This element is the sense of speed that Miyamoto has always wanted to pursue, and the sense of speed that he wants can be displayed in VrBoy from the first perspective, and the stimulating feeling is even more obvious.

Because VrBoy doesn't have a good way to play multiplayer games now, unless multiple VrBoys are connected together.

So in addition to creating the online multiplayer mode of Mario Kart, Miyamoto also created a brand new mode, which he named the mode Racing mode.

In this mode, he added a brand new drift system.

However, this drift system is different from the drift system in a realistic racing game. After drifting, it can sprint forward for a short distance.

In addition, drifting can also accumulate a skill slot. Once the skill slot is full, an acceleration skill can be released.

And this acceleration skill has become the core of the racing mode.

That is, the transition from props to racing has been completed.

It can be said that the fun gained by two modes of a game is completely different.

This brand new racing mode can be like other racing games, pursuing lap times.

You should know that although the previous "Mario Kart" had the function of recording lap times since the first generation, lap times were of little significance, and there was no way to hold even the competition. It could only hold that kind of entertainment competition, not professional competitions.

The one on VrBoy is different. Even while Shigeru Miyamoto was still making games, he wrote a plan to hold a competition.

Holding a competition can promote sales is the first thing Takahashi started in Japan back then.

And now, Nintendo can also use this technique very well.

Even Nintendo has a special event organization, which is responsible for hosting various competitions.

Compared with the grass-roots team established by Takahashi back then, I don’t know how much it is.

Of course, the advantage of formality is that the cost of holding competitions has been greatly reduced.

Even if you can compete through retail outlets, you can choose.

However, the disadvantages are also obvious.

It is the formality that makes players separate from the organizers of the event.

The fact that Takahashi relied on selling personal charm and revitalizing a game will basically not happen again.

Shigeru Miyamoto is not so dedicated to every project. The reason why he is so dedicated is because he is so dedicated to help Junhei Yokoi.

Why to help Junpei Yokoi?

The reason is very simple. When he just entered Nintendo as a relationship owner, Junhei Yokoi helped him get the opportunity to produce "Donnie Chan".

As a firefighter, he immediately achieved excellent results when he took charge of his work for the first time.

And this achievement also allowed him to embark on a glorious path in the future.

It can be said that Shigeru Miyamoto felt that he was both a teacher and a friend of Yokoi.

In fact, this is not to say that Yokoi Kotohiro prefers Miyamoto Shigeru, but that he will do this to anyone with talent around him.

It is precisely because of this that Yokoi Junhei has always had a high reputation in the society.

Although everyone doesn't agree with the VrBoy project, it has not been too obstructed, and it is also because of this reason.

Those who attain enlightenment will have many help.

Yokoi Junhei is such a person who always helps people when doing things.

Having collected five first masterpieces, VrBoy was finally released in Japan in the fall of 1996.

Release at such a time is not a good decision.

Because the students are all in school.

However, Yokoi Junhei decided to release it at this time, in order to make the best use of the goods before the New Year and to sell this machine when the children get New Year's money.

Although VrBoy is a high-tech machine, its price is not high, only 39,999 yen.

This price is actually very high for handheld consoles, but if you look at it as a home game console, the price is only the standard price of this generation.

Of course, such a low price still shrinks.

However, when it comes to shrinking, Nintendo said it was second in the industry, but no one dared to say it was first in the industry.

Nintendo's product positioning is always at a level that ordinary people can afford to consume.

VrBoy is available at this price. If you include the profit sharing between retail and channel, it can be said that it will be a loss.

However, Nintendo has the confidence to lose money. As long as the sales exceed one million, it can start to turn losses into profits.

The more sales volume, the more likely it is to make a profit from hardware, and the more likely it is to make money through software.

If you want to talk about which manufacturer knows the hardware release of the electronic game industry best, it is Nintendo.

Although VrBoy is released, it is not a good time.

However, on the first day, all the stores in Japan were basically out of stock.

Of course, there are the contributions of scalpers in it.

However, even if there are scalpers, this product makes scalpers feel profitable, so they will be scalpers.

Although Nintendo's games are focused on children, it sounds good that they are all ages.

However, there are still many adults who like Nintendo.

The first batch of VrBoy buyers are basically adults.

These people trust Nintendo. As long as Nintendo comes out, they will buy it, whether it is new hardware or games.

Although they have been tricked by the peripherals of the game console more than once, Nintendo has always been very reliable on the console.

They just took the VrBoy game console and got it home and thought they had bought it right.

This is a good gaming console!

Whether it is Mario Tennis or Mario Kart, the first game has brought them the pleasure of playing games that they have not seen for a long time.

You should know that the more video games are launched, the more routines there will be.

Although these routines have made game makers more easily make games, players are gradually getting bored.

Of course, new players don’t feel it, but old players can feel it.

However, a unique hardware like VrBoy has created a unique game.

Basically, the first batch of core players gave very excellent reviews to this machine.

These comments, summarized in magazines, begin to brainwash ordinary players.

Even at this time, many players felt that Nintendo was the master of the world.

During this period, Nintendo, which was listed on the Osaka Stock Exchange, also increased its share price by 30%.

It can be said that Yokoi Kohei's persistence has achieved success again, and Hiroshi Yamauchi's support also shows that as the president, Hiroshi Yamauchi's vision is indeed very unique.
