.
The game that Zhu Yuxing had always wanted to develop has finally come to an end.
It was originally expected to be developed for one year, but it was basically completed in more than half a year.
The main reason is that the current group of programmers and their own creativity are really powerful, so that Zhuyouxing can't find any faults in the end, so just sell it directly, just to suppress the arrogance of Suri Electronics and make the original self-feeling The good Suri Electronics was beaten back to its original shape again.
This time, the final fantasy has changed from the single routine of the hero to save the princess, but made a story with a little tragic color.
At the same time, it also increases the ability to transfer to a new profession. After being promoted to a new profession, you will gain new enhanced attributes and skills to increase your combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
Of course the best part is the story itself.
This time the story is no longer a happy one, but a story with a little bit of an open ending style.
The warriors travel to save the world 2,000 years ago, then the enemy travels to 2,000 years later to destroy the world, and then let time forever fall into the cycle of 2,000 years and never get out of it, so that evil can last forever.
In the end, the four warriors of light work together to destroy the timeline and put time back on track, but the future is full of uncertainty and people are full of expectations.
