Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Chapter 205

“EX curry stick!”

“When a person is killed, he dies.”

"I hold the sword of bones, the steel of my body, and the fire of my blood."
.
"Shanmu's new handheld GG is about to be officially released!" 》

"NICO handheld console WS3 comes out shockingly!" 》

"NICO President Hiroki Takehiko attended the new phone launch conference! 》

"Shanmu joins hands with SATE and Juyin to hold a new phone launch conference! 》

"Fate/stay night, another masterpiece from top gamer Tetsu Fuyukawa, will soon be available on the GG handheld console. The work has a capacity of over 20G, with over a thousand exquisite CGs created by the famous painter Yuzu, and the plot is also personally directed by Tetsu Fuyukawa! A cross-generational Galgame produced by a top game producer with sales of million, sells for less than yen. Are you sure you don’t want to try it? ! 》

The next day, all available subway stations, advertising signs outside office buildings and even 3D screens in Tokyo were rented by NICO and the Hawaii Game Alliance.

For no other reason than the two new handheld consoles are about to be released. For handheld consoles, the most critical thing is market share in the early stages of release. This is a snowballing problem. Once the market share of handheld consoles is high, there will be more third-party manufacturers that will rely on them later. And once the sales volume cannot beat the opponent's, let alone those third-party manufacturers, one's own military morale may be weakened.

Galgame is not a track with a large audience, but this type of game is very suitable for playing on a handheld console. Handheld consoles, consoles, and PCs seem to be the same type, all game platforms, but in fact they are completely different.

When players buy a console, they first look at the performance and price, and the second is word-of-mouth and sales. The latter is even more critical. People are like this, it's like going out for a late night snack. Unless there is a familiar shop, people tend to choose barbecue stalls with more customers.

After seeing these videos, Fuyukawa Tetsuto went numb. He wanted to kick Sato Fujiko's door that night.

No need to worry about too many debts, no need to worry about too many lice. Seeing that the discussion on FATE was rising steadily, Fuyukawa Teru accepted it, but secretly thought about how to teach Sato Fujiko, a crazy woman who likes to mess around, a lesson next time they meet.

Because the label on FATE on the GG handheld is [Japanese-style campus fantasy daily life], players all thought that Che Fuyukawa was going to make a sweet love theme similar to "I'm Surrounded by Beautiful Women". Some players even shouted, "The old thief in Fuyukawa wants to use FATE's sweet love to restore the reputation [destroyed] by Sekiro!" "You give me love and Sese, and I'll give you money."

More or less, everyone still hopes to be noticed, and Che Fuyukawa has a classic 3A masterpiece and is famous all over the world. Not long ago, he spent more than billion to buy an entire building. The game producer in the company building actually wants to make Galgame!
Dimensionality reduction attack!

All this is Fujiko Sato's method. To be honest, the publicity effect has indeed been achieved. Now players who play Galgame or not know FATE, but all this comes at a price, and this price must be his reputation of Fuyukawa Cheru [further deterioration].

How can any game producer not be scolded?

Just kidding, although FATE has a strong storyline and is priced low, it is difficult for players to feel like "Nima, get your money back". But they came with the expectation of experiencing sweet love on campus, but when they entered, they found it was a hell of a chainsaw.
However, I think that the Old Man Ring will be released in the future, and there is a high probability that Dark Souls and Bloodborne will be reset. Even if FATE receives a good response, there may be a few more "To the Moon" and "When the Cicada Cries". Fuyukawa Che was relieved by these healing games.

How loud the first shot can be and how much market share it can capture are the top priorities. And when the three giants in the gaming industry, NICO, SATE and Juyin, made efforts at the same time to staking their claim, everyone was shocked by their terrifying generosity.

It’s a bit numb when I see many UP owners on Station B calling FATE their [work of atonement] [FATE’s sweet love will make up for the torture players have suffered in Sekiro. Give me a date with a stick, the old Dongchuan thief really has you].

This can be most intuitively reflected from the promotional advertisements. For PCs and consoles, the key promotion directions are graphics and performance, while for handheld consoles, the key promotion directions are either "family fun" or "party play", or "returning to the essence of gaming".

The entire Galgame world is crazy!
However, what makes players crazy seems to be different from Fuyukawa Che's imagination.

Tetsu Fuyukawa is thinking about Fujiko Sato, and someone is also thinking about Tetsu Fuyukawa.
.
NICO's president, Hiroshi Takehiko, was holding a tablet computer and frowned when he saw the promotional poster for "FATE" on it.

Needless to say, although Galgame is a niche track, the characteristics of niche users are small volume and high stickiness, and the tolerance and atmosphere of the small circle are often more harmonious, friendly, and enthusiastic than the public circle. At the same time, users in small circles also have some contradictions. On the one hand, they do not want the circle to expand and attract some random people, but on the other hand, they hope that the things in the circle can attract attention in society.

In the minds of many players, even Galgame players, Fuyukawa Che is a dimensionality reduction attack.

From the ninety-nine to the children, whether they are old women, grandfathers or office workers, whether they are office workers or student party members, everyone in Tokyo knows about the GG handheld game console, and at the same time they also know about the escort works of the GG handheld handheld device. As the most promising work of GG handheld console in the Galgame track, FATE is naturally the focus of this announcement.

This ultra-large-scale publicity model, which is completely based on a gimmick, must not be formed spontaneously by players. Moreover, FATE is not an old IP, and it is still a Galgame with a small audience. It is difficult to arouse such strong discussion among players before the game is released.

Game manufacturers are like this, and so are players.

As the three companies began to exert their efforts, the overwhelming publicity swept everyone, and Tokyo was naturally the top priority.

There was overwhelming publicity, from advertisements in office buildings to subway stations, from subway stations to the packaging boxes of couriers, from the packaging boxes of couriers to almost all mainstream video websites.

The essential reason is that no matter how the handheld game is done, the machine cannot be compared with the PC console. Therefore, except for those escort masterpieces that are used to open up the situation, the handheld game player will basically not roll the 3A track, roll the screen, etc. The point is The focus is on gameplay, plot and creativity.

He, Guangqi Takehiko, has always paid more attention to Galgame.

After watching the FATE advertisement for a while, Hiroshi Takehiko took off his glasses, picked up the tea cup and shook it, "Shiro, bring me a cup of coffee."

"Hai."

The middle-aged male secretary named Shiro hurriedly got up to pour coffee. At this moment, Hiroshi Takehiko leaned back on the boss's chair and asked, "Have you ever come into contact with Fuyukawa?"

There were some sudden questions. Shiro bent down and put the tea cup on the table, thinking: "I met him once at the Tokyo Game Conference organized by the government at the beginning of last year. But he was still a nobody at that time, and Ms. Miyano attended the conference. He’s just part of the entourage.”

"Entourage? There is no reason for a small section chief to attend such a government-organized meeting. It seems that he had already taken Miyano into his pocket at that time. Tsk, he is indeed an ambitious young man."

Guangqi Xiongyan said with a smile while drinking coffee.

There was something in his words. As a secretary who had been with the other party for more than thirty years, Shiro thought for a moment and hesitated: "Do you think he might not be satisfied with his current status in the Hawaii Alliance?"

Guangqi Xiongyan shook his head and raised his finger, "It's not possible, it's certain. This kind of careerist will never allow others to put pressure on his head. At the same time, he will definitely pursue maximizing interests in business judgment. But it’s a pity that he has signed the contract and can’t instigate rebellion now.”

Shiro considered his words, "Then do we still want to attack him?"

"Start?"

Hiroki Takehiko shook his head: "The game industry ultimately depends on its works, and we cannot outdo each other in terms of financial resources. Forcing a public opinion war may actually increase the influence of this work, and even make them more united internally. "

Having said this, he looked up at Shiro and said seriously: "Are you sure that the work of Age of Dragons has not been completely polished?"

Shiro nodded solemnly and said: "Yes. I bribed one of their core planners. According to him, the production of Dragon Age has been completed and there are no problems with the content. However, this game was originally going to be released on SATE's own handheld platform. , the optimization was done according to the system and configuration of that handheld console. Now I suddenly switched to the GG handheld console, and the optimization is much worse. Ms. Sato also expressed her hope to adjust the release date of this game at the SATE shareholders meeting. It was pushed back three months, but was ultimately rejected by the board of directors. I think it was also for this reason that Juyin let SATE's game take the lead. Monster Hunter and Legend of Mana will be launched immediately. Although this will definitely affect the sales of GG handheld consoles, Juyin can afford to lose money and has the financial resources to reverse the reputation. As long as SATE can be marginalized internally, it will be worth it. ”

Even more abominable than heretics are heretics.

Juyin is the world's number one super giant group. Temporary gains and losses are not too important to Juyin. What they want is to gain absolute say in the field of handheld games. And SATE is the biggest obstacle at present. As long as there is a chance to squeeze out the opponent, Juyin will take action even if it hurts the enemy a thousand and loses eight hundred to himself.

Although the current Hawaii Game Alliance is aggressive and has more financial and material resources than NICO, it has huge internal problems, and this is also an opportunity for NICO.

Although Juyin has strong financial resources, like Xun, Juyin is not a serious game company after all, but an Internet company. It doesn’t have much advantage in terms of game content. Although it has invested in Shanmu and acquired a large number of classic IPs, it is not enough to pose a fatal threat to NICO in a short period of time, but SATE is different.

SATE is a major game company that really makes games. Even if the sales of Age of Dragons are not as expected due to rush to work, the large number of game lineups that will be filled in will still make NICO very uncomfortable, which leads to Giant Silver wanting to expel SATE from the Hawaii League. , NICO thinks so too!

Guangqi Xiongyan nodded and thought: "Tell the marketing department to prepare to implement the pull and step tactics."

Pull and step tactics.

He didn’t directly say who he was pulling over and stepping on, but it was obvious that he wanted Fuyukawa Che and SATE to fight among themselves!

Or to be more precise, although Fuyukawa Che and SATE are fighting within each other, it is not Fuyukawa Che, and it doesn't matter in Hiroki Takehiko's view. Any work within the Hawaii Game Alliance that is of the same period as Age of Dragons and has a huge sales volume can be used as a chess piece.

Of course, Guangqi Takehiko also understood that Juyin probably would not kill SATE directly at this time. After all, the Americans were not stupid and knew that they needed to borrow the power of SATE to finish this battle first. But there is no reason for Guangqi Takehiko to miss this opportunity to spend small efforts to produce big results.

It's obvious that it drives the tiger away and devours the wolf.

Drive away the tiger of Giant Silver and swallow the wolf of SATE!
However, he may not have seriously thought about it. Not only were he, the wolf, and the tiger sitting at the dining table, but there was also an underage sky-swallowing beast sitting in the corner full of shadows.
.
As the days pass, the announcement war between the Hawaii Game Alliance and NICO becomes more and more intense. All kinds of advertising news are flying all over the sky every day, and the daily publicity expenses are enough to make the heads of knowledgeable people go numb.

Players don’t know all this. They only know that during this period, hearing the name FATE almost makes their ears tingle, but people more or less have a herd mentality, and they are looking forward to this game even more.

A few days before the release of "FATE", many offline physical stores in Tokyo had already started calling Shanmu people, asking for more goods, and all the pre-orders in their hands were used up.

To be honest, Shanmu's people had been prepared for this scene before. After all, Fuyukawa Cheru is the most popular game producer in the gaming industry in the past two years. All of his games are classics. Many players are confident in pre-ordering his works. In addition, the publicity and distribution efforts are so strong, it is normal for a large number of players to pre-order, but they I didn’t expect it to be so popular!

Thirty thousand!

A Galgame, 30,000 copies were sold in offline pre-sale!
Don’t underestimate the 30,000 copies. You must know that although FATE is also logged into the PC, it can only be played on the GG handheld device. And this means that only players who are willing to buy the GG handheld console will choose to buy physical cassettes.

This user base is very small compared to PC, but it still sold 30,000 copies in pre-sale.

A very exaggerated number, and Fuyukawa Che responded quickly.

The offline store on the first floor of Shengguangshe Building has opened. The store manager is Amei and the deputy store manager is Keiko. At his signal, the two mature women began to carry out promotional activities nervously and excitedly.

The character boards at the entrance of the store were erected early, and there were a large number of Cosplayers handing out flyers at the entrance. This time Sistar also sent their well-known idol groups to set up a stage at the door.

Of course, it was not Sistar who gave face, but Fuyukawa Che who gave them face.

Sistar is a small and medium-sized entertainment company. The company's office buildings are rented on several floors in office buildings, and there is no top-tier company in the absolute sense. And now. Not to mention that Cheru Fuyukawa is already at the top of the industry, the fierce competition between the Hawaii Game Alliance and NICO has also been reported by various media in turn, and the traffic is terrifyingly high.

For this reason, Sistar's Honda representative came to the company to thank Fuyukawa Tetsu. Finally, he planned to invite Kawaguchi, who was not very prominent before but has now been promoted to director, to go and have a cool time. Naturally, he was treated coldly by Amei. Yan was frightened.

With the addition of Sistar, the atmosphere became even more lively.

Every day there are a lot of Cosplayers handing out flyers, and a group of lively and beautiful Japanese female idols jumping around on the stage. Even the [retired] Himawari Izumi will occasionally put on Cosplay costumes and sing a few songs. First of all, many passers-by who don’t pay much attention to the game will come to watch, and the atmosphere is very lively.

What’s interesting is that doing these things in the store this time is just Fuyukawa Che’s whim. After all, the income from offline promotion is too low these days. It’s just fun, but opposite the Shengguangshe building is Dragon’s Cave Autumn. Yeyuan store.

Colleagues are enemies, and regardless of whether intentional or not, Fuyukawa Che has stolen each other's business.

Ever since, under the dumbfounded attention of Fuyukawa Cheru on the top floor of the building, Ryu no Cave also set up a ring at the door, and the Ryu no Cave headquarters even specially paid to invite members of AKB48 to support the stage.

It’s interesting whether I should say it or not.

The sound insulation effect of this building is very good. If you don't open the window, you can't hear the outside sound. Every time you are tired from working, you go to the window and open it, and you can see the beauties of the girl group singing and dancing on both sides of the road. , and by the way enjoy the squatting service of Sayoko or Miyano Miwa, Fuyukawa Che only felt that the world was worth it. What’s interesting is that AKB48’s management is also keenly aware of this wave of traffic.

The game is not well-known, and endorsements by girl group idols can increase the game's popularity, and vice versa.

There’s nothing to say, just go for it.

But to put it bluntly, AKB48 also sent a minister over to say hello to Fuyukawa Che. After all, no one wants to offend him for no reason now. And perhaps because of Fuyukawa Che's lustful reputation, the minister brought two pre-members of the girl group with him when he came over.

One is named Mikami, pure and cute, and the other is named Molina, plump and voluptuous.

This is not just to say hello, after all, the fact that Fuyukawa Che is good at writing songs has long been spread in the entertainment industry. The director of AKB48 also wanted to take this opportunity to test whether it is possible to invite this [old man] to come out again.

Needless to say, both girl group members are very attractive, but like Sistar's Honda manager, AKB48's director also encountered the glare skills of Sayoko and Miyano Miwa.

The AKB48 director fled with two beauties.

The two beauties left, but as soon as they left, Miyano Miwa locked the door behind her back, and Sayoko also started to unbutton her white shirt angrily and shyly.

The two people's wolf-like, playful or shy looks made Fuyukawa Che feel excited and aching for his balls.

Why, didn’t there just be three hits on the sofa, the floor-to-ceiling window, and the boss’s desk at noon? !
Fortunately, there is system support!
He was a little scared, but Fuyukawa Che's waist and hands were very honest, and he directly pushed four large car lights out of the floor-to-ceiling window.
