Chapter 573: Buying Zelda actually gave a switch
While the popularity of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" continued on the Internet, another hot news suddenly appeared on the hot search list.
Switch ships as many as 4 million in a week a week, and even some countries and regions are out of stock.
After seeing this news, all the major game manufacturers were in an uproar, although they felt that Nebula Games had released a big move, but no one thought that this big move was too big.
Although it is said that the games under Nebula Games have come to a wave of fractures recently, and even the switch has been fractured, and there are also machine subsidies.
The original 2000 machine, the operator reduced the price to 1799 and sold it to players, and the difference in the middle amount was supplied by Nebula Games to the supplier.
But apparently these are not enough for Switch sales to usher in such a big explosion.
The game "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is the main thing, plus the fracture of other games on the Switch at the same time, as well as the machine offer.
It can be said that the combination of these factors has long been the case of 4 million Switch shipments a week, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is a bait to seduce players, and the discounts of other games and machine discounts are an invisible hand gently pushing players behind their backs and forward.
Counting the previous global sales of switch, the platform users of switch have already exceeded 10 million, which does not seem to be high compared to the traditional PC platform.
But you have to know that these are all channel users of Nebula Games!
Players can be loyal users of game manufacturers, and choose to buy games for the sake of feelings because they recognize the style of a game manufacturer.
But it's rare for a platform to be as loyal as a player, which is why major PC platforms are now emphasizing social networking and third-party services in order to retain users.
But it's different on the switch.,At present, the handheld machine worth buying on the market is only the switch.γ
However, there are a large number of independent game studios, and there are some game manufacturers whose eyes light up after seeing the sales of the Switch.
This is a new field that has never been opened up, and compared to the PC platform where blockbusters are constantly emerging, indie games are becoming more and more large-scale triple-A games, and small-scale production can be said to be quite difficult.
But as a handheld machine, the portability and party-oriented attributes are different!
Endless game manufacturers, as well as some studios with some resumes, have applied to Nebula Games and asked for information about developing games on Switch.
With game manufacturers that directly associate their own meaning, for ordinary players, their channels are obviously not on the same line as the manufacturers.
After seeing the news about the best-selling Switch on the hot search, players who bought the Switch one by one have been discussing it on the Internet.
Speaking of this shipment, there was such a grand occasion when the switch was just released, right? β
'These players who bought a switch won't all buy it for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, right? β
'+1, you got it upstairs, you bought it for this game! β
βswitchοΌ What is that? I bought The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild! Even this game is more than 2,000 expensive! But it's a bit surprising that this game even gave a handheld. β
When the switch was first released, I held back; After the release of Super Mario: Odyssey, I also held back; Even after the "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" game came out, I pulled back the hand that I had already clicked on the payment; But when I saw the green discount that Mr. Yang gave me, I knew that I had been completely defeated. β
After placing the order, there was a moment of regret in my heart, after all, I bought a game console for this game, but after playing, I can only say: Zhen Nima Xiang! β
Although most players know that players who buy Switch purely for the game "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" cannot say that there are none, but it belongs to the relatively small number of players, most of whom have been interested in it before, and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and the discount offer are just an introduction.
But that doesn't stop Switch players from playing memes.
Jokes such as "I bought a switch for Zelda" and "bought Zelda and got a switch" also quickly spread among the player community.
Of course, in addition to the stalk that became popular, there was also a Yang Chen's emoji that became popular.
At the press conference of "Wolf: Shadow Passed Twice", Yang Chen's smile was edited by players to cooperate with "Wolf: Shadow Passed Twice" and "Dark Souls", and this time a green discount smile emoji was added.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Regarding the fact that he was made into an emoji again, Yang Chen is quite open-minded, and he will do it if he likes it.
Anyway, in the future, I have to take money from your pockets.
As for the fact that the Switch platform is valued by other game manufacturers, Yang Chen is not surprised.
When it develops to a certain scale, it will always be targeted by others.
For Nebula Games, after the steady development of the Switch in the early stage, it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it has been robust.
But at least there is no malnutrition, there is no doubt about it.
Regarding the follow-up promotion of Switch with the help of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", basically Yang Chen is not too concerned about it.
The next main task is the responsibility of the marketing department and the switch operation department, and Yang Chen himself is to retract more energy into the game "The Witcher: Wild Hunt".
For the plot of the entire game, Yang Chen has almost completed a general outline.
Of course, specific branches, such as suitable texts, still need to be fleshed out by the screenwriting team.
Otherwise, if you really want Yang Chen to write out the "Demon Hunter" in his dream memory, then he really won't do anything.
In addition to the related development of "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", Yang Chen also learned about Lin Jiayi's development of "Resident Evil 4".
Unlike at the beginning, Nebula Games' material library is now very rich, and the experience of the entire team is good enough, and the development progress of "Resident Evil 4" is beyond Yang Chen's expectations, and even the entire mold has come out.
"Do you really want to be linear?" Although before taking over "Resident Evil 4", Lin Jiayi already knew about the next new project about the plot from Yang Chen, but at that time, before seeing "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".
After seeing "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", Lin Jiayi, like most game designers, felt incredible.
Open world games are still capable of doing this!?
Even this game made him feel that the future open world should be made by the standards of this game.
According to the normal way of thinking, after developing a "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", the most important thing to do is not to continue to release similar games?
And in Lin Jiayi's opinion, many details are actually more perfect because of the function of the switch.
