A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village

   "Very good, we must do enough in advertising! I think our game will definitely become popular all over the world." Minano Shuichi smiled.

"The chairman is right, the chairman said before that computer games are still in the groping state, and TV games are still in their infancy. We have developed such a fun TV video game today. I believe customers see this I will definitely like this game after the game." Tezuka Takuzhi said.

  Super Mario, full name "Super Mario Bros", is a famous horizontal version game produced by Nintendo. It was first launched on the red and white machine, and there are many follow-up works. So far, the total sales of multiple versions have exceeded 40 million sets. Among them, the protagonists Mario, Louis, Princess Peach, Chinobio and so on have become Nintendo's signature characters.

   For more than 20 years, Super Mario Bros. was the best-selling video game of all time, until WiiSports caught up in 2009. The game has sold a total of 40.24 million copies, ranking first in the Mario series and the second-highest-selling video game in the world.

   But this game has been jointly developed by Minami Shuuichi's Sony and Fujitsu. Because he abducted Tezuka Tezuka from Nintendo.

  Super Mario is a casual, educational video game suitable for elementary school students, junior high school students, high school students and even college students. Both boys and girls love to play. Its audience is definitely relatively large!

   "You are all right. I want to use it to open the door to the video game industry and open the era of gaming that belongs to us!" Hideo Minami said. He has great ambitions for this part of the game. He will not only design video games for TV, but also arcade games, computer games, mobile games and so on.

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

   The next day Sony will launch a new product launch, and at the same time carry out crazy advertising bombings in major media.

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

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

  Tokyo Electronics Business News: Sony has launched a new type of electronic product, I wonder if it can continue to create miracles and legends! Before the Walkman, before the BP machine has become a world trend. Whether this video game will lead the trend is worth our expectation!

   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 and there are hardly any games to play, especially video games! Even if there are some small games that are too simple to be simple, and too brainless to be brainless. Where can you compare to Super Mario?

   Coupled with Sony's reputation, many people came to Sony's physical store this day to see what this Super Mario looks like.

   You can see that Super Mario is quite fun in the TV commercials before. The main character Mario's goal in the game is to travel to the mushroom kingdom and rescue Princess Peach from the clutches of the big villain Kuba. Mario can collect gold coins scattered all over the game world, or tap special "? Bricks" to get gold coins or special items.

  Other "secret bricks" (usually hidden) may also hold more gold coins or some rare items. If the player gets a Super Mushroom, Mario will double in size and can take one more damage from an enemy or obstacle, as well as smash bricks above his head.

Players have a certain amount of life, and can also increase life by picking up green or orange "1UP mushrooms", collecting 100 gold coins, or knocking down a row of enemies with turtle shells, Mario is damaged, falls into a cliff, or runs out of time A life is lost, and the game ends when all lives are exhausted.

   From the picture above, this game is indeed a little childish, but in 1960, it was definitely not childish, but a novel, strange and magical endorsement!

   Because there are basically no video games in this era!

  Games were diversified in the 1970s, and became popular in the 1980s.

  Tokyo, Sony store.

"Thank you for coming today, our promotions will start today! Super Mario Bros. will launch a series of great deals today! All customers who can play Super Mario Bros. today will be given a free gift of this game. Machine!" The store manager said loudly to the hundreds of people in front of the store on the stage temporarily built in front of the store.

   That's right, this is a promotional tool created by the sales department above for each physical store.

   One of the projects is to allow those customers to experience the game Super Mario Bros. is it fun? Let others know if the product is good, right?

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

   This is definitely a promotional method. It’s free. It can attract a lot of people to come and try it.

   "Manager, manager, are you telling the truth? As long as you clear this game, you can get this game console for free?" A customer who looked like a high school student raised his hand and asked.

"Yes!"

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

   "Yes, but you need to re-queue. Anyway, it counts for today's games. You can play as many times as you want, but once you fail, you have to re-queue. This event is only valid today!" The store manager laughed.

   "Okay, then I must get that Super Mario game console for free!"

  In an instant, countless customers lined up for a try!

  There are already five assembled game consoles connected to TV monitors in the store.

   Five eager customers began to challenge this game. If you can clear the level, you can get a free Super Mario game console. How cool is it.

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

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

   "That's right, I must make a big loss for the Sony store today."

  The challenge begins instantly!

   Five game machines and five customers challenged. At the beginning of the first level, one customer failed the challenge and was directly eliminated by the trap in the level and lost a life.

   "GG!"

   "Haha...to die so soon? Scumbag."
