  Now game developers have more choices.

  If you are poor and have no money, you can develop PC games first.

  Because PC games do not need to consider the cost of game console licensing and cassette production.

  At least half of the cost can be saved.

  That is to say, as long as the profit is half of the game console game, it can be earned.

  Under this temptation, more people are developing PC games.

  However, games on consoles tend to sell more, generally three or five times more than games on PCs.

  Obviously, most gamers have gradually become deeply rooted in game consoles, thinking that they should use game consoles instead of computers to play games. They have not fully regarded computers as an entertainment product.

  Therefore, once it is a game manufacturer with a certain scale, it will still choose to release its own games on the game console.

  In the first month of 1996 alone, more than 100 game companies were founded in the United States, and hot money quickly poured into this newly emerging industry.

  But among these people, they know that there is still only one overlord in the game industry, and that is Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

  So far no one has been able to shake its status.

  Even Suri Electronics could barely grab the corner of the opponent's clothes to keep up with the pace.

  When the second month of 1996 came, after nearly two years, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment finally officially released the third Mitrod game that had been secretly developed for nearly half a year.

  Super Metroid.

  Its story follows the final story of the second Metroid: The Return of Samus, in which Samus travels to a scientific planet in the Galactic Federation with the Metrod cub in a spaceship.

  However, not long after they settled down, the space pirates came to the door and kidnapped the Metrod cub.

  Samus had to embark on a journey again to rescue the Metrod cub.

  This game can be said to appear after a long time.

  two years.

  Do you know how I got here in two years?

  That's what's on the minds of many Metroid loyalists.

  Some even got a little wet in their eyes when they saw the actual promotional video of Metrod.

  They have been looking forward to new stories for a long time, but Yuxing Electronics Entertainment just doesn't do it.

  If this is placed on Suri Electronics and other game manufacturers, I am afraid that three or four generations of works have already been developed.

  But Youxing Electronic Entertainment is really a big business and has a huge number of IPs.

  Yuxing Electronic Entertainment can continue to make a series of games casually, and the position of Metroid is not so important.

  But under the call of countless players, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment seems to have finally heard the voice of the players and promised to continue to make the Metrod game, and finally made the game at the last time.

  Players are very excited.

  They have never been so excited.

  However, in February only a few previews of the game screen were released, and the price of the game was officially announced.

  The price is 8,900 yen in Japan and $99 in the United States.

  If you plan to buy an SFC game console, you can reduce it by 1,000 yen and 10 dollars respectively, which is considered to promote the sales of the game console again.

  The price of this game is already terrible.

  Mainly more costs are concentrated on specially made game cartridges.

  The mass production cost of the game cartridge alone is as high as 2,000 yen.

  Including packaging and shipping, the cost per box of cassettes reached about 3,500 yen.

  If it is an ordinary game company, I am afraid it will not be able to bear it.

  If it is a new IP game, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover the cost.

  But Metroid already had a certain player base, and the game was only released after two years. Players felt that the price was acceptable.

  But for new players this is a bit holding them back.

  With this money, you can buy two slightly outdated SFC games that are equally fun, and the starting price of Metroid is a bit too high.

  But this is not a problem. As long as the quality of the game itself is good enough, the subsequent sales will definitely not be too low.

  On Hayakawa Zhiren's side, he finally understood that Youxing Electronic Entertainment was really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and they were really preparing to make a big move.

  How can it be possible to sell such a high price if it is only a general release game?

  When things go wrong, there must be demons, and this game definitely has its own uniqueness.

  Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is different from other game manufacturers. Yuxing Electronic Entertainment definitely has a plan for any abnormal operation, and there has never been any accident.

  So this time Hayakawa Zhiren did not despise Yuxing Electronic Entertainment anymore.

  He immediately decided to retreat.

  Obviously, Youxing Electronic Entertainment killed him aggressively, ready to show his muscles to the people in the industry.

  Hayakawa Ueto, who has a little PTSD, seems to have already sensed something.

  Sometimes there is no shame in avoiding its edge.

  If you plan to fight with Youxing Electronic Entertainment, invest a huge cost and face the opponent, and then cause yourself a heavy loss, that is the worst thing.

  However, Hayakawa is very cautious, but other game companies are not so cautious.

  Especially Lierda, who has been in the limelight recently.

  They made a lot of money in this gaming industry boom.

  Players seem to be buying it too.

  The founder of Lierda is also a player who loves games very much, so the games he took the lead in developing are also very good.

  And as Yuxing Entertainment has been silent for more than half a year, they seem to have forgotten the fear when they were once ruled by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

  They want to challenge Yuxing Electronic Entertainment head-on.
