Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 214 Four Turtles Beat Superheroes Violently
Hideki Hanyu was supposed to return to Silicon Valley after the exhibition, but stayed in Las Vegas for another day for other reasons.

When he returned to Silicon Valley Genie Entertainment America, Michael Katz told him that the negotiations with Best Buy Group had basically been concluded.

"Except for the stores we have confirmed in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, the Electronic Pet Poké Ball will be counted from the official store in the Best Buy store. It will not cooperate with other retailers for four months. The discount promotion fee will be borne by the Best Buy store. Bear, we each bear half of the publicity costs, the payment settlement period is 35 days, and..."

Michael Katz stated the terms of the final negotiation.

The conditions in the latter details are not important, but the conditions in the front are the key.

Michael Katz seized the opportunity of Best Buy Group's eager transformation and helped Genie Entertainment achieve great benefits.

"Mr. Katz, you did a great job." Hideki Hanyu said with satisfaction.

"However, in order to cooperate with Best Buy's distribution, the confirmed release time will be postponed to early July." Michael Katz said.

"It doesn't matter, the cooperation with Best Buy is more important."

"It's a pity that in order to reach a cooperation, the shipping price was lower than expected. Our gross profit for an electronic pet is only nine dollars at most."

"If the market is good enough, after four months, other dealers should be able to make more money."

"The retail price has been determined, even if it is raised, it will be at most one or two dollars."

"Mr. Katz, compared to Maori, we should be thankful that at least the tax rate is not as terrible as it used to be."

Hanyu Hideki made a joke.

"Yeah, we caught up with a good time."

Michael Katz also laughed when he heard the words. He has been in the retail industry for many years, but he has experienced the horrible tax rates during the Cold War.

In order to solve the increasingly severe stagflation problem in America in the 70s, Reagan put forward various measures to promote the economy after he came to power.

Tax cuts are one of them.

Genie Entertainment America is just in time.

Through R&D investment, corporate splitting and other means, with the help of professional accounting, various tax avoidances are carried out.

For example, the project team in the R&D center that was responsible for the development of graphics chips was once again independent, and "Elf Vision" was established.

Then, with the help of the policy of encouraging venture capital investment, the profits from Elf Entertainment are used to invest in new companies.

Naturally, Hideki Hanyu couldn't handle these twists and turns.

But just like in Neon, if he doesn't understand, he can pay someone who understands to help.

When everyone is eating policy dividends, he naturally can't miss it.

It's just a pity that he didn't know much about the high-tech companies born in Silicon Valley in the 80s.

The ones I am familiar with are also those Internet companies in the 90s.

Therefore, it is clear that America's policy encourages venture capital investment, and he also has a lot of money in his hand, but he doesn't know who to invest in.

Hideki Hanyu and Michael Katz finished talking about the cooperation of Best Buy Group.

He also called Satoru Iwata to help him recruit professional painters to prepare for the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Afterwards, he did not intervene in the management of Fairy Entertainment America.

Instead, he led Tajiri Tomo and Sugimori Ken into the R&D center.

While helping the two to understand the design of the game boy handheld, he explained the design ideas of the "Pokémon" game.

These two are worthy of being the creators of "Pokémon". To many outsiders, Hanyu Hideki seems to be a bit counterintuitive.

Not only can the two accept it easily, especially Satoshi Tajiri, even after a little research, they can draw inferences about other cases from one instance.

After getting along for a few days, the relationship between the three of them gradually became familiar.

Tajiri Tomo and Sugimori also gradually realized that Hideki Hanyu, the chairman of the famous writer, is actually very easy to get along with.

It's not like those old-school entrepreneurs in Neon who like to put on airs and talk about their qualifications.

When discussing game design, whether it is right or wrong, it will be accepted frankly.

When others have suggestions, they will listen patiently, even if they do not agree, they will give reasons.

He never uses his identity to force others to accept his ideas and ideas.

Understand, but respect.

Not too close, not deliberately keep a distance.

Does not emphasize identity, but has an extraordinary personality charm.

Tajiri Tomo and Sugimori feel very happy to get along with such a boss.

It's a pity that such a happy time is always limited.

In less than a week, I fully understood the design of the Game Boy and mastered Hideki Hanyu's game design outline.

Satoshi Tajiri and Takeshi Sugimori, along with two other Neon Software programmers, are returning to Neon.

Officially started the game development of the first generation of "Pokémon".

Before leaving the hotel, they were going to say goodbye to Hideki Hanyu.

Several people came to the top floor of the hotel where they were staying, in front of Hideki Hanyu's suite.

Knocking on the door, Hideki Hanyu opened the door after a while.

"Aren't you on the plane in the afternoon? Why haven't you left yet?"

Hideki Hanyu asked curiously.

"Let's bid farewell to President Hanyu," said Tajiri Satoshi, the leader.

"That happens to be something I have here, you can help me take it back."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he invited several people into the suite.

The size of the suite is not too big, apart from Hanyu Hideki's bedroom, there is the living room and balcony outside.

The hotel has four floors, and it was afternoon at this time. After entering the room, several people saw that the afternoon sun had dyed the balcony and the living room golden.

And in the golden living room and balcony, there are many miscellaneous things.

Easels, drawing boards of different sizes, palettes, empty paint tubes and brushes randomly thrown on the floor.

If it is not too messy, it is a manuscript paper full of words and pictures.

Inadvertently looking at it, I found that there were all kinds of content on these draft papers.

Some are apparently manuscripts of picture books written by Hideki Hanyu.

There are also graphic manuscript papers such as game design.

There are also some drawings of turtles holding weapons, like original comics.

On the easel at the balcony, you can also see a small painting.

Moonlit night, snowy fields, owls, and large and small figures holding hands.

Tajiri Satoshi knew that after Hideki Hanyu came to America, he would be busy in the hotel if he had nothing to do.

But I didn't expect the other party to come up with so many things in a short period of time.

It is estimated that after finishing work, I have been busy creating when I returned to the hotel.

It's no wonder that after returning from Las Vegas, the spirit seems a little not very good.

On the floor in the middle of the living room of the suite, you can also see an open suitcase.

It seems that Hideki Hanyu is also packing up his things and preparing to leave.

"Is President Hanyu leaving too?" Satoshi Tajiri asked curiously.

"Invited by the Neon Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there will be a cultural exchange event in New York tomorrow, and the plane is tonight."

Hideki Hanyu answered the questions while selecting something to give to Tajiri Tomo and the others from the manuscript paper.

He was so busy here in Silicon Valley that he almost forgot the time. If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hadn't contacted him personally, he would have almost forgotten about the cultural exchange.

After searching for a while, he handed the two documents to Satoshi Tajiri.

"Please, Tajiri-san, hand over these two documents to Kitahara-san."

Tajiri Satoshi didn't ask what the document was, and directly agreed, "President Hanyu, don't worry, I will hand it over to President Kitahara."

In the file bag are two game design projects.

The first one is an extension of "Mario Brothers" and "Dr. Mario" designed with reference to Tetris.

The second one is the pioneering work of the famous hot-blooded series, "Hot-Blooded Hardcore".

Under the leadership of Takashi Nishiyama, Divine Studio continues to develop "Kung Fu 2".

After Shinhwa Studio and Miracle Studio jointly developed "Kung Fu: Death Breakthrough", they are planning and designing new games, but a large number of developers are idle.

Hideki Hanyu decided to find something to do for these two studios.

The previous "Mario Brothers" was developed by Horii Yuji's Shinhwa Studio, and this time "Doctor Mario" happened to be handed over to Shinhwa Studio.

"Hot-Blooded Hardcore" was naturally handed over to Toshihiko Nakago's magical studio.

After handing over the documents to Satoshi Tajiri, and sending the two away, Hideki Hanyu continued to pack things.

By the way, he took down the small painting on the easel and put it away carefully.

This is what he prepared for tomorrow's exchange meeting.

To the outside world, it is said to be the manuscript of "Owl Under the Moon".

After packing up his things, Hanyu Hideki stretched greatly, and yawned a little tiredly.

After returning from Las Vegas, I was in a bad state. After returning to Silicon Valley, I was busy working during the day and creating at night, and I didn’t have a good rest.

In the evening, take a plane across the North American continent.

Think of the cultural exchange activities that will start tomorrow.

Sure enough, as he thought, the busyness began after leaving Las Vegas.

It was already midnight when Hideki Hanyu arrived in New York after a six-hour flight.

After a comfortable night's sleep, he contacted the person in charge of the exchange activity early the next morning and sent over the drawing.

Finally, the sponsor's pigeons were not released.

The first day was simply an exhibition of works, all he could do was to show up, publicize, and accept media interviews.

The picture book market in Europe and the United States is quite mature. Hideki Hanyu just won an award, and under the publicity of many parties, he is also somewhat famous.

The most important thing is that among the cultural celebrities who came to communicate, in terms of appearance, Hanyu Hideki is the best.

Therefore, not only paper media like to interview him.

Even NHK TV had a live broadcast with him.

In short, he was in America, but he slammed the popularity of Neon once.

In particular, NHK took a picture of many American book fans surrounding Hideki Hanyu's signature and sending back neon signs.

Satisfied the vanity of many neon people.

Hideki Hanyu's reputation in Neon has once again risen a bit.

In the auction session on the second day, the original manuscript of "Owl under the Moon" prepared by Hideki Hanyu sold for US$17.

Although it was later learned that the buyer was an unknown neon businessman.

But Hideki Hanyu still feels a bit exaggerated.

He just drew a small picture at random, and he himself felt that it was a bit perfunctory.

To be able to sell so much money.

This gave him the idea of ​​switching careers to become a painter.

Of course, that's just thinking.

Of course he knew that this price was unreal.

On the one hand, it is due to the identity of the buyer, and on the other hand, it is due to the influence brought by the award-winning works.

However, the proceeds from these auctions will not be given to him directly, but will be donated to UNICEF.

This is also one of the purposes of this cultural exchange activity.

The donation of real money and active participation in activities, coupled with Hideki Hanyu's identity as a famous children's picture book author.

Of course, the Foundation will not simply let him go.

Hideki Hanyu was awarded the title of National Goodwill Ambassador on the spot.

Hang on to the lowest rank of ambassador.

It seems to be telling Hideki Hanyu that if he wants to become a regional-level goodwill ambassador or an international-level goodwill ambassador, then he should work hard to participate in the promotion of activities.

Facing the interview, Hideki Hanyu certainly expressed various honors.

At the same time, he said that he will actively participate in various children's public welfare activities.

After all, as a celebrity, this kind of thing has to be involved to some extent.

It's hard to finish two days of activities.

Michael Katz's phone call came back, and Pokémon, the elf pet, officially launched in the United States.

In order to cooperate with Best Buy Group, the time has been delayed for so long.

However, Hideki Hanyu did not rush back to Silicon Valley immediately after hearing the news.

Instead, I found several stores in New York that sold electronic pet pokemon balls.

Those small stores that get their goods through the elf entertainment distribution channel were arranged before.

There are very few publicity methods in these stores, the most is hanging posters or something.

But when he came to a Best Buy store.

But I saw various advertisements pasted on the wall and hung up.

There is even a special TV in the store, playing three TV commercials continuously.

Rows of electronic pet pokemon bodies are also placed on the most conspicuous shelves.

Even as soon as he walked in, some service staff came forward to sell him electronic pokemon balls.

It can be seen that Best Buy is really optimistic about the electronic pet Poké Ball, and put all the transformation opportunities of expanding business on the electronic pet Poké Ball.

Hideki Hanyu took a brief look, and the feedback from buyers who tried it in the store was good, but the sales volume was not so good.

But considering that the Poké Ball can be connected online, once this unique social design takes advantage.

The follow-up power and playability are definitely stronger than that of Tamagotchi.

In addition to relying on Best Buy's store promotion, the American branch of Spirit Entertainment will naturally not do nothing.

After the listing, the publicity expenses alone exceeded 150 million US dollars.

TV commercials, outdoor print ads, and news media hype about electronic life.

All the staff in the sales department are working hard.

And Hideki Hanyu.

After returning to Silicon Valley from New York, he entered the hotel and continued to immerse himself in creation.

A few days later, he took the results to the America headquarters of Spirit Entertainment.

Office of Michael Katz.

"Did the sales statistics report from Best Buy come over?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"There is only an approximate number, no more than [-] units." Michael Katz said.

"So little?" Hanyu Hideki frowned.

According to a Best Buy report, more than 170 stores have Poke Balls on their shelves.

So many publicity expenses are spread out.
It took only a week to sell such a small amount. On average, a store only sells about six units a day.

I am used to the sales volume of several million a week like Tamagotchi.

This sales figure made him a little hard to accept.

"Counting our channels in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York, the sales volume is likely to exceed [-] units, which is a good start."

Michael Katz said.

Hideki Hanyu thought to himself, [-] units is also a good start.

Sales of $30 were pitifully small compared to the money he had invested.

Seeing this, Michael Katz continued to explain patiently.

"Our product is something that America has never had before. It takes time for customers to get familiar with it, and online social interaction needs to reach a certain scale to be reflected. The market characteristics of America and Neon are different. Electronic products are influenced by Atari. The impact of the shock is greater."

Hideki Hanyu can only believe what Michael Katz said, "It seems that we can only continue to wait."

"There is no product that can be judged success or failure in a week. Our marketing department has been doing surveys, and the feedback from consumers is still very good, so we can't panic, do our own things according to the plan, and just wait for word of mouth to spread."

After Michael Katz finished speaking, Hideki Hanyu handed over the things he had completed in the past few days.

"I discussed with Iwata before, and decided to use a comic that is more suitable for the American style to promote the popularity of Pokémon comics. This is the work I prepared. Mr. Katz, please take a look first."

Michael Katz took the thing, it was a folder, opened it and saw that there was thick manuscript paper inside.

The cover features four turtles holding weapons and the name Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Looking carefully, he found that it was a cartoon.

The four tortoises mutated due to scientific experiments live in the sewers of New York under the guidance of the mouse master, and fight against the evil Bigfoot gang.

The characters of the four turtles are pleasing, and the story is witty and interesting. Michael Katz read it without knowing it.

What made him uncomfortable was that Hideki Hanyu only drew the first two episodes of the story.

All subsequent stories are comic book scripts.

"A very imaginative story. Mr. Hanyu, your creative ability is really great, but it's a pity that you don't draw a lot."

Michael Katz said and put down the folder, "Mr. Hanyu asked Iwata to recruit professional painters for this manga."

"That's right, Mr. Katz thinks this manga will be popular?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"Before the comic is released, no one can be sure whether it will be popular. Not enough, I like this interesting style very much, and I believe my children will like it too."

"In that case, then I will implement it according to my idea." Hideki Hanyu got up and was going to find Satoshi Iwata.

It was Michael Katz who said, "Mr. Hanyu, please wait a moment."

"Anything else?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

"Game Base Magazine has introduced funds from Academic Publishing House according to your request. If Mr. Hanyu wants to increase the popularity of Pokémon with this manga, he can use Game Base to distribute it nationwide through the channels of Academic Publishing House. Relying on comics alone to attract readers is still too slow.”

Michael Katz gives advice.

"I see." Hideki Hanyu replied.

Academic Press, one of the largest English-language publishing houses in the world.

This publishing house is responsible for the distribution of the entire series of Harry Potter books in America.

Pity.

He has only seen the Harry Potter series, and he doesn't know much about the original books.

Otherwise, if this IP can be obtained, there will be another hen that lays golden eggs.

The idea flashed away, but Hanyu Hideki didn't take it to heart.

He is not a greedy person.

There are so many memories in my mind, except for what I need, I never thought of keeping them all for myself.

Otherwise, let go of copying, and it will not be a problem to produce more than ten or twenty literary works a year.

Even for picture books, I used to be more diligent in creating them.

Now that I have made a lot of money, I have gradually become more salty.

The editors at the Elementary School Museum were almost driven into autism by him.

After finding Satoru Iwata, he handed over the manga story script to the professional painters he recruited, and then began to implement it according to the plan.

Like Neon's model, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is also authorized to be created by the newly established 'TMNT Studio'.

Since Hanyu Hideki has finished creating the first two stories, there is no need to wait for the progress of the studio.

Therefore, the first issue of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" comic magazine bundled with "Pokémon" was released in the second week after the Poke Ball was launched.

With the help of "Game Base" in the channel of academic publishing houses, it began to distribute in the United States.

Along with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the animatronic Pokémon made it through its second week of sales.

Although compared with the sales volume of just over [-] in the first week, the sales volume in the second week has increased.

But only [-] units were sold
Best Buy Group plus Genie Entertainment America's channels in three major cities.

Millions of advertising investment.

It only sold more than 4 units in half a month.

Sales in the early part of one million.

It seems to have doubled, but the problem is compared with the publicity costs invested by the two companies and the huge scale of publicity.

This sales performance is simply appalling.

For a while, Elf Entertainment and Best Buy Group became the laughing stock of the industry.

Especially those retailers who have been in contact with Elven Entertainment before, thank Best Buy Group for helping them find their way.

Otherwise, it might be even worse if it were replaced by them.

Faced with such a situation, there are also strange voices within the Best Buy Group.

Especially in the board of directors, many directors criticized Bratt Anderson who promoted the cooperation.

Although Bratt Anderson tried his best to refute it, emphasizing that the consumer feedback of the Poke Ball is very good, and sales are steadily increasing.

But the poor sales, compared with Best Buy's huge investment, made Bratt Anderson's argument very unconvincing.

At the critical moment when the director requested to stop the cooperation immediately and stop the loss in time.

The chairman who has always been very optimistic about Bratt Anderson, who promoted him all the way from an ordinary salesman, gave Bratt Anderson support and reluctantly allowed the cooperation to continue.

However, both the chairman and Bratt Anderson understand that if the sales of electronic pet Poke Balls cannot be improved.

Then the next time those people on the board of directors attack again, they will not be able to persist anymore.

At the same time, although there was some pessimism within Spirit Entertainment America due to poor sales.

But compared to Best Buy Group, the executives of Elven Entertainment are more optimistic.

Judging by consumer feedback, Michael Katz firmly believes that the Poké Ball will be a success.

In the face of danger, he commanded the entire sales department and carried out various publicity work as planned.

As for Hideki Hanyu, he doesn't worry about specific work.

Michael Katz is confident in sales.

He is confident in the IP of "Pokémon" and the acclaimed electronic pet Poké Ball.

Besides, even if he jumped up and down anxiously, it would not have any effect other than affecting the mentality of the employees.

Therefore, he simply turned his attention elsewhere.

The first is the release of the comic book "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

It is different from the tepid early stage of the electronic pet Poke Ball.

Upon its release, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles became an instant hit with comic book fans.

The first printing and distribution of [-] copies sold out in just three days.

An additional [-] copies were printed and sold out again four days later.

In a week, 15 copies were sold.

Although it is not as good as those top-level comics, in today's era of sluggish American comics market.

Such a sales volume for a nascent manga is enough to make the industry pay attention.

Many people in the industry are analyzing the reasons.

They found that when the dark and violent style of comics is popular nowadays, to please the adult market.

The witty and humorous story style of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", as well as the four turtles' personalities like ordinary high school students, seem so different.

It is this kind of alternative that contributed to the good sales of "Ninja Turtles".

If Hanyu Hideki imitated the mainstream painting style from the beginning.

It needs to compete with giants like DC and Marvel for the inherent adult comic readers.

The development model is the same as that of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in the previous life. It took a year or two to gain a firm foothold by leveraging the market a little bit.

But now this kind of witty and humorous story, the four turtles have a character like middle school students, which gives young people a strong sense of substitution.

Another way to bypass the competition with the giants, opened up the exclusive "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" market.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" got off to a good start.

Sales of electronic pet Poké Balls fell instead of rising.

Only [-] units were sold in the United States in the third week.

The pressure on Bratt Anderson from the Best Buy Group's board of directors has once again increased.

After repeated inquiries, Bratt Anderson began to fall into self-doubt, whether his judgment was wrong.

Is the Poke Ball an electronic product that has a good reputation but no sales?

Not only the Best Buy Group, but even the employees of Fairy Entertainment America began to panic.

Even though Michael Katz is still reassuring people, it is still difficult to cover up the poor sales.

Huge investment back and forth, once the electronic pet Poké Ball fails.

No one can guarantee whether Elven Entertainment will go bankrupt like other companies.

Now that the Atari shock is raging, everyone can no longer stand the toss.

No one wants to lose a hard-won stable job.

At this critical moment, Hideki Hanyu's eyes turned to Neon.

Eri Kitahara reported to him that Nintendo's channel business alliance "Chuxinhui" collectively worked hard.

Family Computer host.

It's officially on sale.

The FC red and white machine that occupies an indelible position in the history of the game.

finally come!

Even Hideki Hanyu took away the game "Mario Brothers".

However, among the games released by Nintendo in the previous life, there was no "Mario Brothers".

Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong, and Popeye.

Helping the sales of FC mainframe break through [-] in the first week.

On the Osaka Stock Exchange, Nintendo's stock price soared.

Then he received a call from Shinbo Eiichi.

On the overseas phone call, Jinboying yelled at Hideki Hanyu, "Boss, you're crazy!"

"I know, let's start liquidation according to the plan."

Hanyu Hideki's voice was calm.

"Is this going to be liquidated?" Even though Hanyu Hideki was promised to carry out the plan.

But watch the accounts he operates make billions of yen a day.

Eiichi Jinbo is still a little hard to let go.

Of course, Hideki Hanyu knows that after Nintendo's stock price rises, not only will it continue to be stable, but it will also pay various dividends in the next two years.

But that meant nothing to Hideki Hanyu.

What he wants is not a dividend, but a large amount of liquid money.

And since the beginning of the American strategic plan, Nintendo has been his biggest opponent.

At this time, holding the other party's stock is to make yourself soft-hearted?

And he also knows that Nintendo will recall all consoles because of the quality of the consoles in a few months.

At that time, the stock price will fall back a little.

If you don't seize the time to clear the warehouse, it will be difficult to run away at that time.

"I know the boss, I will follow the plan."

After receiving the guarantee from Jinbao Eiichi, Hanyu Hideki ended his attention to neon.

The FC mainframe has appeared, no matter how afraid he is, it's useless, just do his own thing according to the plan.

Of course, he knew about the decline in sales of the electronic pet Poké Ball in the third week.

But in the face of this situation, he is also powerless and can only maintain the same attitude as Michael Katz.

And personally came forward to appease the employees, ensuring that no matter how the sales of Poké Balls are, Pokemon Entertainment America will not close down.

This reassured the employees a little.

At this time, the story of the first issue of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" also ended the sales period of the second week.

Due to the good sales in the first week, Academic Publishing House stepped up publicity investment in the second week.

That ultimately helped Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sales rise again to 25 copies in its second week.

After two weeks of spreading, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles story finally started to catch on among young people.

The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" comic magazine also broke into the national sales chart for the first time, and began to attract the attention of the media.

Time entered the third week, and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" began to release a new second story.

Of course, the first issue that still has sales is also released simultaneously.

It has been a big hit for two weeks in a row, and Academic Press continues to increase resources to promote "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

The media became curious about "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and made various reports.

In addition, it does not compete with mainstream comics for the adult market, and focuses on young readers,

And with its unique story style, it has gained a good reputation among them.

Influenced by the youth group, adults also noticed this comic.

Adult comic fans also find it quite interesting to see the dark style of fighting and killing, and suddenly change the taste.

then.

A miracle happened!

Three reprints in a single week!

Together, the two issues of comics have created a terrifying sales volume of 76 copies!
The four little turtles pressed DC and Marvel superheroes to the ground and beat them violently!

The New York Times even directly drew the scene of four turtles beating up a group of superheroes on the front page.

This directly led to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" becoming the hottest topic in America at the end of July.

Everyone is talking about the four tortoises who look like the boys next door.

Teenagers imitate the grooming of four turtles.

Adults were amused by the plot and laughed out loud.

Even the martial arts gyms in Chinatowns around the world saw the right time and launched a training course for the four turtles to be good at weapons.

Faced with such a situation, Michael Katz was a little dazed.

Isn't it said that this comic is to help Pokeball promote the popularity of "Pokémon"?

Why are you so angry yourself?

Those toy makers with dog noses have already called to inquire about cooperation.

After all, in name, TMNT Studio is still under the banner of Spirit Entertainment.

Even Brat Anderson tactfully stated that it is impossible to develop a digital pet with four ninja turtles.

Even if there is no research and development, just let the wind out, and then give a cooperation intention for exclusive sales.

He can also account to the board of Best Buy Group.

But Brat Anderson didn't dwell on the issue for too long.

Because with the sales summary of the electronic pet Poké Ball in the fourth week, it was released.

He understood that he didn't need to find a reason to explain to the board of directors.

Hideki Hanyu originally released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Just to bundle and promote "Pokémon".

Although the styles of the two comics are completely different, the excellence of the "Pokémon" comics is beyond doubt.

After watching "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", readers will inevitably turn to the accompanying "Pokémon" comics.

And as long as comic fans read it, they will still find it very interesting.

After that, I couldn't help becoming interested in the electronic pet Pokéball developed according to "Pokémon".

Then found that the price of this thing is not high, but after $29, it is easy to get parents to agree to buy one.

It's not a worrying Atari video game anyway.

In the end, when more and more people buy, add the people who bought before.

The unique online battle socialization began to exert its power.

Raise pets by yourself, and find friends with poke balls to connect with.

Friends have high levels and cannot be beaten.

Then work hard to raise pets, then upgrade, and then find friends to fight.

My friend's Pokémon has evolved!
The attack effects are different, and they still can't beat them.

Then continue to raise pets, fight, and work hard to upgrade.

Keep raising and raising, and gradually develop some feelings.

Some people want a different Pokémon, but are reluctant to reset the Pokémon they have raised for a long time, so they simply beg their parents to buy another one.

Anyway, one is only $29.

Even children from wealthy families will directly buy 24 Pokémon Balls in order to make up enough red/green Poké Balls for a total of 24 types of Pokémon.

Moreover, the owner of the Poké Ball will naturally attract more people to join when they are engaged in cultivation battles.

And the more people around you play, the more people you will attract.

And that's it, Best Buy's fourth-week sales roundup.

The sales of the electronic pet Poké Ball directly broke through the [-] mark!
Then time enters the fifth week.

The first two issues of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" continue to sell well.

And what about the electronic pet Pokéball?
Just look at the queues in front of every Best Buy store.

out of stock!

out of stock!

Still out of stock!

In the fifth week of its launch, sales of electronic pet Poke Balls doubled again.

Sales of 21 units in a single week.

It directly broke down the logistics of the Best Buy store.

face such a situation.

Best Buy Group and Elf Entertainment America are cheering.

Best Buy Group has taken the first step of a successful transformation.

Elf Entertainment America is no different.

In addition to being happy, Michael Katz urged the Neon headquarters to speed up production.

Because according to the current situation, the first batch of Poké Balls produced may only last for two weeks.

now.

The time has entered August.

Hideki Hanyu, who was finally relieved, returned to Tokyo after staying in America for almost two months.

　Thanks for the reward of slow travel book sea
