In the third week, Atari Electronic Pet sold more than 10 million units, which can't help but be staggering.
That's when it happened. Atari announced that Atari would hold a product launch on November 11, 1993. This product launch event will unveil Atari's secret new home console for the first time!
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation.
Atari has been in a hot mess lately. Now take advantage of the victory to pursue, and immediately make Nintendo, Sony and other companies scared.
Third-party game companies are also sending people to the press conference, and if Atari's new console is very good, they may consider joining the platform!
This Atari conference is more grand and popular than the last one!
Outside the press conference, countless gamers flocked to the event, and the scene was lively.
ABC TV was invited to broadcast the event live, and fans from outside the game will be able to watch the event live on a huge screen, as well as the RealPlayer client!
As soon as Henry took the stage, applause rang out.
Henry nodded to everyone, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Welcome to Atari's latest product launch, this time as you wish, we will announce Atari's new generation of home game consoles!"
"The name of Atari's new generation of home game consoles is called Jaguar, and as we all know, the tiger is the king of the forest, so we also hope that this jaguar game console can be the king in the gaming industry!"
Without further ado, everyone must be anxious to find out about the Atari Jaguar. Henry said as he pressed the remote control in his hand, and immediately, the screen behind him appeared the image of a jaguar game console.
Henry pointed to the jaguar and introduced: "This is the Atari jaguar, cold black, excellent design, like a prostrate jaguar ready to hunt! The Atari Jaguar is the world's first 64-bit home TV console, and its powerful performance exceeds everyone's beliefs, making it the most advanced game console of its time!"
A group of people in the audience were shocked, Atari was so hanging, Nintendo's SFC game console was only 16-bit, and the Atari Jaguar actually soared directly to 64-bit, as long as there is a good game and the price is right, it will definitely crush it!
Nintendo's representatives immediately became nervous and scared.
And at this moment, Nintendo President Pu Yamauchi, who was in front of the TV, stood up from his seat in shock!
On the Internet, many netizens have left messages.
"It's so hanging! After Henry Williams became Atari, it was different. The game console has risen directly to 64 bits, isn't the performance of the machine super powerful?!"
"Good machine. What's the use! Sega's game console is still 32-bit, isn't it also beaten by Nintendo's SCF? The key is to watch the game. Only if the game on the console platform is fun, someone will buy it!"
"That's right, that's right. However, if you think, Atari's parent company is Firefly Games. Firefly Games isn't enough to drag it, the overlord of the PC game industry! With its support, the Atari Jaguar will definitely have good games!"
"Well, what I said upstairs makes sense! Firefly Games is awesome!"
“……”
Henry looked at the discussion in the audience and nodded with satisfaction.
"Everyone, be quiet. Now, I'm going to tell you about what makes the Atari Jaguar so special about today's game consoles!" Henry exclaimed, "The Jaguar has a lot of features in addition to its great performance!
Henry paused and said, "The Atari Jaguar is the world's first home TV game console that can access the Internet, and we designed the network card, as long as you have a Cisco router at home. After that, through the network cable exported from the router, access to the Atari Jaguar's network card location, you can automatically connect to the Internet! In addition, we designed a TV battle network inside the Atari Jaguar, as long as you enter the TV battle network. And the game has an internet connection function, so you can play the game with other people at home!!"
"The days of stand-alone machines are over. Although we are at home, we can also stay at home to communicate!!"
Henry's words just fell. The audience suddenly was in a commotion. Obviously, they were all shocked!
Then. All manufacturers of home video game consoles feel that an unprecedented crisis is coming!
However, without waiting for them to think about it, Henry continued: "Having said all this, everyone still doesn't know how the game performance of the Atari Jaguar is. Now, let's take a look at the comparison! Let's compare the SFC of the most powerful Nintendo of the moment with the Atari Jaguar!"
As he spoke, Henry pressed the remote control.
"Look, everyone, this is Super Mario Kart running on the SFC console!" Henry smiled and said, "Oh, it's okay! Well, now it's the Jaguar's turn to play the game." Let's also take a look at a racing game, which will be an exclusive Atari Jaguar game called Need for Speed!"
With that, Henry pressed the remote control again.
First, there was a roaring sound of starting the car, and then, the game screen of Need for Speed appeared on the screen!
"Oh, how can the picture be so good?"
"Damn, 3D graphics! Is this a 3D game!!"
"This picture looks so cool!!"
"Look, the game is on! Oh, it's so fast, it's so exciting! Oh my God, you can still drift, it's so cool!"
“……”
Henry laughed silently, and waited for a moment of surprise before pressing a button to make the picture still.
"What do you think?" asked Henry.
"Great!"
"Unbeatable !!"
“……”
Henry asked again, "Is Nintendo's SFC strong or Atari's Jaguar strong?"
"Jaguar Strong !!"
Henry smiled slightly, and at this time, Nintendo President Yamauchi Pu in front of the TV was already blue-faced!
The heads of consoles at Sony and Sega all looked extremely ugly.
At this time, when the CEO of Apple saw the picture, he broke out in a cold sweat and thought, this is completely over, how can Apple compete with them......
Henry smiled at this point and continued: "Next, I will let everyone watch six more games, plus Need for Speed is a total of seven games. All seven of these will debut when the Atari Jaguar launches, and they're all exclusives!"
"Okay, please watch the screen. ”
Henry pressed a button, and after a while, many people in the audience were surprised: "Oh, it's Capcom Co., Ltd.'s "The King of Fighters 1993"!"
The King of Fighters 1992 is an arcade game, and even if it is ported to a home console, it is a super popular game!
Henry just let everyone see the game screen in more than ten seconds this time, and then switched to other games, still holding the pipa and half-covering his face is the most attractive, all exposed, there is no big surprise!
Subsequently, "Mega Man X Series" and "Resident Evil" were shown one by one.
As soon as "Resident Evil" came out, everyone saw the picture and heard the voice, and they were immediately terrified.
"It's a scary game, the graphics are so realistic, and the screams of the zombies are really scary. However, I think it's super fun!"
"It is said that it is still adapted from the novel work of Henry Williams, and there are a lot of fans, and this game is definitely going to be !!"
"Don't talk about it, I'm already itching my hands, and I can't wait to buy an Atari Jaguar console and play with the Resident Evil game disc right now!"
“……”
After "Resident Evil", it is "Grand Theft Auto".
When everyone saw this game, they were shocked and speechless, this game can still be played like this, robbing cars in the city, getting people, killing police, it's so awesome, and you can even use guns, is this a flying car game?
Many of the players who watched the live webcast were enthusiastic.
"Made, this game is so much to my liking!"
"Violent and bloody, flying cars, beautiful women, cool!"
“……”
After Grand Theft Auto Racer, it's Crash Bandicoot.
"That's a good game, this wolf...... Oh, this Crash Bandicoot is going to be on fire!!"
"The level design is clever, full of fun, plus 3D graphics, cartoon style, very interesting!"
“……”
When it came to the last game, Henry said loudly: "Everyone, please note, now, we are going to watch the last game! This game will definitely surprise you! I promise ......"
Henry smiled and pressed the remote control.
Immediately, an image of an animal appeared on the screen.
As soon as this image came out, the audience immediately rioted......
Countless people shouted a name almost together.
"Pikachu !!"
