Almighty Game Designer Chapter 512: On sale, grab it!

While the topic continued to ferment, a Weibo by Chen Mo instantly detonated the heat.

This is a promotional video for the new handheld.

A beautiful girl is playing Switch on the TV at home, and the game screen can be clearly seen on the TV.

She slumped on the sofa, leaning on all sides, making various postures with her left and right hands from time to time, and Mario in the screen was constantly performing corresponding actions.

The screen turned around and came to the airport. After sitting on the seat, the girl opened the bracket behind the handheld and played games on the plane.

In the car, at the party...

Several scenes have been switched continuously, and the girl is not only playing "Super Mario" but also many very simple somatosensory games.

Chen Mo also took the time to make a collection of small games. These small games are mainly from "1-2-Switch", including cowboy duels, milking cows, empty-handed, table tennis and so on.

These mini games are all good choices for parties, because these games don’t need to stare at the screen, just stare at the opponent’s eyes for somatosensory operations.

In the promo, the girl and her girlfriends do not look at the handheld screen at all, but hold the handles to look at each other and pose in various poses, which also makes many people feel novel.

After seeing the video of Chen Mo in class and the promotional video of the handheld, the trend of many game media people has also changed.

"Maybe we have all misunderstood Chen Mo's intentions. The biggest advantage of Switch lies in the collection, which brings a lot of content that we overlooked to one device!"

"For example, we had somatosensory games before, but the traditional somatosensory gameplay was too single, and most players would not buy special equipment just to play such a single somatosensory game or two."

"For another example, there are actually many casual action games on the market, but none of them have reached the level of "Super Mario Odyssey". Although there are some games that have a two-player mode, but a person like Odyssey The mode of controlling the protagonist alone to control the hat has never appeared!"

"The advantage of Switch is that it integrates all these elements that we have overlooked into one machine. Obviously, part of the current player community likes somatosensory games and this type of casual games. With the emergence of Switch, these people can complete these demands at the lowest cost!"

"Chen Mo thoughtfully prepared two plans for them. If you are still on the sidelines and your wallet is not rich, you can buy only two handles. These two handles have somatosensory technology and vibration technology to connect to your mobile phone. Or after the computer, you can also feel the fun of the game."

"If you have requirements for gameplay, you can buy a full set of handheld devices, which are actually not too expensive. In addition to the price of the handle, the body of the handheld is actually only 1,500 yuan. Mobile phones at the same price are a few levels ahead in performance!"

……

At the same time, many independent designers on the Thunder game platform have also received news, and Chen Mo encouraged these designers to modify their games into controller-operated versions.

In fact, it is very simple to change, because the handle operation mode has a set of basic rules. Chen Mo only needs to give these basic rules to these designers, and then let them play freely.

Some casual games, light action games, and puzzle games can all be changed to handheld versions without any pressure.

Moreover, Chen Mo has a certain discount on the handheld version of these games. Basically, they give an extra 10% to the designers, which is equivalent to encouraging everyone to develop games specifically for the handheld mode.

Many independent game designers have spotted this opportunity and changed their games to compatible handheld versions, and some designers even consider developing independent games that integrate somatosensory modes like Odyssey.

Of course, most people are still on the sidelines, because no one knows whether this brand new model will be accepted by players, and it is completely uncertain how much controllers and handhelds can sell.

Everything only depends on sales!

……

On May 1, after nearly three months of preparation, the Switch will be officially released with "Super Mario Odyssey"!

This time, it is basically based on online purchases. Just like when most mobile phones are on sale, the purchase link of the Switch is displayed on the official website and several relatively large shopping websites at the same time.

Of course, in addition to "Super Mario Odyssey", the Switch is also equipped with many other mini games by default, such as cowboy duels, etc. These mini games are not large, but they are special for parties and two-player games. Occasion, it can best reflect the characteristics of this handheld.

Before the launch, the evaluation of the Switch showed a polarization.

Some people became interested after seeing the trial video of the Switch. They were pleasantly surprised by this brand-new somatosensory game and two-player game mode. They firmly believe that the Switch handheld has something that other devices don’t Features ~IndoMTL.com~ For example, a more complete somatosensory system, can play anytime, anywhere, and can be seamlessly connected to TVs and other devices, which will be a very key advantage.

But there are also many people who scream badly, especially those who have had a fight with Chen Mo for a long time, still firmly believe that this handheld will not succeed, at most they will not lose or make money.

There are many reasons for them. On the one hand, when smartphones are so popular, the positioning of handhelds and mobile phones is a bit overlapped. On the other hand, there are PCs and VR game pods at home, and there may not be anyone dedicated Buy a handheld and play on TV.

Moreover, many people think that even if Chen Mo uses his Thunder game platform to provide a large game library for this handheld, most of the games are forcibly changed. The players are the same on mobile phones as on computers. Why do we have to play on the handheld?

The two factions are very happy, and all the results will not be decided until the sales are released.

……

In the dormitory of World University.

Several game design majors are all crowded in front of the computer.

"On sale at 10 am, there are five minutes left, get ready now."

"Don't worry about it? This is not a train ticket grab."

"That's not good. Chen Mo didn't announce the specific stocking figures. If he prepared relatively little, for example, only tens of thousands of units, wouldn't he be robbed all at once? China just supports Chen Mo. There are so many players!"

"That can't be right? After all, there are only a few of us who buy as soon as they come up. I think most people want to wait and see."

"Anyway, please pay attention, we can grab one in a dormitory, but it will be embarrassing if we can't get one at that time!"

"That's not possible. Just because of the speed of grabbing train tickets, isn't it trivial to grab a handheld?"
