Chapter 98: This DLC will feed me for half my life.
According to venue staff, fewer than 500 people attended the event.
Logically speaking, having a thousand copies of each of the two refill packs in stock should be enough.
Everything went haywire until the first person bought 10 tickets at once.
Sam had to temporarily add restrictions, stipulating that each person could only buy a maximum of two tickets, before order was restored.
Besides the players present, a group of insightful individuals have also begun to take action.
On New Year's Day evening.
Tents have been set up densely in front of the game store.
A holiday?
What holiday do we celebrate?
Is it really important to be able to snag a first-release copy of "The King of Fighters" during a holiday?
The store manager looked through the glass window at the long queue outside, sighed helplessly, and turned on the television set on the outer side.
"Friends, the supplier has a rule that I really can't show you the real thing in advance."
He switched the TVs with the signal to channel 29, "Let's watch some programs to satisfy our cravings."
Although everyone came for GAMENOVA, they were still supporting his business.
"Long live!"
"Manager, please have a seat. There's still room here!"
"Come and see, this kid has cheated again. If he can't roll a rising dragon this time, he can leave the game."
On the screen, the friendly match is already halfway through.
John stood opposite Schwarzenegger, his grip on the joystick trembling so badly he could barely hold on.
Although he switched back to Street Fighter, a game that everyone is familiar with and skilled at, he simply couldn't control himself when facing his idol.
It was truly worth dying for!
The price of the extended floppy disk drive was ultimately set at $119.9 per unit, which is about half the price of NovaBo.
-
Even so, they still managed to sell a full 10 units on the first day.
The basic cartridge of "The King of Fighters" has sold over 50 copies.
The bundle, especially the basic version, the superpower team, and the female fighter team, is in high demand and short supply.
Faced with this expensive and risky new machine, most people still choose to remain on the sidelines and wait and see.
If you want me to buy "The King of Fighters," no problem. This game is definitely worth playing.
However, spending a few hundred more dollars to complete the peripherals and supplementary kits is something that needs to be seriously considered.
However, this situation did not last long.
The player community found a perfect solution on the very second day.
"Anyone interested in group buying on 19th Street? I have an extended floppy disk drive on 19th Street, could you please share a Mai Shiranui image?"
"Is anyone on Oak Avenue forming a card-trading club? I have some Ikari Warriors booster packs here—"
Perhaps the previous Pokémon trading system reminded them of something.
Players gathered in the arcade spontaneously formed a new community.
As long as you agree in advance who will buy which booster pack, you can experience different teams by exchanging them.
If you want to experience truly complete freedom in team composition, each player can contribute an expansion disc drive.
It has to be said that GAMENOVA's team system in "The King of Fighters '86" was a brilliant idea.
It naturally turns this game into a modular product.
Or rather, it's a collection package.
Players can freely choose which set to buy based on their budget and preferences.
Furthermore, since character booster packs are significantly cheaper than the base game, this mechanism actually lowers the barrier to entry for purchasing them.
Aside from the mandatory expense of expanding the CD-ROM drive, you can get three new characters, exclusive background music, and maps for less than half the price of the base game.
Meyer, who stares at financial reports every day, certainly understands this best.
The sales curve of The King of Fighters '86 is completely different from that of other products in the past.
It neither soars straight to the top like in Pokémon Red and Green, nor draws a perfect zigzag line like in Story of Seasons.
Its sales are steady and strong.
"Mr. Lin, the sales cycle of The King of Fighters '86 should be longer than we expected! We can even extend its popularity by updating with more booster packs."
Meyer sounded very excited; a long-term meal ticket was absolutely significant to him as a distributor.
He continued flipping through the reports, his gaze sweeping over the column that read "Hitbo".
"However, Mr. Lin, I really didn't expect Hitbo to sell over 30,000 units. If the price increase continues, Hitbo..."
It should also be able to catch up with the light gun.
On the other end of the phone, Lin Lixin laughed heartily.
Even he was somewhat surprised by Hitbo's sales performance.
This thing was created specifically for fighting games.
When playing other types of games, especially casual games, its user experience is completely incomparable to that of a gamepad.
"It must be thanks to that TV show. It was definitely the right decision to add an extra camera to record the contestants' hands."
The popularity of the first EV0 far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Although the final ratings remained around 1.5%, the ratings surprisingly jumped up again during the late-night slot and the rebroadcast the following morning.
Keep in mind that this already represents nearly half the success of those established prime-time programs.
McCoy immediately decided to add a few more replays.
As long as this show continues, even if the second episode airs next week or next month, it will definitely be gradually cultivated into a mainstay of their Channel 29.
Meyer was well aware of the program Lin Lixin was referring to. As GAMENOVA's most loyal soldier, Meyer ordered all employees to watch the program on time on the day it aired.
"I never expected that a group of people playing games could attract so many viewers."
"I call it esports, Mr. Meyer. It will be an important branch of our future gaming culture."
All the matches in the first episode, except for the friendly matches, were pre-arranged exhibition matches.
Once they actually establish the formal competition rules and focus on those star players, there will be so much to do.
In this regard, we can arrange to work together with the Japanese firm we recently acquired.
"Speaking of which—how are the sales of the various booster packs going so far?"
What do you think?
Meyer countered with a smile, "Mr. Lin, the best-selling items right now are the Female Fighter Pack and the Superpower Pack; the competition is very close."
"Those two groups haven't finished fighting yet?"
Lin Lixin was amused.
Asaka and Yui were sent back to their home country not long after the show ended. However, the struggle surrounding the two of them, or more precisely, the two characters, has continued to this day.
The comparison between cuteness and sexiness may not have a definitive answer until the end of humanity.
Lin Lixin hung up the phone and glanced at the date.
Between 86 and 87, there was a period when many masterpieces of the gaming world were created.
To solidify and continue expanding their base in this era, they need more high-quality products.
His gaze fell on the neatly stacked floppy disks on the cabinet, lingering on "Might and Magic".
"Arranging troops and deploying formations—"
In the realm of SRPGs, there seems to be a truly legendary IP.
It is also the world's most classic strategy game IP.
