Overnight, this magical handheld seems to have suddenly swept the domestic game and technology media, and all kinds of information began to bombard wildly.
At the beginning, there were only one or two technology media on the video website that had news about this handheld, and it was generally in a bearish trend, but later on, a large number of digital enthusiasts and game enthusiasts were doing switch unboxing. It even spread to other channels.
In fact, in the long run, it is the evaluation of core fans that determines the fate of a device.
As far as Chen Mo is concerned, he has a very broad player base in China, and even has a very large number of diehard fans. Just like Blizzard in the previous life, no matter what game comes out, the first reaction of diehard fans is to buy, buy, buy.
Even if Blizzard really didn't have the brains to make a handheld, as long as it looks good in quality, many people will still buy it without thinking. This is word of mouth.
However, these emotional fans alone cannot support the sales of a classic product after all. Those fringe fans and passers-by still have to wait for the evaluation of the core fans before they can really make up their minds whether to start with this product.
After watching large-scale evaluation live broadcasts and videos, most people have a relatively comprehensive understanding of this handheld.
In fact, Chen Mo's goal in the first stage is mainly aimed at two groups of people. The first is his core fans. As long as the quality of this handheld is excellent, they will definitely buy it; For example, some people especially like somatosensory games, and some people like this kind of casual two-player cooperative games. For them, Switch and "Super Mario Odyssey" are currently the best games in this regard. They Will definitely buy.
Chen Mo didn't intend to make this machine popular all over the world from the very beginning, and compete with the other three major platforms, which is simply unrealistic.
Chen Mo's purpose is to use this handheld to fill the gap in the current game market, and at the same time get as much happiness as possible for himself.
In other words, this is a console that can be bought by both hardcore gamers and the general public. As long as it attracts you in any way, then the two thousand dollars you spend is definitely not wrong.
Can it reach the sales volume of the previous life? This is definitely impossible, because the market environment is different, and the background accumulation is also different. The situation of being able to sell to the present is actually very good.
If more high-quality games and derivative gameplays are launched in the future, it is clear that the sales of Switch will continue, but it is certainly impossible to reach the level of the previous Nintendo.
But even the current sales volume is enough to make domestic players and game media dumbfounded.
The number of reservations for the second batch of handhelds has also exceeded 100,000. After Chen Mo announced that this handheld will be connected to the Thunder game platform, everyone still trusts the future game library of this handheld.
This is also one of the advantages of Chen Mo choosing to be his own channel. Everyone knows that Chen Mo has a lot of good games in his hands. Getting tired of the situation.
Until now, after the sales figures came out, many game media began to seriously analyze the reasons for the success of this handheld.
Tianji.com game channel also published a very long game review.
"Switch is a very unique product. It represents a brand new gaming experience, a bit like the perfect fusion of mobile phones and PCs. Moreover, the game operation mode of the two handles even surpasses the above in terms of experience. Two platforms allow you to play PC-level games anywhere."
"This novel feeling made the author realize that this technology has always been there, but no one has discovered it."
…
In fact, the switch is equivalent to drilling a gap between the mobile phone and the PC. In terms of size, its size is not small, but it is still within the acceptable range of portable devices, and it does not need to be as thin and light as a mobile phone, as long as it can be taken out.
After dismantling this device, many game media found that its performance is about seven times that of ordinary high-end mobile phones. Of course, this is a relatively sensational statistic. Running large-scale games at a stable frame rate has surpassed many mobile phones currently on the market.
(This data is compiled, and you can Baidu the exact number in reality.)
In the final analysis, it is because the switch is a dedicated game console.
That is to say, as a compromise between mobile phones and PCs, the switch takes into account both performance and portability, and greatly lowers the price. Found a way, and this is exactly what everyone ignored before.
After the release of "Super Mario Odyssey", many game media have also launched evaluations on this game.
"When it comes to the open world, it seems that the concept of the open world and the sandbox have long been rotten, but there are very few games that can really do a good job in the open world. The formulaic world has long been unable to meet the needs of today's players. Start to feel fresh about the open world."
"But after seeing "Super Mario Odyssey", the author's interest in the open world seems to be rekindled, yes, today I have to brag about this game."
"According to the designer Chen Mo, this game is not a level game, but a small garden world, where you can take adventures in many worlds with different styles. The plot of the game itself is actually very simple. The story of rescuing Princess Bichi."
"Of course, the real content of the game is not the plot, but the collection and puzzle solving. Here, I really want to say something for Chen Mo. This is the most fun game about collection and decryption I have ever played. none of them!"
"The adventures hidden in the corner are full of strange things and an astonishing number, including running notes, unlocking organs, jumping, running, grabbing gold coins, skipping rope, remote control racing cars, puzzles and other complex and novel ways of playing, testing the player's skills and imagination from all angles , a lot of content can even be more interesting than the main line.”
"And in the process of solving puzzles in some game worlds, the protagonist will seamlessly switch from 3D to 2D levels through water pipes. This is also very shocking. I really don't know how the designer came up with this idea."
"In this game, you have a lot of hidden content. Of course, everyone should not be intimidated when you see the hidden words. In fact, the process of finding these hidden content is very smooth. Under the subtle guidance and guidance of the game producer With the support of certain rules, some seemingly unreasonable details become less ordinary.”
"We can gain a sense of accomplishment from discovering strangeness to thinking, and then solving the mystery, and be proud of our excellent IQ. Of course, all of this is thanks to the game producer, thanks to Chen Mo's superb level design skills .”
