Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 123 What a President Should Look Like (77)

Metroid gradually reduced its attention following the new announcement of Yuxing Company.

Half a month after the release of Metroid, Zhuyouxing finally decided to announce the Super Nintendo SFC.

Of course, this game console definitely needs some warm-up, and it can't be taken out directly, so there is nothing exciting about it.

The first is the promotional channel from TV TOKYO.

In the special period of the video game challenge program group, there will be a live TV face-to-face meeting from Youxing Company, and the face-to-face meeting will also be broadcast live on the Internet.

And this time Yuxing Company will announce its own big move, which is a brand new game console, but what it looks like, what kind of performance it has, and how much it will sell for will be announced in the face-to-face meeting.

The rhythm of steadily releasing a first-party game every month has also been temporarily suspended for a month to make way for this new console.

When Su Rui Electronics learned about this incident, Ueto Hayakawa knew that Yuxing Company's big move was finally coming.

Before that, he had learned about Yuxing Company's brand new game console through his own relationship.

Its performance should probably be the performance of a complete 16-bit machine, slightly stronger than their current PN game consoles, but it is also limited.

In the past, limited by the performance of game consoles, there were still some disadvantages in the confrontation between red and white machines and PN.

But after the release of the new game console, this disadvantage will be completely eliminated, so that the PN game console will have no advantage.

Ueto Hayakawa decided to respond immediately without any hesitation.

First of all, it is to publish the game screen of the game that has been developed for a long time: Sun Knight 2.

Then announce two other games that have also been in preparation for a long time.

One of them is a racing game, and the other is a baseball game with better graphics and better game quality, and it is also a baseball game officially authorized by the Koshien Baseball League.

Sun Knight 2 will be officially released half a month later, just the day before the official announcement of SFC, which is obviously aimed at the release of SFC.

This time, in order to make this game, we also specially hired the best composer at the moment to compose an exclusive theme song for it, as well as the full support of well-known painters, as well as the help of the original author in the creation of the plot.

With Su Rui Electronics' connections and financial resources, it is really a piece of cake to handle this kind of thing.

As for the other two games, they will be released ten and twenty days after Sun Knight's release.

Ueto Hayakawa obviously had his own ambitions in making these two games.

Baseball games have proven to be the most popular sports games, followed by racing games.

The reason why racing games rank second is because similar works have recently appeared in film and television dramas and anime, and the response has been very good, making racing, which was not very popular before, a sport that Japanese people pay attention to.

In addition, Japan's own car culture is very popular, and several world-renowned car manufacturers are all Japanese, and it seems that it is a matter of course that it is popular.

In addition, Su Rui Electronics also announced a steering wheel handle specially used in racing games, which is also very attractive.

As soon as the three games were released, they really attracted the attention of many people, and took away some of the attention of Youxing Company's publicity.

Now Su Rui Electronics' PN game console has a certain audience in the process of continuous struggle.

Its total sales have already reached almost 400,000 units.

Compared with the total sales volume of more than two million units of red and white machines, it is naturally incomparable, but it also occupies a small part of the market.

Otherwise, it is impossible to attract some companies willing to make games for it.

In the early days, PN was like collecting garbage. It was indeed quite effective to receive all the games eliminated by the red and white machines. It really relied on this method to retain some players.

This is the biggest counterattack Ueto Hayakawa can make against Yuxing Company.

Immediately afterwards, Ueto Hayakawa also arranged for engineers to work overtime to develop a game console with higher performance as quickly as possible.

In terms of the quality of video games, Ueto Hayakawa believes that he really cannot compare with Yuxing Company.

But they can woo people with better performance and better graphics.

This is also one of the ways to success.

This is what Su Rui Electronics was best at when it competed in other industries before.

It can't compare to anything, at least it has to surpass some in terms of performance.

With Su Rui Electronics' own engineering development strength, this is of course not a problem. The only thing to worry about may be the cost of the game console.

If the cost is too high, it will also turn players away.

Except for Surui Electronics, other game manufacturers are more like spectators.

They quietly watched the competition between the two game console companies, and then secretly made a choice.

Youxing can make more money here, but Su Rui Electronics can give more generous treatment.

Next, it depends on how much advantage the two parties will gain in this round of competition.

On the other side of the game industry, Wilders, who specializes in the arcade field, is very calm, playing his own game as always.

In the field of arcade machines, because there is no Yuxing company involved, they live quite comfortably.

He started early and quickly seized many arcade game markets, which gave him a great advantage.

Recently, it has even received a huge amount of financing, and has begun to plan to expand the arcade production line and the frequency of game development.

The entire game industry in Japan seems to be divided into three parts.

Among them, Su Rui Electronics is slowly rising, and Youxing Company has always maintained its dominant position, but there are always people who are eager to find a way to kill this overlord, so that they can rise to the top and seize the video game market.

In the headquarters of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, several company executives are participating in an impromptu meeting.

Zhu Youxing told everyone about his plan.

He wanted to host a face-to-face meeting himself.

In the previous life, Nintendo liked to let its president host the meeting, and Zhu Youxing naturally wanted to experience it.

Speaking of which, he's never actually been on TV yet.

Natsume Yasulong asked seriously: "President, do you really decide to host the face-to-face meeting yourself?"

Zhu Youxing nodded: "Well, it's a new breakthrough for our company, and the release of a brand new game console deserves to be announced by me personally."

There's something ceremonial about announcing a new console in person.

Only when he comes to this world can he experience it, and he didn't even have this opportunity in his previous life.

Now that he has this opportunity, Zhu Youxing doesn't want to miss it.

"Then we should change our strategy. If the president personally hosts it, it must be more formal."

"Why should it be more formal?" Zhu Youxing was puzzled.

Natsume Yasulong explained: "President, you are usually more casual in the company, and we are all used to this kind of atmosphere, which is good, but I think you should maintain a serious and formal image in front of the public. What a president should look like."
