As the ground shook, a Tyrannosaurus rex ran forward, then suddenly stopped at the edge of the cliff, flicked its tail, turned its head, and roared to the sky.
It seems quite similar to that.
But the next second.
As the camera slowly moved up, it focused on the red hat on the head of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The style of painting suddenly changed.
Mario, who has a big nose, a hat, blue overalls and a beard, jumped up with the fireworks.
Officially kicked off the announcement of "Super Mario: Odyssey".
Yes.
Just the day after UMedia Technology announced the completion of financing.
Linmu Studios began to promote the game "Super Mario: Odyssey" on a large scale.
Everyone just wants to see how Lin Yao leads the financing-financed YouMei Technology to ride the wind and waves.
But she introduced the game to everyone.
It's just... nonsensical.
but.
This is not Lin Yao's fault, it is mainly the fault of the melon-eating people who are watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously.
After financing is completed.
Lin Yao didn't say anything.
Most of Zhang Youjie's remarks to the media were actually just nonsense.
Plans after true internal financing is completed.
Only a few senior executives inside knew about it, and it was impossible to tell the outside world.
Lin Yao has already decided on many things, and will not speed up or change anything just because the financing is completed.
Therefore, how could Linmu Studio announce with great fanfare what it was going to do on the second day of financing.
However, for the fans, it is probably because the Future S1 has been too dazzling recently, the previous Switch's overseas performance was too dazzling, and the amount of financing is too high.
The first round of financing was valued at 40 billion.
The first round is equivalent to two half-day foxes.
Most of the mobile phone companies that have emerged now have experienced 3 to 5 rounds of financing, and some have even higher rounds. This means that YouMei will go through at least two rounds of financing in the future.
If they keep up this momentum and then IPO smoothly...
The final market value is simply unimaginable.
In addition, the first round of financing amounted to 6 billion.
so.
There are really many people who want to see Linmu Studio’s next big killing spree.
Of course, there are also many people who are very wary of this.
This has caused misaligned expectations, making the announcement of "Super Mario Odyssey" seem out of place.
Many people couldn't laugh or cry about this.
But Lin Yao didn't take it seriously.
Linmu Studio is a game company, so why not announce and release the game?
Just started.
Some people still think that Linmu Studio is hinting that by using games on Switch, Future S1 will be as popular as Switch.
Especially sand sculpture players, their analysis is very clear and logical.
but.
As the time goes.
There are more and more announcements about "Super Mario: Odyssey", but they all have nothing to do with mobile phones.
Everyone has to admit it.
Linmu Studio is really just announcing its new game...
As news related to financing gradually faded away.
Players finally stopped worrying about it.
Start focusing on the game.
As a long-lost first-party masterpiece on Switch.
There are still many players looking forward to it.
After all, whether it was last year or the first half of this year, the biggest hits were PC games.
The Switch has been without first-party hits for a long time.
but.
Many players also understand that the current timing is indeed a bit embarrassing...
As a console whose main selling points are free switching and portability, Switch has just hit the wave of mobile game development...
It's really not the right time.
This is also the reason why many players feel that Linmu Studio is not announcing the game, but hinting at the foreshadowing.
Not to mention Linmu Studio’s own six mobile games.
Now Tianhu and other companies have launched their own mobile games.
Mobile gaming has indeed begun to move on the right track.
In terms of convenience, mobile phones are more convenient.
Are Switch games still competitive?
This became a topic.
certainly.
This is still one-sided in the gaming circle.
Anyone who has played the first-party masterpieces on Switch knows that the gameplay is much higher than that of mobile games.
So most players don't think this is a problem.
But for users who have never been exposed to Switch, it is difficult to say.
During this time, there was news about financing.
Many ordinary users have also been able to see the promotional video of "Super Mario: Odyssey".
After all, Linmu Studio stole the show, and of course their other actions also attracted much attention.
Under the various reports of "Super Mario: Odyssey", many Future S1 users have left messages asking others if this is a mobile game...
After learning it was not the case.
Many people asked again, why not make a mobile game available on Future S1...
soon.
This embarrassing scene has become a hot topic in the gaming circle.
"[Screenshot] I have to say, it's really embarrassing. The current Switch feels like it has collided with the Future S1. What's even more embarrassing is that this is a product of the same company."
"It's not embarrassing. A mobile phone is a communication tool. No matter how many things are attached to it, the most important function is still communication! But the Switch is a pure game console, just for playing games. It is not the same thing at all."
"Yes, Lin Yao should have guessed that there would be such a result. Do you remember that interview? During the carnival, she said that this "Super Mario: Odyssey" is the answer to the existence of Switch."
"It's actually hard to say. Objectively speaking, mobile game players and Switch players are indeed easy to blur."
"Indeed, it depends on how Lin Mu Studio responds to such a situation."
"..."
Players know the difference between first-party games and mobile games on Switch.
After all, the carrier is a completely different thing.
But they also understand that there is indeed room for ambiguity at the moment.
If you are a Future S1 user, most of them think this is the same game.
It is possible that eventually Switch games will be released on mobile phones.
This really worries players.
After all, mobile games are booming recently, and You Media, a subsidiary of Linmu Studio, has just completed financing...
Players now want to see how Linmu Studio will deal with misunderstandings from mobile phone users.
But Linmu Studio... didn't respond at all.
Publish the game as usual.
And most of the fixed audience, although they are surprised, have already pre-ordered.
As for mobile phone users...Linmu Studio has nothing to do with it.
at the same time.
Although the news about YouMedia’s financing has passed.
But the power is still there.
Zhang Youjie faced reporters and said that he would continue to increase the number of Future offline stores and expand overseas markets.
This is too destructive to developers.
plus.
Tianhu, which took the lead last month, made a high-profile announcement at the beginning of this month that it would increase investment in mobile games. It also revealed that the mobile version of "Tianhu Travels" has a very good sales volume, which has brought some positive results to Tianhu.
As a result, revenue has increased significantly.
Tianhu did not say clearly how much growth the mobile version of "Tianhu Travels" brought.
But a special mention can explain the problem very well.
Therefore, Future S1 has once again become a favorite among developers!
Falling back to the altar again!
Anyone who wants long-term development and fame and fortune wants to publish a mobile game on it that is popular with players.
As for the Jiaming Alliance... it suddenly fell from the altar.
In the eyes of many developers, it has become a place only suitable for making quick money.
Many developers have changed their attitudes towards the two platforms since then.
Even if.
Now the Jiaming Alliance also wants to be strict.
But without an app store, no matter how strict it is, it won't help.
Jiaming Alliance has thoroughly tasted the bitter fruit of indulging developers in the beginning.
There was nothing they could do.
We can only speed up the pace internally and get our app store online as soon as possible.
Future S1 here.
Although it has once again become a hot topic in the eyes of developers, the trend has also changed.
They no longer imitate the six mobile games from Linmu Studio.
Instead, based on this foundation, we began to think about client games suitable for porting mobile games.
certainly.
Most developers still choose the same path as Tianhu, and follow the turn-based system.
Only a small number of developers continue to scratch their heads and want to be the originator of a genre.
A new wave of different mobile game craze has emerged again.
As for users, their perception of mobile games, which was novel at the beginning, has gradually become accustomed to it.
More and more people are accepting it.
It is in this environment that "Super Mario: Odyssey" on Switch ushered in its release date...
For ordinary users.
This is a game that looks like a mobile game but is not a mobile game.
And for the players.
This first-party Switch masterpiece launched at the intersection of the times, in Lin Yao’s words, symbolizes the meaning of the Switch’s existence.
Most players.
We are very concerned about the performance of this game.
Many players even regard the release date of "Super Mario: Odyssey" as a life-or-death moment for Switch in the era of mobile games.
…
July 3rd.
There are only two days left until the release of Super Mario Odyssey.
at the same time.
New divisions have quietly appeared in Future's offline stores...
Switch.
Appeared in Future offline stores.
This was not announced with any fanfare.
But it's reasonable.
Although YouMedia has raised funds, control is still firmly in the hands of Linmu Studio.
Switch is a product of Linmu Studio.
It appears in offline stores, which is normal.
This can also provide Future offline stores with more diverse products.
at the same time.
The Future online official website also has an introduction page for Switch.
Players soon discovered this.
However, when the Switch appeared in a physical store, players started to notice it the next day...
The time has come for July 5th.
At 12 noon, "Super Mario: Odyssey" was officially unlocked.
And at the same time.
Pengcheng, Nanshan.
Yun Xingping walked into the Future offline store...
Pengcheng's Future offline store has been open for some time.
But the traffic volume in this offline store is still very scary.
In fact, the situation is similar in all major offline stores.
After all, mobile phones are indeed easy to use, and the decoration of the physical store is unique.
There are many people coming to join in the fun every day.
Yun Xingping came to try out the mobile phone today.
He is considered a light gamer. He has heard of the Future S1 for a long time and has seen the press conference.
But at that time, he felt that his mobile phone was enough.
After hesitating for a moment, he didn't change it.
but.
During this period, after the opening of the Future offline store, Future became very popular again, and the news of successful financing added fuel to the fire for this mobile phone.
His suppressed heartbeat could no longer be suppressed.
And by chance, he happened to be on a business trip to Pengcheng these days.
So after finishing the work, he rushed to the offline store and prepared to try out the mobile phone on site.
If it works well, he plans to buy it.
And came to the store.
Yun Xingping had to admit...it was really completely different from other mobile phone stores.
The decoration is really special.
But more importantly, stay comfortable.
He looked around the crowded store, sighed, and then with a little excitement, he was ready to try out the mobile phone.
but.
Not far after he walked out, his eyes were suddenly caught by a product that was not a mobile phone.
The main thing is that there are also a lot of people trying it there.
People gathered in a circle.
Mostly couples.
Of course, there are gay friends too.
And their movements were similar - each holding a small handle, staring at the screen attentively, and occasionally letting out an exclamation.
Laughter and laughter came frequently.
"Isn't that a Switch?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yun Xingping was a little surprised when he saw the situation over there clearly.
Although he didn't buy this console, as a light gamer, he had heard of it.
At first, he was a little curious that Future offline stores would sell Switch, but then he was relieved when he thought that they were all Linmu Studio products.
But his purpose this time was not to use the Switch, so he quickly looked away and turned to use his mobile phone.
Soon... Yun Xingping's gasp was heard.
Occasionally, there will be mutterings like "exactly the same".
He enthusiastically tried the phone for seven or eight minutes and made up his mind immediately.
purchase!
He put down the mobile phone he was trying out, then turned around, excitedly preparing to go to the staff to pick up the goods.
But it's on the way.
He passed the Switch trial area.
There was a sudden pause.
He thought that he would be able to get the phone later, and also thought that he had never tried the Switch. He thought that it was not short of time anyway, and it was a rare opportunity, so he planned to try this console as well.
However, the Switch area is smaller and crowded.
At first, he didn't find a chance to try it out, so he could only watch others play.
The person in front of him who was trying it out was a young couple.
The two of them each hold a handle.
As for the game he was playing, Yun Xingping didn't recognize it, but he had a vague impression of the characters in it.
Blue suspenders... seems to be called Mario.
This game, with its cartoon style and high saturation, feels a bit childish, but it is really lovable.
This young couple seems to have been trying it out for a while and is quite skilled at it.
"Throw the hat quickly."
"Throw it away."
The two communicated while controlling the hat and Mario himself.
Very poor coordination.
But it barely succeeded.
One throws the hat in the air.
The other controlled Mario to jump onto the hat, completed the continuous jump, and successfully climbed to the high platform.
And both of them were quite happy about it.
"Haha, Mario is so cute."
The woman held the handle with a smile on her face and was not in a hurry.
"Don't just call me cute... Throw your hat and get some gold coins."
The man was a little impatient and wanted to continue playing.
"You command me?" The woman suddenly turned her head.
The man was so frightened that he broke out in sweat and said humbly: "...No, we have to move forward."
The woman let him go: "Okay, eat, eat, let's go."
"Okay."
The man immediately became happy and controlled Mario to continue moving forward.
Long jump, triple jump, wall jump, ground jump, backflip...
The man is indeed very talented at playing games, even if he has only just played, he still looks good.
He controlled Mario to jump forward.
With Mario cheering happily, he explored the map.
And Yun Xingping looked at it, and he was fascinated.
Because just looking at it makes me feel very interesting.
And the levels in the game are really amazing.
Mario, controlled by two people, will find new surprises wherever he goes.
The entire Waterfall Country level is actually not big, but in such a limited space, the puzzles and collection elements are densely packed to an extremely exaggerated level.
Every box, every wall, every platform and corner, even every tree and stone.
It's more than just a scene decoration.
I can tell.
This is placed and designed by the developers after careful consideration.
It is precisely because of this.
For this couple, every step of exploration in the game may yield surprises.
There was constant laughter and laughter.
"Hahaha, if you install the iron ball dog on the wall, you will earn a lot of gold coins."
"Moon Moon! Look, there's another moon! Give me the handle and I'll eat it!"
"Don't run around and hit the rock wall with your dinosaur! Eat the purple gold coins on it!"
"Haha, it's turned into a flat surface, so cute."
"Jump...jump!"
"Buy clothes, buy clothes! This outfit looks great!"
"..."
The young couple were chatting, smiling and playing games excitedly.
Yun Xingping was so baffled that he saw it till the end.
They successfully launched the spacecraft.
At this time.
Game reminder, the experience level is over.
The young couple put down the controllers with unfinished content, and then inserted the controllers back next to the screen while chatting.
"It's so interesting, but it's just a trial..."
"The game is also on sale. Why don't you buy one and play it at home?"
"Isn't this bad?"
"Not only this game, but also many interesting games, it can also keep fit. Have you ever heard of a fitness ring? It can help you lose weight!"
"Ah? Really?"
"Go get your phone first. I'll explain to you later. Buy this "Super Mario" first, and then buy others."
"..."
The two put down the handle and left excitedly to check out.
Yun Xingping took over from them and started trying out the Switch.
He is also interested in this host.
And open the homepage.
He found that the Switch he was trying out not only had trials of "Super Mario: Odyssey", but also "1-2 Switch" and "Kirby".
He thought for a while, opened "Super Mario: Odyssey" and entered the trial level.
Watching others play and trying to play by yourself are completely different feelings.
It's really... so interesting.
Yun Xingping did not buy a Switch. As a light gamer, he always felt that he did not need such a console.
After the rise of mobile games.
He felt that it was no longer needed.
After all, you can now play games on your mobile phone, and it’s more convenient.
Then why buy a Switch?
Although many players are saying that the gameplay of first-party games on Switch is simply unbeatable.
But he never had any idea about it.
He just came here to try it out, and it was actually just a whim.
but.
now.
He finally has a clear understanding of the ‘gameplay of first-party games on Switch’.
Really...it feels like I've gone back to when I was a kid and played eight-bit games.
It’s so much fun!
During this time, he also played a lot of mobile games.
It's really a completely different feeling.
More convenient to control.
The handle also has real-time vibration feedback.
The gameplay...is even faster than any current mobile game.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! And.
He's not the only one who thinks so.
Because it was while he was playing.
Opposite him, two good buddies who were also trying out the console were also sighing.
"I thought it was the same as mobile games, but I didn't expect that the Switch can play so many games on the same small screen."
"Yeah, it's so interesting. I want to buy it. What's the price?"
"1999."
"..."
Yun Xingping did not continue to listen, because his attention was quickly attracted by the game.
But it has to be said.
He also wants to buy it...
…
And just when Wang Yunping was trying out Switch.
Many players who own Switch are also playing games at the moment.
For example, Li Yu, the number one player in the first carnival, immediately entered "Super Mario: Odyssey".
It started with the Kingdom of Hats, followed by the Kingdom of Sand, the Kingdom of Lakes, and the Kingdom of Forests...
After opening the game.
He was immediately hooked.
Tell the truth.
In terms of graphics performance, the "Dark Souls 2" released some time ago can kill this game instantly.
but.
While playing this game, Li Yu had a charming smile on his face the whole time.
Just dig through flowers and plants, kick rocks, find rewards inside, or play tricks on cute enemies.
He found it very interesting.
This is really... a very special experience.
If you really have to use one word to evaluate this game, then this game has no other advantages, only one - fun!
Yes.
It's just plain fun.
It's really fun.
finally.
After looking through the entire forest country.
Li Yu came to his senses, put down the Switch, rubbed his sore hands, and then looked at the screen.
Don't know why.
He suddenly remembered something.
When "Super Mario Odyssey" was first announced, the person in charge introduced the game and said something, she said - this is a love letter to the old days.
It's really a love letter...
Linmu Studio... is really awesome!!!
Mobile games? Why does Switch exist?
These are not problems at all.
Linmu Studio tells players with this game that this is not a problem at all!
No wonder Linmu Studio completely ignores the opinions of mobile phone users and does not consider the impact of the popularity of mobile games.
Because Switch represents pure gaming.
Today’s mobile games! Can’t even compare!
It really can’t compare!
Think of this.
Li Yu immediately picked up his mobile phone and logged into social media, ready to talk to those users who said "Super Mario Odyssey" is like a mobile game.
but.
The impulsive Li Yu just opened social media and found the game media reporting on "Super Mario: Odyssey". When he opened the comment area, he was confused...
Because of the comments with the highest likes.
The style of painting is completely different from the past few days...
"Hahaha, I thought it was just another mobile game, but after trying it on site, it's really different from the mobile game. It's so interesting!"
"Not only can you play games, but you can also exercise. The fitness ring looks great!"
"Except for the price of the game, everything else is very good. I bought it!"
"It's very interesting. I didn't expect to encounter such a good product when buying mobile phones."
