章節 299: Not afraid even if you don't buy
When GameStar Entertainment announced its new game console, it was completely unexpected.
If you weren't someone who regularly checked the GameStar official website, you wouldn't have noticed at all.
This wave of announcements was also very sudden, conveniently timed to coincide with the issuance of the new regulations in the United States.
Anyone with eyes can see that this is definitely aimed at the new US regulations.
But, they're still calling it the GB series?
GBA? Shouldn't that be a completely upgraded version compared to the GBC?
But if it's just an upgrade, it'll probably be cracked easily.
But unlike GB and GBC, if GBA is cracked, it could potentially face legal troubles.
Because US rules can't possibly cover everything, if they really did this, it could lead to desperate measures.
The US government just wants to make more money and then slightly promote the development of their own people.
Fishing in troubled waters is not something they want to do.
As industry insiders in the electronic gaming world, as soon as they learned about the new developments on the GameStar Entertainment official website, they rushed to check it out, eager to see what the new console was all about.
Of course, the core gamers also immediately logged onto the GameStar Entertainment website to check out the latest gaming console news.
GBA, with a 32-bit main chip, will be able to run games with richer details such as color, content, and sound effects.
Oh, just a performance upgrade.
Wait a minute?
32 bits?
Using a 32-bit chip in a handheld console?
That's quite a leap, isn't it?
Your console is still 16 bits, right?
Previously, both GBC and GB were still at the eight-bit level, but now they've jumped to 32 bits, which is somewhat unexpected.
But this won't elicit much of a reaction from them.
"It seems like GameStar Entertainment intends to launch a new handheld console to bypass the new US strategy. However, just upgrading the performance may not necessarily convince most players to switch to a new gaming console. After all, players aren't idiots. GB and GBC can now play a variety of games for free, with no legal risk. With GBA, you'll have to start spending money to play games, which leads to two different outcomes."
On the internet, some people have already begun carefully studying the performance of the GBA.
In their research, they were astonished to find that this thing could actually be more powerful than the SFC, which GameStar Entertainment currently sells.
After all, it has a 32-bit CPU, which is like an existence in a different dimension. However, in terms of graphics performance, the SFC still has a slight edge, but this seems to be becoming less important.
Suddenly, some US game companies began to feel uneasy.
They began anxiously looking into the upcoming information about GBA.
In the introduction, GBA will seamlessly backward compatible with all GB and GBC games, and at the same time, it will also enhance the originally not-so-good graphics, making those games visually more impressive.
This is almost a standard operation for GameStar Entertainment, compatible with old games, allowing players to seamlessly transition without needing to switch to new cartridges, just use the old cartridges to easily enjoy them.
So far, all the page introductions have only described the performance and graphics performance of this console, but people still haven't seen the true face of this console.
This started to make these guys a bit restless. They were eager to know what this console actually looks like.
Next up is about the first few games to be launched on GBA.
The first to launch is Metroid Fusion, which is considered the fourth generation of Metroid. The third generation was already launched on SFC and sold over a million copies.
This time, Metroid is once again taking on a big task to escort the new handheld console.
After Metroid, there's a new IP called Wario Ware: Big Turn.
Wario originally appeared in Super Mario World: Six Golden Coins for the SFC as an antagonist.
Unexpectedly, GameStar Entertainment actually created a new game specifically for an antagonist.
The most prominent thing in the introduction of this game is a brand new term: gyroscope.
The cartridge of this game will be embedded with a miniature gyroscope, which will help the game itself have a completely new gameplay.
Players can shake the handheld console to play the game, adding a completely new dimension to the gameplay of a game that was previously only on a single screen.
The game developers were amazed by this introduction.
What is a gyroscope?
They've never encountered this before.
Simply put, a gyroscope is a device that can detect direction.
So far, this thing has been more commonly used in some special fields such as industry, military, and aviation. In the entertainment industry, no one has tried it yet.
But Wario Ware becomes the first entertainment product to eat this crab, and the moment this introduction appeared, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to this brand new gameplay mode.
"So this is GameStar Entertainment's creativity? It's amazing. It turns out electronic games can still be made like this. I was previously locked into the game development framework set by GameStar Entertainment and never thought about developing completely new gameplay."
People were curious about this new gameplay mode, suddenly feeling an urge to buy GBA immediately.
Because only by having GBA can you play this completely new form of entertainment.
No, you have to resist it. We still have old game consoles to play with, and you can still play many free games on old game consoles. There's no need to buy a new game console just for this game.
Those who saw the introduction suppressed the impulse in their hearts, and then patiently continued to read on.
The third game to be launched is Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow.
Castlevania and Metroid are now the pioneers of the Metroidvania type games, and the two works have created an era together, and the two works are also the most popular in this category.
And these two works are also very compatible with the United States, whether it's the vampire theme or the galactic science fiction theme, they are very much in line with American tastes.
And this time, the first launch is directly the joint release of the two pioneers. Among the player community, the hardcore fans of Metroidvania couldn't hold back.
"No, I must buy this new game console. Even if I have to spend money on another game console, so what? As long as it makes me happy, as long as I can play the latest Metroid and Castlevania."
The first three games to launch have already started to impress many people.
Some are interested because of the novelty of Wario Ware, while others are ready to spend impulsively because of the two pioneers of Galactic City.
And this is not the end. The lineup of this first launch, from GameStar Entertainment's in-house development team to core third-party manufacturers, will launch more than thirty games within a month, which is like giving players a treat like New Year's Day.
Regardless of the genre, they are all included, not afraid that you won't buy them.
