Akihabara has not been quiet these days.

Although the sales of Age of Wonders are far ahead of Nintendo and Sega.

But that doesn't mean the two giants are doing nothing.

In order to promote the game "Super Mario World", Nintendo hired Shigesato Iori as the advertising designer, and invited the famous movie star Ritsuko Tanaka to play the advertising CM, and the image of Mario Tanaka was played 24 hours a day, in order to make this advertisement deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As the main hit of "Super Mario World", which hosts sixteen hosts, I didn't expect it to have a limited effect.

If you follow the normal development trajectory, this game is naturally a big hit!

In Japan alone, shipments exceeded 3.55 million copies.

But now it's different.

In the past few years, the Age of Miracles has been multi-genre and more sophisticated games, and this group of players has already been raised.

Since a single domestic publicity is not enough, there is no way to complete the glory of the new host relay 8-bit machine.

Yes, after merging Sega's MD technology, Nintendo's SFC is finally available.

As a brand new SFC, many new games have been released in anticipation from fans.

And this "Super Mario World", Minoru Arakawa thought about it for a night, thinking that relying on the current publicity was not enough.

So I continued to invest in more ads.

Minoru Arakawa, who is regarded by his colleagues as a "business genius who never flinchs", once again invested tens of millions of dollars in advertising on Christmas Eve.

Even Nintendo's advertising partner, Siemens, has successfully repackaged its products for the consumer tastes of a new generation of gamers.

With the slogan "Mario Returns", the eye-catching advertising bombarded the senses of North American consumers in many ways, and hundreds of large trucks equipped with SFC consoles and games were displayed in major cities for gamers to experience first-hand.

And today, with the Age of Wonders schedule getting fuller and fuller.

Nintendo couldn't hold back and released a brand new game in Akihabara, although the game wasn't all finished yet.

But even the picture released now still shocked many players, and finally grabbed some players' attention to e-sports competitions.

The Legend of Zelda: The Triforce of the Gods

The story of this game takes the form of a prequel to the first two games, telling the story of Link, a descendant of the Knights of Hyrule before the first two.

One day, an evil sorcerer named Agahnim came to the kingdom of Hyrule to break the seal of the Seven Sages.

first plotted against the good king of the Hyrule Kingdom, and then used evil magic, one after another, to eliminate the descendants of the Seven Sages one by one, and the same fate befell Princess Zelda, Link in order to save Hyrule, shuttled back and forth between the original world and the dark world, and finally defeated the wizard and prevented Ganon's resurrection.

This game doesn't have a default protagonist name,

It's also a lot more set than the previous work.。

For example, magic slots, empty bottles, magic medals, famous swords......

However, the basic premise of this part is not based on the second part.

The basic system inherits the first work in the series, "Hailar Fantasy", and even the action is inherited.

In addition to retaining the setting of pushing objects, actions such as pulling objects backwards, lifting objects, and throwing raised objects have been added.

And because there are more SFC handle keys than FC handle keys, there are 3 attack keys that are often used in battle, one swings the sword, the other has multiple purposes, and the third is used to use the items in the secondary screen.

Famitsu magazine, which is the mouthpiece of the giant, gave this game an all-time high score of 39 points almost immediately!

It is called the highest masterpiece, and it can be said that this is the game with the highest score in the history of Japan!

Naturally, this also attracted the attention of most Nintendo's original fans.

At the same time, Sega also threw out the results of a year of lying on the salary.

The side-scrolling ACT game "Sonic" developed by young producer Yuji Naka is officially released!

This game pins on Sega's ambitions!

Sonic, created by artist Hirokazu Yasuhara, programmer Yuji Naka, and designer Naoto Oshima, came to the player.

To counter Nintendo and Age of Wonders, Sega decided to ditch the original mascot, AlexKidd, and design a new one instead.

The employees of Sega's 8th Software Development Department, led by Yuji Naka, began planning the new game.

More than 10 different character samples were submitted, including armadillos, rabbits, wolves, and the bearded figure of Theodore Roosevelt in pink pajamas and glasses.

In the end, in the vote held within Sega, "Mr. Needle Mouse", designed by Naoto Oshima, received the largest number of votes.

Yuji Naka decided to name him Sonic.

So, Sonic became Sega's new mascot, the buckle of this mascot is based on Michael Jackson, his shoe color is based on Santa Claus, and his personality is inspired by the slogan "getitdone" of future President Bill Clinton.

Hirokazu Yasuhara feels the embodiment of a modern sensibility that wants to get things done right away, blaming their mistakes on their own, rather than letting them linger.

According to Yuji Naka's description, the colors on Sonic's body also symbolize the peace, trust, and calmness that Sonic character's characteristics are.

The game music for Sonic was produced by Masato Nakamura from the famous Japanese pop music group "DreamsComeTrue".

Sega also drew Sonic on the tour bus and made it into a body advertisement, which is similar to Nintendo's behavior.

For the sake of Sonic's fame, Sega distributed a large number of brochures promoting the game on Christmas night, striving to achieve the best results at launch.

The game is a side-scrolling game, and the game controls are simplified to up, down, left, right and jump, players only need to control the character to move on a plane, and make the character use the spin and dash to attack the enemy through jumping or sprinting.

It's a racing game.

Although there are many new types, the display of the blue hedgehog on the screen still attracts the attention of many players.

In the category of racing, as early as the time of FC, there were games of the same type such as motorcycle circus.

But in the age of 8-bit computers, the rapid movement of basically every object is equivalent to a cloud of pixels floating.

Now it's different, the performance of the new substrate on the arcade machine can make Sonic perform very well!

Sonic, who is super fast and will constantly rotate and even attack enemies, is also undoubtedly popular with players.

People who have experienced it have appreciated it!

Nakaji Yu has to say that he is a genius.

The trial version given on Christmas night was a big hit!

As long as the player keeps pressing the forward button, they can rush all the way to the finish line without hindrance.

This mode of no more than a brain gives players an unprecedented speed experience.

Sega is also on the action.
