Chapter 465 369 Too Shameless! Qing Zhiyuan Is Too Shameless!
Chapter 465 369. So shameless! Qing Zhiyuan is so shameless!
After the release of "Pokémon: Mysterious Adventures", its performance quickly reached new highs.
Since this time it was released simultaneously all over the world, Adventure was widely praised not only in the Neon region, but also in the Omi region, and sales surged.
Global sales exceeded 1 million copies in the first week.
Then it hit 3 million copies in the first month.
This momentum is still gradually increasing, and countless Pokémon players are using their New Year’s money to continuously support the development of Pokémon Ishino.
If this situation continues, according to relevant industry surveys and research, global sales may exceed 10 million copies within half a year.
It is even possible to achieve a breakthrough of 20 million copies in 1998.
This number seems a bit too exaggerated for the entire gaming industry.
Especially the Oumi region has even contributed more than twice the sales volume of Neon.
It can only be said that Pokémon is indeed the number one IP in the world, and pokeni is also produced very well, which is why it can achieve such brilliant results.
Apart from anything else, P Club is still very good in the production of Pokémon. It is loved by a wide range of players around the world. This is not luck or accident. It is the real strength put here.
The price sold in the United States is much higher than that of Neon in China. It is sold at 69 US dollars per copy. Therefore, in terms of actual income, the profit of Pokémon is higher than other games.
And Pokémon is not just about games, the sales of peripherals also account for the bulk of revenue and are a very important part of revenue.
Driven by this wave of Pokémon, it is also during the Chinese New Year period, which corresponds to Christmas in the Omi region. After the launch of Pokémon Mysterious Adventures, various Christmas gifts are in the form of Pokémon.
Besides game consoles, what children want most are Pokémon-related toys.
After this wave, pokeni led sellers and peripheral production companies like DUN to make a lot of money.
…
This achievement is simply the envy of countless colleagues.
Who would have thought that a game about raising pets could actually reach this level, even being compared to Rentendo's Mario series.
Even though it is a game that is loved by children in terms of games, Mario has also lost in terms of peripherals.
"It's so scary. Pokémon in Pokemoni are like running water. It feels endless. How do they manage to develop two different Pokémon products every year?"
"The problem is that it can be put on the shelves in July, but it has to be released during the Chinese New Year. Qing Zhiyuan is really bad."
"Who has the biggest bargaining chip? It seems that no game IP in the world is as powerful as Pokémon, right?
It really takes courage and even more strength to be able to warm up and sell during the Chinese New Year.
Think about it, everyone must be busy eating, drinking and having fun during the New Year. Who would have thought of buying games to play.
That’s Pokémon, and other games would definitely not be able to follow this path. "
“Nentendo’s Mario series and Kirby Star may be able to compete, but if they are released at the same time as Pokémon, in addition to competing for popularity, the quality and fun of the game are also indicators that need to be taken into consideration.
A comparison will reveal that Rentendo is actually a bit behind. Otherwise, Rentendo, a product of the same type, would have pushed Pokémon to the ground and beaten them. How could Yamauchi Hiroshi's character make it so big? degree? "
"I couldn't kill it at first, but now there's no way to stop the Pokémon's growth."
"Pokeni just relies on a Pokémon series, and I feel like I don't have to worry about it in this life. The game itself doesn't need to be produced so frequently."
"But then again, who would think that they have too much money? If I were Qing Zhiyuan, I would definitely develop as many new Pokémon games as possible while ensuring quality."
"Now that Pokémon have been produced up to Adventure, is it not surprising that Pokémon of other categories will be produced next?"
"It's so scary. This thing feels like a mouth of an abyss wandering in the universe. It's looking for food to devour anytime and anywhere. Once it's targeted, it's hard to escape the fate of being devoured.
I just wish the Pokémon franchise would expand a little slower. "
"This depends on Qing Zhiyuan's ideas, and of course Pokeni's manpower. You don't have to worry too much about money, right?"
However, the most frightening thing is——
"Pokémon: Mysterious Adventures" is just the appetizer.
After the New Year, on January 4th, Pokémon Racing was also released.
This thing was promoted almost at the same time as Adventure, and it even gave people the illusion that both products were on the shelves at the same time.
After Pokémon Adventures came out on top, the media and players immediately turned their attention to the next game.
That's Pokémon Racing.
…
"Pokémon: Mysterious Adventures" opens the door to the market for single-player 3D adventure action games for Pokémon.
Pokemon Racing is attacking the racing category.
Although it is a racing game and has a racing mode, Pokémon Racing is still a relaxing and enjoyable game for the whole family in a sense.
It can support 4 people to play the game at the same time, whether it is a racing race, a prop race, a racing brawl, a cooperative track, or the road to the championship...
It can allow every player to enjoy the full fun in the game.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, the family sat happily in front of the TV, each holding a controller, and started a family-friendly game. There is probably nothing warmer than this.
Whether it is for families in Japan or for families in Europe and the United States, it is really a great happiness to be able to share the joy of family with family through a game during the New Year holiday.
During the Chinese New Year, the Uesugi family also invited several other family members to visit the house.
The house suddenly became lively.
The children played Pokémon Racing together upstairs, shouting and jumping.
The mothers gathered downstairs to play mahjong. Although they were a little drunk sometimes, the atmosphere was still very harmonious.
As for the fathers, it was impossible to organize fishing or golf during the New Year, so they basically sat on the sofa and chatted.
Occasionally, they would go to the card table when necessary.
The game not only promoted the friendship of the children, but also used it as an opportunity for these neighbors to get together and narrow the distance between each other.
In the United States, it was also an extremely warm scene for family members to get together to play games.
…
Pokemon Racing provides many interesting ways to play.
In the basic racing gameplay, Pokémon skills and evolution elements are added.
Different Pokémon racing cars have special adaptability. For example, Magikarp Racing is very suitable for sliding and moving in the water track, and it is more flexible in turning.
If you complete several challenges of [Carp Leaping the Dragon Gate] in the water racing, the Magikarp Racing will evolve into the Gyarados Racing, which can not only greatly increase the speed, but also create water spray to attack other racing cars.
So what everyone needs to do is, on the one hand, to make their car evolve as quickly as possible, and at the same time, to find ways to hinder other racers.
Of course, the most important thing about racing is how to reach the finish line quickly and smoothly.
So in some cases, even if you don't pursue evolution, you can still win the championship with excellent cornering skills and acceleration methods.
There are many changes in the acceleration methods in Pokémon racing.
For example, the acceleration method of Pikachu racing is to use electricity to propel the car.
As long as you pass the corners well and drift continuously, you can accumulate enough power bars. Press the power acceleration button, and the tail of the car will generate electric sparks, pushing the car forward in one breath until the power of the main tube is used up.
The acceleration method of Charmander is to spit fire, and it can also be used to achieve the effect of propulsion.
The difference from Pikachu racing is that Charmander racing is continuous acceleration. The acceleration may be slow at the beginning. If it does not hit any obstacles or slows down, the fire-spraying acceleration will continue, and the speed will get faster and faster in the back.
The fire-breathing acceleration will not enter the CD until it hits an obstacle or flies off the track.
And Pikachu Racing has another very important feature, that is overload.
After charging, it can continue to consume electricity to accelerate. If the acceleration time is too long, it will cause overload. Once overloaded, the car will immediately become chaotic and have to stop.
Meow Meow Racing can run at high speed with four paws facing the ground within a period of time.
Just like a kitten, and the movements are very flexible.
In general, when a car makes a right-angle turn, it needs to slow down or drift through the corner, and the speed will suffer a certain loss.
But after the Meow Meow Car transforms into a Meow Meow, it can turn without slowing down, and the Meow Meow's steps are very agile...
The evolved racing cars become even more powerful and exciting.
For example, after Charmander evolves into Charizard, it can fly into the sky, which requires a certain amount of physical strength.
When the physical strength is exhausted, it will fall to the ground.
Gyarados Racing has an extraordinary effect in water.
The charging effect of Raichu is more obvious, especially on the magnetic track. The electromagnetic force generated by Raichu can propel it all the way along the magnetic track. It does not require the player to operate, and can automatically complete operations such as moving forward and turning at the fastest speed...
Evolution is also time-limited. When the evolution energy is used up, the car will return to its original appearance.
Raichu Racing becomes Pikachu Racing, Charizard Racing becomes Charmander Racing, Gyarados Racing becomes Magikarp Racing...
In short, Pokémon Racing has rich gameplay, combined with the characteristics and elements of Pokémon itself, giving players an extraordinary gaming experience.
Let them fully enjoy the fun of racing games, while also feeling the fun of Pokémon itself.
Players shouted that they had never played such an interesting racing game.
"It's amazing. How could there be such a game that combines Pokémon and racing together.
The guy who came up with this gameplay must be a genius! "
"It's too joyful, right? During the entire New Year, I didn't go out. I played Pokémon Racing with my family at home every day, and I couldn't stop laughing. "
"I especially like the original racing battle mode in the game. Not only can I compete with my family, but also many NPC racing cars have been added, which fully experience the fun of Pokémon Racing in the game. "
The Pokémon Racing Battle mode is a unique game mode thought up by Qing Zhiyuan.
After all, this is Pokémon, which is different from many racing games.
The biggest difference is that Pokémon were originally used for fighting.
So in this case, why not make a battle mode for racing cars?
It's just like playing bumper cars in an amusement park.
In the game, in addition to the basic speed, acceleration and skill acceleration, the racing car also has its own durability, defense and attack attributes.
In the racing battle, 4 players can play the game, and more NPCs can also join.
The whole The game venue has a circular square, a circular track, and a mesh track, which can meet the players' needs for racing brawls on different terrains.
The rules of the game are also very simple. You can get points by using skills to destroy other cars. The destroyed cars will be resurrected after a period of time.
In the end, the player who gets more points within the specified time wins.
The racing brawl mode is simply played crazy by players.
This kind of game is actually very atmospheric and is especially suitable for multiplayer play. Children can't stop laughing the whole time.
...
After the release of Pokémon Racing, it quickly occupied the market and became The most popular racing game at the moment.
As it is during the New Year, the two games, Racing and Adventure, took on the main task of harvesting players' New Year's money.
The children just received the New Year's money in white envelopes, and the next second they contributed them to Pokémon.
The performance of Pokémon Racing was also sparking and lightning, like driving a flying car, rushing all the way up.
In the first week, the global sales performance was better than that of Adventure, directly standing on the step of 1.2 million.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be another game product worth tens of millions.
...
The Pokémon series has become an undefeated myth in the game industry, and it is no longer It can only be described as a masterpiece, a money-eating monster.
For people in the industry, Pokémon is an unattainable product.
For a long time in the future, no one knows or dares to imagine what kind of product can replicate the success of Pokémon.
When this thing came out, it looked so ordinary, but no one expected that it would become a terrible product that swept the world.
The annual income from the peripherals alone can keep Pokeni going.
What a terrible product.
"Qing Zhiyuan can obviously rob the children's money directly, but he has to make two Pokémon to show his kindness. He is really too kind."
"Don't say it, we may not be able to do it even if we want to. Only Pokémon in the world can reach this level."
"Ah... It's so enviable, I also want to have a product like Pokémon."
"When there is a Pokémon in the world, success has become very difficult to replicate.
Think about it, the same is a pet, Pokémon has all kinds of types and has even been developed to the sun, what new guy can you come up with? ”
“I’m so jealous. This thing is more valuable than any other game.”
“If you think about it carefully, Pokémon has made too many products, from the traditional turn-based Pokémon, to the multiplayer 3D world, to the current single-player adventure, and multiplayer racing.
I won’t be surprised at what kind of products Pokémon can make in the future.”
“I just hope Qing Zhiyuan doesn’t take our track. Pokémon, it seems that it can kill a world in any game field. It’s too scary.”
“May the best of luck to you. In the future, we have to think not only about how to make good games, but also about what technical barriers you have to survive if Pokémon enters this field.”
“Survival is the most important thing. I don’t expect to be the next Pokémon.”
…
In Square, Masashi Miyamoto is having a headache.
My goodness, Pokémon has released a single-player adventure game and a multiplayer racing game.
“This is not going to leave a way out for others. ”
Fortunately, Final Fantasy’s audience is different from Pokémon’s, and it tends to be older players. If the overlap is high, wouldn’t it be eaten alive by Pokémon?
But…
From Pokémon Adventure, Masashi Miyamoto has learned something vaguely.
It turns out that turning a turn-based game into a real-time game can be done this way.
However, he has no idea how big the project will be. After all, so far, the Final Fantasy series developed by Square Enix is all turn-based.
After careful thinking, Masashi Miyamoto breathed a sigh of relief.
Pokémon is generally younger, and it takes the cute pet route. No matter how it is expanded in the future, it should not be a big threat to them.
…
But on the other side...
"It's so shameless! Qing Zhiyuan is so shameless!"
Seeing the corresponding sales results, Miyamoto was furious and beat his chest.
The overlap between Pokémon and other people's games may not be very high, but the overlap with Rentendo's user base is quite high.
Now that he has transitioned from fighting to racing, what else does this guy want to do in the future? !
Every success of Pokémon means that Rentian will lose part of the market and players.
If we continue like this, sooner or later we will be ridden by pokeni.
Although he hasn't started work yet, Miyamoto Shigeru can probably imagine how angry President Yamauchi will be after spring begins.
Damn it!
It’s hard to have a good time this New Year.
A man who celebrates the New Year relies on games to collect New Year's money from children. I have never seen such a shameless person!
