The launch of handheld game consoles is, of course, in Japan, an area where red and white consoles have been basically popular. In the two major markets of Europe and the United States, the sales of red and white machines are in the sales curve at the moment, that steep growth range. Naturally, it is impossible to launch the red and white machine by itself and grab its own market.

Moreover, in the entire Chiba game, except for Lin Yan, no one can be sure what kind of sales the handheld will have, and whether it will be accepted by the majority of players. Will it become as popular as the red and white machine, with sales reaching tens of millions, or will not many players buy it at all.

Yuki Chiba has already entered the University of Tokyo, and of course it is impossible to continue to meet Hayashi in school. In the office of Chiba Games, Chiba Yuki looked at the newspaper report about the handheld and asked Dobayashi, "It's not a color screen, but a black and white screen, is it really okay?" I understand what you're saying, but I still think the color screen looks better. Our black-and-white screen, a hellish gaming watch, or a video game league's electronic pet machine, it doesn't seem to make a difference. And it's so expensive, will anyone really buy it? ”

Lin Yan pondered for a while and said, "I don't dare to guarantee that the handheld will be successful, and there will be many sales." While I know what players like about games, I don't know if they're comfortable with handhelds. Perhaps, the concept of handheld is still too advanced, and they may not be able to accept it. However, I think there is still a relatively large hope to achieve a relatively large sales result.

Because, any hell's inferior handheld game console, a game watch that can only play one game, can be sold for more than a year. Our handheld is capable of changing cassette. Being able to play more games, the fun and playability of games are far greater than those of game watches. Although it is a bit more expensive compared to a gaming watch. However, it's a handheld red-and-white machine that you can take with you around. Its price is only the average of a red and white machine.

The most important thing is that hardware is not our advantage, our advantage lies in the rich game content.

"Super Mario Bros. has been completed by five people", and the other debut games are also some of the most popular games on red and white consoles. There are puzzle match-playing games, as well as side-scrolling games like Mario.

I believe that these interesting games will allow players to choose our home handheld platform. ”

Lin Yan said so much in a series before he stopped. He looked at Yuki Chiba's expression and knew that what he said was a little off-topic.

So, he went back and said, "Of course I know that color screens are better and more expressive. However, there is no color screen that has been able to meet my requirements yet. Today's color screens, whether they use cathode ray tubes to achieve display effects, or color LCD screens. It's too much electricity. I believe that no gamer will like a game console that needs to change the battery halfway through the game. Playing for a day requires players to spend a month's pocket money to buy a battery for a game console. ”

Chiba Yuki looked at Lin Yan's confident appearance, and knew how much he questioned it now. It doesn't change the fact that the product was released on time.

Besides, there has already been a new product launch conference, if it is said that the opening of purchases will be delayed at this time. It was also a big blow to the credibility of Chiba Games.

Yuki Chiba opened the sample of the handheld in his hand and tried to play the game for a while. It seems that this machine is really not as bad as the media report said.

Maybe. These reports in the media are all the result of the efforts of competitors.

Of course, a lot of the media coverage comes from the benefits of the video game league. When it was known that Chiba Games was planning to engage in portable game consoles, the Video Game League quickly followed.

After the video game alliance game console project was established, the target configuration was very simple, it was a handheld that was better than the rumored Chiba game handheld configuration.

Therefore, in order to guarantee the quality of the picture, the video game league did not choose to use the color LCD screen that is now heavily ghosted. Instead, they chose the same cathode ray tube technology as the TV set of the current era.

You know, the display principle of cathode ray tube technology is a little similar to that of a projector. In other words, no matter how big the screen is, the cathode ray tube that emits the light source must be at a corresponding distance from the screen.

This is also the reason why the larger the TV screen, the larger the bag at the back.

The screen on the handheld is not large, so naturally there is no need for the cathode ray tube to be far from the screen. However, the scale of this distance is based on the TV set.

If, measured by a handheld computer, this thickness is a little thicker.

Also, because the cathode ray tube excites the image, a high-voltage current is required. Therefore, the demand for batteries has become high. It is also necessary to paste the same words on the back of the handheld as on the TV, "There is high voltage inside, do not disassemble".

Of course, this is corresponded to by the improvement of image quality. The picture is really good, it can be said that it is the same as a dime of color TV screens.

As for the content of the game, given that there are not too many famous game series in the video game league, but it can't be too chilling at the time of launch, so I chose the general well-known series to make a handheld version of the game console.

Of course, the promotional slogan also corresponds to Chiba games. However, it is not a "red and white machine that you can play whenever you want", but an "arcade machine that you can hold in your hand".

After all, the advantage of the video game league is also in the arcade side. On home game consoles, the video game alliance was almost pressed and beaten by Chiba Games, and there was no way to fight back. Naturally, it is also difficult to launch some game series with a lot of impact.

You know, today's "Super Mario Bros." series, not only in Japan, but also in Europe and the United States, there are countless people who like this long-bearded Italian wearing suspenders and a red hat.

In addition, manufacturers such as breakfast cereals, toilet paper, etc., came to Chiba Games to discuss the licensing of images. It is even said that MGM, one of Hollywood's giants, contacted Chiba Games, hoping to turn "Mario" into a live-action movie.

Regarding the live-action "Mario" movie, Lin Yan does not have any optimistic views. After all, the story told by the Mario series itself is very simple, and there is no touching story core.

And the Mario that the audience wants to see is unlikely to be the real person on the screen to tease Mario.

Although he knew that this matter was very unreliable, he did not intervene, after all, it was not his business. All he had to do was make a good game. (To be continued......)
