Chapter 185 The Rebellious Game Fifth Update

Soon, the team began to move.

The door of the video game store was opened, and players poured in one after another.

"Store manager, I want to buy a cheap Sega game console, and that game that spans generations, the heavy-duty mech!"

"Is fifteen thousand yen enough? If not, I can increase the price!"

At NGS next door, game consoles are still selling for more than 10,000 yen.

A well-made role-playing game will cost more than 7,000 yen, which adds up to 20,000 yen.

That price doesn't include Sega's promised cross-generation gaming.

It is equivalent to buying a game and owning works from two eras at the same time.

Sega invested a lot of capital this time, and in the later stages, they even spent all the money they had saved to compete with NGS.

If it fails at this time, Sega will be completely defeated and never make a comeback.

Then the only way is to spend money and earn reputation.

Players’ choices are also very honest.

Cheap consoles, cheap games, and great-looking games all add up to a gateway to attract gamers.

On the first day of the release of Juggernaut, Sega's Mark series game consoles sold more than 300,000 units in Japan.

These more than 300,000 units are basically in a state of capital preservation or even a little loss.

However, these game consoles themselves are actually Sega's inventory.

Now that new game consoles are about to be released, dumping these old-era game consoles at low prices will also help clear inventory.

Then there are various games, all of which are also discounted.

There's even a bundle with the actual game series included.

You only need to add up the price of 25,000 yen, and you can get all the real games except Heavy Mecha. There are about ten games in total.

Mega Man Part 1, Squirrel Wars Part 2, Double Dragon, King of Fighters, Fire Emblem, and four board and Arkanoid games.

But these are just additions.

The real big deal is the heavily armed mechs.

On the first day, Juggernaut increased along with the increase in console sales.

In total, more than 400,000 copies were sold.

This result is considered good or bad.

Sega's hard-working publicity is definitely effective.

But even after spending so much money, it didn't work wonders. It can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

The pressure on NGS is still relatively high.

"Zuo Zhensang, we are already doing our best here. According to what you said, we have discounted the game to a certain extent and launched bundles. But in this way, the more we sell, the more we will earn. NGS is indeed too powerful. ”

On the third day of the sale, Gao Cunxiong called Zuozhen.

Zuo Zhen is now sitting in his office listening.

Just two days ago, they finally passed the approval and obtained a dedicated telephone line to overseas.

From now on, you no longer have to fight for a dedicated line with others.

However, the price of this dedicated line is also very expensive. Twenty yuan per minute does not involve bargaining at all.

The communications company didn't even give the local city hall face, so the money couldn't be less.

But Zuo Zhen no longer cares about the cost.

If spending this little money can bring you more benefits, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more.

With this phone line, Zuo Zhen can finally basically guarantee real-time communication with people overseas.

No longer have to set up a time to chat like in the past.

Just like Komura Yu said, NGS refuses to let go.

They use their huge game lineup to almost show off their power and attract the attention of those players.

Under such circumstances, it is actually quite good to be able to break out of the encirclement and obtain 400,000 sales on the first day.

According to estimates, subsequent sales may plummet, but it is still possible to achieve one million sales.

As one of the last games on Sega's old platform, getting another million-level sales volume is also a good publicity slogan.

Did you see that even our late-stage games can still sell millions of copies regardless of their quality?

But Sega will never mention the price it pays to achieve such sales.

They are completely losing money and making money.

Zuo Zhen said: "I can still think of some methods now, but the results of these methods may not be very good."

"What? Zuo Zhen-san, please tell me."

"That's the way to go for media evaluation. Don't you have a good relationship with TV Asahi? Can you find a way to get a time slot for the game to be played?"

Komura Yuichi was delighted: "This is a good idea. Why didn't I think of it before? I will contact my friends in the TV station."

Then he immediately asked: "Zuo Zhen, is there any other way?"

"The other option is to follow the path of review media. How about a review page for a game in a comic magazine?"

"Comic magazines? You mean advertising in comic magazines?"

Zuo Zhen shook his head: "It's not just as simple as advertising, but also reviews about this game, so that readers of comic magazines will not think that this is an advertisement, but a real recommendation."

"Well... isn't a game magazine more qualified for this job?"

"Would you be satisfied with just existing gamers?"

"That's... right."

Gao Cunxiong nodded slightly.

"Then I can also start promoting the promotion of comic magazines. Do you want game magazines to promote it as well?"

"Of course. This is also the main battlefield. BEEP magazine directly publishes a column for heavy-duty mechs. I...well, I have some strategy content about this game. I will fax it to you when the time comes and buy BEEP. Only the people at the magazine know the hidden secrets of these games, so that should be fine.”

"Okay! Then I'll make arrangements now!"

Komura immediately took action.

…

Hino grabbed the Juggernaut game cartridge that day.

Looking at the cannon tank cover on the cartridge that was opposite to the regular role-playing game Dragon Princess, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

Even at a discount, this thing sold for thousands of yen.

It's more or less not worth it.

But now that they have been bought, he can't say anything more.

So he simply inserted the game cartridge into the game console and played it first.

The game starts with a regular family start.

The old father wants to drive the child out and let him become a bounty hunter and carve out his own world in this wasteland.

At this time, Hino, who was mainly rebellious, suddenly returned from the outside. He wanted to see what the father had to say and whether he would react to seeing his child return.

There should be... no reaction.

Nowadays, video games are not that smart, and there are not so many redundant contents added. It is already very difficult to have a complete and smooth main plot.

However, when he returned home and saw his father, there was an additional option in his conversation.

Retreat.

He chose this option by accident.

Then, the character in the game, Dad, sighed.

"Hey...since you insist, this is the only way."

These words were full of disappointment for his child, but there also seemed to be a little bit of helplessness.

Then, the game ends and the game's final settlement screen appears.

The game...is over.

Hino:? ? ?
