Classic games

Give everyone an appetizer, did you think of anything?

Nintendo and The Fighter Family Computer

Classic color scheme, classic handles and the same classic cassette. That's right, it's called "Little Overlord Learning Machine." A joke, it is Nintendo's first generation of home consoles launched in July 1983, Family Computer, also known as FC or Red and White machines.

Simple list of hardware, CPU: 1.8MHz 8bit Ricoh 6502, RAM: 2K, total hair color number: 52 (number of hair color when the same screen is less than 13), audio: PSG audio source, 4 analog channels and 1 digital channel , cassette capacity: 512KB.

In terms of accessories, Nintendo is very kind. I know there are more than a dozen (of course I don't know): FanmilyBasic keyboard, Oekakids tablet, SpaceShadow light gun, charge light gun, brick controller, dance mat, even rare Responders, karaoke, motorcycle controllers, stair climbing controllers, running controllers, credit card machines, and music keyboards are all available.

Game products

Of course, these are all floating clouds, and everyone's initial impression of this machine should still be the phrase “Aha! Little bully is always happy”. Although due to the weak concept of intellectual property rights, the series of learning machines launched by the Little Overlord are actually the products of infringement of intellectual property rights. However, the popularity of FC in China is also inseparable from the Little Overlord learning machine.

In July 1983, after the release of FC in Japan, it caused quite a stir. Two years later, the NES that entered the North American market was sold again. (The full name of Nintendo Entertainment System, a derivative version of FC, has a difference in appearance, and FC game cartridges.) Is the most common "yellow card", NES is a long cassette, like inserting a computer floppy disk from the front of the machine into the game card, rarely seen in the country), and more laid the dominance of Nintendo's home consoles, starting several games Both have won players' praise and are still talked about by game fans.

When it comes to red-and-white machines, how can one ignore the one-in-a-half Mario who wears a hat, wears a suspender suit, holds two beards, and grows mushrooms? Together with his twin brother Luigi, Nintendo served as Nintendo’s longest standing signing role. Of course, the evil King Kupa, the formidable enemy of Mario, and the continuous abduction of Princess Peach, have also been defeated by Mario. It can also be said that King Cooper made Mario a hero.

September 13, 2015, is a special day for Mario fans around the world, because 30 years ago today, Mario was born, the game's most successful game brand (no one), the hottest Sales game series (also no one), the most well-known game character (still no one). There may be many games that are equally classic, but they will not go beyond such a legend.

Mario theme games have been released in countless versions. The author has counted how many of them are in the end, so pick up a few representative works.

With the advent of FC, besides the premieres of "Diamond" and "King Kong.", another heavyweight game is "Super Mario Bros.". This "Super Mario Bros." has great significance for Nintendo, first of all it laid the image, career and many details of Mario's later games, including his twin brother Luigi; followed by "Super Mario Bros." The first works in the name of Mario, and is the first work on FC to truly support two simultaneous games.

In the same year that the mixed Super Mario Bros. 2 hit North America, the new Super Mario Bros. 3 was released in Japan, and the game was released in North America in 1990. Although "Super Mario Bros. 3" is still a heritage of 2 generations in many aspects. For example, eating a flame flower can spur fire and mushrooms can grow. However, Nintendo has given "Super Mario Bros. 3" more fun.

If you use civet cats, Mario will have two ears and a big tail civet cat. Players can manipulate it to fly in the sky after sprinting for a while; frog outfits can make Mario into a frog and change at the level where swimming is needed. It's easier; hammers allow the player to throw a hammer to attack the opponent, and hiding the fox cat's outfit allows Mario to preserve the raccoon outfit's ability to become a stone statue with an invincible form.

"Super Mario Bros. 3" is also the first time to join the large map selection, and has been used in all Mario works so far. The success of Super Mario Bros. 3 is undoubtedly huge. It has also become the highest-selling game in FC history, and Nintendo’s own brand value has reached a new peak.

At the time of the SFC sale, Mario's peripherals also reached a level of enthusiasm. T-shirts, pillows, comics, hands, and other imaginable things became hot products. This success also made Nintendo in the "Super Mario." "Olympic World" continues to advance along the path of evolution and innovation, giving "Super Mario World" more surprises. In addition to flame flowers and mushrooms, this time Mario can also be transformed into a cloak of warriors flying in the air.

The most important thing is that "Super Mario World" brings a brand new character to Yoshi. It is a cute little green dinosaur that can be ride by Mario. Using Yoshi's ability, Mario can use different ways and games to have novel interactions. For example, Yoshi's long tongue can easily eat the king of Kupa, and even can have new skills after eating a specific enemy.

"Super Mario World" follows the "Super Mario Bros. 3" large map system, but this time not only can be archived in large maps, but also can find many hidden elements. This kind of setting encourages players to repeatedly find hidden outlets in the same level, so as to get special items or open new levels, which makes the game itself more diversified elements in addition to excellent qualities, more playful and more interesting.

The emergence of "Super Mario World" can be said to be crucial, because that era is no longer the Nintendo family, Sega began to challenge the dominance of Nintendo. Not only Sonic, SEGA MASTER SYSTEM also has excellent performance and excellent works. If Nintendo does not show stronger strength, then the overlord's throne is likely to be stolen by Sega. Fortunately, the success of SFC made Nintendo firmly occupy this position.

After the great success of Super Mario World, Nintendo began to think about the next work, and finally decided to expand the protagonist of Yoshi who is loved by the player. The eye-catching performance of Yoshi gives players a lot of love for it, so Nintendo set out to create a new series for this character.

In 1995, "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island" was born! Surprisingly, Mario's gameplay was completely subverted, and Mario was no longer the protagonist. Instead, the player had to manipulate Yoshi to rescue the baby Mario and the baby Luigi from the baby Kubba.

The release of "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island" is far more than just creating a peripheral artwork for the Mario series. This game proves that Nintendo has reached an incredible point in the exploitation of a trademark. The Mario series has never stood still, but has been changing and innovating.

In 1996, Nintendo 64 was released, a huge hardware upgrade brought new gameplay to the game, abandoned the traditional 2D scroll style, and Nintendo started making a revolutionary work. Eventually Mario 64 was born.

The title of the game is not played according to common sense, and so is the game itself. Saying goodbye to traditional 2D graphics, Mario 64 shows players more realistic and vivid 3D game concepts. Since then, Mario is no longer limited to the plane, the new 3D modeling also makes him alive, players can appreciate each role in the game from different perspectives.

Nintendo’s first attempt at 3D games has had a huge impact on the industry. Some of the designs that were never seen have shocked Sega at that time. Nintendo 64's C joystick shows the world how to solve the problem of perspective in the whole 3D world. Even today, most 3D games still use a similar C rocker design, which shows how far Nanden’s decision is.

There is something special. Although it's not a big deal in the industry, it's worth keeping a record for Mario. In Mario 64, Mario has his own voice actor Charles.

Martine, the uncle is still playing for Mario. The addition of seiyuu makes Mario more complete and gives players a chance to discover more of Mario's charisma.

The "New Super Mario Bros." is the first time that the Mario series has been debuted on the NDS console. The quality is not as high as usual. Newly joined are Luigi, Valio and Yoshi. Each character has its own character. Different transformations. It wasn’t Mario at first, but Yoshi. It needed to use Yoshi to save Mario. Mario also had to shoulder the task of saving Luigi. He also had to shoulder the responsibility of saving Wario... Anyway, the author loves death. This design.

The origin of Super Mario Galaxy production originated from demo DEMO of Super Mario 128 in 2000. Nintendo always wanted to make the DEMO of Super Mario 128 into an actual game, but in the end it was a technical limitation that was not achieved. . The scene in the demo at the time was similar to a dish-like platform. This was also to allow Mario to move smoothly and freely, but the technology at that time could not implement this idea perfectly.

"Super Mario Galaxy" once again defines to the industry "What is the most perfect 3D gaming experience". The Wii's new features add some new and exciting operations to Super Mario Galaxy, but even if you set aside these, the clever design of Super Mario Galaxy is still the benchmark of the game industry.

After the release of Super Mario Galaxy, many media and players believed that this was the orthodox sequel to Mario 64, and the release of Super Mario Galaxy 2 in 2010 also brought Yoshi and more. Turning props, of course, this generation of level design is undoubtedly the best in the industry.

In addition to being an orthodox action game, Mario's "sideline business" is almost always related to sports. From golf, racing, tennis, to the omnipotent sports games of the Decathlon, there is nothing that Mario won't be able to do. Derived works of Mario's name are also an important part of the Mario series, and they are not even inferior to their own.

We can't list them one by one, so I chose a piece that represents the Mario Sports series - "Mario Carriage". It is reasonable to say that from games to cartoons, popular characters are not new to the guest racing game, the Cryogenic Wolf has done, Simpson The family did it, but Mario did a good job.

From 1992 SFC "Super Mario Kart" crazy sales of 8.7 million copies, this series of sales are almost all monster level, easy to smash numerous orthodox racing games, even higher than the popularity. The Mario Kart series is the only "masterpiece" on Nintendo's every generation console.

As of this writing, the counting of the Mario series is coming to an end. Summarizing this: The FC era "Super Mario Bros. 3" pioneered the concept of a large map and also expanded the Mario world into an overall arena; the SFC era "Super Mario World" was Yoshi's first appearance in the game. The Nintendo 64 era "Super Mario 64" is the first time that Mario has ushered in 3D and become the pioneer of 3D action games; the NDS era "New Super Mario Bros." is the first time that the Mario series has been debuted on the handheld. For the Wii era, "Super Mario Galaxy" is a magnificent imagination and a new operation, becoming the highest score of a Mario series.
