Chapter 196 Beat You to Death (Fourth Update)

According to Sega's statistics, a total of about hundreds of thousands of Sega Mark series game consoles have been sold in the United States.

Compared with the NGS game console that has sold over 10 million in the United States, it is really only a fraction.

Among the hundreds of thousands of sales, there are still close to 100,000 players who purchased the heavy-duty mechs released in the last month.

It can be seen that this game is indeed very attractive to American children.

The unique apocalyptic worldview just fits well with the current mainstream aesthetics in the United States.

This aesthetic trend was developed from a film and television series called Mad Max.

The character Max in the movie and TV series is doing chivalry in a wasteland that has become an apocalypse, just like the character in Juggernaut.

With the blessing of Mad Max, American children are particularly fond of heavy robots.

This is good news.

It was also because of this sales that Komura decided to increase the launch of the product in the American market.

It's a pity that NGS forcibly blocked their promotion, so the final sales of the Mark series of game consoles were basically fixed at hundreds of thousands of units.

It’s already a bit difficult to sell more.

As the American branch of BEEP magazine, the magazines they publish recently focus on Sega games.

Sega games are tepid in the United States, and their magazine work is relatively leisurely. They don't even need to write content as often as Japanese editors. They only need to translate Japanese magazine content and sell it for money.

The entire company has no more than five employees.

Everyday life can be described as quite leisurely.

However, this leisurely life finally came to an abrupt end with the release of a game.

The editor who was responsible for translating the Heavy Marine column now wished he could go back in time and delete that column on the spot.

Because of this column, their workload has increased sharply these days.

There are a lot of inquiries on the phone every day, and they are all asking about the story of the red wolf branch of the heavy machine soldiers.

This branch makes many players who have played it very sad, because many players of this branch even actively want to find Sega, hoping to keep Red Wolf alive.

In the original plot, the red wolf will definitely be killed in the plot.

This is the reason for the story itself, which is to allow players to see some of the helplessness of this world from the perspective of a bystander.

There are always people you can't save, and there are always stories that are less than perfect.

But Zuo Zhen actually still wants to give this story at least a satisfactory ending that can be told.

The red wolf can survive and have a perfect ending.

But this ending will definitely not be that easy.

If players really want to see with their own eyes that Red Wolf can survive, they must pay a sufficient price.

The perfect ending must also have a painful process.

"You ask me about Red Wolf's follow-up strategy? I haven't even gotten this strategy yet, how can I give it to you?"

"Yes, reader, I don't have any story endings related to the red wolf. Please wait patiently."

"What? You said you can't wait? Sorry, there's nothing I can do about it. Japan's BEEP magazine just gave us this issue, and we have to wait two days for the next one."

The calls were hung up one by one, and the content of the final consultation finally died down after several days of tossing.

In the past few days, they have received more than a thousand calls per person, which is crazy!

Is this game really that fun? So many people want to know the follow-up story...

Well, it's actually kind of fun.

These editors also started playing two heavy mechs, and then discovered that it was not unreasonable for these players to like this game.

This game is indeed quite attractive.

However, it is absolutely impossible for them to announce the follow-up strategies in advance right now.

In fact, they already have all the subsequent strategy content on hand.

But they just don't tell their readers.

What if I tell them this and they stop buying my magazine?

And not telling also has a small sense of revenge in it.

Let you guys call us like crazy, and we will hang on to you with appetite.

Just to make you unhappy!

In the next few days, players who played the Heavy Mechs were all confused. They tried countless ways to find a way for the Red Wolf to survive.

Some people are even considering whether to go to Japan and go there in person to get first-hand strategies for heavy-duty mechs.

However, the magazine will only publish a follow-up in the next few days.

Because this game magazine is a weekly in the United States, they can only wait patiently.

This wait lasted several days.

During this period, people including Luke were still looking for follow-up plots about the red wolf.

The neighbor's children wanted to come over to play several times, but Luke refused them outright. He had more important things to study now, and he had no time to let the little kid play his own games.

And the more this happened, the more Luke's neighbor's children were eager to play with it, and it even became a kind of obsession for him.

Decades later, when he became an adult and had money at his disposal, his childhood obsession exploded and he transformed into a senior gamer.

However, after all, this kind of thing is only active in a small circle.

Sega's sales market is not big, and coupled with the suppression of NGS, there is basically not much room for survival in the United States.

In this era, NGS is still the leader after all.

Japan's Sega is thinking about this and doesn't know how to deal with it.

As for NGS, their mentality has changed since they gained an absolute advantage in the United States.

They began to publicly declare in some media channels that they were the orthodox in the game industry. Other game companies only allowed them to make games, and those who wanted to make game consoles to compete with them would not end well.

I don't see Sega.

He used to be so arrogant, but he was still submissive and suppressed by us.

This declaration was first made to Sega to make him realize the power of NGS.

The second is to show it to your partners, so that they can understand that working against you will not end well.

As for the genius game developer, sooner or later he will completely disappear from everyone. No matter how talented the game developer is, what will happen?

Without a high-quality gaming platform, everything is in vain.

At the same time, this was not over yet. NGS once again announced that it was ready to re-enter the European market, and this time they brought some of Europeans' favorite game types.

Football games, fighting games.

And a latest game just released by NGS.

A work that looks very similar to Contra in appearance.

No, it can't be said that it's close. It should be said that it's almost exactly the same.

NGS is very confident and is planning to rely on these to capture the European market, leaving Sega completely unable to turn around.
