"Sir, what do you think of the newly launched Nintendo GameCube amusement instrument?" A hostess with a microphone stopped the player who had just walked out of a game store and asked.

The player, who still had a bit of childishness on his face, scratched his hair and said embarrassedly: "I haven't played it yet, so it's hard to say." But I believe in Nintendo, so I believe in NGC! ”

As he spoke, the player also held up the NGC he had just bought and shook it in front of the camera, wondering if he wanted to show off something or just want to show off.

"Hmm......" The hostess turned to face the camera and said into the microphone, "It seems that this player is still very optimistic about the Nintendo GameCube amusement instrument!" ”

Kamitoba-Hodatecho, Minami-ku, Kyoto, Japan, Nintendo Headquarters Building......

More than 10 hours have passed since NGC began to sell in North America, and Yamauchi has been in an inexplicable state since he woke up in the morning, all of which stemmed from the special operation of NGC's launch. According to Nintendo's past habits, or some practices of Japanese companies, NGC listings should start from the Japanese market, such as Nintendo red and white, Super Nintendo, and even N64. However, the fiasco of the N64 in the Japanese market bought a shadow in Yamauchi's heart, coupled with Sony Computer Entertainment's unwilling failure to offer a low-price killer feature, PS2 game consoles and DreamBox128 were bloodied in the Japanese market, leaving little room for others to survive, in order to avoid NGC's failure again, Yamauchi Pu gave up the previous practice and sent the first release of NGC to North America, for which he also specially transferred his cronies.

There was a soft sound of "Ding Dong", Yamauchi Pu turned his head to look at the monitor on the desk, his right hand moved the mouse at the same time and clicked, a slight click sounded, and a new email popped up on the monitor, which read: "...... As of 5 p.m. ET, 43,562 NGC consoles have been sold, and the stock is very strong......"

Yamauchi Pu frowned slightly at the few numbers, this result is not too good, not to mention the PS2 and DreamBox128 that are being struggling, even the N64 and the almost delisted Dreamcast performed better on the first day of listing. If you follow this sales rate, it will take at least half a month to break one million, and maybe others will already react by then.

"Wait, maybe things will get better later." Yamauchi comforted himself in his heart, after all, it has only been fourteen or five hours since NGC was listed, and there should be a lot of room for growth, and maybe there will be good news by tomorrow.

……

Wells Reed Home in the suburbs of Buffalo City, New York, 5th Floor, 8 Luciley Avenue Apartments, USA......

By this time, Wells Reed had already gone back to his bedroom to rest, leaving only NGC packaging scattered on the floor, a powered off NGC console, and a large-screen TV. If it was usual, Wells Reed would have to play at least until almost the early hours of the morning before he stopped, but unfortunately this time "Louie's Haunted House" was not as attractive as he imagined, and the process of the game was not as interesting as he imagined.

In a blink of an eye, the next day, Wells Reid had breakfast, and drove to the city center in a hurry, Buffalo is not a big city, and there are few traffic jams, he drove for more than ten minutes, and he has returned to the place he left yesterday. After finding an empty spot and parking the car, Wells Reed got out of the car and was ready to try his luck at the Nintendo authorized game store yesterday.

He hadn't gone far before Wells Reid noticed a long line in front of the shop in front of him, and from his position, there was at least two or three hundred meters long, and from time to time people came one after another. Wells Reid couldn't help but stop and take a look, this store is also a game store from the signboard, but in terms of style and image, it should be one of Nintendo's competitors, a store that sells DreamBox128 games.

Looking at the long line, a thought popped into Wells Reed's mind: "Why don't you go and see what these people want to buy?" ”

As a more staunch Nintendo lover, Wells Reed usually doesn't care about what happens on other game platforms, even if he passes by Nintendo's competitor's game store, he won't go to see it, but today's situation is more special, yesterday's "Louie's Haunted House" has made him a little disappointed, and he came here today just in case of hope, and suddenly saw the long queue in front of other people's stores, and his mind would have a whim.

"Hello, what are you going to buy in this queue?" Wells Reed asked a casual white guy who looked kind.

The guy replied casually: "GTA3, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

"What is GTA3? Games? A series of question marks popped up in Wells Reed's mind, and just then, a bell rang in front of the store, and the line began to stir a little.

……

"Is that Mr. Smallwood, please?" The voice of a strange man came from outside the door.

"I am." Craig Smallwood said yes through the door, leaned over the cat's eye and looked out, and a blonde guy in FedEx overalls appeared in front of him.

Craig Smallwood was overjoyed, he knew that eighty percent of the game he had scheduled had arrived, but he still cautiously asked through the door: "Who are you?" ”

"Mr. Smallwood, you have a package." The blonde guy lifted the small package in his hand up, and said with a smile: "Please sign for it." ”

Craig Smallwood was relieved this time, reached out and opened the door, took the package from the blonde guy and checked it, sure enough, it was the game he had booked, so he signed a few times, took the package and turned around. The long-awaited game has finally arrived, and Craig Smallwood is so excited that he almost forgot to close the door, but fortunately, the FedEx lad reminded him responsibly, and he didn't make a fuss.

Closing the door, Craig Smallwood couldn't wait to start unpacking as he walked, and soon a red and black inner packaging appeared in front of him, and the box was printed with a comic-style background image, and the words "GrandTheftAutoIII" on it, officially "GTA3" that he had been waiting for for a long time. Craig Smallwood opened the inner package to find the DVD of the game, and put the rest of the package on the square table in the entertainment room, then went to the big screen TV, turned on the DreamBox128 game console and TV, stuffed the DVD into the console, and began to sit down and wait for the game screen to appear.

As a gold member of DreamBoxLive, Craig Smallwood is well-informed, having heard about GTA3 eight months ago, and he had also played the previous generation of GTA2 on PC, which was a very violent 2D top-down action game at the time. Eight months ago, Craig Smallwood saw a new game in full 3D, and the plot of the game has changed a lot, from the original gangsters to fight and kill, but now it has become a completely open world, a city close to reality with a multi-ethnic and cultural background, Liberty City. The player's role in the game is that of an undercover police detective, but the game does not limit the direction of development, the player can communicate and interact with anyone in Liberty City at will, and can accept tasks from gang bosses, cops, and businessmen, etc., and whether they want to complete it and how to complete it are in the player's hands. Players can completely degenerate into real gangsters in the game, or they can stick to the bottom line and continue their undercover career, or they can even drive around the city and do nothing.

In the original video, some of the vehicles in Liberty City were shown, such as luxury RVs, taxis, sports cars, etc., but in the official version, Craig Smallwood heard that there are more options, such as trucks, trucks, ambulances, garbage trucks, police cars, and even speedboats and police helicopters have the opportunity to become their own cars, and weapons and equipment will be more abundant.

Free game choice, rich game fun, Craig Smallwood has been looking forward to getting the official version of the game since eight months ago, as early as a month and a half ago when the DreamBoxLive store appeared "GTA3" reservation, he immediately took advantage of the convenience of gold card members to set a set, in order to get a game in time, and now he finally got what he wanted.

With the slight sound of disc reading, the picture on the TV screen began to change, and a red sports car rushed out, followed by several police cars with flashing police lights, and the sound of bullets and helicopters in the air was heard with the sound of shrill sirens......

When Wells Reid woke up from his dazed state, he found that he had an extra set of "GTA3" games in his hand, which was infected by the trailer on the big-screen TV in front of the store, coupled with the surging crowd at the scene, he didn't know when he also went in, and even bought a set of games under the bewitchment of the frenzied atmosphere around him.

Holding the "GTA3" in his hand, Wells Reed looked at the deserted Nintendo game store not far away in confusion, and finally turned around as if he had made up his mind to leave, and he suddenly turned around after just two steps. Wells Reed remembered a key thing, he patronized and took the game away, there was no console suitable for the game at home, thinking of this, he glanced at the Nintendo game store not far away, and walked into the game store in front of him.
