[The King is Coming! Hudson's version of "Gold Digger" is expected to sell millions!]

News reports have changed from contempt to flattery, just like news during the restoration of Napoleon.

The first news is, "The monster from Corsica lands in Port Ru'an."

The second news is, "The man-cannibal devil is approaching Gres."

The third news, "The despicable and shameless thief of the country entered Gerrenoble."

The fourth news, "Napoleon Bonaparte occupied Lyon."

The fifth news, "General Napoleon approaches Fontainebleau."

The sixth news, "His Majesty the Supreme Emperor arrived at his faithful Paris today

Under the interaction of various forces, the sales of "Gold Digger" quickly exceeded the 800,000 mark.

Hudson, a company that may even go bankrupt due to poor operation, has come back to life because of a game.

Everyone in the company is full of motivation. The work efficiency is extremely high, and even the director can hand over toilet paper to others is faster.

"This is the game that will be released today." Another Friday, before the game is released in the store, the list of games that will be released today was placed on Takahashi's desk.

Takahashi in the pile of paper raised his head and said to the running errands, "Thank you." The running errands clerk left.

He picked up the list and looked at it. Takahashi had no impression of most of the game names above. It was not until he saw the end of the page that he saw a familiar name "Super Mario Bros.".

It turns out that this game was released in 1985...

Takahashi was suddenly surprised to think about this game that was of great significance to the Red and White Machine, and even redefines how the game should be designed. The release of this game will have an extremely great impact on Hudson's "Gold Digger".

Players only have so much money in their pockets. If it is a general game, Takahashi won't care. Even if the game is not as fun as "Golden Digger", the promotion is far from comparable.

In this case, which game the player will buy is a bonus question.

But "Super Mario Bros." is different. Not only because he is Nintendo's first-party work, but also because this game is really, very fun.

This kind of fun may seem natural to those who later come to see it. But look at the game released in front of it.

Take the red and white version of "Gold Digger" for example. Although the picture is much more delicate than other versions of "Gold Digger", the picture is still a dark background.

What is the picture of "Super Mario Bros"?

Red bricks, blue sky, green grass, white clouds.

Compared with this game, other games of the same period were simply killed in seconds.

Will players still buy "Gold Digger" after they come into contact with this game?

Even Takahashi couldn't draw a positive conclusion.

It's midsummer now, and the more he thinks, the more he sweats. The original form is very good, and sales exceed one million is just around the corner, but suddenly such a game comes out, you must think of a way!

"I'll go back to the company!" Takahashi stood up, said to the comic editor next to him, and then went downstairs in a hurry and rushed back to the building where Hudson was.

"What's going on?" asked a comic editor.

"Don't know." Another comic editor shook his head.

The third comic editor walked to Takahashi's desk, picked up the piece of paper that Takahashi had just put down and pondered, "Maybe it has something to do with the game to be released today, maybe there is something amazing!"

"Then why is he nervous? Their company's "Gold Digger" has sold nearly 800,000 copies and is not satisfied. Our comics can't achieve this sales in one issue."

"Have you heard of Hudson's bet with the American company? If there are new and interesting works that appear, the sales of "Gold Digger" will be less than one million copies, and Takahashi will be miserable!"

"Everyone works! Work! Look at Takahashi, and then look at you. A bunch of waste and a bunch of rice buckets!" The editor-in-chief came out of the office and scolded these gossip editors.

—————

"I'll look for the president." Takahashi said at the front desk, then went upstairs and walked towards Yuji Kudo's office.

The entire Hudson Tokyo branch, even if the president's younger brother and president Hiroshi Kudo, had to go through an appointment and notification process to see the president. However, Takahashi had the privilege of meeting the president whenever he wanted to see the president.

Open the door and the cool breeze comes to you.

Yuji Kudo put down the report, looked at Takahashi and said, "What's wrong? Look at your sweat."

"President, have you seen the game form that Nintendo will be released today." Takahashi did not respond, but said directly.

Yuji Kudo turned the air conditioner to brighten the brightness so that Hudson's most powerful opponent, Takahashi, caught a cold. He took out a novice dress from the cabinet and threw it to Takahashi and said, "Look, what's wrong? What game is worth being so surprised?"

"Super Mario Bros.," Takahashi said while wiping his sweat. "This game will sell very well. I'm afraid that because of this game, the sales of Gold Digger will not increase again."

"What are you afraid of? Nintendo's game?" Yuji Kudo picked up the form and looked at it.

"I don't think we can sit back and wait for death. Now the sales of "Gold Digger" is almost 800,000 sets. In order to withstand the sales impact of "Super Mario Bros.", I think an event should be held."

"What activity?" Kudo asked with a serious expression. Although he had not seen what kind of game "Super Mario Bros." was, he knew that the game that could make Takahashi "fear" would not be a simple game.

"Level design competition!" Takahashi said loudly, "Although our cassette does not have the function of recording information, we can add a loose leaf to the magazine of the Primary School Pavilion and let players fill in the levels.

They mailed us loose leafs, and we selected fifty excellent levels to make a new "Gold Digger".

This event can be called the "Golden Digger" Championship.

A card can be attached to the cassette to record the clearance password of "New Gold Digger". We will then determine the clearance order based on the time of postmark mailing, and issue rewards to each clearance user.

I think such a level made by players and leveled by players should be able to maintain the popularity of "Gold Digger" and survive the crisis of "Super Mario Bros.".

I think that only by doing this can the sales of "Gold Digger" exceed one million!"
