Thinking that his company's record of the world's No. 1 game was about to be broken by other companies' games, Yamauchi Pu was a little unhappy, and then some small ideas came up.

"Iwata-kun, you asked the people in the marketing planning department to prepare a marketing plan for me, and the requirement is to make Super Mario's sales exceed 48 million within three months, and I must keep the position of the world's No. 1 game!" Yamauchi Pu Road.

"President, this ...... This ...... "Even the resourceful Satoshi Iwata is a little speechless, although the record of 42 million sales of Super Mario is still growing, but it was a game launched in 1985, with the launch of Super Mario Bros. 3, although the first game cartridge is still on sale, the sales growth has been quite slow, at most one or two thousand per month.

Now Yamauchi Pu will grow to 48 million in three months, isn't it difficult for a strong man? Even if you threaten the people in the planning department with seppuku suicide, they won't be able to do this!

"Ahem, I know it's difficult, so you can use your brains. In fact, the sales of Pokemon are not as good as our Super Mario Bros., just because they have two versions, red and green, so many players buy them repeatedly."

"You get the idea!"

"Yes! President: "What Yamauchi meant, Satoshi Iwata understood immediately. Pu Yamauchi just wants the company to launch a Super Mario Bros. Green or something, and make a new version come out, so that many die-hard fans of Super Mario Bros. can consume it again and buy another Super Mario Bros.

"But the president, we have now come out with Super Mario Bros. 3, if it is going to be released, then it should also be a revision of Super Mario Bros. 3, how can we come out with his first generation!" Satoshi Iwata said with a wry smile.

"But the sales of the 3rd generation are very bad, right, and now it is only 12 million copies sold, which proves that compared to the 1st generation, Super Mario Bros. 3 can't hold up the wall!" Yamauchi Pu said lightly.

In fact, Super Mario Bros. 3 is already a game launched in 1988. It is precisely because the sales of Super Mario Bros. 3 are very miserable that Nintendo has basically given up on launching the orthodox side-scrolling online game category of Super Mario Bros. and replaced it with games such as Mario World.

"So, I suddenly had an idea, can we reboot the first generation of Super Mario?" Yamauchi patted his thigh and said, "I think this idea is very good, you ask the development department to remake the first generation of Super Mario Bros. with the latest technology, basically keep all the original content and easter eggs, but to do better in the display effect, and at the same time design an additional hidden level out, as a new content for this version!" ”

"Well, I've got the name in mind, it's called Super Mario Bros. Plus, which means better content and quality than the previous Part 1!"

"Ah......" Iwata Satoshi's mouth opened wide, and he discovered for the first time that Yamauchi's creative ability was also very terrifying!

"Don't open your mouth here for me, I'll ask you, can this be done?" Yamauchi scolded.

"No problem! Absolutely! Satoshi Iwata immediately replied, and when he thought about it, the president's idea was actually quite good. Take out the hottest Super Mario Bros. and change the production again, then those customers who have feelings will definitely be eager to buy these games back immediately, maybe there will be tens of millions of sales, Nintendo's financial report this year is not good, isn't he expected to be promoted and raised?

However, there is still a problem here.

"President, if you make Super Mario Bros. Plus, it shouldn't be the same game, and their sales shouldn't be stacked together!"

"Bastard, who said it can't be stacked? Did you say it or did I say it? "Yamauchi Pu can't wait to kick Iwata Satoshi's body, this guy usually looks quite smart, why is he so stupid at this time?

"The content of these two games is exactly the same, but the graphics have changed, how can it not be a game? As long as we are sure that this is a game, which media would dare to fart there, believe it or not, he will never be allowed to report the news and information of any of our Nintendo games! Yamauchi's domineering speech made Iwata Satoshi suddenly realize.

Then Satoshi Iwata began to work hard, because he knew very well that Pu Yamauchi would never want to see Pokemon sales surpass Super Mario Bros. sales, even if only for a minute.

So Satoshi Iwata immediately summoned all the elites of the company's three development teams and asked them to immediately put down everything in their hands and go all out to develop this Super Mario Bros. Plus version.

In this regard, although the major development teams have a lot of complaints, but after Yamauchi Pu praised Iwata Satoshi in public, no one dared to put forward opinions anymore.

In addition, because it is a replica of the original game, all the data and level materials are ready-made, and even the development platform has not changed, so most of the code can be used, but some art materials need to be updated to make a small new level.

So the development department acted very quickly, and in less than half a month, this Super Mario Bros. plus was not produced, and then put it on sale.

Not to mention, after Super Mario Bros. Plus hit the shelves, it quickly aroused the feelings of the majority of people, and this reset game reminded many children of the scenes when they used to play Super Mario Bros.

As a result, within a week of its release, the sales of Super Mario Bros. Plus actually exceeded 3 million, and in a month, the sales exceeded 8 million, and it is estimated that the sales of more than 20 million in the end will not be a problem.

And Nintendo publicly stated that because the content of the two games is the same, but the name has changed a little, the sales of these two games should be counted together, so Super Mario Bros., which originally had a sales record of 42 million, became 45 million a week later, and became the first game in the world to break through 50 million sales a month later.

In this regard, many die-hard fans of Nintendo and Super Mario Bros. began to cheer wildly.

"Damn! Why is Nintendo so undisciplined, it's only been 94 years, and the remake and Plus have been tossed out by them! And when Boss Jia received the news that Super Mario Bros. Plus was on sale, the whole person was shocked.

It feels like the entire history of the game has been distorted by our Boss Jia.

And Nintendo also found that the reset version or plus is a good business, and you can reset some old games in the future!

——————————————

"By the way, Iwata-kun, I have one more question!" At the time of the conversation that day, there was actually such a small fragment.

"President, may I ask?"

"Do you think that such a small thing that costs only 9 US dollars, if you deduct the profits and taxes of channel providers, the real cost is about 7 US dollars, how much money can he Jia Yapeng make? Can he really make money?

"This ......" Iwata Satoshi stopped talking, he really couldn't understand how a pocket electronic pet machine that has basically entered the threshold of game consoles can compress the cost to less than $7, which is simply terrible!
