Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

With the advancement of time, the day of Children's Day will soon come.

In Modu's room, Zhang Yi and Wang Han were sitting in front of the computer.

Constantly refresh the official website of Nebula Games.

"I don't know how many goods are in the first batch." Zhang Yi said while browsing the official website of Nebula Games.

"Who knows this, but no matter how much, let's talk about it first." Wang Han responded.

Nebula Games has not announced how much the switch has in stock.

But for them, they have been looking forward to it for a long time, and it is natural to prepare for the snap-up at the first time.

In particular, the two games "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "Animal Forest" are exclusive games that can only be played on the switch.

If you haven't experienced it, it's actually fine.

But the key is that at the previous gameplay exhibition, both of them had already felt the fun of these two games.

It seems that these two games are not as stunning and shocking as "Red Dead Redemption".

But it's really fun to play with.

It would be too frustrating if this first move was not grabbed.

And to be honest, the price of the switch is not only not expensive, it can even be said to be cheap.

It is this configuration that makes people feel a little desperate.

At the gameplay exhibition, Zhang Yi did not expect that the configuration of this switch was so low.

After all, both "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "Animal Forest" performed fairly well.

"Come on, there's one more minute to prepare!"

"It's been madly refreshed, but now the means of preventing scalpers are getting stronger and stronger. It's not like grabbing a mobile phone and equipment before, you can't grab it."

Zhang Yi and Wang Han watched the time, constantly refreshed the web interface, and chatted at the same time.

When the time was up, the two of them immediately opened the payment interface, ready to make payment.

"No way! Why is it sold out? It shouldn't be! The Nebula Game official website is the latest testing tool!" As a frequent online shopping person, Wang Han was stunned when he looked at the interface in front of him.

In a second, this is already sold out? what the hell!

"Hey! I got it!" Zhang Yi next to him smiled.

His hand speed, kidding?

"Did you grab it? I'll ask Lao Song if they grabbed it." Wang Han couldn't help but feel depressed. Although the two of them were together, the key is that the game can only be played by one person!

Although "Super Mario: Odyssey" has a two-player mode that can be experienced together, but "Animal Forest" can't be done. She also knew about the two-player mode of the game before, and the other person is completely a follower.

Soon Song Ren, Qiao Yi and Wang Yifan were all connected to the chat group.

After chatting like this, apart from Lao Song who directly chose to buy one through offline channels, Qiao Yi and Wang Yifan did not grab it either.

"What's the situation? Is this too little stocked?"

"Yeah, it's out of stock in a second."

Several people are very depressed.

…………

There are many players who have encountered such an experience.

The previous promotion of switch, although not big, is not small.

At least some players who like games, especially those who like Nebula games, have already paid attention to this handheld console early on.

but now?

This special meow is out of stock at all!

In the major forums, countless players began to fall into the irritable stage.

"What the hell? Is this Nebula's thirst marketing, or is it a scalper? I just refreshed the page and it's out of stock!"

"Out of stock +1! I have already clicked on the payment interface, but the payment speed is not as fast as others, I cried!"

"How much stock is this Nebula game! Not to mention the console, this controller and game card are all sold out."

"Let me see...Fuck, it's true! As for what, the converters are sold out!"

"Is there a big brother in a big city? Is there any stock in the offline video game mall?"

"There was a hammer, I threw up the queue for a day, and I happened to be gone. According to the people from the video game city, the next supply will not be until next week, and each person can only order one."

Facing the riots of the players, Chen Xu also responded at this time, and reprinted the news of the official blog by the way.

‘To answer the questions that everyone is concerned about, first of all, it is not the hunger for marketing, but the goods are indeed sold out. ’

'Switch's initial stocking volume is 500,000 consoles, 200,000 pairs of joy-con, and 50,000 converters. ’

'The physical cartridges of "Animal Forest" and "Super Mario: Odyssey" are 300,000 copies each. ’

'But they are all sold out now, but please rest assured that a new batch of hosts, peripherals and cassettes have been urgently produced, and will be launched on major e-commerce platforms next week. ’

Looking at Chen Xu's official blog news, countless players were dumbfounded.

Is this really out of stock?

So fast!

In the lounge of Nebula Games, a group of people are playing various games on the switch.

"Super Mario: Odyssey", "Kick-off Kitchen" and "Going For Two".

"Mr. Chen, how much is the next batch of Switch supply? The players on the Internet feel like they are going to riot!" Meng Zuo, who was leaning on the sofa, was also surprised.

Like many game designers in the industry, he never imagined that the switch could be so successful.

The 500,000 shipments on the first day were sold out directly.

It's terrifying!

"Actually, it was beyond my expectations. For the next batch...well, it's only 150,000, but Yan Xiong has already contacted the OEM manufacturer. It will definitely be out of stock in June, but it will be out of stock in July. The month will be much better." Chen Xu also said with a smile.

Although players scolded all kinds of things at night, it also proved that the switch did sell well.

In fact, according to Chen Xu's idea at first, he felt that 500,000 units could still be sold for two or three days.

After all, the switch in the previous life was so popular, mainly relying on the management of Lao Ren for many years, and the **** work has a historical background.

In addition, considering that in the parallel world, although the switch has unique attributes, it has no feelings for IP, and handheld consoles are not mainstream.

Chen Xu felt that 500,000 should be almost the same, but now it seems to be a little undervalued.

The good reputation of Nebula Games for so many years, coupled with the temptation of new games at the gameplay exhibition, has directly led to the current situation.

"And it's not just domestic, overseas players are also quite restless." Meng Zuo smiled and took out his mobile phone to show it.

Major game media sites also reported it.

That is the new switch console for Nebula Games. Many overseas players have also posted various petitions on the official blog to express that they will launch their corresponding markets soon.

Even many local tyrants expressed their willingness to buy a switch at a premium of five or six times.

As for the purpose, it is naturally to experience the Nebula Games on this new console.

Moreover, the unique queuing attribute of switch has also attracted many overseas players.

"There are also plans for overseas, but the initial supply must be mainly domestic." Chen Xu shook his head and said with a smile.

Overseas, Chen Xu is naturally not unprepared.

It's just that overseas machines are different from domestic ones.

Various scrutiny is required, including overseas versions of the game on the switch.

At the same time, there is a more important reason, that is, it is different from games on digital platforms.

If Switch is sold overseas, we also need to talk about e-commerce and offline channels.

It will take at least two months to fully expand overseas.

After all, a large amount of goods in the early stage must be provided to domestic players.

So during this period, let overseas players smell the big cake.

Waiting patiently for two months, you can eat the fragrant and hot cakes.
