Chapter 668: The Fiery Super Mario

"Great, we have to do enough advertising! I think our game is going to be a hit all over the world. Shuichi Minamino smiled.

"The chairman is right, the chairman said before that computer games are still in a state of exploration, and TV games are still in the embryonic state. We've developed such fun video games for televisions today. I'm sure customers will love this game when they see it. Tezuka Takushi said.

Super Mario, whose full name is "Super Mario Bros.", is a famous side-scrolling game produced by Nintendo at that time. It was first launched on a red and white machine, and there are many follow-up works, and the total sales of multiple versions have exceeded 40 million units so far. The main characters Mario, Louie, Princess Pinkie Pie, Toadio and many others have become Nintendo's signature characters.

Super Mario Bros. was the best-selling video game of all time for more than 20 years, only to be caught up by ii Sports in 2009. With a total of 40.24 million units sold, the game still tops the sales charts of the Mario series and becomes the second best-selling video game in the world.

However, this game has now been jointly developed by Shuichi Minamino's Sony Corporation and Fujitsu Corporation. Because he kidnapped Nintendo's Tezuka Takushi.

Super Mario is a casual and educational video game that can be played by elementary, middle, high school and even college students. Both boys and girls love to play. Its audience is definitely relatively large!

"You're right, I want to use it to open the door to the world of video games and open up our gaming era!" said Shuichi Minamino. He has great ambitions for the game. He not only designs video games for television, but also arcade games, computer games, mobile games, and more.

In the future, he must build a game kingdom of his own!

The next day, Sony held a new product launch conference, and at the same time carried out crazy advertising bombardment in major media.

Island TV advertising time: Yesterday Sony launched a new type of electronic product - video games!

This game is called Super Mario Bros., and it is the world's first video game for television, and it is a casual puzzle game. The monitor is connected to the TV, and the game card is inserted into the game console card slot......

Tokyo Electron Business News: Sony has launched a new type of electronic product, and I wonder if it can continue to create miracles and legends! The previous Walkman and the previous BP machine have become the trend of the world. It is worth looking forward to whether this video game will lead the trend now!

Under the bombardment of various advertisements, on the first day of next month, Sony stores of all sizes across the country put the game "Super Mario Bros. on the shelves".

It's 1960 now, and there are very few games to play, especially video games! Where can you compare to Super Mario?

Coupled with Sony's reputation, many people came to Sony's physical store on this day to see how this Super Mario was.

Super Mario can be seen in a TV commercial before, and the main character of the game, Mario, aims to travel to the mushroom kingdom and rescue Princess Peach from the clutches of the villain Kuba. Mario can collect gold coins scattered around the game world, or hit special "bricks" to get gold coins or special items.

Other "Secret Bricks" (usually hidden) may also contain more gold or certain rare items. If the player obtains the Super Mushroom, Mario will double in size and will be able to take damage from enemies or obstacles once, as well as shatter bricks overhead.

The player has a certain number of lives, and can also increase their health by picking up green or orange "1UP Mushrooms", collecting 100 gold coins, or knocking down a row of enemies with turtle shells, Mario will lose a life when he takes damage, falls off a cliff, or runs out of time, and the game ends once all lives are depleted.

Judging from the graphics, this game is indeed a bit infantil, but in 1960 it was definitely not naïve, but a new, peculiar, and magical synonym!

Because there are basically no video games in these days!

Games only diversified in the 70s, and it didn't take long for games to become popular in the 80s.

Tokyo, Sony physical store.

"Thank you for coming today, the promotional activities we are doing today will start immediately! Today, Super Mario Bros. will launch a series of discounts! All customers who can play Super Mario Bros. today will give away a free game console!" The store manager said loudly to hundreds of people in front of him on the temporary stage at the entrance of the physical store.

That's right, this is a promotional tool that the sales department has come up with for various physical stores.

One of the things about this project is to allow those customers to experience the Super Mario Bros. game for themselves, and whether the product is good or not for others to know if they have played it, right?

The second one is that if anyone can clear the level, they will get a game console!

This is definitely a promotional method, free, can attract a lot of people to come and give it a try, even if you don't try, it can form an onlooker effect.

"Store manager, is what you said true? As long as you play this game, you can get this game console for free?" asked a customer who looked like a high school student raised his hand.

"Yes!"

"That time doesn't work, can I play it one more time?"

"Yes, but you need to re-queue, anyway, you can play as many times as you want, but if you fail once, you have to re-queue. This event is only valid today!" the store manager laughs.

"Okay, then I'll make sure to get that Super Mario console for free!"

In an instant, countless customers lined up to give it a try!

The store already has five game consoles connected to TV monitors.

Five eager customers start to challenge the game, and if you can beat the level, you can get a free Super Mario console.

You must know that this Super Mario game machine is not cheap, almost catching up with the price of BP machines.

"Isn't it just an adventurous casual game! Looking at the picture shouldn't be very difficult to clear the level, I will definitely get a game console for free today!"

"It's just, I have to lose a lot of money in the Sony physical store today. ”

The challenge starts in an instant!

Five game consoles and five customers challenged, and at the beginning of the first level, there was a customer who failed to challenge, and was directly eliminated by the trap in the level and lost a life.

“GG!”

"Haha...... Dead so soon? scum. ”
