What is a gyroscope?

They had never encountered this before.

Simply put, a gyroscope is an instrument that can detect direction.

So far, this thing has been used more in specialized fields such as industry, military and aviation, and no one has tried it in the entertainment industry.

However, WarioWare became the first entertainment product to try this out, and the moment the introduction appeared, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to this brand-new gameplay mode.

"Is this the creativity of Yusei Electronic Entertainment? It's amazing. I never knew video games could be made like this. I was always confined by the game development framework set up by Yusei Electronic Entertainment, and I never thought of developing completely new gameplay."

People were intrigued by this new gameplay mode, and suddenly they felt an urge to buy a GBA immediately.

Because only by owning a GBA can you experience this entirely new form of entertainment.

No, you have to hold back. We still have old game consoles to play, and they can play a lot of free games. There's no need to buy a new console just for this one game.

Those who saw the introduction suppressed their impulses and patiently continued reading.

The third launch title is Castlevania: Reincarnation of the Moon.

Castlevania and Metroid are now considered the pioneers of the Metroidvania genre, creating an era and becoming the most popular titles in the category.

Furthermore, both of these works are very compatible with the United States. Whether it is a vampire theme or a galactic science fiction theme, they are very much to the liking of Americans.

This time, the two original creators were released together, and the die-hard fans of Metroidvania couldn't wait to join in.

"No, I have to buy this new game console. What does it matter if it costs the price of another game console? As long as it makes me happy, as long as I can play the latest Metroid and Castlevania, that's all that matters."

The first three games released were already captivating to many.

Some people are interested in the novelty Wario created, while others are ready to make an impulse purchase because of the two originators of Galaxy City.

And that's not all. This initial lineup includes games from Youxing Electronic Entertainment's own development team and core third-party developers, totaling more than thirty games to be released within a month. It's like giving players a New Year's celebration.

No matter what type, everything is included, so you're sure to buy it.

Chapter 301 Don't panic, we still have a chance

Zero Racing, Street Fighter handheld version...

Many high-quality GBA games, meticulously crafted by third-party developers, boast exquisitely detailed visuals.

As one launch game after another was announced, players could no longer contain their excitement.

No need to say anything more, I'll buy it, I'll buy it, okay? I'm definitely buying this new game console!

Many players had previously planned to play games for free in the future, but now they have decided to go back on their word.

The starting lineup of the GBA made it impossible for them not to be tempted.

Meanwhile, American game developers were feeling quite heavy-hearted.

The initial release included over thirty games, each described in an enticing way.

Let alone ordinary players, even they want to buy it and play it to their hearts' content.

At this moment, many developers finally realized the truth.

Previously, Youxing Electronic Entertainment had acted very calmly, only releasing a variety of short and quick games. People thought the company was planning to make a final profit, but now it seems that's not the case.

So this is where Youxing Electronic Entertainment was waiting for us.

They had already begun allocating manpower to develop new game consoles and new launch titles.

Several other key third-party manufacturers also obtained game development licenses early on, paving the way for the new game console.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment really has a tight timeline, just waiting for the new regulations to be fully implemented. No matter how much the United States wants to change them, it won't be able to do so in the short term.

Words spoken are like water spilled; they can never be taken back.

Even now, people have not seen the true face of the game console.

"Just click to the last page, I don't want to read these game descriptions anymore." At this moment, a once ambitious American game console company owner said with a hint of despair.

He was a nouveau riche who had just made some money. Seeing that the video game industry was booming and that Youxing Electronics Entertainment seemed to be on the verge of collapse, leaving a large market gap, he invested all his money into game console development.

But as soon as they invested the money, Youxing Electronic Entertainment slapped them in the face, and it really stung.

But they were completely helpless.

The employee obediently clicked the mouse, skipping the introductions of the next few launch games, and went directly to the last page.

And the true nature of the GBA was finally revealed to everyone.

In the past, both the GBC and GB game consoles were square-shaped, with the game buttons concentrated at the bottom of the screen.

This layout has led most people to accept it as the standard for handheld game consoles.

But when the true nature of the GBA was revealed, they were stunned once again.

The GBA's shape changed from the original square shape to a flat oval shape, making it more rounded. The buttons were distributed on both sides of the screen, and shoulder buttons were added to the top of the console, making the GBA look completely different from its previous form.

This brand-new image is also very eye-catching.

Furthermore, the GBA also came in a variety of colors.

The previous GBC and GB were gray and white, with only a few limited handhelds having special colors to distinguish them.

This time, the GBA has colorful shells, including some with transparent colors, giving the game console a futuristic, sci-fi feel. People can see the internal structure of the game console directly from the outside, giving players a sense of curiosity.

In addition to these colorful shells, Yuxing Electronics Entertainment has even launched a shell customization service. As long as you pay, Yuxing Electronics Entertainment can even customize a unique GBA shell for players. Of course, this customization is definitely not cheap.

A completely new look, a completely new game—I've seen it all.

Then the next key point is naturally the price.

When the page is scrolled to the bottom, the price and release date of the GBA are finally revealed.

On August 1st, which is half a month from now, the GBA will be officially launched in Japan. The United States will have to wait another half a month because the GBA still needs to be transported by ship, and it will take time to arrive at the port. The United States will have to wait a little longer.

As for the price, it's 9800 yen in Japan and $129 in the United States.

This price can be described as offering more for the same price.

The GB and GBC will announce simultaneous price reductions, and the production of both game consoles will gradually decrease, but they will not be completely discontinued in the short term.

This price is really cheap; most families can afford it.

Furthermore, all launch games for the GBA will be guaranteed to cost no more than 5000 yen, or $49.9.

"Don't panic, we still have a chance. Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's games are still very expensive. We can gain an advantage with cheaper games. Yuxing Electronic Entertainment no longer dominates the market. More companies are entering the game market now, and its dominance will definitely not be what it used to be."

"That's right, our games are just as good. The games from Youxing Electronics Entertainment may look interesting, but you have to actually play them to know how good they are. The high price of the games will definitely deter many people."

These American game developers are determined to persevere, even if it's tough.

They have already invested a lot of money in game development, and they don't believe that GameStar Entertainment can dominate the game market again.

During the period leading up to the implementation of the new US regulations, game companies other than core third parties abandoned their cooperation with Youxing Electronic Entertainment and instead released more of their games on other platforms.

In this process, Yuxing Electronics Entertainment did indeed suffer losses from many other third-party manufacturers.

People die for wealth, birds die for food. Zhu Youxing did not reveal any of his plans to these people in order to prevent the information from being leaked and causing some unexpected incident to occur in the United States.

Therefore, the losses suffered by these third-party manufacturers are unavoidable.

To persuade them to return to their side, their GBA needs to achieve sufficient sales.

It should at least reach the sales volume of GBC.

However, Zhu Youxing was not worried at all. With this starting lineup, he was not concerned that players would not choose them.

In addition to these launch titles, several other games are planned for release on the GBA, giving players plenty to keep up with.

The only concern now is that players might not be too willing to pay the price.

At this moment, the American developers who had finished watching the GBA presentation suddenly remembered something: "By the way, the official website of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment also said that there will be a live webcast of a Direct in a few days. Do you know what a Direct is?"

The term "Direct" is still relatively unfamiliar in the United States, but they seem to understand that it should be something similar to a press conference.

"The Direct... should be a collective promotional event for new games. The more than 30 games that debuted on the GBA have only been introduced so far, so there must be more people who want to know more details about these games. It seems normal to hold a dedicated press conference for them."

"Is that so? But I remember saying there would be even more bombshell news in the live broadcast..."

"What bigger news could there be? This GBA alone is big enough."

These people were saying this, but at that moment they all thought of the same thing.

A new home gaming console...

No...no way?

Chapter 302 A Home That Won't Let You Down

"That's impossible! How could a new game console have such high performance? And it's going to be released in just half a month? That's simply impossible!"

In one of the offices, a grumpy American was yelling.

He is one of the major shareholders of Hongguo Company.

He was also the first to suggest taking advantage of the opportunity to develop a game console and make a quick buck.

Previously, their joint lawsuit, along with those of other parties, finally prompted the U.S. Department of Justice to step in and help them regulate Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Just as they were about to bury all four of Yusei Electronics' game consoles in the ground, they suddenly announced: Yes, we have a successor, and they will take over soon.

Developing a game console is very complex.

Creating a game console from scratch is a very time-consuming and costly endeavor, typically taking at least a year.

Now, Yuxing Electronics Entertainment has suddenly produced a complete handheld game console, which is simply unacceptable to this shareholder.

Just when it seemed like Yuxing Electronics Entertainment was about to go bankrupt, how did it suddenly come back to life?

“Boss, it seems that Youxing Electronic Entertainment was actually prepared a long time ago. They may have anticipated that they would be deliberately targeted and kept a backup plan.”

This shareholder was in an extremely bad mood at this moment.

He was now wondering why that damned Japanese could still fight back. And just looking at the specs of the game console, it was definitely in the top tier of handheld consoles. It had high performance and was very affordable. Even a child from an average American family could afford a game console at that price.

On the other hand, Red Fruit's game console, although not yet announced, has basically finalized its performance and configuration, with performance similar to the PN2. They have also invited many game developers to develop new games for their console and promised generous rewards.

Just when it seemed like a major battle was about to begin, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment launched a counterattack in this unexpected way.
