Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

"Oh my god, what did we see, Tsutomu Matsumoto did a super combo! He pinned his opponent from the US to the ground! His opponent couldn't fight back! His opponent was out of health! His opponent failed Already!"

"Tsuto Matsumoto, a player from Japan, won the Street Fighter Champion of the first Game Star Cup. He also won a prize of 100,000 US dollars, which belongs to him alone. He deserves this reward. Please let us know Cheers for him! Cheers for him!"

TV Tokyo, starting at eleven o'clock in the evening, all scheduled programs are postponed, and then from night to ten o'clock in the morning, there will be a live broadcast of e-sports from the United States.

Originally, after eleven o'clock is the traditional night program time slot, this time slot is a garbage time slot in most TV stations, and has no use value.

If it wasn't for the fourteen-hour time difference between the United States and Japan, and the daytime in the United States would be nighttime in Japan, such a unique live game program should not be scheduled in the middle of the night.

However, even in the middle of the night, the person in charge of TV Tokyo found that the ratings jumped from the original 2-3% to more than 10% that day.

This is the highest ratings record for the night time period in the whole of Japan in recent years.

From this point, it can also be seen that the gimmick of the war between Japan and the United States is indeed very attractive, even if it makes people stay up all night because of it, people will never tire of it.

Anyway, the next day is the weekend, so why not watch the battle between Japan and the United States for a night?

And the result of the game is very gratifying.

After a whole day of fighting in turn, two Street Fighter players were finally contested, one from the United States and one from Japan.

Then the final was scheduled to continue on Saturday night, which also increased the audience's high sense of anticipation, and it might even increase the ratings again.

In short, TV Tokyo is going to be happy.

The sponsors were also very happy. At first they didn't pay much attention to e-sports, but they turned around and found that e-sports had suddenly sprung up and become a popular project that everyone paid attention to.

These previous sponsors have also gained a lot of reputation because of this, and they have made a lot of money.

As a result, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment once again increased the sales of game consoles and Street Fighter.

Originally, Street Fighter only managed to sell over one million copies in Japan, but this is the result of several months of hard work.

But as soon as the e-sports program was broadcast, coupled with the previous talk show, the sales in Japan immediately reached 2 million, and with the 2 million sales in the United States, the total sales of Street Fighter now reached four. One million, it can be regarded as a top ranking in the records of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Now Street Fighter has also become a most popular character in the hearts of children.

In the ranking of avatars in Japan, Koshien Superman, who used to dominate one side, has fallen to the altar, and he can't even reach the top three.

And now the top three most popular virtual characters all come from the game characters of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

The first is Mario, the second is the brave man in Dragon Quest, and the third is the whole series of Pokémon that has been precipitated and grown continuously.

Then, among the top ten most popular virtual characters in Japan, Youxing Electronic Entertainment almost occupied the entire list, occupying a full eight places.

Only Koshien Superman in fourth place and Kasugasha's manga character named "Heart of the Machine" occupy ninth place.

This is a terrifying statistic. Youxing Electronics has built a solid wall in the hearts of Japanese children. As long as Youxing Electronics doesn't kill himself, his position will be extremely stable.

Back to esports programming.

The next night came, and the final of Street Fighter officially began. The Japanese contestants won the final victory without accident, but under the deliberate exaggeration of TV Tokyo, the contestants from Japan were described as one The image of defeating opponents through continuous efforts makes it easier to gain a sense of identity and make people realize that through hard work, this kind of positive chicken soup can be harvested.

The Japanese people are quite fond of this set.

On Saturday night, after the Street Fighter championship game came out, the audience ratings also reached a new high, reaching 20%, but it was only a few minutes, and soon fell again, returning to 10% The level line of around two or three.

This has already made TV TOKYO feel that it has gained a lot, thinking that cooperating with Zhu Yuxing is really the wisest choice in their life.

After the Street Fighter competition, there is the Need for Speed ​​competition. Of course, this has also received some attention, but it has not received as much attention as Street Fighter. After all, the audience for racing cars in Japan is really not very large. They mostly just watch lively.

And this need for speed competition is also one of the two team competitions in the four competitions. The final winner can also be competed on the same day. The players are from Japan, and they are from a club sponsored by the local chaebol in the Kansai area. player.

Then, the TV station announced tomorrow's game schedule to everyone. Street basketball and Mario Kart will continue to compete tomorrow. At the same time, TV Tokyo released a screenshot with only a few silhouettes in the final preview.

Below the screenshot is written: "From the latest masterpiece of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, a new type of game personally directed by the president Zhu Youxing will be announced after all the competitions. Please stay tuned."

Compared with the results of Mario Kart and street basketball, it is obvious that the preview of this new game is the highlight.

At this point, Zhuyouxing is finally ready to announce its first game completely developed by a game engine: Doom.

This time Zhuyouxing intends to no longer be limited to children's games, but to start preparing to develop towards a higher age group.

If Doom is graded according to age, it is at least a 16+ level game, which is full of bloody and violent elements, which is obviously not suitable for children to play and enjoy.

So in the preview, I also emphasized many times that this new game will be a game for a new age group, and it is not suitable for children to play. If you want to watch the trailer, please watch it with the company of your parents.

Making this kind of reminder is also to prevent some people from taking advantage of this.

Taking the game to a new age group is what Zhu Youxing planned long ago, and he cannot always be limited to the children's audience.

The previous Metroid actually began to mark some warning elements on the cassette, but it did not carry out age classification. At that time, Zhu Youxing thought that the time was not enough, and the pictures of Metroid could barely be accepted by children. .

But Doom, once it's made, really needs to be reminded.

This is not a game for kids, please do not buy it.
