It is not Nintendo's "Dolphin", Sega's new Dreamcast console or Sony's PS2, nor is it a new game console, the most scorching DreamBox128 game console at present, but it is a very simple, very ordinary, and even a game with no technical hot spots, DB128 version of the innocent love game (GAL) "Heartbeat Memories 2" triggered the beginning of the year-end business war.

The development of "Heartbeat Memories 2" Konami claims to have been planned for four years, and as soon as it landed on the market, it caused many players to queue up to buy it in Akihabara, and even many otaku known as "Otaku" did not hesitate to wait in front of the game store in the winter rain the night before, just to have "Heartbeat Memories 2" as soon as possible, on the one hand, I want to experience the different love feelings of the new heroines, and on the other hand, because of "Heartbeat Memories 2" The addition of an innovative E.V.S (Emotional Voice) system, in which the girls in the game greet the player in a sweet voice, is a completely irresistible temptation for otaku, whose only regret is that the content of the game is too short, and every time the key part is reached, there is no follow-up.

Shortly after the launch of "Heartbeat Memories 2", Nintendo also took action, and they came up with a new console, but this is not the legendary "Dolphin" console that was launched in advance, but the thing used to match the N64 game console, a disk drive called 64DD, of course, not the common 1.44MB 3-inch disk on the computer, but a special single-sided 64MB capacity disk. A disk with read-write ability still has a certain advantage over a disc that can only be read, especially when it is used cleverly for games, but Nintendo has a stupid trick at this time.

I don't know if it's because of the long delay (almost three years later than originally planned), or because it cost Nintendo too much money to research the 64DD drive, the price of the 64DD was actually set at a high price of 30,000 yen. As an accessory for an almost obsolete N64 game console, it is actually sold more expensive than the main body, that is, cheaper than the price of DreamBox128 and PS2, and at this time, according to the estimated date of the Nintendo "Dolphin" console is only a year, it is estimated that in addition to the fanatical Ren Fan, few fools will spend 30,000 yen to buy such a thing that I don't know how many games can be launched. But Nintendo still wants to sell the 64DD as a treasure, but fortunately, they are still a little self-aware, and they have launched a way to buy 64DD disk drives in installments, and they don't force others to pay 30,000 yen in one go.

Nintendo's dizzy move was immediately warmly welcomed by other competitors. Sony Computer Entertainment has launched several games, including "Legend of the Dragon Knight" from the first party, and then once again took out the upcoming PS2 to show off, on the one hand, as a celebration of the global sales of PS consoles exceeding 70 million units, and on the other hand, to be able to snipe the DreamBox128 game console, and by the way, disgusting Nintendo, as for Sega, it has been gorgeously ignored.

Sony Computer Entertainment's move still played a role, but it was not only his opponents who were affected, in early and mid-December, except for Nintendo's portable handheld GBC, the sales of the other four popular game consoles generally declined, and even some games launched during this period were dragged down, such as the extraordinary appeal of Square Enix's "The Incredible Labyrinth of the Chocobo 2", which barely reached 600,000 units. The reason for this may be that the PS console is too successful, the influence of Sony Computer Entertainment is too strong, and it just so happens that the legendary PS2 console is about to be launched, which has led to many players holding coins to buy, and even the motivation to buy games has dropped significantly.

Supposedly, this situation should be considered a good thing for Sony Computer Entertainment, but to the tears of Ken Kutaragi, not only did the sales of the PlayStation have declined, but even the well-prepared "Legend of the Dragon Knight" has received a cold reception in the market, which makes him feel like he is shooting himself in the foot, and worse, it is simply a great laugh for their competitors. But now, everything is already progressing according to plan, and he is no longer allowed to make any adjustments.

On December 23, the curtain of battle officially opened......

At nine o'clock in the morning, Kenji Iino, who had not slept all night, appeared in front of the Akihabara Chiba video game store, and he smiled happily as he looked at the purchase line of more than 400 people waiting at the door. It's been four full years, and as the main creator of "D no Shizhuo 2", Kenji Iino, the president of Warp Corporation, has spent quite a bumpy four years, from the blockbuster on 3DO, to the silence on the Saturn console, and now he is finally back.

As a unique game producer who does not pay attention to the number of games, but specializes in the originality and "spirit" of games, Kenji Iino looks down on the development companies that "mass-produced" games the most, so he still has great expectations for the "D no Food Takuku 2" that he has worked so hard to develop. To thank those players who might be lining up for their game, Kenji Iino spent the night signing autographs for the D-no-Takumi 2 special limited edition last night, just to surprise the players.

Haneda Wuren is an avid Sega fan.,It's been a long time ago.,Originally, he liked mainly those hard-core games from Sega.,But now it's not time for picky eating.,Who made the guy who lives next door to him called Hikadahara too proud.,All day long, how good the DreamBox128 console is.、How wonderful the games on the console are.,People want to beat him up when they see it.。

It's a pity that the Dreamcast console is too uncompetitive.,Not to mention the performance or anything.,Even the game can't guarantee a sufficient number.,Haneda Wu people are powerless.,Want to refute the Hinakahara field.,But I can't come up with too many convincing things.。 Fortunately, this month, the Dreamcast game has finally taken off, not only "D-no-Food" 2, but even the masterpiece "Shenmue" has been released this month, which is perhaps the best news for Sega fans.

In order to get the new Dreamcast game as soon as possible, and so that the kid in Hinatakadashi should not be too arrogant, Haneda went out very early, and when he arrived at the door of the Chiba video game store, he was exactly in 26th place, which was quite high. Waited left and right, and finally stayed up until nine o'clock in the morning on the 23rd, and the whole person standing in Haneda was almost numb, if it wasn't for the belief in his heart, maybe he wouldn't have been able to support it a long time ago.

At this moment, the team suddenly stirred, and Haneda thought that the video game store was open, and he looked up and saw that the door was still closed. He looked around suspiciously, and found that most of the people in line were looking in one direction, and there was a fat man with long hair, who was wearing a lewd smile and didn't know what he was excited about, but it looked a little familiar.

"Is this strange uncle here to buy the game too?The smile looks so cold!" A very sweet female voice came from behind him, very bit of Lori, Haneda Wuren couldn't help but look back, it turned out that it was a girl who looked like a girl behind him who spoke just now.

The girl looked beautiful, her eyes seemed to be looking at the fat man with long hair obliquely, Haneda Wuren took the opportunity to take a few more looks, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the girl, so frightened that he quickly turned around, but he didn't expect a sentence from behind him that made him almost vomit blood, "Uncle, you have something!"

Haneda Wuren couldn't help but sigh, he was a promising young man, although he stayed at home a little longer, although he saw less sunlight, although he seemed to have less exercise, although he had been queuing for a long time, but he would not become a strange uncle, "I'm so old!" he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After feeling sorry for himself for a while, Haneda Wuren slowly raised his head, and a fat head with long hair and flowing appeared in front of him, he was stunned and almost flew up reflexively, but fortunately he saw a fat hand in front of him in time, and he was also holding a box of special limited edition "D no Shizhuo 2" in his hand, and at this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, remembering who the long-haired fat man in front of him was.

"Thank you for your support!" Kenji Iino reached out and shook the hand of the player in front of him who was a little stunned by his "excitement", and then handed over the signed special limited edition "D no Shitako 2" that he was holding in his other hand. After the player reacted and took the game, he reached out and shook the other person's hand, smiled and said, "I wish you a special gaming experience!"

After saying that, Kenji Iino continued to walk towards the next player, this time it was a beautiful female player, and she looked young, like a girl.

Paying the banknotes to the store that came to collect the money, Haneda Wuren had forgotten the long-haired fat man in his heart at this time, and the Lolita girl who stood behind him, and called him uncle, he hugged the special limited edition "D no Shizhuo 2" in his arms tightly, and there was only one thought left in his mind, "I must turn up the sound of the TV when I go back, or simply find an excuse to let the guy next door come over, so that he can see the strength of the Dreamcast console......"

Earlier, in Shibuya, known as the City of Youth, Sony Computer Entertainment Ken Nagata took to the streets to greet the enthusiastic gamers who were waiting in the cold wind to buy PS2 consoles, to thank them for lining up all night to support their PS2, a generation of god machines in their hearts.

“…… Five years ago, when we launched the PlayStation console, a lot of people laughed at us, thinking that we were humiliating ourselves by joining in at a time when the two were competing with each other, but with the most powerful performance of the PS console at the time and the support of many great games, we finally succeeded and fulfilled our original promise that 'all the great games are gathered here', and everyone enjoyed it. Now, five years later, the PlayStation console has achieved its ambitious goal of selling more than 70 million units worldwide, and continues to grow in popularity at a rapid pace, but a new round of console competition has begun.

Just like back then, Sega was ahead of the curve with the launch of the Dreamcast console, followed by a new rival, the DreamBox 128. We at Sony Computer Entertainment seem to be falling behind for the time being, but that's okay, now that the PS2 is here, our victory is not far off!"

As he spoke, Ken Kuta's emotions became excited, and even the players became more excited. While listening to Ken Kuta's speech, as if they didn't want money, they put out the PS2 game consoles on the scene and snatched them up.

Watching players rush to buy PS2 game consoles, Ken Kutara's mood is not as happy as he seems, unlike these heartless ordinary players, he has a lot to worry about, and the most urgent thing at the moment is the supply of memory sticks. Due to some time ago there was a problem in a memory stick production factory, although it was quickly resolved, but it also delayed the stocking of memory sticks, resulting in the supply of memory sticks now seriously lagging behind the PS2 game console, but the memory stick is an indispensable accessory for playing games, and even the sales of PS2 game consoles have been affected, not out of stock, but in the absence of memory sticks can not be sold.

Yesterday, Kutaragi Ken also personally called the director of the production plant to ask about the normal supply of memory sticks in 10 days, and then the sales of PS2 game consoles will no longer need to be restricted, but for now, I have to play some tricks for the time being, and try to drag this time over, hoping that it will not have an adverse impact on the final sales of PS2 game consoles.

Heisuke Mito lifted his glasses, looking at President Ken Kutaragi who was talking endlessly on the stage, his mood also became excited, and he couldn't help but raise and wave the PS2 game console he had just bought with both hands, and even shouted "Long live Sony, PS2 will win!"

Heisuke Mito is an old player, of course, it can't be compared with those players who came from the era of Nintendo's red and white machines, the first time he bought a game console was five years ago, it happened to be the PS game console at the beginning of the listing, and then he gradually became a loyal Sony game controller, basically as long as the games on the PS have been bought, like "Resident Evil", "Final Fantasy 7" and so on, have brought him happiness for a long time.

But as Ken Kutaragi said, the current PS game console has been old for a long time, and although there are still a lot of new games coming out every year, it is obvious that it is a little close to elimination. Heisuke Mito actually thought about changing to a new machine, but as a Sony controller, he still has his own bottom line, when Sega launched the Dreamcast console, there were many tempting games, but he did not waver at all, because he knew that Sony Computer Entertainment would soon have a new machine. But when DreamBox128 came out in the middle of this year, he couldn't hold back, because the games on it were too tempting, "Resident Evil", "Final Fantasy", "Dragon Quest", "The Legend of Zelda", "GT Racing", "Silent Hill", etc., all of them are coveted masterpieces, and it is a little unbearable to take out one alone, not to mention that they are put in front of him together, and with his Sony control concentration, he finally failed to hold up.

However, Heisuke Mito still has his own bottom line, although he has already bought DreamBox128, but since then he has made up his mind that when the PS2 comes out, even if the game on it is not attractive enough, he must buy one, and now he has finally done it. There is also a small wish in his heart, hoping that the PS2 game console can catch up with those advanced like its predecessors, and finally create a more brilliant glory than the PS game console.

"I must win!" Mito Heisuke shouted hoarsely, holding the PS2 console in his arms......
