Chapter 61 Depth Charge
When "Super Mario Bros." was just released, no one seemed to pay attention to this game except Takahashi.
This is not to say that this game is not good, but because Nintendo has launched too many "Mario" games.
From "Donkey Kong" to "Mario Brothers", this uncle, who was originally called "jump-man jump man", was fixed in Italy and his hometown was called Mario.
Several games with Mario as the main character have been released, which has numbed most game practitioners.
They basically thought that the game "Super Mario Bros." was no different from the previous Mario.
It still shows all the content on a single screen, as usual, it is a money-scammer.
Under such inertia of thinking, the game "Super Mario Bros." is like a deep water bomb thrown into the calm lake.
At the beginning, there was no turmoil, and when it exploded, the huge waves caused were no longer stopped by anyone.
Even Hudson, who owns Takahashi, is still like this. He has not avoided the gushing splashes and has made every effort to prepare, and has only been unable to be drowned.
"The game collection activity for "Gold Digger" has begun! I hope all the children will participate actively! Now buy a magazine, fill in the cards attached to it, and mail it to Hudson. The next "Gold Digger" may have the levels you made!"
Takahashi said on TV in a nearly abductive tone.
The activity he initiated was unobstructed and without any obstacles. Because it is a perfect multilateral business win-win event.
Even this event in the future has become an important case for the rb game industry to study game promotion and promotion.
While increasing the attention of the game "Gold Digger", players also prompted them to buy magazines in primary school halls. Because they didn't buy it, they would not be able to mail the levels. TV stations can also attract more attention and earn more ratings through this event.
In addition, this activity is not a single action, but a series of activities with smooth connections.
Collecting game design drawings is just the first step. The second part is to select design drawings, and you can even conduct special interviews for these selected authors. After all fifty game maps are selected, another "Tournament Edition of Gold Digger" will be launched.
For all participants, this "Gold Digger" has a strong sense of participation, regardless of whether the map has been selected or not.
This is also the superiority of content created by ugc users.
In this era, Akimoto Yasuhiro planned and the very famous Sunset Meow Meow Kitten Team Planning also focused on a model that paid great attention to user participation.
Because everyone has audience votes, they can have very high popularity before their debut.
Think about the "Super Girl" that became popular in China, and you can experience the superiority of this model.
Of course, Akimoto Yasushi was dormant for many years after the collapse of the Kitten Team, and later he used the xx48 girl group model to crush the RB entertainment industry again.
Although Takahashi doesn’t like those girls who look neither beautiful nor cute, he still partially agrees with this business model.
The 48th Group can be regarded as a real-life cultivation game. In a small underground cafe, dozens of girls work hard to perform every day.
Those who occasionally see these girls slowly support them and watch them become celebrities. The sense of participation and satisfaction in this is so exciting that they can break through the sky!
Even if you think about Takahashi's fame model, it is similar to the 48 model to a certain extent.
If the person who held the 48th regiment was the Heisei otaku, then the person who held Takahashi was the Showashi. Of course, there were also little loli supporting Takahashi.
Anyone has unimaginable persistence for things that are devoted to emotions.
After Takahashi is on TV, the viewership of Good Morning Studio can increase by 50% in just one week.
It’s not how good he performed in front of TV, but the fame he accumulated in magazines in Akihabara. The popularity he accumulated is, on the one hand, because of his diligence and on the other hand, because of the blankness of his gaming idol.
Can a gangster who plays games well in the arcade hall be considered a game idol? Of course not.
Whether parents play games or not, in the eyes of parents, it is wrong for children to play games.
All Takahashi has done so far is to make the name of video games. A decent game idol, a game idol that can even help children get rid of the bad habit of sleeping in during the holidays.
In addition, the games he endorses can be played at home, avoiding the smoky arcade hall, which is normal for parents to accept.
This is also one of the reasons why "Gold Digger" can achieve sales of more than 800,000.
The money Hudson earns is not the pocket money that young players save money. A large part of it is spent by parents willingly.
However, there are not many game companies that see this.
In a relatively extensive market today, many companies only think that the core gameplay of "Gold Digger" is popular.
According to the current moral integrity of game companies, similar imitations have quickly become on their production schedule.
If you can sell 800,000 cassettes, I won’t lose if I can sell 80,000.
Of course, they can't get to the Red and White Machines, and they have a variety of platforms. Taking advantage of this hot wind, two other Japanese manufacturers who have obtained the authorization of "Gold Digger" also began to strongly recommend their own version of the Gold Digger.
I won’t talk about Sony’s arcade version for now. Although “Gold Digger” on the Sega SG1000 console is far from the red and white version of “Gold Digger”.
However, many parents just bought it with their names, but they also achieved small results against the backdrop of a sales of 800,000 yuan.
However, the pleasure was only temporary. After buying it, the children found that this was not Takahashi's "Gold Digger", and they cried and made a fuss. Some parents just had a meal, while others bought the children a Takahashi version of "Gold Digger".
No matter these two types, the child's hearts, he left a bad impression on Sega. This laid a reason for the poor sales of Shijia in Japan.
"Teacher Takahashi, are you leaving?" the entertainment girl asked respectfully.
"Yes." Takahashi nodded.
Compared with the popular female creatures, the average level of female creatures in the entertainment industry is much higher.
However, I don’t know why. Takahashi thinks that most Japanese women, including so-called celebrity idols, really don’t have many people to watch.
