The ups and downs in the video game industry, in the eyes of the average gamer, are just a trivial matter of deciding what to play at night.

Lakh!

Two hundred thousand!

300,000!

500,000!

"Endless Fantasy" has gone through two months of sales and has been sold out completely.

While the cash flow of 10,000 households has been greatly abundant, its position in the industry and its influence outside the industry have made a qualitative leap.

After all the "Endless Fantasy" were sold, Takahashi only slightly submitted an order for 10,000 copies of "Endless Fantasy" to Nintendo's original heart. Because, I don't know when these cassettes will be produced, and there will be no shortage of "Endless Fantasy" on the second-hand market at that time, and if you order more, you won't be able to sell them.

Don't look at the current sales of red and white machines in the local area of the country, the sales of nearly 10 million units, however, the average number of games per machine is not high. There are only four of them.

Among them, the most owned is Nintendo's own "Super Mario Bros.", and the rest are some games such as "Gold Digger" and "Iron Plate Formation".

The sales of 500,000 copies of "Endless Fantasy" is equivalent to occupying 5% of this 10 million platform. For a game type that can be liked by not relying on the first feeling, for a game type that is not very visually impactful, and for a game type that is the first to start, it is already very remarkable to have such sales.

Originally, Nintendo predicted that the final sales of "Endless Fantasy" might reach between 600,000 and 700,000, but Wanhu didn't know what was going on, and Nintendo watched "Endless Fantasy" sell out, but there was no reason to urge a third party to increase orders.

It stands to reason that a third party has no reason not to make money. Nintendo is also puzzled by the decision of Wanhu.

Since this year has entered the second half of the year, although the sequel to "Endless Fantasy" is already in production, it is not realistic to release it within the year.

Taking advantage of the popularity of "Endless Fantasy" in the market, Takahashi also decided to fry a cold rice and transplant the "Tower of Magic" series on the arcade, as well as the "Bubble Dragon" series, and "If You Are Brave, Go Down a Hundred Floors", to the red and white machine.

However, it is slightly different from other fried cold rice. Wanhu did not choose the strategy of transplanting one at a time and selling one at a time. Instead, he chose the attitude of increasing the volume and not increasing the price.

By making a collection of Tower of Magic and Tower of Magic 2, players can play both games for the money they pay for a cartridge.

"Bubble Dragon" is also in the production of the collection.

There is only one copy of "If You Are Brave, You Will Go Down a Hundred Floors", and Wan Hu chose the option of adding elements. Added an item system that does not exist in the arcade to increase the fun of interacting with friends (tearing (harmony) force).

The magic production team was also disbanded, and some of the personnel entered the preparation team for the sequel to "Endless Sea", and the rest were divided into three transplant groups.

However, Sun Ming and Lao Li returned to China. They were given a new mission, and the most mysterious game production work in the whole of Wanhu, they were responsible for the development of the arcade version of Tetris and the red and white version of Tetris.

Even in order to make "Tetris" feel more authentic Maozi, Takahashi also invited several Soviet scientists from special channels to help produce "Tetris".

At the same time, the equipment of the factory established by Takahashi in China has been fully put in place and has entered the commissioning stage. The construction of the residential building has also been completed.

The talents that Takahashi has collected from all over the country have already gathered at the Wanhu China headquarters, and it is time to assign them tasks.

And after returning to China, my uncle seems to have developed an obsession with building a house. After the baptism of the book, he recruited several construction talents with high salaries from the construction team that built factories and residential office buildings for 10,000 households in China.

Now I heard that it is popular to build houses in Hainan, there is no shortage of money, and there are people, uncles who have nothing to do, go to Hainan to radiate light and heat.

Although the LCD production line introduced from Sharp is at the top level in China, it is only at the second-rate level in the international market. It's no problem to make a calculator, but the domestic large-scale procurement calculator can't afford to procure, and the vast majority of units and individuals are still using the abacus.

And export calculators are okay, and they can also earn foreign exchange by exporting, but how can Takahashi, who has already made a lot of money on video games, look at the meager income earned by producing low-end calculators to fight prices.

Takahashi bought almost all of the Nintendo game watches and sent them back to China for the researchers he had gathered to study.

Takahashi's instruction was to make sure that the printed LCD screen was thoroughly studied before the actual product could be produced.

Takahashi is actually a three-step layout for Tetris. Starting with the arcade version of Tetris, then the red-and-white version of Tetris, and finally what version of Tetris will be?

Takahashi introduced Sharp's LCD production line and purchased Ricoh's circuit production line for what purpose, in order to produce Tetris.

Only profiteering products can give enterprises the capital to carry out industrial upgrading. Although the chip production line and LCD production line of Wanhu China are now at the world's advanced level, there is a generation gap of one to two generations, and there is a gap of three to five years.

However, if you spend enough money and support enough people to study, you may not be able to catch up with them.

And the "Tetris" machine is the engine that takes off from China. Originally, the local government had already made some rag dolls and arcade frames to export foreign exchange, which made the leadership team almost collectively high (harmonious) tide. has already done everything possible to coax Wanhu, if they know what kind of foreign exchange-earning monster is about to appear in Wanhu, they don't know what kind of attitude they will lick Wanhu.

At present, Takahashi, who has deep pockets, has applied for patents in all countries that can apply for patents, including China, for "Tetris".

The reason why it is necessary to have an arcade, a home console, and a portable handheld is a three-step process. Takahashi is to promote it easily, and the second is to seek to maximize benefits.

Anyone who has played Tetris will deny that Tetris has an addictive magic.

As soon as Tetris was released on the arcade, Takahashi was sure that it would cause a flurry. But not everyone has the time and space to go to the arcade to play, and the launch of the home version at this time should be a hot sale.

But this is not the ultimate form of Tetris, the ultimate form of Tetris, which should be playable anytime, anywhere.

And the handheld can meet this point.
