Now ga developers have more options.
If you're relatively poor and don't have much money, you can start by developing PC gas.
Because PC gas don't require consideration of ga console licensing fees and cartridge production costs.
Costs can be saved by at least half.
So, in other words, as long as the profit from PC gas is half of what ga console gas make, it's still profitable.
With this temptation, more people are getting into PC ga developnt.
However, console gas often have higher sales, generally selling three to five tis more than gas on PC.
Obviously, most players have gradually embraced console gaming and believe that playing gas should be done with consoles, not computers. They still haven't completely seen computers as an entertainnt product.
So once a ga developer reaches a certain scale, they will still choose to release their gas on consoles.
Just in the first month of 1996, more than a hundred ga companies were founded in the United States, and hot money quickly poured into this burgeoning industry.
However, among these people, they know that there is still only one dominant force in the gaming industry, and that is Gastar Electronic Entertainnt.
So far, no one has been able to shake its position.
Even Surai Electronics can barely keep up with them.
By the ti February 1996 arrived, after nearly two years, Gastar Electronic Entertainnt finally officially released the ga they had secretly developed for nearly half a year.
Super troid.
Its story follows imdiately after the last story of troid 2: Samus Returns. Samus, carrying a troid hatchling, travels to a scientific planet in the Galactic Federation.
But shortly after landing, space pirates co knocking and kidnap the troid hatchling.
Samus has no choice but to embark on another journey to rescue the troid hatchling.
This ga can be said to have appeared after much anticipation.
Two years.
Do you know how those two years passed?
This is what many loyal troid players are thinking.
When they saw the real promotional video of troid, so of them even had moist eyes.
They have been waiting for a new story for a long ti, but Gastar Electronic Entertainnt just wouldn't make it.
If it were Surai Electronics or other ga companies, they probably would have developed three or four sequels by now.
But Gastar Electronic Entertainnt is really a big company with a large number of IPs.
They can easily continue to make a series of gas, and the position of troid doesn't seem so important anymore.
But under the call of countless players, Gastar Electronic Entertainnt finally seed to hear the players' voices and promised to continue making troid gas. Finally, at the last mont, the ga was made.
Players were very excited.
They have never been so excited before.
However, in February, only a few ga footage trailers were released, along with the official announcent of the ga's price.
In Japan, the price is 8,900 yen, and in the United States, it's $99.
If you plan to purchase an SFC ga console, you can get a discount of 1,000 yen and $10, respectively, which is intended to further boost the sales of ga consoles.
The price of this ga is already terrifying.
Most of the costs are concentrated on the specially made ga cartridges.
Just the cost of mass-producing ga cartridges is already as high as 2,000 yen.
Plus packaging and shipping, the cost of each cartridge box is around 3,500 yen.
For a general ga company, this would probably be unbearable.
For a brand new IP ga, it would probably be difficult to recoup the cost.
But troid already has a certain player base, and coupled with the fact that it's a ga released after two years, players actually feel that this price is acceptable.
But for new players, this makes them hesitate a bit.
With this money, they can buy two slightly outdated SFC gas that are still very fun. The launch price of troid is indeed a bit too high.
But this is not a problem. As long as the quality of the ga itself is outstanding, then the subsequent sales will definitely not be too low.
On Takahashi Ushito's side, he finally understood that Gastar Electronic Entertainnt was indeed not to be underestimated. They were really preparing to make a big move.
How could an ordinary ga sell for so much?
When things go against the norm, there must be sothing behind it. This ga definitely has its own unique features.
Gastar Electronic Entertainnt is different from other ga companies. Whenever they do sothing out of the ordinary, it's definitely planned. There has never been any accidents.
So this ti, Takahashi Ushito didn't underestimate Gastar Electronic Entertainnt either.
He imdiately decided to take a step back.
Obviously, Gastar Electronic Entertainnt is coming aggressively, ready to show off its muscles to the industry once again.
Takahashi Ushito, who seems to have a bit of Gastar Electronic Entertainnt PTSD, seems to have already sensed what's coming.
Sotis avoiding confrontation is not embarrassing.
If you plan to compete head-on with Gastar Electronic Entertainnt, invest a huge cost, clash directly, and then suffer heavy losses, that would be the most foolish thing to do.
But Takahashi Ushito is cautious, but other ga companies are not so cautious.
Especially Lil'lda, who has been in the lilight recently.
They made quite a bit of money in this gaming industry boom.
It seems that players are quite receptive to them.
The founder of Lil'lda himself is also a big ga enthusiast, so the gas he developed are all quite good.
And with Gastar Electronic Entertainnt quiet for most of the year, they seed to have forgotten the fear of being dominated by Gastar Electronic Entertainnt.
They want to challenge Gastar Electronic Entertainnt head-on.
