Chapter Thirty-Eight Congratulations
Just like the butcher cuts a cow, in Kutaraki Ken's opinion, the red and white machines are also parts.
The condition of the red and white machine just now was absolutely abnormal, but what is the reason for this abnormality is worth studying.
The so-called publicity is a gimmick, which is to attract attention. Although a program error that is very easy to trigger will destroy a game and the company. However, such a game with very few probability of triggering is even a publicity point that can become a legend in the city.
Insert "Baseball" first, then pull it out hot, then insert "Super Mario Bros.", and then press the reset button.
Enter the game...
The error reappears!
This is not a probabilistic error, but an error that will inevitably occur as long as you follow this process.
But... what is the principle of this error? Ken Kutaraki fell into deep thought.
Red and white machines do not support hot plugging. Although programs solidified in memory cannot be burned, it will cause the content of the previous cassette to affect the next cassette.
The 256-bit addressing supported by the red and white machine means that without special means, the red and white machine can only have up to 256 levels.
Just so happens, "Baseball" is a game produced by Nintendo's first party, with up to 256 games.
"Super Mario Bros." has a total of eight major levels, each major level has four minor levels, and a total of thirty-two levels.
The number of levels is artificially limited, which means that some kind of accident can completely break through this limited. Now this artificial limit has been broken by his own good son.
Something interesting...
Ken Kutaraki thought, touching his chin.
"Dad, it's time for dinner!" shouted the cute wife.
"I understand." When Ken Kutaraki picked up his son to the restaurant, he kept thinking about how to use this mistake to do something.
Well... there is...
Ken Kutaraki suddenly put down the bowls and chopsticks, which scared his son and mother, "You guys keep eating, I'll go call."
Ken Kutaraki walked to the phone and called his boss.
The most commendable thing about Sony, a company that specializes in producing "black technology" products is not that they invented the rice cooker, but that they will use modern naval forces.
How to ask people to choose your products and devote their faith to the logo on your products when the quality is the same, the quality is similar, and the functions are the same, and then the strength of the navy is tested.
Of course, it’s still the same old saying that publicity must be strong on its own. If there is no truly qualified product just for publicity, then this is not a serious company, but a (harmonious) sale.
The word "transmit" (harmonious) sales probably also means promoting sales.
"Well! I think this is a very necessary experiment! Yes! Yes!" Ken Kutaraki held the phone in one hand, bowed and bowed, respectfully facing his boss at the air.
After hanging up the phone, Ken Kutaraki saw his son coming to play with him after dinner. He smiled and said to his son, "Baby, how about telling his friends about the hidden level of Mario?"
"Okay, okay." Kokutaraki's eyes were big and round, black and savorous and very pure.

"Do you know Mario's hidden level? I heard that there are more than eight big hurdles, but there are still many big hurdles!"
"have no idea……"
...
"Have you heard of the hidden levels of Super Mario Bros?"
"Tsk! Who doesn't know! Isn't that the world? You read it clearly in the magazine!" said a primary school student, who opened a magazine that was as thick as bread that had been circulated in the class.
The name of this magazine is "Strategy" and it is said to be this name, but in fact, this magazine likes to make up some game secrets based on some information about catching wind and shadows.
People always yearn for the unknown, even though they know nonsense. Therefore, this non-Wanhu game magazine actually opened up in a short time and gained a foothold. Although it could not challenge the kingly status of "Player Heart". However, it has also achieved its strongest state in the subdivided fields.
Takahashi is extremely concerned about media information on the market, and even more concerned about improving the production technology of his own game.
Ten thousand households are not just a stubborn enterprise, with technology-oriented, pursuing the most advanced technology, and being the primary goal.
Takahashi's Ersru knew very well that in the current environment, the technology that consumers do not need is technology that they do not have. The needs that consumers do not show are needs that they can ignore.
This is the experience summarized by Takahashi according to local conditions and the times. Of course, he knows how big the market for smartphones is and how good the prospects are. However, at this level of technology, there is no way to make a smartphone that can be used.
Takahashi always reminds himself not to make mistakes that he takes for granted and to constantly correct his plans based on the actual situation.
For example, readers' threshold for game secrets and urban legends has increased. Targeted secrets like "Player Heart" often have a timeliness lag behind the speed of word-of-mouth transmission. At this time, it is necessary to break through the "lower limit" and have more illusory game rumors.
"Strategy" took advantage of this time and completely grasped this market.
The Electronic Game Communication Foundation, established by Takahashi through complex means, has recently founded a game magazine, with the name "Game Pass".
The main task of this magazine Takahashi is to rate all the electronic games on the market. In the eyes of players and manufacturers, I will create a "fair, objective, and third party" that I believe, regardless of whether you believe it or not.
This is more neutral than Takahashi's subjective game comments on "Player Heart". After several issues were released, it even became a weather vane for players to play games.
Games with high ratings on "Game Pass" will definitely be very popular in reality. Although some people really like games with low ratings, they are best to be a second-tier work.
For the sake of their own works, the games made for the Red and White Machines will not only be submitted for Nintendo before they are released, but also for "Game Pass". The arcade manufacturers also started media trial activities in detail.
Although subjectively, this is not a product of good intentions, objectively speaking, it really plays a role in improving the quality of the game and helping players spend less money.
It's a happy congratulation, it's a happy congratulation.
Chapter completed!
