Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 122 Aya Tsukino's Coincidence (67)

In fact, if it was produced normally according to the previous games, Dragon Quest 3 should be the first game in the world where the main character is female.

In Dragon Quest 3 itself, the hero Lott was optional in previous games.

But Zhuyouxing deleted the option to modify the gender after the modification.

In fact, he just wanted to hand over the crown of the first female main character in this video game to Metroid again.

And obviously Metroid's character traits are more obvious than those of Dragon Quest, and it's more appropriate for Samus to be the first manipulable female main character in a video game.

On the day when Metroid was officially released, perhaps because of Yinan Game.com's last modified star rating of the game, more people lined up to buy than expected.

In the first five days of release, the trial play time of the game has also been extended. This time, players can finally fully experience the fun of Metroid itself in advance.

Almost all the people queuing up to buy now are people who are very interested in the game itself.

This time, in order to avoid the recurrence of the last fight, some major sales locations even hired a few temporary security guards to maintain order.

The people who lined up this time were really more honest, and there was no such thing as the last time.

Customers purchased the games in an orderly manner, and those who bought them happily took the games back home and began to play officially.

According to the normal rules, it will take at least one day for these people to really play Metroid's ending.

At that time, there should be another small wave of upsurge.

And it just so happens that tomorrow is also the day when the first video game show airs.

For this reason, Zhu Youxing also revealed Metrood's secret to the TV station's staff in advance, so that they can make program plans in advance.

This instead made those TV employees quite depressed.

This is a passive acceptance of spoilers.

But that's okay, it's their job.

At the same time, various promotional materials have also been arranged.

One day after Metroid was officially released, Metroid, who had previously advertised on billboards, subways, and TV stations, also took off her helmet, revealing her true face.

It was a blond woman with sharp eyes and a heroic figure.

In the video game game business section of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun newspaper of the day, Samus's female image also occupied the entire page.

The world's first video game female hero, a controllable female hero!

An independent, strong, and handsome female hero!

Tian Chong, who was in the newspaper office, looked at the page he edited with satisfaction.

At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart.

The image of Samus is really beautiful.

That heroic feeling, coupled with her own female identity, fully reflects the strong side of women.

Although the status of women in Japan is very low, this does not prevent people from yearning for the image of such a strong woman.

what is this? This is proper political correctness.

Those who saw the ad also stared wide-eyed.

Almost every advertisement emphasizes that this is the world's first video game heroine, which has a very special symbolic meaning.

The strongest bounty hunter in the universe is a woman, which means that women also have their own powerful side, doesn't it?

Before that, people who were not interested in Metroid immediately decided to buy it.

Regardless of playing or not, the unique significance of this game alone is worth buying a box.

This also led to more players buying on the second day and the third day than on the first day.

The publicity effect this time was outstanding, and some people even started to praise Zhuyouxing.

I think he is a person who has the courage to make innovations and breakthroughs, and is also a person who has the courage to confront tradition.

The first episode of TV TOKYO's video game show was also very effective.

The host played Metroid in front of the TV with an employee of Yuxing Company's publicity team.

Show the most charming side of Metroid in front of the audience.

At the same time, the employee cleared the customs as quickly as possible, so that people could see Samus in a bikini.

Then the employee of the publicity team was in front of the camera explaining how the game's ending was triggered.

It was only at this moment that people finally realized that different clearance times will affect the ending.

If you're a skilled enough player, you can actually see a bikini Samus in person.

Whoops, my LSP soul has to explode, and I have to quickly pass the level once I say anything.

Even though this pixel-like picture is actually nothing to look at, the kind of novelty-seeking psychology still makes many non-audience players take the initiative to contact this game.

And this also allows the charm of Galaxy City games to flourish.

Faced with the new tricks that Yuxing Company has promoted many times, Su Rui Electronics and other companies seem to have calmed down a long time ago.

You can't be calm, anyway, they can't surpass them, so they can only look up.

But that doesn't mean they'll give up the chase.

Not long after that, several game companies immediately announced that they would develop a heroine game to fully showcase the beauty of a strong woman.

In the real society, women can't really achieve equal rights, so let's show it in the game.

The upsurge of the heroine Samus lasted for more than half a month before it slowly subsided, and the first week's sales data of Metroid was also calculated.

Sales of 230,000 in the first week.

From the current point of view, it is a high-quality game belonging to the upstream.

Now a game on the red and white machine that is above the passing line can sell around 100,000 to 150,000 in the first week.

Premium games can hover around 150,000 to 200,000.

The first 2.13 million is already a class of high-quality games.

However, part of this should also be the bonus of the first heroine, which once again attracted many non-audience players.

Zhu Youxing is quite satisfied with this result.

The sales volume of Metroid in the previous life was in the millions, and on average, each of them was just in the early million.

And this is probably the potential of Galaxy City games. Unless there are some chances and coincidences, it may reach three to four million sales, but that requires a certain amount of luck.

As a participant, Aya Tsukino liked Metroid very much.

Because she felt that the heroine Samus was very similar to herself.

I will wear thick clothes or armor to wrap myself tightly, and then take off the heavy clothes and armor when no one is around, so that I can have a chance to relax.

She even felt that this might be the character created by President Zhu Youxing on purpose, based on her.

No, it shouldn't be, after all, it is impossible for the president to know what he looks like at home, and it is impossible for him to know that he will take off most of his clothes to relax when he gets home.

It should be just a coincidence.

Well, coincidence.
