Friday at 6 o’clock on the first floor of Metro City, Shanghai, a lady asked the store staff about some details of the machine in front of the National Bank NS counter. Some issues are quite professional and involve game cassettes and servers. After taking a call, she left in a hurry. I chased and chatted with her.
On December 10, the National Bank of Nintendo Switch (hereinafter referred to as “NS”) was launched. That weekend, I went to Shanghai and went around three officially authorized stores and five trendy play stores. Metro City is one of them. I have read some discussions on NS National Bank online, and the speakers are mostly experienced players. They belong to the “core player”. I want to hear more voices.
In these shops, I found more than 20 people who seemed interested in NS National Bank and chatted. There are children, parents, young couples. Most of them pass by, and a small part of them show their willingness to buy. They are often called “casual players”-corresponding to “core players”. What surprised me a little is that these casual players, even if they never play console games, don’t know anything about NS National Bank. One is because of the penetration of advertisements and the popularity of fitness rings on social media the other day; the second is because they have the willingness to buy and do some homework, after all, it is more than two thousand dollars. They will check the information on the Internet, ask a friend who knows it, and then make a decision. Like the lady mentioned earlier.
My husband and I have never played games. I did n’t know much about NS before, just watching others play. I bought it for my child, he is in third grade. Yes, he just called. He was in the interest class next to EF, and just after class, I was about to pick him up.
He did n’t play games very much, at most he played mini games on iPad. Once I went out to play and saw others playing, he wanted it. The other child is a kindergarten child who plays games very well and the two children have a good time together. I think, the winter vacation is coming anyway, buy one for him as a gift.
I searched on the Internet, and I saw the Bank of China. If there is no National Bank, you may buy parallel imports. I asked a friend who knows what I know. My friend advised me not to buy the Bank of China and sent me a video saying that the Bank of China has limited functions. I think that everyone’s needs are different. He is a person who is more likely to play, understands games, and likes to interact with people in games. But my needs are simple, that is, to play inside the home. Bought home, mainly for children to play, we just look around, so there is no need for very complicated functions. In terms of after sales, the Bank of China should be more convenient and more secure than parallel imports.
Actually I have selected it in the shopping cart. I have a shopping card, so I will buy it online. Come to the physical store to see whether the main problem is whether to buy the National Bank or parallel imports. I want to hear what they say.

It is estimated that there are many training institutions near Metro City. Most of the players who tried games at the counter were adults. They asked, some were parents, waiting for their children to go to class, and by the way, when they saw a game there, they came to play two.
A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing glasses and smiling. The first thing he attracted me was the thing in his hand: one in his left handA moss stalk of Shanghai “Old Xiangzhai” bag, a thermos cup in the right hand, and wolfberry in the cup. He asked the store clerk which game Mario was on. I listened for a while and knew that he had visited the Pacific Digital City next door. Pacific Digital City has a number of video game counters, mainly parallel imports, and also sells national banks. For people who do n’t know much about games, the water is a bit deep. I thought he might really have a purchase plan, so I talked to him.
I’m here for proofing (Note: Shanghai dialect is “inquiring”), and I want to help my daughter take a look. Yes, I came alone. I’m resting today. I rest on Friday and work on Saturday and Sunday. My daughter rarely goes shopping with us. She likes to play with her classmates. Now the children are like this, the adult advised her to go out, she said, I have nothing to go out. When the classmate called, he went out immediately.
My daughter ’s third day of this year, she usually plays mobile games more. The screen of the mobile phone is too small, she has deep myopia, five Baidu. If the screen is larger, it will look more comfortable. You have to take care of your eyes.
What games does she play? I’m not sure, I just know that she likes two dimensions. Her aging mother did not play mobile games for her, and all the games on the mobile phone were deleted. Check her phone daily for games. As for whether she has another cell phone, I don’t know.
She also plays the “Eating Chicken” game with her classmates. Her classmates are not the kind of playful people, I am more at ease. Therefore, the rolling path must be well rolled (Note: The rolling path means “make friends” in Shanghai dialect).
I’ve been following NS recently, mainly online. My younger brother has one at home, it is parallel imports, I have also seen it. Proofing first, waitAfter her daughter’s entrance exam next year, she wants to buy one as a reward.
The price is okay, anyway, cheaper than mobile phones. In fact, the parallel-importing national bank does not matter. It doesn’t matter if you play for two or three years. My PS3 is of very good quality. I played it for four or five years and never repaired it. I only changed a handle. I think that as long as the quality of the National Bank passes, the parallel imports will become less and less, and everyone will come to buy the National Bank.
The game should be cheaper, 300 yuan is still a bit expensive. All previous PS3 games I played were cracked. I can’t afford to buy so many genuine copies.
Fitness rings have also become quite hot recently. I have seen the promotional video taken by that woman, and I feel that this thing is good for exercise. I want to buy one for my wife and let her exercise. She seldom exercises and sits all the time. Unfortunately, fitness rings can only be played by one person.

I rarely see so many couples when playing games. I spent three or four hours at the NS counter in Metro City to try it out. Half of them were parents and children, and the other half were couples. Of course, it may be because of weekend evenings that most of the shopping malls are mainly couples.
A young couple watching someone play beside. The girl watched with interest and explained to the boy while watching, how to play, how to hold the handle, and how to connect to the TV. After watching it for a while, the girl choked on the boy and said, there is a staff member over there, please go and help me.
He (referring to his boyfriend) does not play console games, but only plays World of Warcraft. I want to buy it. He said I had a three-minute fever, in fact I used to play a lot. I used to play NDS, every day, “Mario” “019/12 / 51.png! 720 “alt =” “width =” 814 “height =” 611 “srcset =” https://s3.ifanr.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/51.png ! 720 814w, https://s3.ifanr.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/51-360×270.png 360w, https://s3.ifanr.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12 /51-768×576.png 768w “sizes =” (max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px “>

On Saturday afternoon, I returned to Metro by Metro. In the subway, an old lady was carrying a violin case, and the child was carrying a schoolbag and behind her. When I was out of the subway, next to the bus platform, a mother held her cell phone, and the boy faced her and recited the English words aloud. On the sidewalk, the girl picked up a yellow sycamore leaf from the ground. The leaves were spotted, not as transparent as the golden ginkgo leaves. The girl held it in her hands and was very happy.
There are more NS counters in Metro City than last night, and the proportion of children has increased significantly. Parents take their children shopping, or take them to relax during remedial classes.
The boy and his sister are standing in front of the trial stand. The boy is tall. My sister is still young, and she can only look up to see the screen. The two stood together, looking from the back, like father and daughter. The young girl pointed at the character selection screen and said, “I want to choose that beauty.” She doesn’t know how to use the handle, and the selection box is bouncing between different characters. The boy said anxiously, going up. Mother said next, slow down.
The brothers and sisters were so engaged, and the mother urged him a few times before letting down the handle. The boy had a snack, and asked his mother if he could buy one for Chinese New Year. I asked the boy if it was fun. The boy didn’t speak, the sister looked up to answer, it was fun, it was super fun. Boys are in the fifth grade of primary school, and their sisters are in kindergarten. Parents usually do not allow them to play games, only winter and summer vacations can play. My sister likes to play mobile games like Baby Bus. The boy has his own cell phone, but is kept by his parents, and he takes it out when needed. My mother pointed at the game screen on the TV and asked me if the children had to be so close to the screen to play this at home.
