Dozens of game developers in Surui Electronics have now begun the process of making games.
The latest game from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, Super Mario Bros. 3, was released as scheduled.
In this generation of works, Bowser, as the main villain, is no longer limited to capturing the princess and waiting for the protagonist Mario to rescue him.
This time Bowser chose to lead his younger brothers to attack the seven kingdoms of the Mushroom World at the same time, and took away the treasures of different kings, plunging the seven kingdoms into chaos.
If Mario wants to rescue the princess, he first needs to help the seven kingdoms solve their problems, then defeat the bosses of Bowser's little brother who are guarding the seven kingdoms one by one, and finally go to the big boss's base to rescue the princess.
The whole story is quite traditional, but the children just like it. Of course, there is something more important, which is a richer gameplay.
In the previous game, Super Mario had only three transformation forms, one transformed into Big Mario, one transformed into Mario that breathed fireballs, and the last one transformed into Mario eating Invincible Flowers.
This work adds six transformation forms based on the original, each form has a very special functionality to help players explore the entire world.
In addition to the changes in character transformation, the content of the game itself has also expanded crazily.
The eight large maps already have certain flexible adventure options, allowing players to choose difficult levels or easy levels.
Super Mario 3 is also known as the most difficult game in the original game.
Since people in this world have just experienced video games, Zhu Yuxing felt that the difficulty should be lowered a bit, so he simply added a small number of levels that were equivalent to skipping classes so that players could pass the levels faster.
But if you want to experience all the fun of Super Mario 3, you must take risks on difficult roads, which will be more satisfying.
In the first part, there was only one big castle and one big boss to deal with in the entire game, but now there are eight.
The content was so packed that it reached the upper limit of the Famicom's capacity. In the end, a trick was used to cram more than 300 kb of game programs into a 256 kb cartridge.
Programmers from Surui Electronics were stunned for a long time after reverse-analyzing the code of Mario 1.
The size of the game is only 40kb, and Zhuyouxing is almost full of fun to play. It contains far more things than imagined.
They feel that if they make the same game, the capacity must at least double, which may not be enough.
Just to reproduce a game like Super Mario, it took dozens of people several days.
In the end, only a semi-finished product was produced, and there were many areas that were not checked and corrected in time. Fortunately, players in this era seem to be quite easy to fool, and as long as there is a game to play, they can still barely accept this kind of game.
As for the birth of Super Mario Bros. 3…
This game can be regarded as the pinnacle of the Famicom, and it will be difficult to surpass it.
The only way to find another way out is from other categories. Takeyusei decided to concentrate on other types of games after the release of Super Mario Bros. 3, and wait for new game consoles to appear before considering new Mario works. Now the performance of the red and white consoles is only so high.
, no matter how hard you try to make it, it’s useless.
On the day of release, it happened to be a day just before the children had a holiday.
A few days ago, some of them bought a PN game console and had a good time, including Xiaotian Chong, the son of newspaper editor Tian Chong.
His family can be considered a middle-class family, so they can have spare money to buy these toys for their children, not to mention that Tian Chong himself likes to play game consoles.
After Oda Chong bought the PN game console that day, he was very happy for a long time. He showed it off among the children, and then invited the children to come to their home to play.
Children are always easily satisfied. Even though the games do look a little worse than those on the Famicom, these three games are released at once, which still keeps the children entertained in a short period of time.
But after Tian Chong played the PN game console for several hours, he only had one feeling.
Why would I waste my time on this thing?
If I have a few hours, wouldn't it be nice if I drank some wine and watched TV?
What kind of garbage is this?
The games on the Famicom are not all very fun, but at least they can be played and make people feel comfortable.
He's not a game maker, so he can't say what it feels like, but he can at least understand what's fun and what's not.
The three games on this PN game console are garbage! He feels that he needs to go to the newspaper tomorrow and write an article to criticize them!
And the time has come for the release of Super Mario Bros. 3.
The day before the release, Tian Chong simply ran to the nearest store where the game was sold with his tent in hand, and queued up overnight.
Oda Chong originally wanted to follow him, but his father sternly refused.
The moment the door of the store opened and the clerk took out a billboard to officially announce the release of Super Mario Bros. 3, the long queue immediately started to stir. People in the tent came out excitedly and lined up.
The eyes of the people in the queue also shone.
The manager of the store was overjoyed when he saw this scene. This was much bigger than the previous PN game consoles, and the red and white consoles were more popular.
It seems that I have to be careful and not just listen to the salesmen of Surui Electronics bragging. Only the real sales channels will know who is the most popular.
Those so-called sales data of tens of thousands are just data and cannot truly represent whether the game console is really popular. Many people actually buy it blindly, which means they have spent money in vain.
"Hello, five thousand yen, your Super Mario Bros. 3, welcome again."
"Hello……"
Today, many store clerks did not rest for a moment, as if the whole city was on the move.
Of course it wasn't really that exaggerated, but the scene was really shocking.
Even reporters caught wind of the news and reported the news of the game's release. This was equivalent to the TV station giving free advertising to Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and it was also during the news period.
Super Mario Bros. 3 was sold out in almost all stores on the first day.
Their store manager non-stop contacted the sales staff of Youxing Electronic Entertainment to quickly purchase another batch of goods. How could they miss such a good opportunity to make money?
Mixed in the crowd were a group of employees from Surui Electronics.
They want to buy the game as soon as it is released, and then study the details of the game carefully.
Tian Chong waited in line all night and reaped the rewards. He successfully bought a box of Super Mario Bros. 3 that day. When he took it home, in Xiao Tian Chong's eyes, he was like a hero returning from a victorious battle.
"Dad, you are the best!"
Xiaotian shouted excitedly, and then he couldn't wait to follow his father and ran directly to the game console.
Then Tian Chong saw Xiao Tian Chong throw the PN game console aside without hesitation, and then plug in the connection cable of the red and white console.
