Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 71 What kind of garbage is this?
Chapter 71 What kind of garbage is this?
Dozens of game developers in Suri Electronics have now begun the process of making games.
The latest game from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, Super Mario Bros. 3, was released as scheduled.
In this generation of works, Bowser, as the main villain, is no longer limited to just catching the princess and waiting for the protagonist Mario to rescue him.
This time Bowser chose to lead his younger brother to attack the seven kingdoms of the Mushroom World at the same time, and took away the treasures of different kings, plunging the seven kingdoms into chaos.
If Mario wants to rescue the princess, he first needs to help the seven kingdoms solve the problem, then defeat the BOSSs of Kuba's younger brother guarding the seven kingdoms one by one, and finally go to the big BOSS's base to rescue the princess.
The whole story is quite traditional, but that’s what children want. Of course, there is something more important, which is a richer gameplay.
In the previous game, Super Mario had only three transformation forms, one transformed into a big Mario, one transformed into a Mario that breathed fireballs, and the last one transformed into a Mario that ate the Invincible Flower.
This work adds six transformation forms based on the original, each form has a very special functionality to help players explore the entire world.
In addition to the changes in character transformation, the content of the game itself has also been expanded wildly.
Eight large maps already have certain flexible adventure options, allowing players to choose difficult levels or easy levels.
Super Mario 3 is also known as the most difficult game in the original work.
Since people in this world have just experienced video games, Zhu Youxing felt that the difficulty should be lowered a bit, so he simply added a small number of levels that were equivalent to skipping classes so that players could pass them faster.
But if you want to experience all the fun of Super Mario 3, you must take risks on difficult roads, which will be more satisfying.
In the first part, there was only one big castle and one big BOSS to deal with in the entire game, but now there are eight.
The content was so packed that it reached the upper limit of the Famicom's capacity. In the end, more than 300 KB of game programs were crammed into a 256KB cartridge using a tricky method.
Suri Electronics' programmers were stunned for a long time after reverse-analyzing the code of Mario 1.
The game size is only 40KB, and Zhuyouxing is almost full of fun to play. It contains far more things than imagined.
They feel that if they make the same game, the capacity must at least double, which may not be enough.
Just to reproduce a game like Super Mario, dozens of people spent several days.
In the end, only a semi-finished product was produced, and there were many areas that were not checked and corrected in time. Fortunately, players in this era seem to be quite easy to fool. As long as there is a game to play, they can still barely accept this kind of game.
As for the birth of Super Mario Bros. 3…
This game can be regarded as the pinnacle of the Famicom, and it will be difficult to surpass it.
The only way to find another way out is from other categories. Takeyusei decided to concentrate on other types of games after the release of Super Mario Bros. 3, and wait for new game consoles to appear before considering new Mario works. Now the performance of the red and white consoles is only so high. , no matter how hard you try to make it, it’s useless.
On the day of release, it happened to be a day when the children had just had a holiday.
A few days ago, some of them bought PN game consoles and had a good time, including Xiao Tian Chong, the son of newspaper editor Tian Chong.
His family can be considered a middle-class family, so they can have spare money to buy these toys for their children, not to mention that Tian Chong himself likes to play game consoles.
Oda Chong was very happy for a long time after buying the PN game console that day. He showed it off among the children, and then invited the children to come to their home to play.
Children are always easily satisfied. Even though the games do look a little worse than those on the Famicom, the three games that come out at once still keep the children entertained for a short period of time.
But after Tian Chong played the PN game console for several hours, he only had one feeling.
Why would I waste my time on this thing?
With those few hours, wouldn’t it be nice if I drank some wine and watched TV?
What kind of garbage is this?
The games in the Famicom are not all very fun, but at least they can be played and make people feel comfortable.
He is not a game maker, he can't say what it feels like, but he can at least understand what is fun and what is not.
The three games on this PN game console are garbage! He feels that he needs to go to the newspaper office tomorrow and write an article to complain about it!
The time has also arrived for the release of Super Mario Bros. 3.
The day before the game was released, Tian Chong simply ran to the nearest store where the game was sold with his tent in hand, and queued up overnight.
Oda Chong originally wanted to follow him, but his father sternly refused.
The moment the door of the store opened and the clerk took out a billboard to officially announce the release of Super Mario Bros. 3, the long queue immediately started to stir. People in the tent came out excitedly and queued up. The eyes of the people in the team also shined.
The manager of the store was overjoyed when he saw this scene. This was much bigger than the previous PN game consoles, and the red and white consoles were more popular.
It seems that you have to be careful and not just listen to the salesmen of Surui Electronics bragging. Only the real sales channels will know who is the most popular.
Those so-called sales data of tens of thousands are just data and cannot truly represent whether the game console is really popular. Many people actually buy it blindly, which is equivalent to wasting their money.
“Hello, five thousand yen, your Super Mario Bros. 3, welcome again.”
"Hello…"
Today, many store clerks did not rest for a moment, as if the whole city was on the move.
Of course it’s not really that exaggerated, but the scene is really shocking.
Even reporters have caught wind of the news and reported the news of the game's release. This is equivalent to the TV station giving free advertising to Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and it is also during news time.
Super Mario Bros. 3 was sold out in almost all stores on the first day.
Their store manager contacted the sales staff of Youxing Electronic Entertainment non-stop to quickly purchase another batch of goods. How could they miss such a good opportunity to make money?
In the crowd, there was a group of employees from Surui Electronics.
They want to buy the game as soon as it is released, and then study the details of the game carefully.
Tian Chong reaped the benefits of queuing up all night. He successfully bought a box of Super Mario Bros. 3 that day. When he took it home, in Oda Chong's eyes, he was like a hero returning from a victorious battle.
“Dad, you are the best!”
Oda Chong shouted excitedly, and then impatiently followed his father and ran directly to the game console.
Then Tian Chong saw Xiao Tian Chong throw the PN game console aside without hesitation, and then plug in the connection cable of the red and white console.
