Recently, the news of the next generation of Switch has begun to swipe the screen, which also indicates that this somewhat legendary game console has officially entered the end of its career.
It is also at this juncture of the alternation of old and new machines, Nintendo is fully preparing for the next generation, so it has not announced the preview and sales plan of the game in the second half of this year.
This ultra-long gap has caused many Switch players to fall into a rather long grass period.
But who would have thought that two days ago, there was another NS exclusive game, and it became a small fire-
"Crayon Xiaoxin: Xiaobai in Coal Town"
。
As an IP derivative game of Crayon Xiaoxin, the previous work "Crayon Xiaoxin: My Summer Vacation with the Doctor" was also released on the switch, but at that time, because of the single gameplay and empty content, many people complained about the gameplay, and it was difficult to talk about how out of the circle.
But this time "Coal Town Xiaobai" is really a bit of a fire.
Many core players may be a little puzzled when they hear this, they will be visiting the game community every day tomorrow, but they have never heard of this game?
Don't be surprised, because the main community of this game is on Xiaohongshu.
Recently, Xiaofa's Little Red Book is full of this game.
Flip through a post related to "Coal Town Xiaobai", and there are at least dozens of comments at the bottom.
This popularity even made it a financial product in the short term, and the price of the physical disk, which was originally about 360, once soared to four or five hundred, and it was not available.
It is very likely that you will spend 400 to buy a game, and you can earn dozens of dollars after selling it after clearing the level.
This kind of grand occasion is even better than the "King of the Holy Beasts" some time ago.
Even several colleagues around me who don't usually play games come to ask Xiaofa every day if they have ever played it, and it is worth it to experience the digital version (because the physical version is not very easy to buy).
In that case, then Xiaofa will do what he says, and then be a Nohara Shinnosuke.
Research this new game and why it sells out.
It needs to be explained in advance that this "Coal Town Xiaobai" was released in February this year, and it can't be considered a new game in the strict sense.
But the reason why China was only noticed in May was because the Chinese language had just been updated.
Moreover, not only is the in-game text Chinese, but the most important thing is that, like the previous work, the original Chinese voice actor lineup of the animation was invited, and all Chinese dubbing was added, as well as everyone's favorite Taiwan dubbing back then.
How important this update is, everyone will know by watching a video.
As far as the taste of this dubbing is concerned, you can say that it is not right.
Stupid and cute little new pronunciation, plus NPC standard Hong Kong and Taiwan dubbing cavity.
belongs to the level that can pull people back to their childhood in one second, which can be regarded as a lore.
Now I understand
Restoring the animation dubbing is one thing, and on the other hand, the graphics of this game are also quite a plus.
Compared with the previous work, Xiaofa personally feels that the quality of hand-painted various scenes is higher and more varied.
The process of playing this game is basically all kinds of screenshots.
The small villages and towns in the countryside and the leisurely natural environment seem to be covered with a fairy tale filter.
It's very realistic, and it's also very pleasing, just ask who can see it without being confused.
Coupled with just the right BGM, it's also a plus.
I have to say that wandering around a map like this is quite healing.
Especially after a day of work, when I came home and curled up on the sofa to play for a while, I was directly relaxed.
And this cute and cute painting style, as well as the very light game positioning itself, supplemented by the super IP of "Crayon Xiaoxin", must be the reason why "Coal Town Xiaobai" can become popular in Xiaohongshu, rather than being discussed a lot in game communities such as Station B, Little Black Box, and Tieba.
And I have to say that Xiaoxin's twisting ass running is too magical.
As long as you hold down the ZR key, you can switch to the ass running form, which makes people suspect that these two butts are Shinnosuke's body.
While running, he always muttered various mantras in his mouth, which was quite joyful.
But when it comes to gameplay, "Coal Town Xiaobai" is actually not much different from its predecessor.
To put it bluntly, even the content of this game can be considered barren.
Although it is an improvement over its predecessor, it is still a little boring.
It only takes about 10 hours to clear the whole game, and it only takes 15 hours to collect the whole game, which is also mixed with a lot of time to collect the map.
If you just look at the plot, it may be as long as a theatrical version.
The main gameplay is a combination of the daily collection of "My Summer Vacation" and "Moving".
Fishing, catching insects, or growing vegetables every day, and then help villagers complete some side quests to cook.
Because some of the judgment on catching and fishing is loose and friendly, it is still fun to get started.
But the depth of the system is too thin, repeating dozens or hundreds of times, and it will become boring.
The way to unlock the map is also very simple and straightforward, that is, let a person stand at the intersection and block it, and a specific task must be completed to unlock it.
If it's just one or two, it's okay, but it's all the same operation, which makes people feel a bit cutting corners.
The only change worth talking about is the addition of a new map, Coal Town.
The plot progresses to this point, and it can be regarded as entering the main line of the game.
Gameplay and collectibles have been added, and a lot of side quests have been added.
It can be said to be the main line, but it is just the same boring collection.
Keep running the map to refresh, then pick up, and repeat.
In the middle of playing, looking at this pile of materials makes people's heads big.
One of the most fun is the minecart racing mini-game, which is where Coal Town is really a bit hardcore.
Players can race to challenge all achievements, modify minecarts, and the levels are quite challenging, requiring familiarity with each runway.
Even in the main plot, it plays a pivotal role.
It can be seen that it is the part of the play that the production team really spent time on.
However, this still can't change the fact that the content of "Coal Town Xiaobai" is empty.
This is not a problem for an all-age game that is positioned as a casual game.
But combined with the pricing of hundreds of dollars, it is really a bit humorous.
Therefore, this game may only be recommended for Crayon Shin-chan's true love fans.
After all, there are a lot of small easter eggs, and there are many easy and witty daily accounts.
For example, watching Hiroshi Nohara take Aoi and Shin-chan to take a bath and play with an undersea volcano and fart together.
Or when my mom is watching TV, I have a butt twisting dance next to me.
And without spoilers, you can tell everyone that there will be more familiar characters in the later stage.
These sentimental designs should also be worth the fan fare.
In short, the game "Coal Town Xiaobai", the art style and music are all top-notch.
The cute and silly dubbing and lines are also very interesting.
If you like this style, just running the map, you must be satisfied.
However, the gameplay is too lightweight, and the game system is not worth digging into, which makes its gameplay experience too simple, and the process is really a bit short.
So, unless you're a big fan of Crayon Shin-chan.
Otherwise, Xiaofa would definitely not dare to easily recommend a game with 400 RMB, but the main line is only about 10 hours.
If you want to try it because you see a lot of people playing, it's even less worth it.
It's best to wait for the price to come down, and then consider buying one after this period of popularity.
Shinnosuke Nohara is such an attractive man
