Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Early morning, January 11, 1994

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 personnel and sales personnel, the development of game consoles and game development personnel have a long holiday during the New Year.

They just came back and felt quite happy to work, and now suddenly a lot of inspirations burst into their brains, and they are very motivated.

This is a very dynamic young company. Even under the high-pressure competition of Su Rui Electronics, it seems that the state of these game production employees has not been affected too much.

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

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

Among them, the price of the red and white machine will be reduced, because the cost is not high, and now Zhuyouxing hopes to expand the group of game players. Of course, the game machine should not be too expensive, otherwise many natural players will be turned away. .

Then, if you want to have a better gaming experience, Super Nintendo is another choice.

When the original game is logged on to the Super Nintendo, there will be more or less certain bonuses, and the graphics will be better.

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

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

Until there are no accidents, Super Ren will not be made public for the time being.

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

But this accident did not come from Surui Electronics.

But two different companies.

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

A company named Wilders announced the Constellation Project game console: Aries, the game console will be run by a 16-bit chip, the public game lineup looks pretty good, and it also confidently claims that each game will produce at least three More than a month, quality and quantity 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 division was directly converted into the video game division, focusing all on video games.

There is also a large film and television entertainment group named Jinping Entertainment. They announced in a high profile that they will use their own film and television drama animation IP 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, named Future Star, futurestar

The name is very similar to Gamestar from Youxing Electronic Entertainment. It's obviously a joke, and it's a hard one.

The appearance of the entire game console is like a CD player, and it uses a CD carrier. This kind of carrier will greatly reduce the production cost of the hardware part of the game. It also has 16-bit higher performance.

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

For a while, these two industries in Japanese society instantly became popular.

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 a new company, and it seems to be inferior to these three established companies in different fields in terms of financial resources and manpower.

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 the red and white machine.

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

Now it has reached at least 1.1 million.

Of course, the real sales figure has actually reached 1.4 million.

During Christmas and New Year, people's desire to buy increases, especially when buying things for children, they are no longer stingy, and are willing to spend money to buy goods for children.

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

According to statistics, the sales on Christmas Day alone exceeded 100,000. This is the first time that the sales of game consoles on that day can reach 100,000, which is very scary.

Then on December 30, the day before the new year, the sales data once again exceeded 100,000.

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

However, the PN game console is also following closely behind. Thanks to the previous vigorous publicity, it has indeed played a very good effect. Now the daily sales can reach nearly 10,000, and the crowd is also expanding.

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

As for the quality of the game, it’s not that they don’t want to do it well, it’s that the Famicom machine has more gems, and if they want to meet the same standards as the Famicom, they will directly choose to log in on the Famicom, because it is obviously more profitable there.

As long as the game reaches the label of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, it can easily exceed 100,000 sales when it is logged into the Famicom. Even the cheapest 3,000 yen a cassette can now easily earn more than 100 million.

And if you choose to log in to different platforms at the same time, your income will be reduced by at least tens of millions in an instant.

In this way, fools will choose to log in the game to PN or other game consoles.

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

During this process, the game lineup of the Famicom has also broken through to 80, the number of groups joining the Famicom lineup has also reached 30, there are already six companies at the company level, and the number of individual game production groups has reached 24.

These 30 game companies are now able to land a game that meets the standards on the red and white machine in an average of two to three months. While they are making a lot of money, the advantages of the red and white machine continue to expand wildly.

Su Rui Electronics can only catch up while being greedy.

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

In the face of new competitors, I, the defender of the Great Wall, must do something.

So Zhu Youxing picked up the internal phone.

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

Shi Yuancang was one of the original fifty-odd employees, and now he has 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.

The production of games based on the red and white machine requires more than seven months to produce, which is quite long, and it can even be said to be the longest at present.

The Dragon Quest 2 game has been polished over and over again. In fact, until now, almost no faults have been found.

"President, you are looking for me."

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

When Ishigaki heard Takeyusei's words, he became energetic instantly.

Finally...finally it's time to publish!

They've put so much effort into making this game that they can finally show off their work to outsiders!
