Super Mario World

As the figure of Takayuki gradually faded from the screen, those previously refreshed characters reappeared. 

At this moment, they were all very happy with their new images.

Then, one after another, space portal doors opened, leading to their respective worlds.

Mario ran to his own space portal, then turned around to wave goodbye to the other characters, leaped into the portal, and the camera followed Mario into his world.

The somewhat monotonous screen of Super Mario changed.

The clouds were dynamic, the colors of the game world became richer, and most importantly, the music sounded more realistic than in the 8-bit era.

"A brand new Mario world! The world from the 16-bit era is beckoning to all."

In this world, Mario embarked once again on the journey to defeat Bowser and save the princess.

And this time, the monsters and scenery along the way had made great progress compared to before.

All of this was thanks to the richer and more colorful display of the SFC.

Although the underlying layer was still 8-bit pixels, the richer colors made this game completely different.

The players who liked Super Mario in front of the TV were trembling with excitement. This was the gaming machine they wanted!

It turns out that fun games can also have better graphics.

The game itself hasn't changed much; it's just that the graphics are more high-definition and more dazzling.

But it clearly gives people the urge to play again.

As Mario's screen ended, the camera once again returned to the previous pure white world, and then focused on Lance from Contra.

Lance also made a gesture of farewell, and then returned to his Contra world.

In the Contra world, the screen was already very good, and now it was once again improved, making Lance himself seem more realistic.

Next were The Legend of Zelda, Dragon Quest...

One by one, the games that had been optimized with new graphics were showcased, and the final paragraph of text appeared before the players.

"All first-party games on the Red and White Machine will be presented with better graphics to players. Players who already own these games only need to pay an additional 500 yen to exchange their cartridges for updated graphics. (Graphics update games can only run on the new SFC console.)"

Just 500 yen to get a more beautiful game, and the players watching TV were almost entirely delighted, without any resistance at all, but rather very pleased.

It's just 500 yen, which is quite a bargain!

They may not have thought that their cartridges were originally purchased for three or four thousand yen, which is quite a deal!

This is truly an inexpensive entertainment product.

Some game companies watching this scene couldn't help twitching their mouths.

Is it really that ruthless?

Enhance the graphics of their own games once and then sell them again, it's shameless.

However, this strategy of replacing cartridges for old players basically just recovers the cost, which is almost equivalent to giving players new game cartridges for free.

But for new players, buying a new game console and new cartridges will inevitably be more expensive than the Red and White Machine, which is unavoidable.

And Takayuki's purpose is actually to hope that players can enter the SFC era as soon as possible.

Because the technological development of this world itself is about ten years faster than in the previous world. According to the normal pace, by this time in the previous world, the PS2 had been on sale for two or three years.

Takayuki can only speed up the pace of early replacement of game consoles, to keep up with the rhythm of this era.

After the SFC is released, the Engineering Development Department should start developing the next generation of game consoles.

On the TV, Takayuki's figure appeared once again.

"I wonder if you players are satisfied with this graphics upgrade?"

Satisfied, super satisfied!

Many players in front of the TV nodded happily.

Takayuki seemed to hear the voices of the players in front of the TV, so he smiled knowingly and said, "Please don't be satisfied too soon, because it's not over yet."

After saying that, Takayuki's figure gradually faded away again, and a familiar tune played.

"Mario! Mario!"

Players who recognized it, especially the children, shouted joyfully.

The familiar big-nosed Mario appeared on the screen again.

This time, he appeared in a completely new world.

This was the dinosaur world, where Bowser and his minions were once again planning to wreak havoc on the continent.

And our protagonist Mario once again took on the mission to defeat Bowser and save the entire continent.

The children bounced with joy, as if they were already Super Mario at this moment.

Since the release of Super Mario 3 a few months ago, people have been urging for the new Mario to come out as soon as possible!

They couldn't wait to play as Mario again for another adventure.

Mario's appearance also caused the ratings to skyrocket once again, already breaking through to twenty-three percent, and the numbers were still rising.

Sakigawa Ujito remained silent as he watched the TV, and no one knew what he was thinking right now.

Last time, it was a Mario game that rendered them unable to fend for themselves, and now it's happening again.

But this time, they also had a fighting chance, with four hundred thousand users now, and slowly increasing. Comparatively, they probably won't be crushed too badly... right?

The new Dinosaur Continent also brought new ways to play.

This time, Mario's transformation attributes were reduced a lot, but new characters like Yoshi the dinosaur were added.

This dinosaur would be a great help to Mario along the way, and there would be many types of Yoshis in the future.

This also meant the introduction of another new gameplay style.

Before this, some girls who were forced by their younger brothers, older brothers, or fathers to watch Face-to-Face Meetings had no interest in video games.

They thought that was something only barbaric boys would like, and girls should be more gentle.

Compared to video games, it was clear that playing house was more fun for them.

Just at this moment, many girls were absent-mindedly watching the Face-to-Face Meeting with their brothers, and then quietly started playing house themselves.

Remember to get vaccinated today to prevent illness, and also remember to clean up their little homes.

Hmm, my Pikachu is the cutest! I heard someone say this Pikachu's official name seems to be Pikachu?

It would be so nice if there were really such cute mice in this world.

But when the brothers, older brothers, or fathers next to them became happy because of the TV screen, the girls couldn't help but look up casually.

Seeing that the main character turned out to be a big-nosed shorty, they felt that this was once again something for boys. Why couldn't there be something cute that they liked?

Oh wait... that dinosaur... it's so cute.
