On the 26th of August, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wilderness was officially released.
At midnight on the same day, Le Hui's official website, as well as other major e-commerce websites, released the Switch
Pro and Matrix Glasses Ultimate Edition.
For the gamers, buying "The Legend of Zelda" wasn't the first thing they had to worry about.
The first thing to worry about was … buying the Switch
Pro and Matrix Glasses!
The Legend of Zelda wouldn't be sold out even if they didn't buy it within ten minutes, since they could buy the digital version.
What if they didn't buy it within ten minutes after the Switch was released?
Thinking about Le Hui's personality and the scene of the first-generation Switch selling out in an instant when it was released …
Even though Zhou Jiangping was confident that he would buy the Switch
Pro had a new policy, but most players didn't have high hopes for it.
The new policy was just to prevent people from buying the Switch and becoming scalpers.
The two new devices were pre-ordered, requiring a deposit of five hundred RMB. They also had to bind their Thunderbolt Game Pass to them and ensure that they were an active player in order to pass the system's review.
There was an algorithm to determine who was an active player. It took into account the amount of money spent on the account, time spent on the game, and other factors. Adding on the fact that the Thunderbolt Game Pass was bound to one's ID and phone, this method could filter out most scalpers without affecting normal players.
What if the players were scalpers? There was nothing they could do. No matter how powerful Chen Mo and Zhou Jiangping were, they wouldn't be able to interfere with second-hand transactions between players. However, as long as they could ensure that the new devices were shipped and that the players could buy them on the official website, they would stop when they realised that they weren't making any money.
After pre-ordering, the machines would be sold at midnight on the 26th. It was a competition of hand speed and internet speed. Those who bought the machines would be paid for, those who didn't could choose to refund the deposit.
If they didn't want to buy it, they could refund the deposit, but they couldn't buy it when it was released.
Of course, this method of buying would change. They would only use this method to prevent the machines from falling into the hands of scalpers in the early stages. Once the supply stabilised, they would sell it. There was no need to make it so complicated.
However, this policy only gave the players a little psychological comfort. Most players were still pessimistic about it.
The reason was simple, it was because of The Legend of Zelda!
Many people didn't have high hopes for the Switch
The Matrix Glasses Pro and the Matrix Glasses Flagship Edition were not irreplaceable. They were just more expensive tools to show off.
However, the situation changed with the release of The Legend of Zelda.
If you wanted to play The Legend of Zelda on a handheld, you had to buy the Switch.

If you wanted to of a cheap VR version of The Legend of Zelda without the VR pod, you had to buy the Switch.
Pro and Matrix Glasses flagship edition set.
What is this?
This was just what he needed!
Buying a house was a necessity, but playing games wasn't a necessity?
For many players, not being able to play a new game after it was released was worse than being killed. When a new game was released, the entire internet would be discussing it. Major streamers would also crazily release video guides. Major forums would uniformly prohibit spoilers. A good game would become the current hot topic …
Then, you tell me to bear with it and wait for half a year before buying the game. I can buy it as I please, and I can even get a discount?
You of of the game of of of of of. of Of Of Game as of Was as you of of of is of. as of of of Hard of of of of of of as of of Games.
To put it bluntly, you couldn't even eat sh * t in the same time …
Therefore, for many players, a masterpiece with a perfect score was hard to come by. At best, there would only be one a year. Even if you thought it was expensive, you still had to wait. How could you call yourself a hardcore gamer?
Moreover, the current Switch …
How could the Switch Pro compare to the original Switch?
How many people were optimistic about the Switch when it was released?
Many people felt that it was better to buy a game phone than to buy this thing. There were also many people who were worried about hardware issues, the first game, and so on. Super Mario Odyssey had excellent reviews overseas, but it was not as good as The Legend of Zelda in China.
Just like that, the first-generation Switch ran out of stock in less than five minutes. It took more than three months before they finally managed to make up for the shortage.
Now that the Switch was a very mature product, with a large number of Thunderbolt Entertainment games, a mature manufacturing process and design, and the Legend of Zelda, it could be said that most players who could afford it didn't have to worry about it anymore.
As for the price …
Was four thousand RMB expensive? It was expensive compared to the two thousand RMB of the original Switch. However, four thousand RMB was at most the price of a high-end phone or tablet. It wasn't something that many people couldn't afford.
Therefore, for the Switch Pro …
It wasn't that many people didn't want to be optimistic about the Switch Pro, it was that they couldn't …
…
In a certain university dormitory group.
“switch
Pro is about to start. Get ready and click on this link! "
"I've been waiting for a long time, do I need you to remind me?"
"Will we be able to get it?"
"Who knows. Speaking of which, I was reminded of the four of us crowdfunding to buy the Switch in our senior year. The worst part was that even though our third brother said that he had no problem getting the tickets, he still couldn't get it!"
"I already said it wasn't my fault, it was the school's internet lag! If you want to blame someone, blame the great university! "
"Alright, alright, now that we're all working, we have money, and the internet speed is better, let's do our own thing!"
"It's starting, it's starting, hurry up!"
These guys were the students who attended Chen Mo's lectures in his previous life, and were also the first batch of players to buy the Switch. Although the Switch wasn't expensive at that time, they were students after all, and could only crowdfund it.
Honestly speaking, this Switch really brought a lot of joy to their senior year.
After work, the four of them kept in contact in a small chat group.
The four of them were planning to buy one when they heard that the Switch Pro was going to be sold.
The official website refreshed after midnight, and the four of them all clicked on "Buy"!
"Hmm? Holy shit, I got it! I got it! "
"Aiya, I got it too! I'm invincible! "
"Oh no, my internet lag! Hmm? Also! That's great, I got it too! "
"Ahem, me too …"
"What the hell, all four of us got it? That doesn't make sense, right? "
The four of them were originally sharing their joy in the group, but then they realized that all four of them got it?
This made him feel very disappointed …
How great would it be if only they got it, and no one else got it …
The four of them were a little sad, probably reminiscing about their university days that they couldn't go back to …
"Sigh, we all got it, why do I feel a little sad?"
"Yeah, sad. I think it's best if you can't buy it. "
"Don't think about it, as long as you got it. Are you guys masochistic? Hurry up and buy the game. "
"Eh? Wait, why don't you guys refresh the page again? "
“？？？ Sold out! "
"Hahaha, lasted seven minutes, that's a huge improvement!"
"I'm dying of laughter, I thought we finally had enough stock!"
