Some people dream of dominating the whole country, while others dominate the whole country in reality.

"Tetris" can be said to be the first time in Wanhu's history that a three-platform linkage game was launched. The arcade version of "Tetris" has just been released. The already produced red and white version of "Tetris" has been sent to the Nintendo headquarters in Kyoto.

Nintendo, which is still improving the system, recently launched a new commercial law. It is that game reviews require fees, and each charge is not understood according to the type of game, ranging from millions of yen to tens of millions of yen.

Nintendo also made it clear that the reason for the charge is that there are too many games recently, and you have to charge money to maintain the operation of Mario Club, otherwise the review speed of the game will be greatly slowed down. No one wants to see such a situation, right?

No matter how many times they cursed Nintendo and Yamauchi’s old thief, the game manufacturers still paid for it obediently. There is no way, who made the Red and White Machine the most in-house platform in the home machine market now?

The platform starts with price. Manufacturers like Namco that cannot stand Nintendo's domineering style can only secretly join forces with other manufacturers to develop a new console. Before that, they all have to follow Nintendo.

Arcade manufacturers such as Namco and Taidong are different from Nintendo, that is, their technical accumulation is much stronger than Nintendo.

Nintendo has been outsourcing the hardware level since its first arcade and first home machine. The engineering students of Yokoi Yokoi and Masayuki Uemura, etc., are more about industrial design and ergonomics.

They proposed what the machine should look like, and the outsourcing company is responsible for making actual products. What ideas are fantasy, what can be put into real things, and what are not suitable for industrial production and need to be abandoned. This is the second thing that Yokoi Junhei and Masayuki Uemura - communication and coordination.

It’s not that Nintendo doesn’t want to stay up to date and best in hardware, they also know that consumers always like the most advanced electronics.

Otherwise, there is already a Casio calculator with normal functions and can perform complex calculations. Why buy a Sharp calculator with solar panels that can run without batteries?

However, Nintendo cannot do it. Their current size and their technical strength do not allow them to design the best hardware.

Even if it is designed, production is a big problem.

Apart from its own factory, Nintendo has no factory to produce physical products. Nintendo, which uses all OEM factories, cannot manage the supply chain and production chain like other manufacturers, so as to be at ease.

Therefore, Nintendo chose to use backward hardware to provide users with the best service.

Although the hardware functions are limited, gaming consoles made with people-oriented and based on this idea have always been very popular since gaming watches.

Low price, fun and good experience.

This is the product feature of Nintendo and it is also Nintendo's moat.

Others want to imitate Nintendo's Cross Key, but Nintendo infringes on patents. Therefore, at this stage, the best way to use the Cross Key, can only be used by Nintendo. If others want to use it, wait for the patent expires for twenty years.

Although the new system says that those who pay money will be reviewed, the review will still have to be paid for the review again.

However, it does not mean that you can enjoy the fastest review as long as you pay.

In fact, except for Hudson, Namco, Taidong, and Korami, these giants, only tens of thousands of households can enjoy priority review rights.

It’s not that ten thousand households have more money to influence Nintendo, but that ten thousand households make games, which is more in line with Nintendo’s game design ideas.

No matter how well you walk, it is not considered a skill. However, if you walk a path that others have never walked, you walk quite beautifully, that is an enviable ability.

The game works in the Wanhu arcade era before were full of creativity and did not do before. The first game "Endless Fantasy" that joined the Red and White Machine camp was also the role-playing type that appeared in the first role-playing market in the Japanese market.

The first sales volume is as high as 500,000 sets, although the largest third-party companies have red and white game sales of over one million.

However, there is really no new work like "Endless Fantasy" with such a strong sustainable development.

The first game of "Gold Digger" can sell millions, which is the right time, place and people. Today's players are no longer the same as before, and there are countless games they have seen.

After Hudson used the Gold Digger Championship to make money, he stopped developing the sequel. It was not because they found it with conscience, but because there was no room for the orthodox sequel to the second Gold Digger in the market.

The same is true for Namco's "Pac-Man" and Taidong's "Space Invaders". However, from "Space Invaders", Namco inherited and developed the king of "Iron Plate Array" that vertical scroll shooting, and transplanted it to red and white aircraft, which had sales exceed one million.

Therefore, the situation is much better than the other two competitors.

Konami is just as an old senior, and has a good position on the Red and White Machine. As for the games that are really best-selling on the Red and White Machine, they really don’t have them.

The only game that is popular on the home console platform is "Metal Equipment" on the MX platform that accidentally inserts willows and becomes a shade of willows.

But the infiltrating gameplay is completely impossible to transplant to the red and white machine.

They are now trying to port several popular shooting games on the arcade to the red and white machine. However, it is still unknown whether they can achieve good results on the red and white machine, which is full of dark elements.

As the father of Mario, Shigeru Miyamoto is one of the reviewers of Mario Club for the review of Tetris this time.

Around him was another young man. This young man had a lot of experience in game design and was one of Miyamoto's right-hand assistants.

As Miyamoto Shigeru's record lieutenant, he watched Miyamoto play Tetris, and suddenly had a brand new game configuration in his mind.

All the tiles in the game "Tetris" are composed of four small pieces, whether they are the four parallel lines of "i", the four "fields" stacked into squares, the "t" protruding one piece, or the "l" in two directions.

He saw Miyamoto Shigeru put down the handle and said, "Minister, I have a new game idea."

"Oh? Tell me?"

After he finished speaking his thoughts, Miyamoto thought for a while and said, "No problem, this idea is good, it's time for you to make a game. Well... Although it's difficult to apply, I want to add Mario elements, so it's easy to apply. This game is called "Doctor Mary". What do you think?"

"Thank you, Minister!" The young man was extremely grateful for the support of the minister who was no older than him and was no more than two years older than him.

It is the "Donkey Kong" series spin-off game "Mario" series, and there is another derivative work. A huge Mario game family is taking shape without realizing it.

The emergence of Tetris has made many gamers thrilling creativity.
