As Lucas finished speaking, he didn't keep us in suspense.
Soon, a series of images appeared on the big screen.
In a small kitchen, two people worked together smoothly to chop, cook, and serve food.
A group of tiny people, like candy beans, pushed and shoved each other to compete for a crown at the top.
Cody and May transformed into puppets and clay figures.
An undead person knelt on one knee in front of a campfire.
Hunters in Astera grabbed onto a wyvern's feet and headed towards the new continent.
Besides these, there were also works from many third-party game companies.
The audience below the stage was very surprised.
Of course, it would probably take a lot of time for "Dark Souls" and "Monster Hunter: World" to be released on the Switch, and the graphics might be reduced.
After all, the Switch that Lucas developed in this parallel world was more powerful than the one in his previous life.
But at the same time, the graphics of "Dark Souls" and "Monster Hunter: World" were also better than in his previous life.
Looking at the images on the big screen, many players were quietly talking and discussing, and many people had excited expressions.
"It Takes Two," "Overcooked," and "Fall Guys" had already been ported, and there were instructions below.
As for "Monster Hunter: World" and "Dark Souls," many veteran players smiled knowingly.
Here it comes!
The game hasn't arrived, but the video has come first.
But Lucas's next words surprised many players.
"On the Switch, we will gradually port some classic games, but there will also be new, exclusive games specifically made for the Switch."
People showed surprised expressions.
So the so-called new game was specifically developed for the Switch?
After seeing all kinds of animal plush toys at the convention, many players were somewhat prepared.
But hearing Lucas's words, everyone was still surprised, because this so-called new game would be exclusive to the Switch and would not be released on PC or VR platforms!
Lucas's purpose was obvious: he wanted to attract players to buy the Switch with the appeal of exclusive games.
"You're probably curious about the type of new game. First is 'Animal Crossing,' a game that every tough guy must play." With Lucas's words, the players at the scene stirred.
As game players, there were many male players at the convention.
Every tough guy must play! Hearing Lucas's words, all the players at the scene got excited.
But as the video played, the originally excited players were stunned.
Boss Lucas, are you telling us that this is really something that tough guys must play?
The game footage played on the big screen.
The sea was blue, the sky clear, and white clouds floated in the sky.
Small waves lapped against the golden sand.
Under a coconut tree, there were some folding chairs, and a resident was lying on a chair, leisurely sunbathing.
In the distance, cicadas chirped endlessly on the tall trees.
In front of a tent, a resident happily picked up wood from the ground and then crawled into the tent.
On a meadow full of flowers, some islanders were reading at a table, while others were having afternoon tea.
By the river, two islanders were fishing with buckets.
In the autumn, leaves rustled down, some islanders were sweeping leaves, and some were catching bugs with nets.
In winter, some people were warming themselves by the fire in front of their houses, while others were building snowmen.
In the spring, a group of people carefully tended to their gardens and fruit trees.
At night, everyone sat on benches and admired the moonlight.
Finally, in front of the house, everyone smiled and took a group photo.
Pictures of everyone living happily on the island kept flashing, full of harmony and love.
But that wasn't the main point.
The main point was, Boss Lucas, can you say again, what kind of game is this that everyone must play?
Is this a game that tough guys should play?!
Many players below the stage were dumbfounded.
But soon these players came back to their senses, and it was obviously a playful joke.
But besides the confused male players, some female players were very excited and pleasantly surprised.
Because the art style was amazing!
"Next, we'll have a platformer game with a rather special gameplay, 'Super Mario: Odyssey'! You'll play in more than ten different themed settings, including modern cities, deserts, forests, and oceans... and this game also supports two-player cooperative mode." As the trailer for "Animal Crossing" finished playing, a new video played on the big screen with Lucas's introduction.
Upbeat music sounded in the exhibition area, and a huge hat airship appeared on the screen.
"Above Peach's Castle..." appeared as subtitles.
Then a spiky turtle Koopa wearing a suit and a white top hat appeared on the screen.
And in front of him was Mario, the plumber, wearing a red hat.
The two were fighting fiercely on the deck of a castle that looked like a spaceship, but Mario was obviously no match for the great demon King Koopa.
"Haha! It ends here!"
The great demon King Koopa threw his white top hat, hitting Mario right on.
Princess Peach next to him reached out worriedly.
Looking at Mario's red hat falling at his feet, the great demon King Koopa stepped on it.
"This great king will hold a wedding with Princess Peach!"
"You're not happy, are you? Mario!"
"Hahahaha..."
Combined with the great demon King Koopa's slightly childish lines, it was obviously the template of a story about an evil dragon kidnapping a princess, and a brave warrior going to rescue her.
It's just that this warrior named Mario... to be honest, was quite different from the warrior in most players' minds.
In the great demon King Koopa's laughter, the screen went dark.
What followed was a series of quick edits, with strange worlds of different styles appearing in front of all the players.
The Metro Kingdom, with a modern city background.
The Wooded Kingdom, full of vitality.
The Seaside Kingdom, with beaches and ocean.
Besides these, there was also the Sand Kingdom, the Snow Kingdom...
"Of course, I believe everyone is eager to personally experience these two games and the special features of the Switch."
"We have prepared enough equipment on site for everyone to try out the games personally."
As the video finished playing, Lucas announced another piece of news that excited all the players.
"Damn! There's a demo session!"
"Did I hear right?! This... this isn't just empty promises!"
"It's back! It's all back! I can actually get a piece of this pie!"
"Amazing!"
"Stop talking, quickly line up!"
Many veteran players of Nebula Games were all amazed at this time.
This immediately brought back memories from the past for many players who had attended the first Nebula Games Convention.
At that time, "Legends of the Three Kingdoms" and "Fall Guys" had stolen the show at the convention.
But that was the only year.
There was no demo session at the second Nebula Games Convention.
What, you say there was a Sledgehammer game the second year?
That doesn't count as a game!
That's a low blood pressure treatment device!
Previously, some players hadn't shown too much excitement about the "Animal Crossing" and "Super Mario: Odyssey" trailers.
Mainly because they felt they were a bit too childish. Although you can't tell if a game is good or not just by watching the promotion and you have to play it to know. Plus, all the players really trust Nebula Games reputation.
But the problem is, they might not be able to play it.
Naturally, most players weren't that interested.
But now everyone never expected that this time at the convention they could actually eat the pie.
Instantly, everyone's emotions were stirred up.
