Cheng Ping didn't know anything about the twists and turns in Yang Chen's heart, but after he heard Yang Chen say that he didn't make a profit with the handheld, the whole person was a little confused.

The early stage is not profitable, in order to expand the market, and then cut leeks, this kind of operation is naturally very clear.

But the key is to listen to Yang Chen's tone, they are not ready to make a profit in the handheld area?

"The profit from the handheld will be from the game and peripheral accessories." Looking at Cheng Ping's bewildered look, Yang Chen still opened his mouth to explain something.

Then Yang Chen briefly talked to Cheng Ping about some of the features of this handheld that was named switch.

First of all, this is not just a handheld that can only be played by one person, although it is positioned as a handheld.

But he can also be used as a living room game console, and the game screen can be played on a large TV.

At the same time, it is also a game console that can share happiness, and the detachable controller can be separated into two independent controllers, allowing two or more players to get together to play the game.

In addition, there is also a Bluetooth function of wireless face connection, which is required in the switch.

And these will be the technologies that will be applied to games exclusive to the Switch.

If anyone configures the gorgeous skin of the switch, then the game is the soul inside it.

What is the most important thing about a console?

It's undoubtedly the game.

For example, in the dream memory, although there is a large market for games on the PC platform, there is also a vast market, that is, living room games.

And in this field, there are three hosts in the world, and they are affectionately known as the three by players.

Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony.

Nintendo aside, Microsoft's game console can be said to crush Sony's console in terms of configuration, but why are gamers more willing to buy Sony's console?

The obvious answer is that there are more exclusive and fun games on top of people's machine platforms.

Aside from avid fans, most gamers buy consoles for the sake of gaming.

After chatting with Cheng Ping about the handheld, Yang Chen focused on the game.

SwitchThe game that debuted at the time of the reverse,Naturally, you can't just make one,As a new platform, it's completely different from the previous handheld platform,The third-party Yang Chen didn't report much hope in the early stage,At most, try to launch a sub-fruit,See how many third-party manufacturers can PY。

And their first party, in addition to porting previous games, also has the most critical exclusive game, which is also the main trump card that attracts players.

"Wang Ye can set up a project team alone, and Lin Jiayi and their side are still developing DLC after "Torture and Killing", and they can also be responsible for a project." Yang Chen thought about it in his heart, and there was not much of a problem with manpower.

And in addition to a few more complex and grand games, he plans to develop them himself, and there are some games that are not too complicated but just happen to be able to experience the characteristics of the switch, Yang Chen plans to hand them over to Lin Jiayi and Wang Ye for development.

Sitting in front of the computer, Yang Chen closed his eyes, recalling the contents of the dream memory in his mind.

Finally, on the document, Yang Chen wrote a few big words of "Super Mario: Odyssey".

In fact, compared to "Super Mario: Odyssey", Yang Chen also considered another game, that is, "Mario Galaxy".

But in the end, Yang Chen still chose "Super Mario: Odyssey", not to say that "Mario Galaxy" is bad, but because "Super Mario: Odyssey" is more suitable for Switch in terms of operation and interoperability, as well as its game concept, after all, this itself is also a game developed as a Switch escort masterpiece.

A box garden game that can be called the ultimate existence, "Super Mario: Odyssey" blurs the levels in the box garden, giving players an alternative freedom.

It's not the open-ended worlds of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain, nor is it a sandbox like Minecraft.

Instead, the level is blurred, creating a box garden, and then whatever the player plays.

The official target is given to the big and small bosses of each level, but you can completely ignore him, as long as you collect enough Moon of Power, you can pat your ass and leave.

The game will also be able to take advantage of the unique motion mode, as well as 3D haptic vibrations.

One of the most significant features in the gameplay is the "hat" system, compared with the traditional jumping and fist attacks, the attack performance of the hat in the game can be said to be too strong, too comfortable, and very friendly to light players; In addition, the greater role of the hat is "possession", through which the player can attach the hat to some NPCs and enemies to exert their characteristics or skills.

This gives players a lot of new things to try, and the different scene changes and art styles in the game can also be said to be amazing.

In the dream memory, when the sales of the Switch reached 20 million, the sales of Super Mario: Odyssey reached 10 million.

That's the equivalent of every two Switch players buying a Super Mario: Odyssey, and that's not the data that can be counted on the second-hand cassette market.

In addition, this is also a family game that Yang Chen wants.

From the plot point of view, in fact, "Super Mario: Odyssey" is not a little special at all, after all, without the blessing of IP, players have no way to experience the emotion, such as the Kuba Demon King who has been robbing the princess for more than 30 years, and then being stopped by Uncle Mario with a red hat.

To put it simply, this is a simple story of the Great Demon King of Kuba capturing the princess and proposing, and then Uncle Mario went to rescue the princess and proposed, and finally the princess traveled around the world and left Mario and Kuba to 'make a couple'.

The game itself tends to be a fairy-tale style, so that people of any age can enjoy the fun of the game.

There is no blood, no violence, it is a very pure game, that is, interactive art, so that the player's focus is always on the gameplay and level design.

After determining Super Mario: Odyssey as the first exclusive game developed by the switch, Yang Chen did not immediately start perfecting GDD.

The main reason is that it can't be used for the time being, because the current team is still preparing to develop "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", and according to Cheng Ping's situation, the prototype of the switch is estimated to be impossible to get out without two or three months.

In the absence of a prototype, even if GDD and team members are all in place, it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
