Chapter 984 - Ordering too much is also a problem

Immediately afterwards, Shigeru Miyamoto introduced more improvements to Pokemon Gold and Silver, the biggest of which is the improvement of the Pokemon image.

In "Pokemon Red & Green", the image of Pokemon is basically made up of some pixels, no way, this is the performance limit of GB.

However, in "Pokemon Gold and Silver", the image of Pokemon has finally evolved into color, and it is no longer pixels, but has become the same as the colorful Pokemon in the anime.

Of course, it's not comparable to the colorful appearance in the anime, but it's a huge improvement!

Many Nintendo players immediately expressed their love after seeing the colorful Pokemon, and they must have bought it.

In addition, there are also improvements to the combat system, in addition to continuing the classic combat system of the first generation, this time there is also an additional prop function, players have the opportunity to use props in the battle, using different props, you can improve the Pokemon different abilities, etc., so that the battle becomes more diverse, with more different routines.

The most criticized thing about Pokemon by players before is that the combat system is very monotonous, and when you first play the game, you can form different tactics with the replacement of Pokemon.

But in the later stages, especially in the hands of those Liver Emperors, the game became quite monotonous.

Because according to the player's actual combat test, there are only a few Pokemon, and when fighting, you only need to form a team of the strongest Pokemon, and then train and fight according to the strongest skill ratio.

To put it simply, the competition of "Pokemon Red and Green" is basically a competition for the cultivation of several top Pokemon, as long as the cultivation degree is high, and then with a fixed skill routine, it can have a great winning rate.

This has become especially obvious in the Pokemon Global Championship, because the cultivation of Pokemon has a peak, and those masters who have reached the final finals are basically masters who have cultivated Pokemon to the top, and their Pokemon values are the same, and the skill routines are the same.

So in the end, it becomes a competition for miss and critical hit probability, which is very embarrassing.

And Pokemon is not like the online games of the future, once you notice that something is wrong, you can immediately patch it.

It's a difficult thing to patch a game these days, and you can't always recall all the game cards and patch them!

So on "Pokemon Gold and Silver", in order to ensure the balance of the combat system, Boss Jia painstakingly added the prop system, which was not a system in the previous life, making the battle more diverse.

After that, Shigeru Miyamoto introduced more improvements, and announced that the second half of "Pokemon Unprint" will be broadcast simultaneously on major TV stations in 12 countries around the world three days later, which once again made the audience cheer, and this is the final climax of the whole conference.

————————————

"President, good news, in an hour, we have an order for 1.5 million units!" Backstage at the press conference, Satoshi Iwata excitedly reported to Pu Yamauchi.

Of course, the order of 1.5 million units is not contributed by players, but by various dealers around the world under Nintendo. Based on their evaluation of the N64, these dealers will forecast future sales and then give their first phase of order data.

In the past, when CFC was released, the order volume for one hour of the press conference was basically around 500,000 units, but this time, it jumped directly to 1.5 million units, which shows that dealers are very optimistic about the N64.

Because the price of the N64 announced at the scene was $199 a unit, which also means that in just one hour, Nintendo has a full $300 million in sales.

"1.5 million!" When Yamauchi Pu heard this number, he also raised his eyebrows, but soon the flesh on his face twitched, and then asked, "Iwata-kun, how many units do we have in stock now?" ”

"This ......" Hearing Yamauchi's question, Iwata Satoshi's expression instantly stiffened, and then licked his lips and said, "At present, 500,000 units have been rolled off the production line and packaged, and 500,000 units are planned to be delivered within a month......

"That's a maximum of 1 million units shipped in a month!" Yamauchi rubbed his wrinkled head, "It's only been an hour, and there are 1.5 million orders." Based on past experience, we may have more than 5 million N64 orders in the next month, how long will it take us to complete the production of these 5 million units? ”

"I'm afraid it will take more than 6 months at the earliest," Satoshi Iwata's voice sounded a little stiff.

"What! Do you want 6 months, and the people in your production department are all eating? Yamauchi Pu was suddenly angry, pointed at Iwata's nose and scolded, "We used to be able to produce 5 million FC game consoles a month, why is the speed dropping by 6 times now?" ”

"President, you can't blame me, it's really N64 is too complicated, it's completely different from FC, our production line needs to be fully updated, and the production capacity can't reach the speed of FC at all!"

"And there are still big problems with suppliers, our partner Philips this time said that many of these components are specially customized, and they can only produce up to 500,000 sets of parts a month!"

"On top of that, we have to place orders with dozens of other companies, and if their production speed can't keep up with us, then our production line will have to stop!" Iwata Satoshi said helplessly.

"You mean, you don't have a solution!" Yamauchi's fist gurgled angrily, but there was nothing he could do. He, Satoshi Iwata, is not an immortal, and he can conjure up the host out of thin air.

And this is also the thing that makes Yamauchi Pu angry the most, the first release of the N64 was obviously an amazing success, and it received 1.5 million orders in an hour, far exceeding PS, seeing that Yamauchi Pu was about to raise his eyebrows and beat Nintendo.

But who would have thought that Nintendo itself was stuck in production capacity, which is simply the most disgusting thing in the world. And if there is a lack of production capacity and cannot be shipped, resulting in the death of players, many players will be lost to the PS side.

Now PS, but there are stocks anytime and anywhere.

In the previous life, the Nintendo N64 was basically facing the constraints of insufficient production capacity, and within a year after the release, it took at least three months to make a reservation to get the goods, so there are not a few players who switch to PS.

"I don't care, I'll only give you 3 months, and you have to give me 5 million N64 units in three months!" Yamauchi Pu said angrily.

At this time, the secretary cautiously walked in and said, "President, President Jia of Daqian Games is here, you are ......"

"I'm gone!" Yamauchi Pu snorted coldly, and directly threw aside his N64 hero, but think about it, can you really ignore others, so he said to Iwata Satoshi, "You go and meet this triumphant little guy!" ”

"Yes!" Satoshi Iwata replied with a wry smile.
