A month passed quietly.

Super Mario is also a complete hit, and there is no need for Sony to deliberately advertise, because countless media outlets are rushing to report any news about it to grab headlines.

Since most families in big cities now have TV sets, you can play games as long as you buy a game console and a game card.

This is also a relatively popular, otherwise how to play this game if you don't have a TV?

With the popularization effect of television, Super Mario is so popular.

Anyway, Super Mario has become a topic of conversation among young people at the moment, and they like to play games.

On the school road, in the class, countless elementary, junior high, high school, and college students are talking about it.

"Hey~ Did you clear the fifteenth level last night? I didn't clear the fifteenth level last night until half past three in the morning, but I'm angry. One student said to another.

"Hey, hey, I passed 15 levels after two hours of playing last night. And I also passed 16 levels and 17 levels, and I plan to go back tonight and clear 18 levels in one go. The further you go, the harder it is to clear the level!"

"Nani, you actually cleared the level and hit the 17th level?"

"Of course, I think this game can be cleared in half a month!"

"I believe you, then, can you first tell me how to clear the 15 levels, what traps need to be paid attention to, and how to get through the ......" The classmate asked seriously, holding his classmate.

"Hehe, I'll tell you if you invite me to ice cream after school. ”

"Okay, no problem!"

…………

"Hey, did you hear that? That guy in Class 3 cleared all 32 Super Mario levels in just one week. Now I don't know how many people worship him as a teacher, and I don't know how much tuition fees are charged. And on Sundays, many girls ask him to go to their house to play Super Mario together, and hand them over to clear the customs......"

"Really? Is that the nerd?"

"yes!"

"I'm so envious, why isn't that person me. ”

"I've heard that the girl you like also took the initiative to invite him. ”

"Nani, Baga, I'm going to play it all night when I go back tonight. ”

"Just you......?"

"Look down on me?"

"How?"

"Don't leave after school, I'm going to fight a duel!"

"Come on, whoever is afraid of whom. ”

“……”

Anyway, Super Mario is on fire all over the country!

Half a month ago, Super Mario was already on the market in Europe and the United States.

As soon as this game came out, it also caused a sensation in Europe and the United States. After all, in the 1960s, there were hardly any games. It's so eye-catching to come up with such a bomb-blowing game all at once.

In half a month, a total of 100,000 game consoles were sold on the US imperialist side, and 70,000 game consoles were also sold on the European side. And the number of sales continues to grow over time.

It's on fire, it's on fire, it's on fire all over the world.

Mitsui Foundation.

"Yaga, why do the Minamino Foundation, Sony Corporation, and Fujitsu Corporation become popular all over the world every time they launch a new product? If this continues, our electronics companies will have no room to survive at all!" Mitsui Ikeda scolded.

At the beginning, the big brother mobile phone, first the Trilon monitor TV, the home video recorder, then the BP machine, then the music Walkman, and the integrated circuit computer, and now the Super Mario game console. Each one is a global hit!

This made him feel powerless to complain!

"Baga, waste, waste! Are all the researchers in our company waste? Why haven't we come up with a product that surpasses them?"

"If this continues, all those researchers will have to go home and farm!"

Not only in this aspect, but also in the automobile and other industries, the Minamino Foundation is the leader, walking in the forefront of the world, and they have all followed the ashes all the way. I have been following the back of other people's pi shares.

For the past month, those players have been studying how to clear Super Mario, and after clearing the level, they are studying how to clear the level as quickly as possible!

Sony also held several big competitions for this purpose, which ignited another wave.

Anyway, in the eyes of young people, if you haven't played Super Mario you're a hillbilly. You can't afford a Super Mario console, you're a hillbilly. After all, Super Mario consoles aren't cheap.

Sony headquarters, this day Minamino Shuichi came here, at this time it has been two months since the launch of Super Mario, and Super Mario is also in the foreign market to show a blowout situation.

"So far, we've sold 600,000 Super Mario consoles worldwide! Sales are still rising, and I think this game will eventually sell 550 million units!" the sales manager bragged. But no one would argue with this boast, because the potential presented by Super Mario is truly staggering.

"yes, I thought it would be nice to sell up to 2 million units. I didn't expect to sell 600,000 units in just two months. Tezuka Takarishi said with emotion.

"Well, okay, everyone, be quiet. Shuichi Minamino stood up and pressed his hand against these Sony executives, and the entire conference room fell silent in an instant.

"Don't have your tail cocked in this pride. We're going to be working on the second and third generations of Super Mario! That's not the focus of this conference, the focus of this meeting is that we're going to continue to develop new games. We're not just going to get old with this one game. Shuichi Minamino took out a plan book in his hand.

Written above is the Contra game development plan.

That's right, Shuichi Minamino intends to let Sony's game development department continue to develop new games. After thinking about it, he felt that "Contra" was very suitable.

Contra is an arcade reeling shooter series that was later ported to other platforms. Players take on the role of a Teree unit and face a large number of enemies, from humans and machines to aliens and aliens. In the middle of the battle, players can shoot down flying special targets to gain various power-ups. The game's successful selling points include the ability to play two players at the same time (doubles), as well as the depth perspective of several scenes.

For this game, Shuichi Minamino also has a lot of confidence, and its popularity is definitely no worse than Super Mario! This game is definitely a game that has influenced the existence of a generation.

It has supreme honor and memories! Later famous Metal Slug games were developed based on its inspiration.
