Chapter 122 Tsukino Aya's Coincidence (67)

In fact, if the game in the previous life was made normally, Dragon Quest 3 should have been the first game in the world where the main character is a woman.

In the previous life, the hero Loto in Dragon Quest 3 had a selectable gender.

However, Takeyusei deleted the option of changing gender after the modification.

In fact, he just wanted to give the title of the first female main character in the video game to Metroid again.

And it is obvious that Metroid's own character characteristics are more obvious than Dragon Quest, and Samus is more suitable to be the first controllable female main character in the video game.

On the day when Metroid was officially released, perhaps because of the final modification of the star rating of the game by Yi Nan Game Network, more people lined up to buy it than expected.

In the first five days of the release, the trial time of the game was also extended, and this time it finally allowed players to fully experience the fun of Metroid itself in advance.

Now, almost all the people who lined up to buy are people who are very interested in the game itself.

This time, in order to avoid the recurrence of the last fight, some major sales locations even hired several temporary security guards to maintain order.

This time, the people in the queue were indeed much more honest, and there was no recurrence of the last chaos.

Customers bought the game in an orderly manner, and those who bought the game happily took the game home and started to play it officially.

According to normal rules, it would take at least one day for these people to really play the ending of Metroid.

By then, there should be another small wave of enthusiasm.

And it just so happens that tomorrow is the day when the first video game program is broadcast.

For this reason, Takeyusei also revealed the secret of Metroid to the TV station staff in advance, so that they can plan the program in advance.

This made the TV station staff quite depressed.

This is passively accepting spoilers.

But there is no way, this is their job.

At the same time, various promotional materials were also arranged.

One day after Metroid was officially released, Metroid, which was previously promoted on billboards, subways, and TV stations, also took off her helmet and revealed her true face.

It was a sharp-eyed, heroic and blond woman.

In the video game business section of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun newspaper that day, the female image of Samus also occupied the entire page.

The world's first female video game hero, a controllable female hero!

An independent, powerful, handsome and dazzling female hero!

Tian Chong, who was in the newspaper office, looked at the page he edited with satisfaction.

At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart.

This Samus's image is really beautiful.

That kind of heroic feeling, coupled with her female identity, fully reflects the strong side of women.

Although the status of women in Japan is very low, this does not prevent people from yearning for such an image of a strong woman.

What is this? This is political correctness.

Those who saw the advertisement were also staring with their eyes wide open.

Almost every advertisement emphasizes that this is the world's first female video game hero, which has a very special symbolic meaning.

The strongest bounty hunter in the universe is a woman, which means that women also have their own strong side, right?

Before, people who were not interested in Metroid immediately decided to buy it.

Regardless of whether to play it or not, the unique meaning of this game alone is worth buying a box.

This also led to more players buying on the second and third days than on the first day.

The publicity effect this time was outstanding, and some people even began to praise Takeyusei.

They thought he was a person who was brave enough to make innovations and breakthroughs, and also a person who was brave enough to fight against tradition.

The first episode of Tokyo TV's video game program was also very effective.

The host and an employee of the publicity team of Yusei played Metroid in front of the TV.

The most attractive side of Metroid was presented to the audience.

At the same time, the employee also completed the game at the fastest speed, so that people could see Samus in a bikini.

Then the employee of the publicity team explained the way to trigger the ending of the game in front of the camera.

It was not until this moment that people finally realized that different completion times would affect the ending.

If you are a skilled enough player, you can actually see a bikini Samus with your own eyes.

Oh, my LSP soul had to burst out, and I had to complete the game quickly no matter what.

Even though the pixel-like picture is actually nothing good, the curiosity still makes many non-target group players actively contact this game.

And this also allows the charm of Metroid games to flourish.

Faced with the new tricks promoted by Youxing Company many times, companies such as Su Rui Electronics seem to have been calm for a long time.

They have to be calm, anyway, they can't surpass it, so they can only look up.

But this does not mean that they will give up the pursuit.

Not long after that, several game companies immediately announced that they would develop a female hero game to fully show the beauty of strong women.

In real society, women cannot really achieve equal rights, so let's show it well in the game.

The craze for the female hero Samus lasted for more than half a month, and the heat slowly subsided, and Metroid's first week sales data was also counted.

First week sales of 230,000.

At present, it is a high-quality game in the upper reaches.

Now, a game on the red and white machine that is above the passing line can have a first-week sales of about 100,000 to 150,000.

Fine games can hover between 150,000 and 200,000.

230,000 in the first week is already a high-quality game.

However, this should also be partly due to the bonus of the first female hero, which once again attracted a lot of non-targeted player groups.

Takeyusei is quite satisfied with this result.

Metroid's sales in the previous life were in the millions, and on average each one was just over a million.

And this is probably the potential of Metroid games. Unless there are some coincidences, it may be possible to reach sales of three or four million, but that requires a certain amount of luck.

As a participant, Tsukino Aya likes Metroid very much.

Because she thinks that the heroine Samus is very similar to herself.

She will wear thick clothes or armor to wrap herself tightly, and then take off the heavy clothes and armor when no one is around, so that she can have a chance to relax.

She even felt that this might be a character that President Takeyusei created on purpose, based on her.

No, it shouldn't be. After all, the president couldn't possibly know what she was like at home, and he couldn't possibly know that she would take off most of her clothes and relax herself as soon as she got home.

It should be just a coincidence.

Yeah, a coincidence.
