Chapter 821: E3 Opening
At 9 a.m. on July 1, 1995, the long-awaited E3 finally opened.
As for the E3 exhibition, the Organizing Committee of the World Consumer Electronics Show once joked to the reporter who came to interview that if more than 30,000 people could come to the exhibition on the first day of E3, then he would sit in the subway for ten stops without pants.
Then, on the day of the opening of E3, when the reporters went to interview with cameras, they were horrified to find that at the entrance of the exhibition hall, there was a sea of people, blocking all the five entrances that were originally open.
Even though the exhibition center was later urgently increased from 5 to 10 entrances, it was still full of people, and the queue had to wait for a full hour to enter.
According to rough estimates, the flow of people blocking the door alone is probably more than 30,000 people, and the reporters have begun to excitedly write in their hearts, how to let the chairman of the organizing committee go to the subway to perform without pants.
Soon, these reporters were the first to enter the exhibition hall through the special channel for the media.
Because it had just been launched at this time, although there was a large number of people blocking the door, the interior of the exhibition hall was still a little empty.
It's all reporters who give priority to shooting targets, which is naturally Nintendo's showroom, and to be honest, Nintendo has invested a lot of money this time.
First of all, at the door of the Nintendo exhibition hall, you can see 4 dolls wearing leather holsters, namely the Mario brothers, the demon king Kuba, and Princess Pinkie, these four dolls are very cute.
The entire Nintendo exhibition hall is divided into three parts, and the first thing that catches your eye is the main stage, which is where Nintendo uses to release various advisories and new games.
There is a large movie screen behind the main stage, more than 100 folding chairs are placed in front of the main stage, and there are various decorations, which is a very good stage.
And this is also the biggest stage in the entire Hall A.
On both sides of the main stage,It's Nintendo's game area,Nintendo has set up their own game area for a total of 13 games,The largest of them is naturally the Super Mario Bros. game area,The size is actually a little larger than the main stage,It's full of all kinds of Super Mario Bros. dolls,At the same time, more than 20 TVs and FC are placed in all corners of the exhibition hall,In addition,There is also a Super Mario art exhibition, Inside hangs the original characters drawn by Nintendo's game designers when they designed the original Super Mario.
There are also oil drawings of figures, high-definition drawings, etc., a variety of artworks.
There is also a game area in the exhibition area, in the game, a turtle's head is constantly moving quickly on the track, and all players have to do is to quickly jump on the turtle's head when the turtle moves, and then jump to the opposite side, just like the classic action of the Mario brothers trampling the turtle.
And if you can complete the challenge in one go, you can get a one-of-a-kind Super Mario merch as a reward, which is definitely a paradise for Super Mario Bros. fans.
In addition to the Super Mario Zone, there are also Cerda Zone, Kirby Star Zone, Contra Zone, Donkey Kong Zone, Dragon Quest Zone, Final Fantasy Zone, etc., the 13 most famous games on the Nintendo platform have all become special zones and appeared in Nintendo's exhibition halls, which surprised countless fans.
These special areas,There are game consoles and TVs for trial games,There are also various game peripherals,As well as live games specially developed for games, etc.,Attracted the attention of a large number of players,At this time, a huge part of the players,All stay in Nintendo's game area。
The last part of the Nintendo exhibition area is the hardware experience area, giving players to experience Nintendo's various hardware products, starting from the first generation of FC game consoles, almost all game-related products released by Nintendo can be found in this special area, and it is also equipped with Nintendo's full range of game cartridges.
But if you look closely, you will find that Nintendo's latest game console VB is not in this area, and even the entire Nintendo exhibition hall can not find any VB elements, as if Nintendo has never released this game console, which shows how bad VB is in Nintendo's heart at this time.
Then there's Sony's exhibition area,Although this is the second largest exhibition area in the entire exhibition hall,But just like what Yamauchi Pu commented before,Sony's exhibition area is actually very monotonous and boring,It's a PS connected to the TV and placed there,There are about 150 units in total,All of them are for players to experience the game,Feelings Sony is using PS to open an Internet café。
In addition to this blockbuster game experience area,There are also Sony's various game display areas,But these games are third-party games,It can be seen that Sony itself is also a little perfunctory.,It's to post some promotional posters.,Engage in some game trials.,And then get some game peripherals or something.,It feels like a formality.。
As for EA's exhibition area, it is the same as Sony, all of them have become a sea of computers, and then each computer can only play one game, there are 200 computers present, including 200 different games, players can change the computers one by one to play the game, but such an exhibition hall looks at the reporter with a headache, he has no desire to enter.
Finally, after looking at the exhibition halls of some small game companies, the reporter summarized that Nintendo's exhibition hall is indeed worthy of its name, it is the most attentive of all feelings, and it is also the most effective and attracts the most players.
In fact, the exhibition halls, EA and Sony's are a little collapsed, but unexpectedly, many small game companies have given very novel and creative exhibition halls.
After the reporters visited all the exhibition halls, the A exhibition hall became crowded at this time, because most of the players had already entered Hall A, and it was a little difficult for the entire A Hall A to find a place to put their feet.
"Alright, we're interviewing some players, and we can call it a day and go home!" The reporter said to the camera behind him, but the cameraman's expression was a little strange.
"Thor, is there something wrong with me?" Seeing the cameraman's expression, the reporter thought that there was something on him!
"No, I just followed you all the way, but it seems that there are some important things that I haven't seen!" The cameraman muttered that the entire TV station knew that the cameraman was actually a heavy game enthusiast, and even sometimes refused to go to work in order to play games, even if his salary was deducted, it didn't matter, if he didn't have a good father and was a shareholder of the TV station, he would have been fired a long time ago.
Because of this, this cameraman actually took the rare initiative to apply for this opportunity to shoot at E3, probably because he wanted to work and had both hobbies.
In fact, the reporter himself is also a game lover, otherwise he would have come to E3 and not know anything about the game, so he would still be interviewing a fart.
Being reminded by the photographer of this, the reporter also felt as if something was wrong.
"It feels like something is missing!" The photographer muttered suddenly.
"Yes, there is something missing, but what is missing?" Just as the reporter and photographer were muttering at the same time, suddenly a loud and melodious singing voice floated into Hall A.
The singing was so familiar that the pores of the reporters and photographers, as well as the players in the audience, all stood up at this moment.
"I've got Pokemon!" With such a shout that all Mi people are familiar with, and then the theme song that is so familiar that it can no longer be familiar, and finally the reporter and photographer shouted at the same time, "Pokemon, the missing thing is Pokemon!! ”
Yes, in the entire Hall A, I didn't see any Pokemon-related displays, which is indeed the most uncomfortable thing!
