Game Development Giant

Yokoi Gunpei's talent and vision are undoubted, and he saw the key to this matter at a glance.

It's not that Yamauchi Hiroshi and Mura Masayuki didn't see it, but because the time was too short, their attention was not on it. On the contrary, Yokoi Gunpei, who had nothing to do for the time being, saw the key to the problem.

Then, the gloomy look on Hiroshi Yamauchi's face also disappeared, and he continued to ask slightly apologetically: Yokoi, if you have anything else to say, just keep talking. I have gone too far before, but Now is not what it was back then, and I can’t be as desperate and desperate as I was back then.”

Hearing what Hiroshi Yamauchi said, Gunpei Yokoi's expressionless face changed slightly. Although Hiroshi Yamauchi's words just now were just a hint of apology, this was still Yokoi Gunpei's visit to Nintendo. For the first time in so many years, I saw my president admit his mistakes to his subordinates.

Although very euphemistic and obscure.

However, Gunpei Yokoi's feelings for Nintendo[无_Error].s. have been slowly cultivated from the day he entered Nintendo twenty years ago to now, although he has some feelings for Hiroshi Yamauchi because of recent events. Prejudice, but he still has sincere feelings for Nintendo. Therefore, he licked his lips, moistened his lower lips slightly, and continued: Faced with the interviews of sixteen hosts, Mars Entertainment should be more anxious than us. We don't need to talk to him about this matter. I heard you just now We talked a lot about cooperating with Sony. You are worried about this and that. To be honest, for an electrical appliance giant like Sony, making a 16-bit game console is not that difficult at all. They told us The cooperation is just based on our market share in Japan and our game development capabilities.

In fact, Hiroshi Yamauchi and Masayuki Mura had discussed these two points before, but they didn't care about it, because these things did not happen overnight, and they could agree to Sony's participation in the development of game consoles. But it is absolutely impossible to agree to let people from Sony develop the game together.

Fortunately, Kutaragi Ken did not put forward too unreasonable ideas when discussing with Hiroshi Yamauchi, and the requests they made were acceptable to Hiroshi Yamauchi.

However, the reason why he was still hesitant before following Mura Masaki was that if he changed to CD-RO, the cost would increase. This was what made him hesitate. Gunpei Yokoi had also considered this, so he did not Say something about this. But he just said a little bit. We can ask Sony how much the cost can be reduced if our new console uses their CD-RO.

This sentence also made Hiroshi Yamauchi make up his mind. Sony took the initiative to seek their cooperation. Although they had their own purposes, but since Sony wanted to gain benefits from them, they had to pay. As for technology, The second aspect is the most important thing. Sony has a brand advantage throughout the world, especially in the North American market.

There are few Japanese companies that have a high reputation in Europe and the United States, and Sony is one of them.

Jester's trip to England to meet with Manchester United's owner Edwards was also successful, and he also met the current Manchester United manager. Alexey Ferguson.

But the current Ferguson is not the Sir Alex Ferguson who is well-known in world football. His current Manchester United is in dire straits, and he is constantly criticized by Manchester United fans, so to speak. He himself doesn't know if he can be sure whether he will be the Manchester United coach tomorrow.

And when Manchester United was in the most dire straits, the company actually took the initiative to discuss the renewal of the advertising contract, and also took the initiative to increase the renewal amount by as much as 30% in accordance with unspoken rules. This really confused him.

When Jester met Ferguson, his idol in his previous life, he was in a very calm mood. It was not like when he had just traveled through time and met someone he had only seen on the book TV network. He could not be more excited than any character he had ever heard of.

Now he is a successful person and has become the idol of countless people. The American media has conducted a data collection across the United States. He is the number one teen idol in the United States, and the second one agreed to do graphics with him. Bill Gates developed the operating system.

Moreover, Jester didn't have much time to come to the UK this time. There were still many things for him to deal with in the United States. Therefore, he met with Ferguson at the Manchester United Club. By the way, he also visited Manchester United's Hall of Honor. Of course, There are very few trophies in the honor room now, and the one placed in the most conspicuous position is the Big Ears Cup trophy they won more than 20 years ago.

Seeing the shabby appearance in the honor room made Jester, who had been in the glory of Manchester United since he became a Manchester United fan, extremely uncomfortable.

Just when Jester visited Manchester United and Manchester United's home stadium, Old Trafford, he remembered that their company didn't have a reliable football game at the moment. It's not that dreb doesn't have one, EA has all kinds of games. Release of the game.

The game currently being developed by Stripper, who has just joined the dreb game development camp, is a football game, which is adapted from the extremely popular cartoon of the same name in Japan. The name is Angel Wings. This game Jester I have heard of it. Although this game is full of Japanese people’s ignorance of football, it is undeniable that if the element of football is thrown out, then this game is still good.

It's full of romantic fantasy, and in Jester's eyes, as long as it makes people like it, at least this game called Angel Wings has made many people who originally lacked interest in football become interested in football. Football road, and eventually become a generation of superstars.

For example, Aguero.

But to be honest, although this game has many fans in Europe and South America, its main fans and audience are still in Japan. And as far as Jester knows, this game is also very influential in Japan and its sales volume is also very large. High, Jester doesn’t remember exactly how much the first game sold in Japan. It’s not a mainstream game after all, but it should be close to two million.

Back then, the Trousers Demons also knew where the audience for their game was. They saw the hot sales of Technos-Japan's Hot Blood series on FC, especially after the hot sales of Hot Blood Football in Japan, and they also started to make a game. football game idea.

After all, it is much easier for a less famous game company to succeed in producing a type of game than in producing a popular game.

Although the sales of technos-japan's Hot Blood Series are hot in Japan, no one cares about them in Europe and the United States. This also made the underwear demon not have much hope when facing the recruitment of Jester's Mars Entertainment at the beginning. Interested, I want to join the FC camp wholeheartedly.

It's because FC's market share in Japan is much higher than that of DREB, which makes the pants-removing demon behave like this.

But in the end, Luo Hua was deliberately ruthless. Nintendo turned a blind eye to the charming eyes of the pants-removing demons and offered them quite harsh conditions. On the other hand, the treatment given by Mars Entertainment was much better. After thinking twice, the conditions given to them were much better. The pants demon still resolutely joined the dreb camp.

The reason why Jester specifically asked the Mars Entertainment Division to give this kind of treatment to Pantsless Demon is that he knows the influence of the game Angel Wings in Japan, and he also knows that Pantsless Demon is not a company that can only produce content that meets the needs of everyone. Companies that manufacture games that Japanese people like can also make American players addicted.

Because the action game Ninja Dragon has always been the benchmark for the difficulty of action games from its birth until decades later. Even when Sour Face was the producer of the Ninja Dragon series, this action game became even more difficult. is known as the best action game in the world.

Of course, some fans of Hideki Kamiya may not think so, but that's all, just some clowns.

But to put it another way, Jester is well aware of the future gaming landscape in Europe and the United States, which places equal emphasis on cars, guns, and balls. The most important reason why Weigu was able to share the world equally with Sony was because his machine compared with Sony. The ps series is more suitable for playing rough and brainless games such as car and ball.

Especially ball. The sales of later ball games, especially football games, are very stable, and each game is very simple to make. EA's FIFA series has one game every year, and its stable sales of tens of millions make all manufacturers stunned. No wonder, because it is much easier to make a football game like this than it takes to make other games.

However, as far as Jester knows, at least the current EA has not obtained the FIFA trademark from FIFA, and even if it obtains the trademark, it may not necessarily be able to become bigger. You know, EA has just started to use it. When the FIFA trademark was produced, their football games were far behind the Japanese manufacturer's Victory Eleven in terms of quality and sales.

The reason why they were able to achieve a sales record of ten times the sales of the pes series in the end is that their investment and dedication during this period are difficult for outsiders to know.

And even if we are not yet in the 3D era, sports games in the true sense have not yet reached the level of millions of units. But on the other hand, Nintendo's crudely produced game called Football The sales volume of FC games in Japan is close to one million units.
