329. This is it? This is it?
In early March, "Kirby" began its Reuters promotion, which caused an uproar in the industry from the released intelligence images to the character settings.
Because this is not a "Battle of Dragons" game.
There is no shortage of people in the industry who study War Dragon. Their evaluation of War Dragon is "hard core". What is hard core? It means being half a step ahead of other game companies in technology and a generation ahead in spirit, letting other game companies know that War Dragon is ahead of them.
, but not out of reach.
And the games of War Dragon, from "War Dragon Three Kingdoms" to "Blue Dragon", from "Tetris" to "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Jin Yong's Heroes", these games have created a new game type. These games
The common characteristic is that it is easy to get started but difficult to master.
"Three Kingdoms" is simple, right? It's actually about strategic farming and recruiting troops to conquer the world.
But if you study carefully, you will find that there are still strategies and skills in it. If you study deeply and play for dozens of hours, you may just get started. There are many people who have played for hundreds of hours, and they have memorized such things as the appearance of the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix.
Depending on the age and military division ability, use remote forces or limit one city to start fighting for the world.
For hardcore gamers, Dragon Fighting is even harder.
In "Blue Dragon", there are actually two chapters.
Some players found that although the second game can inherit the abilities of the main group of the first game, the monsters are stronger. This kind of strength is not brainless, but after the players have experience in the first game and understand what attribute restraint is, they use the response
Attribute magic to restrain monsters.
By the second game, there is an extreme shortage of mana-recovering medicines. We must carefully study attribute restraint and use the least mana to destroy bosses and monsters. If the player just goes through the plot, in fact, a game of dozens of hours is enough. But
There are also players who want to explore the world of Blue Dragon in depth, which requires them to play the second game again. At this time, the difficulty level rises sharply, and even the BOSS in the Novice Village may not be able to pass it.
But what is "Kirby"?
A cute little pink monster?
Even with the blessing of the name War Dragon, how fun can this little pink monster game be? Can you still defy the odds as a War Dragon?
Namco.
Nakamura looked at the industry intelligence sent by his subordinates. Among them was the game type analysis and sales analysis of "Kirby".
Nakamura looked at the "Estimated sales volume is around 1 million" written on the paper and immediately sneered.
"War Dragon is nothing more than that. I think Su Butong has exhausted his talents. He has been holding back for several months and released a game like this? I think his mind is no longer on making games." Nakamura laughed. "By the way,
When is the release date of "Kirby"?"
"March 20."
"Our next game "Family Jockey" is also scheduled for that day."
"But no one has ever wanted to compete with a war dragon?" His subordinates knew the magic power of a war dragon.
"War Dragon? Didn't you see them sinking to the point of releasing a Q version of the game? Now is the time for us to show Namco's strength to players. Let the industry see that War Dragon is nothing at all."
"Okay." The subordinates knew Nakamura's temper and stopped trying to persuade him. They immediately went to arrange the matter.
"Wait a minute, tell the people in the Anti-War Dragon Alliance to start attacking "Kirby". No matter how you smear it, you must severely damage War Dragon's sales and reduce the sales volume to less than 400,000."
"yes."
The companies of the Anti-War Dragon Alliance started a propaganda war. They had various purposes and began to discredit "Kirby" through various channels.
"This game is not fun at all."
"Zhan Long is dead."
"It is foreseeable that Zhanlong will encounter the Waterloo since its establishment."
For a time, looking down on the dragon became the main tone, which even affected the players' judgment.
…………
Shuchiin Academy.
"Silver-kun, "Kirby" will be released next week, will you buy it?"
"Kaguya-kun, I would rather buy "Kyoto Kurama Mountain Massacre" which will be released later than "Kirby"."
"Hey, I remember you are a fan of War Dragon. Didn't you buy all the game cartridges of War Dragon before?"
"But I personally don't like games like "Kirby"." Shirogane half-covered his face with a fan and closed his eyes expressionlessly.
To be honest, he was a little disappointed with Zhanlong's game this time. Not buying the game was his protest.
"Okay, I planned to ask you to go shopping together, but I only have Fujiwara-san to go shopping with." Kaguya said with a disappointed tone. She only started slowly after knowing that he loved to play the game of fighting dragons.
When she came into contact with the Dragon Wars game, she didn't expect that Baiyin wasn't interested in the game she wanted to buy this time.
"Well, there are so many good games this year, and the Dragon Wars game is nothing among them." Bai Yin said.
Today’s outcome: Tie.
…………
"Boss, Japan has sent information." Chu Xingyun put a stack of magazines on Su Butong's desk with a hint of panic.
"What happened?" Su Butong saw that Chu Xingyun's face looked wrong, so he asked.
"The Japanese side said that we have exhausted our talents in fighting Long Jiang." Chu Xingyun hesitated and then said.
"Oh, why did they say that?" Su Butong showed no emotion or anger at all on his face, which made Chu Xingyun unsure of Su Butong's thoughts.
"Because "Kirby" is a non-Dragon game in their opinion."
"That's it..."
"And one more thing."
"Can you please finish it in one breath?"
"Namco's "Family Jockey" is competing with us. It is scheduled to be released on the same day, and there is a promotion. If you buy "Family Jockey", you can buy any other game that Namco has released.
20% off.”
"That's it?" Su Butong sneered. When Chu Xingyun said that the whole Dongying began to fight against dragons, he thought that someone was behind it. However, the following news made him immediately catch the mastermind behind the scenes.
It is not accurate to say that it is the mastermind behind this, because Namco sincerely hates Zhan Long.
"Well, let's tell the Japanese sales terminal that due to the impact of chip production capacity, the price of each game will be increased by 400 yen. For every additional "Kirby" sold, all of the 400 yen commission will be given to them."
"Ah? Instead of lowering the price, we raise the price? Is this possible?" Chu Xingyun thought that Su Butong would also increase sales by lowering the price, but he did not expect that the price would increase instead.
"Silly boy, why should we lower prices when others lower them? Are we so unsure of our own games? And when we lower prices, don't we tell consumers that the prices of our games are artificially high? When prices increase, you have to look at why they increase, so I did this
Most people can't learn it easily, just watch it." Su Butong said directly without worrying about the sales of "Kirby".
"Okay, then I'll get in touch." Chu Xingyun saw that Su Butong was not affected by this incident, and his originally flustered heart calmed down a lot.
Chapter completed!
