Chapter 242 A Kind of Sympathy First Update

The release date of the Three Kingdoms Overlord game is relatively ordinary, not a special day.

Mainly, Sega still wants to go head-to-head with NGS to see who can gain the upper hand in this competition.

The act of releasing two games of the same type together is actually not a good thing for both parties.

But Sega MD doesn't care about the success or failure of this game.

At the same time, Sega also assured Zuo Zhen that as long as the final quality of the game can be guaranteed, it will receive an additional 30% share on the basis of the original share.

This is basically equivalent to giving all the money Sega can earn to Zuozhen.

However, although the day is nothing special, today is a very special day in the minds of many players.

In the early morning, the man got up early, glanced at the clock, quickly washed up, and then rushed out of his home and ran to his car.

Start driving in one go.

Today he is going to the department store to pick up goods.

Take the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms he dreamed of.

Ever since he played Three Kingdoms Overlord, he joined Sega's camp without hesitation.

As for NGS.

It's really old hat.

Compared with the Sega MD, there is no advantage at all except that it has more games.

Maybe NGS games are cheaper, and there are many interesting ones, but who can resist the excellent picture quality?

If he were asked to choose between the two, he would definitely give priority to games that bring visual impact.

The Overlord of the Three Kingdoms has such ability.

In the early morning, men arrive here relatively early in the department store.

"There are actually people earlier than me."

The man was a little surprised, but he was not in a hurry. After all, he had made a reservation in advance and there was no need to queue up like now.

At the entrance of United Department Store, several image boards of the Three Kingdoms were also placed.

They were representatives of the three largest power camps of Wei, Shu and Wu.

The man can now barely recognize the main figures of these three forces.

It is really hard to imagine that I, an American, will one day know so much about the history of an Eastern country, or even be more familiar with the history of my own country.

This is all thanks to video games.

"Hello sir, do you want to buy Overlord of the Three Kingdoms?"

"Yes, I have made a reservation before, and this is my reservation ticket."

The man took out a coupon in his hand and showed it to the clerk.

The clerk immediately smiled and said: "Okay sir, thank you for your pre-order. We will send the game to you right now. You are the third one to pre-order, so you can get the game first."

The man was a little happy.

In the earliest days, a game reservation business was launched to promote the game.

However, later the department store discovered that the game seemed to be more popular than expected, so they stopped the pre-order plan in advance and only retained the first 100 pre-order customers as a thank you to them for pre-ordering in advance and also gave them some gifts. small gift.

The rest of the people naturally need to queue up to buy.

After all, long queues on release day are a good indication of a game's popularity.

At the same time, a similar scene was playing out in Japan.

Moreover, more players in Japan are paying attention to the Three Kingdoms Overlord game than expected.

This is the East Asian cultural circle, and the acceptance of Eastern culture is also higher.

And this has naturally become the main battlefield for NGS and Sega.

"Director Nakamura, this is the game of the Three Kingdoms Overlords."

At the door, a man ran in carelessly, holding a box of cassettes with the Three Kingdoms Overlord game in his hand.

"Plug it in and start it, everyone come over, let's take a good look at what this game really looks like."

Akira Nakamura is the person who pays the most attention to Zuo Zhen in NGS.

Because he knows Zuo Zhen’s strength best.

Although he had always felt that Zuo Zhen could not solve the problem of game capacity, after thinking about it carefully, he still had a bad feeling.

So on the day the game was released, he ordered someone to buy it back and study it carefully.

A group of people from the game department immediately gathered together and deliberately avoided people from other departments, appearing mysterious.

As the leader of the Sengoku war strategy game, Osaka naturally noticed the movement here, but he didn't take it too seriously.

Because he already felt that relying on the overwhelming publicity of NGS, the success of the game should be guaranteed.

As for Sega, he doesn't think Sega can really make a complete version of this game.

Unless Sega really wants to make money at a loss.

A cartridge only costs 5,000 yen, and in the United States it only costs 50 US dollars. This price proves that the capacity of this game is definitely not high.

"Mr. Osaka, congratulations. Your latest game has been released. It seems that you will be successful in the future."

At this time, some people within the company seemed friendlier than before after seeing Osaka.

Even his former boss in the hardware development department became polite when he saw him now.

He couldn't help but feel a little proud, and he had even begun to dream about how he would do something drastic when he became the next president.

First of all, let’s re-adjust the game department. Don’t engage in so many complex innovative game developments. There are so many ready-made good gameplays and ideas. Can’t we just copy them?

Relying on the huge installed capacity of NGS, and we will also have handheld and new high-performance host business in the future, what are we worried about?

Osaka was in a good mood throughout the whole day.

Especially before the end of the day, frontline data statistics have been summarized at the company headquarters.

From eight o'clock in the morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, the Warring States war strategy game in the United States and Japan sold more than 300,000 copies. If we work harder, one million sales should be very safe.

It is already quite good that such a niche war strategy game can have such sales, and Osaka believes that he has delivered a satisfactory answer.

However, just as he was preparing to go home and celebrate in the evening, people from the game department finally walked out of their departments one after another to get off work, and they all showed a hint of sympathy when they saw Osaka.

Osaka was a little confused and couldn't figure out why these people had such expressions.

Do I owe you money or something?

Why do they all have such expressions?

At this time, Nakamura Akira also walked out of the game department, and he seemed to be in a trance at this time.

The sharp-eyed Osaka noticed what Nakamura Akira was holding.

That's a cassette, and it's not an NGS cassette.

Is that... a Sega MD cartridge?

what's the situation?

Osaka was a little confused.

Why do you, an NGS person, hold a Sega MD cassette in the company now?

At this time, Akira Nakamura finally noticed Osaka not far away.

At that moment, he also showed a similar expression to his subordinate.

That's sympathy.
