Chapter 276: It's going to be a change
"Capcom, Enix, Konami, Namco...... What's going on with the new game development program now?"
"And you, why can Age of Wonders have such good luck, every game is a big sale! And we, not even a game can match them, not even Super Mario 3 can only be regarded as a small profit. ”
"All of this shows that our games aren't good enough! So, do you think that the royalty is too low to make better games?"
As soon as Yamauchi Pu's words came out, not only the people under Nintendo, but all the third parties and second parties changed their faces greatly!
Is the premium too low?
A royalty is already going to kill a group of people, and now if it is raised further, it is conceivable that when the Nintendo Gala is this year, even half of the third parties present may disappear!
But Yamauchi's words are obviously not a joke!
Sure enough, the next second.
"From now on, the royalty will be divided, and the proportion of all second-party reductions will return to normal, which will be consistent with the third party, and the proportion of the third party, which was originally stipulated in the royalty, will increase by another 2%!" said Yamauchi without any emotion.
"President!"
"President, isn't this too high!"
"President Yamauchi ......"
Now the second party, the third party and others can't sit still!
Everyone couldn't help but give their opinions!!
Second, once the same royalty system as a third party is restored, it will almost be discredited in the entire industry!
At the same time, there will be countless benefits to be lost!
If the reputation can be remedied, what about the benefits?
"How...... Now I know that I am in a hurry, why don't I see you in a hurry when I play the game? Now I am impatient when I hear that my interests have been damaged?" Yamauchi Pu showed an indifferent look.
"It's impossible to change this matter, unless, whoever makes a game beyond the Age of Miracles, even if it's one, then, I will give you the sequence of promoting to the second party, and the royalty will be halved, otherwise ......" Yamauchi Pu said brazenly: "Otherwise, it's useless for you to call the emperor!"
Shake!!
Unprecedented shock!!
Everyone looked at the mountain in disbelief!
At this moment, Nintendo, a place that has struggled for countless years, has become a little strange!
It's been five years, five years!
Nintendo has never been so furious!
The handheld of the Age of Wonders has indeed impacted the entire Nintendo, and the loss of the handheld market is almost the second pillar of Nintendo!
And the host battlefield of the first pillar has not made the slightest progress at this moment!
Three months of losses in a row!
Even Nintendo has reached the limit of patience!
Silent.
All the third parties were silent, and the words, did not say dead. Game production, as long as one surpasses the Age of Wonders, you can really get half the royalty.
Previously, this was a privilege only enjoyed by the second party.
Now, the conditions are in front of you.
But, can it be done?
No one dared to stand up and say for sure, "Leave it to us!"
In the past three months, the game of the Age of Miracles has told them with ironclad evidence that miracles must be high-quality!
Even the sales of Super Mario 3, except for the games that can surpass the Age of Wonders in the first and second months, the sales in the last month have been fully surpassed!
This is precisely the reason for Yamauchi's anger.
The Super Mario series, hailed as an absolute classic by the game industry, is actually losing at the moment?!
What makes Yamauchi even more angry is that in the past month, the slogan played by the Miracle Era is actually "beyond the classic game"!
This is simply Chiguo's slap in the face of Nintendo!
And what's even more terrifying is that even he has to admit that the tactics of the disc are really terrible!!
The nine games of the Star Console, even if you add the price of the console, according to the lowest price, it is only $207!
If you buy FC, then the nine games together are already approaching $200.
The concepts of "cost-effective" and "cost-effective" have been used in such a staggered manner by overwhelmingly promoting a set of combination punches.
Nintendo, Sega was beaten a little bit unfounded.
When players don't have a choice, a cartridge can only be purchased honestly for $10 or even $15.
But when they suddenly find that it is several times cheaper, and the picture quality is particularly excellent, why don't players choose?
It's a celebration for players!
It's also a carnival for players!
Almost after the launch of the Age of Miracles commercial, it didn't even take too much time and effort to quickly get recognized by players.
All of a sudden, both Nintendo and Sega's console sales were greatly affected.
This time, even Sega suffered a heavy blow!!
The development of MD is no joke, and the investment is more than 1 billion yen!
If it can't be recovered, Sega's debt will even be in crisis!
This is a misappropriation of arcade profits to make up for the loss of the console.
A blow with all his might, but it seemed to hit the cotton, the original enemy, from Nintendo to the Age of Wonders, the original 16-bit console to the 8-bit console crushed but became a 16-bit console that was inferior to the Age of Miracles in all aspects.
Nintendo has never paid much attention to Sega, so you can imagine it!
Because Yamauchi Pu found that he actually used the power of Nintendo and Sega, but there was no way to suppress the Miracle Era!
Even if he is as strong as Yamauchi Pu, there is a trace of unease!
This is a feeling he hasn't felt in ten years!!
When I faced Atari at the beginning, I just paid attention to it, not the inner uneasiness I am now!
This beating, in the eyes of Yamauchi Pu, is intended to be a wake-up call! He wants to tell all third parties that the second party is in the position of capable people! As long as the game is done well, it will not matter!
Yamauchi Pu is not stupid, since there is no way to come out with a high-quality game in a normal way, then he has to force everyone to move forward!
At the end of the meeting, of course, it was an unhappy part.
Nintendo's conference is like a sentence.
Set up the company and the third party and grill it.
Nintendo's solution has never been to solve the problem by gentle means.
At this moment, at the Sega headquarters, Hayao Nakayama had a sad face, and Yu Suzuki also had an ugly face at this moment.
Yu Suzuki spent a lot of time involved in the development of the MD Candlestick console game.
But now the results are ......
Speechless!
Xingchen is selling well in the United States, MD is not cared for, and although FC is also unbearable, there are still people rushing to Super Mario, and FC is also losing money, but FC at least the research funds have already been earned!
And it's been earned for a few years!
But what about MD?
The cost of MD has just been smashed in, I haven't even seen a shadow, there are a few muffled sounds, the sales volume of this MD is calculated into the operation and production costs of the market, this is simply a bloody deal!!
I'm at work.,The update will be at night in the future.,I try to stick to three shifts a day.,But the time is not guaranteed.,I'm sorry......
