  Chapter 586 is completely different from the previous few days

  Click.

  Switch iconic logos collide with each other.

   then disappears.

  A high-saturation cartoon-style picture appears.

  As the ground shook, a Tyrannosaurus rex ran forward, then stopped suddenly on the edge of the cliff, flicked its tail, turned its head, and roared upwards.

   It looks like that.

   But the next second.

  As the camera moved up slowly, it aimed at the red hat on the Tyrannosaurus rex.

  The painting style changed suddenly.

   Mario with a big nose, a hat, blue overalls, and a beard jumped up with fireworks.

   officially kicked off the prelude to the announcement of "Super Mario: Odyssey".

Yes.

   It was the second day after UMedia Technology announced the completion of financing.

  Linmu Studio began to publicize the game "Super Mario: Odyssey" on a large scale.

   Everyone just wanted to see Lin Yao's big kill, how to lead the financing-completed UMedia Technology to ride the wind and waves.

  She introduced the game to everyone.

   It's just... nonsensical.

but.

   It's not Lin Yao's fault, it's mainly the crowd who watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal.

  After the financing is completed.

  Lin Yao didn't say anything.

  As for Zhang Youjie’s remarks to the media, most of them are actually nonsense.

  The plan after the real internal financing is completed.

   Only a few high-level insiders know about it, and it is impossible to tell the outside world.

   Lin Yao has already decided many things, and she will not speed up her pace or change anything because of the completion of financing.

  So, how could Linmu Studio announce with great fanfare what it would do on the second day of financing.

  However, for the people who eat melons, it is probably because the recent FutureS1 is too dazzling, the previous Switch’s overseas performance is too dazzling, and the financing amount is too high.

  The valuation of the first round of financing is 40 billion.

   The first round is equivalent to two half-day foxes.

  Most of the mobile phone companies that have emerged now have experienced 3 to 5 rounds of financing, and there are even higher ones, which means that UMedia will go through at least two rounds of financing in the future.

  If they keep up the momentum, then IPO well...

  The final market value is beyond imagination.

  Plus the first round of financing up to 6 billion.

so.

   Really, many people want to see Linmu Studio's next big kill.

   Of course, there are many people who are very wary of this.

  And this caused a dislocation of expectations, and it seemed that the announcement of "Super Mario: Odyssey" seemed out of place.

  Many people are dumbfounded about this.

   But Lin Yao didn't care about it.

  Linmu Studio is a game company, why not announce the game?

Just started.

   Some people still think that Linmu Studio is hinting that using the games on Switch, it implies that FutureS1 will be as big as Switch in the future.

  Especially the sand sculpture players, the analysis is clear and logical.

but.

As the time goes.

  There are more and more announcements about Super Mario Odyssey, but none of them have anything to do with mobile phones.

   Everyone has to admit it.

  Linmu Studio is really just announcing its new game...

   With the news about financing gradually fading.

  The players are finally no longer entangled.

  Start focusing on the game.

   As the long-lost first-party masterpiece on Switch.

  There are still many players looking forward to it.

  After all, no matter whether it was last year or the first half of this year, it was PC-side games that were the most popular.

  Switch has been suffering without first-party masterpieces for a long time.

but.

  Many players also understand that the current timing is indeed a bit embarrassing...

  Switch, as a host with free switching and portability as its main selling points, just hit the tide of mobile game development head-on...

   It's really not the time.

   This is also the reason why many players feel that Linmu Studio is not announcing the game, but hinting at the foreshadowing.

  Let’s not talk about Linmu Studio’s own six mobile games.

   Now Tianhu and other companies have launched their own mobile games.

  Mobile games have indeed started to go on the right track.

   In terms of convenience, mobile phones are more convenient.

  Switch games, are they still competitive?

   This became a topic.

certainly.

   This is still one-sided in the game circle.

  The gameplay of the first-party masterpiece on Switch, as long as you have played it, you will know that it will be much higher than mobile games.

   So most players don't see this as a problem.

   But for users who have not been exposed to Switch, it is difficult to say.

   This period of time is due to financing news.

   Many ordinary users have also been able to see the promotional video of "Super Mario: Odyssey".

   After all, Linmu Studio has been in the limelight, so of course their other actions have also attracted much attention.

  And under the various reports of "Super Mario: Odyssey", many FutureS1 users left messages asking others if this is a mobile game...

  After learning that it was not.

  Many people asked again, why not make it into a mobile game and enter FutureS1...

soon.

   This embarrassing scene has become a hot topic in the 'game circle'.

  “[Screenshot] I have to say, it’s really embarrassing. The current Switch feels like it’s colliding with FutureS1. What’s even more embarrassing is that it’s still a product of the same company.”

   "It's not embarrassing, the mobile phone is a communication tool, no matter how many things are added, the most important function is still communication! But the Switch is a pure game console, just for playing games, it is not the same thing at all."

   "Yes, Lin Yao should have guessed that there would be such a result. Do you remember that interview? During the carnival, she said that this "Super Mario: Odyssey" is the answer to the existence of Switch."

   "It's hard to say, objectively, mobile game players and Switch players are really easy to confuse."

   "Indeed, the next step is to see how Linmu Studio responds to this situation."

   "..."

   Players know the difference between first-party games and mobile games on Switch.

  After all, the carrier is something completely different.

   But they also understand that there is indeed room for ambiguity at the moment.

   If FutureS1 users, most of them think it is the same game.

  It is possible for the last Switch games to land on mobile phones.

   This really worries players.

   After all, mobile games are booming recently, and Youmedia, a subsidiary of Linmu Studio, has just completed financing...

   Players now want to see how Linmu Studio will deal with the misunderstanding of mobile phone users.

   But Linmu Studio... didn't respond at all.

   Announce the game as usual.

  And most of the fixed audience, although surprised, but pre-ordered all pre-ordered.

   As for mobile phone users... Linmu Studio doesn't care at all.

at the same time.

  Although the news of Youmedia’s financing has passed.

   But the power is still there.

   Zhang Youjie told reporters that he would continue to increase the number of Future offline stores and expand overseas markets.

   This is too lethal for developers.

   plus.

Tianhu, which seized the opportunity last month, announced in a high-profile manner at the beginning of this month that it will increase investment in mobile games. As a result, income has increased significantly.

  Tianhu did not say clearly how much growth the mobile version of "Tianhu Travels" brought.

  But a special mention of it can explain the problem very well.

  So, FutureS1 has once again become the sweet momo in the eyes of developers!

   Fall back to the altar again!

  As long as you want to develop for a long time and gain both fame and fortune, you want to release a mobile game that is popular with players.

  As for the Jiaming Alliance...it suddenly fell to the altar.

   has become a place that is only suitable for making quick money in the eyes of many developers.

  Many developers have changed their attitudes towards the two platforms since then.

   Even if.

   Now the Jiaming Alliance also wants to be strict.

   But without an app store, being strict doesn't help.

  Jiaming Alliance thoroughly tasted the bitter fruit of indulging developers at the beginning.

  They can't help it either.

   You can only speed up your pace internally to get your app store online as soon as possible.

  FutureS1 here.

  Although it has once again become the sweet pastry in the eyes of developers, the wind direction has also changed.

  They no longer imitate the six mobile games of Linmu Studio.

   Instead, on this basis, I began to think about end games suitable for porting mobile games.

certainly.

  Most developers still choose the same path as Tianhu, and follow the turn-based system.

   Only a small number of developers continue to scratch their heads and think hard, wanting to be the originator of a type.

  A new round of different mobile game fever has risen again.

  And users, the perception of mobile games, from the novelty at the beginning, has gradually become accustomed to it.

   More and more people accept it.

   "Super Mario: Odyssey" on Switch is in this environment, ushered in the release date...

   For ordinary users.

   This is a game like a mobile game but not a mobile game.

   And for the players.

   This first-party Switch masterpiece launched at the intersection of the times, in Lin Yao’s words, symbolizes the meaning of Switch’s existence.

   Most players.

   are very concerned about the performance of this game.

   Even many players regard the release date of "Super Mario: Odyssey" as the mobile game era, the moment when Switch decides life and death.

  …

  July 3rd.

   We are two days away from the release of Super Mario Odyssey.

at the same time.

  Future's offline stores quietly have new divisions...

  Switch.

   appeared in the Future offline store.

   It was not announced with much fanfare.

   But reasonable.

  Although YouMedia has raised funds, the control is still firmly in the hands of Linmu Studio.

  Switch is a product of Linmu Studio.

   Appears in offline stores, which is normal.

   This can also provide Future offline stores with more diverse products.

at the same time.

  Future’s online official website also has an introduction page for Switch.

   The player soon discovered this.

  However, the Switch appeared in the physical store. The next day, some players discovered it one after another...

  The time comes to July 5th.

   At twelve noon, "Super Mario: Odyssey" is officially unlocked.

   And at the same time.

  Pengcheng, Nanshan.

  Yun Xingping walked into the Future offline store...

  Pengcheng’s Future offline store has been open for some time.

   But this offline store, the flow of people is still very scary.

  In fact, all major offline stores are in the same situation.

  After all, the mobile phone is really easy to use, and the decoration of the physical store is unique.

   There are many people who come to join in the fun every day.

  Yun Xingping came to try out the mobile phone today.

  He is a light gamer, he has heard of FutureS1 for a long time, and he has also seen the press conference.

   But at the time, he felt that his mobile phone was enough.

   After hesitating for a moment, he didn't change.

but.

  During this period, after the Future offline store opened, Future became popular again, and the news of successful financing added fuel to the fire of this mobile phone.

  His suppressed heartbeat couldn't be suppressed anymore.

   It just so happened that he just came to Pengcheng for a business trip these few days.

  So after finishing the work, he hurried to the offline store, ready to try the mobile phone on the spot.

  If it works, he will buy it.

   and came to the store.

  Yun Xingping has to admit...it's really different from other mobile phone stores.

  The decoration is really special.

   But more importantly, stay comfortable.

  He looked around the shop full of people coming and going, a little sighed, and then with a little excitement, he was ready to try the mobile phone.

but.

   He had just walked out not far away when he was suddenly attracted by a product that was not a mobile phone.

   Mainly, there are also a lot of people trying it out there.

  People circled around.

  Most of them are couples.

  Of course, there are also friends.

  And their movements are similar—each holding a small handle, staring at the screen intently, and occasionally exclaiming.

  Happy voices and laughter came frequently.

   "Isn't that a Switch?"

  Yun Xingping was a little surprised when he saw the situation over there clearly.

  Although he didn't buy this host, as a light player, he has heard of it.

  At first, he was a little curious about the fact that the Future offline store would sell Switches, but then he realized that they were all products of Linmu Studio, and he was relieved.

   And his purpose this time was not the Switch, so he quickly looked away and turned to use the phone.

   Soon... Yun Xingping gasped for air.

   Occasionally, there will be a muttering like 'exactly the same'.

  He tried the mobile phone for seven or eight minutes with great interest, and immediately made a decision.

purchase!

  He put down the trial mobile phone, then turned his head, excitedly preparing to go to the staff to pick up the goods.

   But on the way.

  He passed the Switch demo area.

   Suddenly paused.

  He thought that he would be able to get the phone later, and thought that he had never tried the Switch. He felt that it was not too late anyway, and it was a rare opportunity, so he planned to try this host as well.

   However, the area of ​​Switch is small and there are many people.

   At the beginning, he didn't find a chance to try it out, so he could only watch others play.

   And the person in front of him who is trying out is a young couple.

   Two people each hold a handle.

  As for the game he is playing, Yun Xingping doesn’t know him, but he has a vague impression of the characters in it.

  Blue overalls...It seems to be called Mario.

   And this game, with cartoon style and high saturation, feels a little childish, but it is really pleasing.

   This young couple seems to have tried it for a while, and they are quite skilled at it.

   "Throw your hat."

   "Throw it away."

  The two communicated while manipulating the hat and Mario himself.

   Coordinates poorly.

   But barely succeeded.

   A throw hat dangling.

  The other man controlled Mario himself to jump onto the hat, completed the jump, and successfully climbed onto the high platform.

   And both of them are very happy about it.

   "Haha, Mario is so cute."

  The woman is holding the handle, smiling all over her face, not in a hurry.

   "Don't just call her cute... Throw your hat and eat gold coins."

  The man was a little impatient and wanted to continue playing.

   "Are you directing me?" The woman suddenly turned her head.

  The man was so scared that he sweated, and said humbly: "...No, we have to move forward."

  The woman let him go: "Okay, eat, let's go."

   "Okay."

  The man was overjoyed immediately, and controlled Mario to move forward.

  Long jump, triple jump, wall jump, ground jump, backflip...

  The man is indeed very talented in playing games, even if he just played for a while, he still looks decent.

  He controls Mario to bounce forward.

  Accompanied by Mario's happy cheers, he explored the map.

   And Yun Xingping looked at it, and was fascinated.

  Because it’s fun just to watch.

  And the levels in the game are really amazing.

  Mario controlled by two people will have new surprises wherever he goes.

  The entire waterfall country level is actually not big, but in such a limited space, the puzzles and collection elements are densely packed to a very exaggerated level.

  Every box, every wall, every platform and corner, even every tree and stone.

   are not just a scene decoration.

I can tell.

   This is placed and designed by the developer after careful consideration.

   It is precisely because of this.

  For this couple, every step of exploration in the game may yield surprises.

  Laughing and laughing constantly.

   "Hahaha, the iron ball dog will throw gold coins when it is installed on the wall."

   "Moon moon! Look, another moon! Give me the handle, I'll eat!"

   "Don't run around, hit the rock wall with a dinosaur! Eat the purple gold coins on it!"

   "Haha, it's become flat, so cute."

   "Jump...jump!"

   "Buy clothes, buy clothes! This one looks great!"

   "..."

  The young couple were chatting, smiling and playing games excitedly.

  Yun Xingping was so baffled that he saw the end.

  They successfully activated the spacecraft.

   At this time.

  Game reminder, the experience level is over.

  The young couple put down the controller with a lot of enthusiasm, and then inserted the controller back to the side of the screen while chatting.

   "It's so interesting, it's a pity that it's a trial game..."

   "The game is also on sale, why don't you buy one and play it at home?"

   "Isn't that bad?"

   "Not only this game, but also many interesting games, and it can also keep fit. Have you heard of the fitness ring? It can lose weight!"

   "Huh? Really?"

   "Go get your phone first, I will explain to you later, buy this "Super Mario" first, and then buy other ones."

   "..."

  The two put down the handles and left excitedly to check out.

  Yun Xingping took over from them and began to try out the Switch.

  He is also interested in this host.

   to open the home page.

  He found that the trial Switch included not only the trial play of "Super Mario: Odyssey", but also the trial play of "1-2 Switch" and "Star Kirby".

  He thought for a while, opened "Super Mario: Odyssey", and entered the trial level.

  Watching others play and playing by yourself is another feeling.

   Really... so much fun.

  Yun Xingping didn’t buy a Switch. As a casual player, he always felt that he didn’t need such a console.

  After the rise of mobile games.

  He felt that there was no need for it.

   After all, mobile phones can also play games, and it is more convenient.

   Then why buy a Switch?

  Although many players are saying that the gameplay of first-party games on Switch is simply invincible.

   But he has never had a concept of it.

  Just came to try it out, in fact, he just came up with it on a whim.

but.

   At the moment.

  He finally had a clear understanding of the 'gameplay of first-party games on Switch'.

   Really... It seems to be back to playing eight-bit machine games when I was a child.

   It's so much fun!

   During this period of time, he has also played a lot of mobile games.

   It's really a completely different feeling.

  Manipulation is more convenient.

  The handle also has real-time vibration feedback.

  Gameplay...It even kills the current mobile games.

and.

   He wasn't the only one who thought so.

  Because he was on the way to play.

   Opposite him, two good buddies who were also trying out the console were also sighing.

  “I thought it was the same as a mobile game, but I didn’t expect that the Switch could play so many games with the same small screen.”

   "Yeah, it's so interesting, I want to buy it, what's the price?"

   "1999."

   "..."

  Yun Xingping didn't continue to listen, because he was soon attracted by the game.

   But have to say.

  He also wants to start a bit...

  …

   While Wang Yunping was trying out the Switch.

  Many players who own Switch are also playing the game at the moment.

  For example, Li Yu, the number one player of the first carnival, entered "Super Mario: Odyssey" for the first time.

  The country of hats at the beginning, followed by the country of sand, the country of lakes, the country of forests...

   After opening the game.

   He was instantly hooked.

   Tell the truth.

  In terms of screen performance, "Dark Soul 2" some time ago can kill this game in seconds.

but.

  Playing this game, Li Yu wore a bewildered smile the whole time.

  Just look through the flowers and kick the stones to find the rewards inside, or play tricks on the cute enemies.

   He found it fun.

   It was really… a special experience.

   If you really want to use one word to evaluate this game, then this game has no other advantages, only one-fun!

Yes.

   It's just pure fun.

   It's so much fun.

finally.

  After looking through the entire forest country.

  Li Yu came back to his senses, put down the Switch, rubbed his sore hands, and then glanced at the screen.

   Don't know why.

  He suddenly remembered something.

  When "Super Mario: Odyssey" was first announced, the person in charge introduced the game and said a word, she said—this is a love letter to the old days.

  It's really a love letter...

  Linmu Studio... really awesome! !

  Mobile game? The meaning of the existence of Switch?

   These are not problems at all.

  Linmu Studio used this game to tell players that this is not a problem at all!

   No wonder Linmu Studio doesn't care about the opinions of mobile phone users, and doesn't consider the impact of the popularity of mobile games.

  Because Switch represents pure gameplay.

  Mobile game now! Can't compare!

   It’s really not as good as it is!

   Come to think of it.

  Li Yu immediately picked up his mobile phone, and then logged on to social media, ready to have a good talk with those users who said that "Super Mario: Odyssey" is like a mobile game.

but.

  The impulsive Li Yu, just opened social media, found the game media reporting on "Super Mario: Odyssey", opened the comment section at one click, and was stunned...

   Because of the few comments with the highest likes.

  The painting style is completely different from the previous few days...

   "Hahaha, I thought it was another mobile game, but I tried it on the spot. It's really different from mobile games. It's so interesting!"

   "Not only can you play games, but also exercise, the fitness ring looks great!"

   "Except for the expensive game, everything else is very good, let's get it!"

  “It’s very interesting, I never thought that I would come across such a good product when I was shopping for a mobile phone.”

   "..."

  Li Yu: "?????"
