Chapter 137 Stingy NGS Second Update

The TV commercial successfully generated buzz.

After several days of preparation, Sega has begun to leave more of a place in people's minds.

Do you want to play Sega's latest game?

It’s those high-definition remastered games.

What? Isn’t that transplanted from NGS? I've already played it once, what interest would I have in playing it again?

What if I told you that Sega had better graphics, and Sega had more content?

What do you mean?

Haven't you seen the latest commercial? On the Sega console, the few high-definition remastered games have added more features and are no longer what they were originally.

Um? Is there such a thing? Then I have to buy it and take a look.

On the day after the advertisement aired, players began to come to the video game store one after another to inquire about information and intelligence related to Sega game consoles.

The owners of the video game stores also knew about the latest advertisement, so that night they rushed to their respective video game stores to urgently take out all Sega's inventory.

First, let’s put Sega’s game console in the most conspicuous position, second only to NGS.

Then I will display some of Sega’s well-known games.

Among them, the most displayed one is the King of Fighters.

As for those high-definition remastered games, they still have to wait two days. Sega is also rushing to produce cartridges. Production always takes time, and it is impossible to provide these games to them immediately.

Moreover, it is impossible for five games to be released at the same time. In order to maximize profits, each game must be separated by at least half a month to avoid collision with each other.

The money in the players' pockets cannot be emptied in one go, so they have to take their time.

Despite Sega's frantic rush to work, they finally successfully completed mass production of the cassette on the fourth day after the TV commercial was released.

Truckloads of cassettes have been transported to various places in Japan, and the owners of video game stores have long been looking forward to it.

No, not just video game store owners.

Standing with the bosses are some loyal Sega players.

"Boss, you said this game is completely different, right? Don't lie to me. I like Sega the most. I have never played any game other than Sega consoles!"

"Don't worry, the absolute quality this time is no problem, even better than NGS's games!"

The owner of the video game store swears by it.

He has played games on NGS many times, so he naturally knows how much improvements this high-definition reset version on Sega has.

Soon, the truck transporting cassettes stopped at the entrance of the video game store.

These customers couldn't even wait for the store manager to bring the cards into the warehouse, and immediately started placing orders at the door.

What they usually pursue is not that a certain game is particularly fun, they usually just simply like a certain platform.

It’s just that Sega is indeed very unbeatable at this time. Facing the big brother NGS, it has no power to fight back. These loyal Sega players can only hate that iron cannot become steel.

But now, they suddenly saw that several good-quality games were launched on Sega, and their joy was difficult to conceal.

That night, these players started the game in their respective homes and began to play this round of enhanced versions of a series of games.

Then, for the next few days, everything seemed to be calm.

It's like nothing happened.

But Sega has real-time sales statistics reports every day.

In Japan, the number of Sega game consoles currently in stock is about 4 million, while in Europe and Australia, the number is about 11.1 million.

Usually if a game can account for 10% of the sales volume in a region, then this game can be regarded as a hit for this machine.

And game monsters like Super Mario, with sales reaching tens of millions, are almost rare in this era.

After its first week, the first released game, Squirrel Wars Part 1, had sold 50,000 copies.

More than half of them are die-hard fans of the original Sega players, and they have been looking forward to a high-quality game for a long time.

The squirrel war was more like a sudden rain after a long drought, surprising and astonishing them.

Based on first-week sales, Sega's internal statistics indicate that sales in Japan should be guaranteed at 300,000, and may be even higher overseas.

Moreover, at the social level, Sega's trend is slowly changing.

The first ones to actively encourage are players who play both Sega and NGS.

Their feelings about the two platform games are the most direct.

Originally, they didn't want to spend any more money to play on Sega.

But I can't stand the bombardment of advertisements these days, and posters in major video game stores are trying their best to promote the remastered versions of these games.

In the end, they couldn't help but rush to the video game store to spend money. They wanted to see if these remastered versions were as described and the quality was top-notch.

Then once they got it in their hands, they realized the feedback from the game was better.

The first squirrel war itself still has some flaws.

For example, sound effects.

At that time, Zuo Zhen was doing it, and he was completely basing the sound effects on the experience of his previous life.

But he himself is not proficient in music.

And this time Xie Qin joined in the reset. As a full-time sound effects engineer, he at least has more time to delve into this field than Zuo Zhen.

The sound effects of Squirrel War have been improved the most after the remake.

The second is the refined game scenes and character actions.

Yu Mengchen, who already has a lot of experience in game production, has been able to create better graphics and animation effects than the first time he made a game.

Finally, there is the optimization of gameplay.

Add some additional small skills without changing the original game settings.

At the same time, we also made some adjustments to the generally low difficulty characteristics of the first Squirrel War BOSS to make the BOSS battle more complex. At least when played, the BOSS looks like a real end-level BOSS, rather than an enhanced version of the mini-BOSS. Elite monster.

Players who haven't played it before have no problem with it, while players who have played it will express surprise.

The game will be more fun if it has a certain level of difficulty, otherwise it would be really boring to push all the way.

In this comparison, this game is indeed much more fun than before. Although it has not achieved that kind of qualitative leap, it is much better than NGS.

Then, when the players had enough fun and recovered, the criticism of NGS finally came.

Especially the loyal players of NGS, they feel that they have been harmed.

We have spent a lot of money on NGS, but NGS itself is not living up to expectations. The performance of game consoles has become weak, but we still persist in making progress.

Look at Sega, from the original Mark 1 to the Mark 3, the performance has been further improved each time, allowing more room for gaming.

As for the NGS game console, it is really stingy!
