Zero-type Racing, Street Fighter Handheld Edition...
Multiple high-quality GBA games meticulously crafted by third-party manufacturers, each frame looks so exquisite.
As one after another introduction of first-release games appears, players can no longer contain their excitement.
"Stop talking, I'm buying it. What's wrong with buying it? I've decided to buy this new game console!"
Previously, many players planned to play games for free in the future, but now they have changed their minds.
Because the first-release lineup of GBA is too tempting to resist.
Meanwhile, the mood of American game developers appears to be quite heavy at this moment.
With over thirty first-release games, and each one described in the introductions looking extremely enticing.
Not to mention ordinary players, even they themselves want to buy it and immerse themselves in endless gaming sessions.
At this moment, many developers finally realize.
Previously, GameStar Entertainment seemed calm, just crazily releasing various quick and short games. They thought this company was planning to make a quick buck in the end, but now it seems not.
GameStar Entertainment was actually waiting here.
They had already started mobilizing manpower to develop new game consoles and first-release games.
Several other core third-party manufacturers also obtained early authorization to develop games, paving the way for the new game console.
GameStar Entertainment really played their cards right, waiting for the new regulations to be fully implemented. Even if the United States wants to make changes, it won't be possible in the short term.
Words spoken are like water poured out, impossible to take back.
Yet until now, people haven't seen the true face of the game console.
"Hurry up and click to the last page. I don't want to see these game introductions anymore," said a once confident American game console company boss, now somewhat desperate.
He was a nouveau riche, just made some money, saw the trend of electronic games was good, and just when GameStar Entertainment seemed to be about to collapse, leaving a huge market gap, he invested all his money into game console development.
But as soon as he invested the money, GameStar Entertainment dealt them a heavy blow, which really hurt.
Yet they were helpless.
Employees obediently clicked their mice, skipping the introductions of the remaining first-release games, directly entering the last page.
And the true face of the GBA appeared before everyone.
In the past, the GBC and GB game consoles were square-shaped, with game controls concentrated below the screen.
This layout made most people already assume it was the standard for handheld gaming consoles.
But when the true face of the GBA appeared, they were astonished once again.
The GBA's form changed from the original square shape to an oblong one, with a more rounded appearance. The controls were distributed on both sides of the screen, with shoulder buttons added on the top of the game console, making the GBA look completely different from its previous form.
This new image was also extremely eye-catching.
And the GBA came in vibrant colors.
Previously, the GBC and GB were gray-white in color, with only a few limited edition consoles having special color differentiations.
But this time, the GBA had colorful shells, including translucent ones, giving the console a hint of futuristic sci-fi feeling. People could intuitively see the internal structure of the console from its appearance, giving players a sense of curiosity.
In addition to these colorful shells, GameStar Entertainment even launched a shell customization service. As long as you pay, GameStar Entertainment can even customize exclusive GBA shells for players. Of course, the price for this customization is definitely not cheap.
New appearance, new games, all of these have been seen.
And then the focus naturally shifted to the price.
When the page was scrolled to the bottom, the price and release date of the GBA were completely announced.
On August 1st, half a month later, the GBA will officially launch in Japan, while the United States will have to wait another half month because the GBA still needs to be shipped by sea, and it will take time to dock, so the United States can only wait a little longer.
As for the price, it's 9,800 yen in Japan, and $129 in the United States.
This price can be said to be adding quantity without raising the price.
And GB and GBC will announce simultaneous price reductions to the public. The production of the two consoles will gradually decrease, but they will not be completely discontinued in the short term.
This price is really cheap, indeed affordable for most families.
Moreover, the first-release games of GBA will promise not to exceed 5,000 yen or $49.9.
"Don't panic, we still have a chance. GameStar Entertainment's games are still expensive. We can seize the opportunity with cheaper games. It's no longer a market dominated solely by GameStar Entertainment. There are now more companies entering the gaming market. Its dominance will definitely not be as strong as it used to be."
"Yeah, our game quality is not weak either. GameStar Entertainment's games just look interesting, but how they actually are can only be known by playing them. Expensive game prices will definitely discourage many people."
These American game developers grit their teeth and prepare to persist.
They have already invested a lot of funds into game development, and they do not believe that GameStar Entertainment can dominate the gaming market again.
During the period when the new regulations in the United States were about to be implemented, except for the core third parties, other game companies gave up cooperation with GameStar Entertainment and instead released more games on other platforms.
GameStar Entertainment also suffered losses from many other third-party manufacturers during this process.
People die for wealth as birds for food. GameStar Entertainment did not reveal any of its plans to these people, just to prevent leaks and unexpected situations on the American side.
So the losses of these third-party manufacturers are inevitable.
To convince them to return, their GBA must have sufficient sales.
At least it should reach the sales of GBC.
But GameStar Entertainment is completely calm. With this first-release lineup, they are not worried at all that players won't choose them.
Moreover, besides these first-release games, there will be many planned games ready to be released on GBA, enough to keep players busy.
The only concern now may be that players may not buy it just because of the price.
At this moment, those American developers who have finished reading the GBA introduction suddenly remembered something: "Right, GameStar Entertainment's official website also said that there will be a live stream network briefing in a few days. Do you know what a network briefing is?"
The term "network briefing" is still relatively unfamiliar in the United States, but they seem to understand that it should be something similar to a press conference.
"A network briefing... should be a collective promotion and advertisement for new games, right? The over thirty first-release games on GBA only have introductions for now, so there must be more people who want to know more details about these games. It seems normal to hold an exclusive press conference."
"Is that so? But I remember it seemed like they said there would be even more groundbreaking news in the briefing..."
"What more groundbreaking news could there be? This GBA is already groundbreaking enough."
While these people were talking, they all thought of one thing at the same time.
A new home gaming console...
No... it couldn't be, could it?
