Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Hayakawa Ueto even prepared more than three recording devices to prevent any recording accidents and ensure that every frame of this live broadcast could be accurately recorded so that they could study it properly in the future.

Meanwhile, they were also wildly speculating about what games Yuxing Electronic Entertainment would release.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment actually has very strong confidentiality capabilities.

News about new game consoles, for example, is inevitably leaked due to the supply chain channels.

However, video game development can basically guarantee absolute secrecy.

Unless the developers intentionally leak the information, which is unlikely to happen at Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

They have a strong sense of belonging to the company, and even if someone tries to bribe them, they can't get them to talk.

Based on current information, the new game console will likely launch with Super Mario.

Whenever he thought of Super Mario, the guy who was then the deputy head of Suri's video game division would get a toothache.

Back then, he was the head of the video game division, full of confidence and eager to make a name for himself in the department and showcase the industrial strength of Surui Electronics.

Then, they were so badly beaten by a single game that they couldn't even take care of themselves, and their own game console sales plummeted by half the following week.

That game of theirs is truly a game-changer.

Later, he also took some time to play some games on the Famicom and compared them with his own games. He finally realized that his own games were really trash and finally admitted how much of a failure his previous strategy had been.

He no longer complained about the newly appointed managers and obediently served as their assistants.

Putting aside everything else, this newly appointed high-ranking official is certainly very capable.

They managed to gradually reduce their own disadvantages and began to show signs of catching up.

Chapter 130 Face-to-face meeting

The Direct meeting officially began amidst pleasant music.

The opening scene features a pure white background, against which a water pipe suddenly emerges from the middle.

Then, against the white background, Mario looked around blankly, seemingly having no idea where he was.

At this moment, players who have played Super Mario will subconsciously smile knowingly.

Because the pipes are the way to the unknown world, Mario has clearly come to a place he has never been before.

Immediately afterwards, Mario seemed to find something in the air, and a happy look appeared on his face. Then he leaped high into the air and popped something out of thin air.

Once Mario returned to the ground, the object he had pushed out fell into his hands.

This is a gift box with a question mark on it.

However, it seemed to be locked and required a key. Mario tried his best to open it, but couldn't find any way to do so.

Just then, several bullets suddenly flew out from the pure white background wall, startling Mario, who quickly grabbed the treasure box and dodged the bullets.

Soon, a muscular man carrying a machine gun burst through the white curtain and entered this white world.

That's the blue warrior from Contra. He has a name, Lance, but almost no one in the game will remember him.

Lance, who arrived here, looked just as bewildered as Mario had earlier. Then, noticing Mario and the treasure box, he came over to help open it.

Compared to Mario, Lance was clearly more irritable; he wanted to just raise his gun and blow the treasure box up.

Mario quickly stopped Lance, preventing his destructive behavior.

Then, the white background was shattered again by several sword flashes, and Link, the adventurer from The Legend of Zelda, rushed in, holding a longsword in one hand and pulling Princess Zelda with the other.

Upon entering, he was bewildered, then saw the treasure box and curiously approached, intending to smash it with his sword, but was stopped by Lance and Mario.

Then one by one, familiar game characters appeared, and more and more of them appeared.

Samus, looking dashing with his helmet off; Lotte, the ancestor of the heroes in Dragon Quest; Pac-Man; baseball elites from the Super Baseball League; miniature tanks from Tank Battle...

All the first-party game characters from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment made an appearance, creating a grand gathering of characters that brought a sense of inexplicable joy to all the players watching.

Suddenly, they thought it would be interesting if these characters could do something together.

However, despite their best efforts, these characters were still unable to open the treasure box.

While these characters were still struggling with how to open the treasure box, a figure slowly emerged from the pipe that had first appeared.

This is a real person, a young man wearing Mario's red hat.

He smiled as he rose from the pipe into the white world.

The young man's appearance immediately attracted the attention of all the game characters.

The young man who appeared was Zhu Youxing. Players were not particularly familiar with Zhu Youxing because he had not appeared in public much in the past.

At this moment, he was wearing Mario's red hat and Mario's costume, and gradually walked in front of the crowd.

Under the watchful eyes of these characters, Zhu Youxing took out a key that shone like a diamond from his pocket and slowly inserted it into the treasure box.

With a click, the treasure box was opened, and the characters immediately craned their necks to look inside.

Inside, a bright flash illuminated the faces of all the characters, making them shimmer with gold.

The golden light slowly rose, and under its dazzling light, all the characters, including Zhu Youxing, gradually faded away, leaving only the golden light in the end.

After the golden light gradually dimmed, a machine was finally presented to all the television viewers.

It was a gray-white, square device, and the players got excited.

New game console!

After a few seconds of silence, the game console on the TV began to shake violently, as if some kind of monstrous beast was lurking within it.

Then, the cover on the machine quickly popped open, and one by one, brand-new game characters appeared.

Those are the characters with better visuals.

The game characters, which were previously just pixel art, have been completely transformed, as if they have been given a new life.

A brand new Super Mario, a more authentic Super Mario, a new hero Lot, a new Link... and the beautiful Princess Zelda!

By this time, many children already considered Princess Zelda their dream girl.

It seems that their romantic feelings are also beginning to blossom.

No wonder Link went to such lengths to save them. If I were Link, I would have done the same!

All the characters have been completely transformed, and they seem quite pleased with their new look.

Then the scene gradually faded out, and Zhu Youxing slowly walked out from the side and came to the center of the screen.

"Dear players, I am Zhu Youxing, welcome to the new world."

Zhu Youxing raised his hand, and a series of dazzling 16-digit fireworks burst forth.

Several game companies watching the live stream were somewhat taken aback.

The game console has been announced just like that?

That was so sudden.

Logically speaking, if it were a press conference, there would definitely be some background information at the beginning, right?

This is a bombshell right from the start, so what are you planning to show next? Is your Stream only going to last a few minutes?

On the television screen, Zhu Youxing gently withdrew her hand, the fireworks stopped, and the dazzling scene instantly came to an abrupt halt.

He then looked back at the camera with a smile: "Here, I would like to thank all the players for their love and support."

"Without your support, we wouldn't have been able to persevere until now, nor would we have been able to bring you such a rich and colorful game world. Therefore, players are the unsung heroes who created this game world. To thank you all, our company, Youxing Electronics Entertainment, is officially releasing the next generation of home entertainment computers: SFC, SuperFC. This machine will have better performance, better music, and... a brand new interactive mode. Everything is brand new."

Zhu Youxing walked slowly to one side, and the camera followed him to a display stand where the latest SFC was displayed.

"I don't want to go into a lot of complicated data. I just want players to understand our game console more intuitively. So, please follow me into the world of the game."

Zhu Youxing walked to the display stand, picked up the controller, and pressed the START button. A special effect that looked like traveling through a time tunnel appeared, and the camera followed into darkness.

No more nonsense, let's get straight to the point and show you the gaming feast we've prepared for you. It's much more intuitive than going over any game console performance data.

Chapter 131 Super Mario World

As Zhu Youxing's figure gradually fades from the screen, the previously revamped characters reappear.

They were all very happy with their new image.

Then, one spatial passage after another opened, and on the other side of each passage lay their respective worlds.

Mario runs to his own portal, then turns back to wave goodbye to the other characters before leaping into the portal, and the camera follows him into Mario's world.

The somewhat monotonous visuals of Super Mario have been transformed.

The clouds are dynamic, the colors in the game world have become richer, and most importantly, the music sounds more realistic than in the 8-bit era.

"A brand new Mario world! A world from 16-bit is beckoning you."

In this world, Mario once again embarks on a journey to defeat Bowser and rescue the princess.

The monsters and scenery along the way this time were a significant improvement over the previous ones.

All of this is thanks to the SFC's richer and more vibrant color reproduction.

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

Super Mario fans in front of their TVs were so excited they were practically trembling – this was the game console they'd always 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 now higher definition and more vibrant.

But it clearly makes you want to play it again.

The Mario scene ends, the camera returns to the previous pure white world, and then focuses on Lance from Contra.

Lance also made a farewell gesture before returning to his own Contra world.

In the Contra world, the graphics were already quite good, but now they've been improved again, making Lance look even more realistic.

Next up are The Legend of Zelda, Dragon Quest...

After reviewing each game with newly optimized graphics, the final paragraph of text was presented to the players.

"All first-party games on the Famicom will be presented to players with improved graphics. Players who already own these games can upgrade by adding 500 yen to their cartridges. (The upgraded games are only available on the newer Super Famicom.)"
