The news that Mars Entertainment's first handheld game console will be released in New York began to be overwhelmingly publicized in various media half a month in advance.

The three major television networks, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune and other large media covering the whole United States have received huge advertising fees for popular distributions, as the saying goes, people die for money, these capitalist newspapers will not care that they have questioned the Mars Entertainment before, as long as Mars Entertainment has a lot of money, they don't mind a very sensual tout of them.

In a short period of time, Mars Entertainment has almost become a leader in the American video game industry, of course, this is also true, because Mars Entertainment is indeed the most famous and profitable in the American video game industry.

And Jester's nomination for the American Young Entrepreneur of the Year by the American Academy Entrepreneurs Association and Business Week is also getting louder and louder, because Jester is too outstanding among the candidates.

This time, the number of electronic pets ready for release has increased to six, compared to three when they were released in Japan a month ago, and the latest three are also the first time to meet players, and they have not been released to the public before.

Of course, the three popular flagship stores that have already been built will also be sold at the same time after the premiere ceremony in New York.

According to ABC, a total of one million units have been prepared for this popular release, and the production capacity of the OEM companies in Japan is fully opened, and the number of nearly one million units can be produced in a month, which is absolutely enough to supply, and it will never appear when it is released in Japan, and after the sales explode, it will all be sold out in just half a day.

At 8 a.m., thirty minutes before the opening of Mars Entertainment's second demo, it was already crowded near Rockefeller Center in Manhattan.

Because of the large number of people, Fengxing Distribution had to ask the NYPD to help maintain law and order.

Of course, police dispatches in the United States cost money.

This time it's not all rented locations, but the property that Jester directly asked Carly to spend money to buy here, and when the trial is over, it will officially open as the fourth flagship store of the popular release.

After all, New York is the heart of the whole United States, and Jester also intends to place the launch ceremony of his home machine here.

This time, the number of people who came to New York to participate in the trial was much higher than the last time in Chicago, and even some of the big media that disdained to come last time no longer disdain video games, after all, if you are not blind, you can see the current Mars entertainment, especially in the eyes of young people who like video games, it has become a phenomenon in the United States.

Even after seeing the shocking success of Mars Entertainment, Atari's Trammell broke his word and prepared to let Atari quietly return to the video game industry. For example, they will be re-launching the VCS7200 that had been abandoned at the end of the year, and just recently Atari announced that this new high-performance console will be backward compatible with all VCS2600 games along with new games.

Jester doesn't pay much attention to this, the current Atari is no longer all focused on games, and many of their elites about game development have been poached by themselves, just with the current Atari, he is not in his eyes at all.

At this time, he knew that he would only have two enemies in the future, one was Nintendo, which was now rampant in Japan, and the other was Sega, which could not be underestimated.

Jack Stella, an editor at Newsweek magazine, was tasked with participating in the Mars Entertainment player demo and writing a manuscript on his return. In fact, he himself did not understand why Newsweek, which had always been high, would report on such a video game that was about to be swept into the corner of history.

Although when Atari was on the rise, Newsweek did not report less. But at that time, the scale of Atari was not comparable to that of Mars Entertainment today, and the video game industry was booming at that time, nor was it the twilight scene it is now.

The staggering 300,000 copies of the recently released issue of GAME made those of them drop their jaws.

To be honest, the sales of 300,000 copies are far worse than their "Newsweek", but the problem is that the other party is only the first issue of the magazine, and it is also a genre magazine, specializing in games, on the one hand, it is far from a comprehensive publication like theirs, and the face of the crowd is only video game players, not the owners of their kind of publication.

But they still managed to sell 300,000 copies, which is a miracle in the eyes of those of them who have been reading books for so many years.

Truth be told, Jack Stella, who is in his thirties, has little interest in video games, he is the kind of good student who is seen by his teachers as a good student, graduated from Columbia University with a degree in journalism, and then worked at Newsweek, where he has been until now.

He was very reluctant to send him to participate in such a player trial held by a certain game company this time.

But who called him the least qualified?

To his surprise, as soon as he arrived at Rockefeller Center in the morning, he saw the flow of people who almost flooded the entire Rockefeller Plaza.

It seems difficult to accurately describe the scene in front of you when it is described by water leakage.

On the most conspicuous 70-story skyscraper in Rockefeller Plaza, a huge banner 200 meters long stretched from the top, which read that this popular release will officially launch the advertisement for their first handheld computer produced by Mars Entertainment.

Not only that, but this time this demo, which Carly is solely responsible for, and the Pokemon electronic pet machine US launch event is much higher than the last Jester.

This time, Carly also hired a plane to shoot a Mars Entertainment advertising banner into the sky.

Five planes with advertisements on the tail of the plane circled around New York City, and even many people who had never heard of Mars Entertainment had a hint of interest in the sale.

Jack Stella slowly moved forward with the flow of people, while looking at the huge advertising banner of the huge bag, he had already learned from his Japanese counterparts, this time the Pokemon pet machine had been released in Japan a month ago, and caused a huge sensation, the whole 200,000 units were sold out in just one and a half days.

He was also a little curious about this, can this thing really sell so hot?

As he lined up, Jack Stella even saw a lot of dusty Japanese, who were not very good at English, but for the sake of first-hand news, Jack Stella still patiently chatted with a Japanese man in front of him.

After chatting for a while, Jack Stella could tell from the tongue-curling pronunciation of the other party that the other party had just come from Japan.

As soon as he arrived in New York, he went straight here, and he didn't even have time to book a hotel, so he came here to queue, but when he came, he saw that there were already hundreds of people queuing.

This Japanese is the owner of an electronics store in Akihabara in Japan, and the last time he cooperated with Mars Entertainment Japan to sell the Japanese version of the Pokemon electronic pet machine, he made a mess, and this time the new release was not set in Japan, but in the United States.

As soon as the news reached Japan, it caused some commotion, and many players who had purchased the previous three electronic pet machines protested, but more orders came in like snowflakes.

Countless enthusiastic gamers came to Akihabara and asked if they could buy the new electronic pet machine released in the United States in advance, even if it was double the price, the only question was whether they could buy it at all.

At first, Akihabara bosses like him didn't pay much attention, but after a few days, he realized that something was wrong with the shape, and then the owners of the store in Akihabara combined, only to find that in just a few days, the number of pet machines that came to order this new version of the pet machine from them exceeded 100,000 units.

That's an extremely staggering number.

So these people summed it up again, and decided to come to the United States to buy it in person, this time not only him, but also many owners like him who opened stores in Akihabara, and they also hired a large number of American locals to act as a buying army, and after the sale, they also had to buy it from the players who bought it, the price of an electronic pet machine is 99 US dollars, and they will increase the price by 30% to buy it, and after shipping back to Japan, it can be sold for more than 200 US dollars.

In the case of the gold version, the boss sued Jack Stella that he had already been offered $100,000.

And it's still in short supply, because they have consulted Mars Entertainment to follow the popular publishing company before, this time the sales time of the Japanese version has been put to the end, and the estimated time is the end of the year, and the release event in Japan will be arranged after the release of the European version, for those enthusiastic players in Japan, this period of time must not wait.

And now Japan, it's really not bad for money. The Japanese are clamoring to buy the whole world.

After hearing the Japanese man's explanation, Jack Stella also secretly smacked his tongue, he didn't expect that there would be such a big business opportunity in this small electronic pet machine.

The Pokemon electronic pet machine will be released at twelve o'clock, and it will be a trial before that.

By the time it was Jack Stella's turn to get the pass plate and enter the trial venue, it was already more than ten o'clock, and this time the popular release had the first experience, doubling the number of trial machines, but when Jack Stella entered the venue, he still couldn't find a few free machines.

And this time, the most popular among players is no longer "Snowman Brothers", which made a splash during the last demo, but a new game called "Avengers" that Mars Entertainment has just released two levels of content.

Before coming, Jack Stella, who has never played games before, asked a colleague of his to borrow a copy of "GAME" magazine to look through it, and there was a lot of information about Mars entertainment, including the first two levels of the new game.

And the earliest news that the first two levels of the game will be released at this demo meeting appeared in the magazine of "GAME".

In this article, the editor who wrote the article praised the Avengers almost as much as possible, claiming that it was a game that surpassed all the games that had appeared so far, and that it was perfect in every way, and that it shocked him like the advertising slogan on the arcade frame of Mars Entertainment, 'This game is from Mars', and specifically pointed out that he was still playing the abandoned version, and the official version was definitely much better than the abandoned version.

At the end of the article, the editor mocked that after reading his article, he would inevitably question whether he was bragging: "If you don't believe me, then please wait for the demo in New York, I've gotten the exact news from the top of Mars Entertainment that they're going to be offering the game's abandoned two-level arcade for players to try." ”

Originally, some people said that the editor was blowing nonsense and didn't know how much money he received from Mars Entertainment, but now that Jack Stella saw it in the demo hall, it seems that what was said in that article cannot be considered a lie.

Stopping a player who had just finished playing the first two levels of "Avengers", Jack Stella first identified himself as a reporter for Newsweek, and then asked the player: "Is the game "Avengers" really as good as it was said in "GAME" magazine? ”

The player first glanced at Jack Stella with a look of incredulity, as if wondering why the man claiming to be a Newsweek reporter would ask such a stupid question.

Only then does the player begin to answer.

"I can't believe what I've been through for the past two months!" His tone was agitated and fast, like a machine gun, and in this noisy environment, Jack Stella almost needed to concentrate to hear clearly.

"More than two months ago, when I first played American Cubes, I thought it was the best game I had ever played, and the Atari games I played before were just rubbish, only Nintendo's Donkey Kong might be compared to it, but when I played Snowman Brothers a month ago, I suddenly felt that Donkey Kong was nothing more than that, it was not qualified to be compared with Snowman Brothers, Donkey Kong was not bad, but outdated, after all, it had been many years, I thought at the time that " Snowman Brothers, like Donkey Kong, has been popular for many years and has always held the title of the best game in the world. ”

"But......" said the player's tone again in an unbelievable tone, in an exclamation that Jack Stella had never heard before.

"'The Avengers' is so TM...... I'm sorry, I really can't find an exact adjective to describe this game, I think it's an insult to this game to describe it as excellent, because it completely destroyed my perception of the game and rebuilt my three views, which is simply not something that humans can make, it's so good, I'm sorry I insulted this game again, but I really can't help it, and I heard that this is still just an abandoned version? Is it even better than this abandoned version of the official release? ”

In the end, it seems to Jack Stella that the other party is not describing a game at all, but describing some kind of black technology from aliens.

“…… I'm telling you, I heard that you're a reporter for Newsweek, so I'm going to ask you to do me a favor, and please be sure to add this sentence of mine when reporting on this game, so that those people at Mars Entertainment know that this is what our players mean, 'Don't be in the mother-in-law's!' Hurry up and go on sale! We don't mind even if it's an abandoned version! ’。 ”
