"President, it's my responsibility this time...... Otherwise, I'll step down as a game producer......" Hiroshi Suzuki said with shame.

Suzuki ...... It's not your problem......" Hayao Nakayama smiled wryly and shook his head.

"But...... Our Game ...... I really can't sell it......" Yu Suzuki lowered his head.

This proud son of the sky, a generation of geniuses, also feels extremely lost at this moment!

It took me a whole year, a lot of energy, and even the feedback from players during the test was fun.

But these games with high hopes came across games from the Age of Wonders.

It's like a bad game all of a sudden!

No one knows why!

No one can give an answer.

Why is it that the work of a top game producer is not worth much? Why don't players like it?

It's just that what he doesn't know is that this question is placed in Shigeru Miyamoto, over there, and it is exactly the same confusion and incomprehension.

"Let's try again...... "Hayabusa Nakayama also said hesitantly, "You have never let me down." I've always believed in you, only this time ......"

"This opponent ...... It's incredible......"

"How can he ...... It's easy to make so many games......"

Hayabusa's temples ached.

After a long time, he sighed and walked towards the door......

Leave Hiroshi Suzuki alone.

It's just that when he walked to the door, he stopped again, and his tone seemed to be ten years old: "Suzuki, there are still three months...... If, Sega really ...... I can't get a single game...... Then ...... Abandon MD......"

"What? you...... You mean...... Host, we're going to give up ??!!," Yu Suzuki shouted in disbelief.

"Hmm...... Two quarters...... It's the most space I can fight for...... After two quarters, the board of directors will not allow me to continue like this without any scorn, whether I want to or not, whether I want to or not......"

"Once this amount is lost, it is likely to be a bad debt for the entire Sega...... You should understand my ...... Is that ......."

Yumasa Suzuki walked towards Hayakuo Nakayama and stopped for a moment.

What else could he say?

The R&D expenditure was 1 billion yen, and countless manpower, material resources, and market resources were mobilized before and after.

He, after all, is just a president......

Even if it is to create countless brilliant ......

Even if he once vowed to fight Nintendo to the end......

But now the opponent has changed......

After fighting with Nintendo for five years, the console market has never won the slightest, and it is all losing money, but fortunately, the arcade machine is a big hit, and the board of directors has turned a blind eye.

In particular, the market for the host is really large, so he has come to this point.

But now that there is another era of miracles, is it going to be another five years of losses?

As soon as this idea appeared, the sensibles panicked instantly!

What if, in another five years, there will be another cat or dog or something?

Eight squares!!

Yu Suzuki hates it so much!!

Do you really want to give up on MD?

This abandonment is no joke!!

This release is equivalent to withdrawing from the host market!!

This retreat, that means defeat!

More than such a simple sentence!

He opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to refute it......

For a long time, Hayao Nakayama didn't know when to leave, and Yu Suzuki had to put down his hand in a gloomy manner......

He knows him, and he understands him.

If it weren't for the last resort, it would never have been possible.

If such a choice is made, it must be a time of true despair.

The fists were clenched together, and in the darkness, a cheetah seemed to open its eyes, choosing someone to devour!

……

Nintendo's meeting is over.

"Uemura-kun ......"

There was a knock at the door.

"Please come in. ”

In the room, the middle-aged Gunpei Yokoi sat down cross-legged, sighed and said, "Uemura-kun, if you say today's president, you ...... Don't mind too much ......."

"Don't mind, what more can I mind ......" The person sitting across from him took out a bookmark, gently placed it on the page, and stamped it.

“…… Honestly, are you really sure that you will hand over a new plan this month......" Gunhei Yokoi asked hesitantly.

Shaking his head, Masayuki Uemura said without a trace of hesitation: "You are also doing hardware technology, think about it, is it possible?"

"......" Yokoi Junhei was speechless.

"FC, I've told you a long time ago that it's lagging behind and you have to find a way to improve it as soon as possible...... But ......" Masayuki Uemura showed a helpless expression.

Of course, Yokoi knew what he was talking about.

Masayuki Uemura, his ability, his vision, is not much worse than him.

Masayuki Uemura, born in 1943, is two years younger than Gunpei Yokoi.

It was born in Nara Prefecture in Japan. It was the end of World War II, and my family had just moved to Kyoto. His childhood was spent in material deprivation.

When Masayuki Uemura was in elementary school, he read about how to make an ore radio from a book, so he rode his bicycle to the Electric Street in central Kyoto and bought the electrical components and assembled them himself.

After trial and error, the ore radio in Masayuki Uemura's hand finally came out of the sound.

When Masayuki Uemura was obsessed with music in middle school, he took the tape recorder to school to connect it to a homemade loudspeaker and play classical music to his classmates. Later, he was admitted to the Faculty of Electronic Engineering at Chiba Institute of Technology.

After graduating from university in 1967, 24-year-old Masayuki Uemura joined Hayakawa Electric Industry and engaged in the research and development of laser sensing equipment. Of course, this company sounds like a small business, but his later name has resounded all over the world, Sharp!

By chance, Masayuki Uemura heard that Nintendo's Yokoi Gunpei was developing a ray gun amusement device, so he approached Yokoi Gunpei and recommended him to Hayakawa Electric Industries' solar cells.

After this set of light gun amusement equipment came out, it quickly won the love of a large number of players, and it became a must-have gun device in arcades in the future. It became one of Nintendo's early successes.

Later, Yamauchi Pu used his extraordinary vision to rent a large number of idle bowling alleys and transform them into ray gun shooting ranges. This is the first collaboration between Masayuki Uemura and Gunpei Yokoi, and the facts have once again proved that this move has been recognized by many people. Eventually, in 1972, Masayuki Uemura left Sharp to join Nintendo, where he was responsible for game hardware development.

The days of joining Nintendo, of course, will not be smooth, and it can almost be said that Masayuki Uemura has always faced the risk of failure at any time.

Later, he would joke about Nintendo's free udon noodles from time to time, because this was an overtime meal provided by Nintendo to employees who worked overtime, and it was obvious that Uemura often worked late for the new console.
