"The entire Hudson company, after this transformation, has been transformed from a limited company to a joint-stock company, and with the entry of shareholders, Hudson's capital reserve capacity has greatly increased!"

"The overnight wealth made Kudo's two brothers self-confident skyrocketing. Of course, they also have this capital. ”

Mu Mengqi looked at the group with solemn faces and made a slight joke.

But, obviously, no one was able to laugh......

Hudson is more powerful than they can imagine!

Mu Mengqi had no choice but to continue.

Just last year, Hudson moved the entire company from Tokyo's Chuo-ku office to the more bustling Shinjuku district.

There's even a national gaming convention ......"

Hudson, after having countless funds, has undoubtedly been recognized by many fans for his bold behavior!

Later Takahashi celebrities and other things have been explained before.

After a lot of things, Hudson's classics are also fleshed out.

"Bomberman" became popular again in Japan after "The Legend of Momotaro".

Without the specific story background of Japan, with its simple and bright game style, multiplayer battle cooperation and other modes, funny background music and bright picture colors, many players are competing to buy and have fun with their families......

The game's classic has become a legend.

Of course, in addition to these classics, Hudson has made quite a few fun games, including a famous "love house" dedicated to women.

It has also attracted many people.

But on October 30, 1987, Hudson made a decision that everyone didn't expect.

The PCEngine console, which was jointly developed with NEC and is based on the HE-SYSTEM specification and uses CD-ROM as the carrier, which is also the first game console in the history of home game consoles to use CD-ROM as the carrier.

Later, the addition of Namco and Taito, which are major manufacturers in the industry, also proved this problem even more!

However, Namco seems to see Hudson's lack of succession. ”

"Now that Namco has completely fallen on us, we are under a lot less pressure. ”

Speaking of Namco, this may be the luckier thing in the Age of Miracles right now.

After all, the PCE console is a game console product that Hudson has made every effort to create.

In terms of CPU, the 6502 custom version is used, and the chipset named HuC62 is used to provide image processing functions.

Although the CPU is 8-bit, the peripheral chips such as the image chip are all 16-bit, which can still achieve much better performance than the Nintendo FC console.

Coupled with the groundbreaking CD-ROM drive, Hudson's PCE is like the emergence of the Age of Wonders.

Become an epoch-making product!

It's clear that Hudson is one of the best in the business industry.

The large media capacity and low cost of CD-ROM discs also allow game companies to cram more content into the discs, including animated images. In terms of resolution, it can achieve "256× 240, 320× 240, 336×240, 512×240" multiple resolution output!

It can be said that Hudson's every step is exactly the same path as the Age of Miracles!

It's just that this booming game manufacturer didn't get the same result.

and even almost buried the fate of the entire enterprise.

The main reason for this is that Hudson is going in a completely different direction from the Age of Wonders!

While PCE's games are filled with a lot of beautiful animated clips, at the end of the day, players buy them back to "play the game" and not to "watch the animation".

Why hasn't Hudson moved before?

On the one hand, because of Nintendo's blockade, Hudson wants to break away from Nintendo's second party, and even seize Nintendo's third-party support, how is this possible!

Nintendo's strong blockade prevented Hudson from getting the support of more game manufacturers.

On the other hand, the idea of "animated cutscenes" + "transplanted arcade games" as the main body is naturally good.

But in terms of helpless expressiveness, it is far from being able to give full play to the advantages of this host!

At the end of the day, players won't see more fun games on it, so they won't easily buy a console!

The age of miracles is different.

The hardware is powerful, but what is even more powerful is the playability******* high production and fun of the game.

It's such a simple truth, but it completely goes out of a different path from Hudson.

But when Hudson stepped up and announced that a new game would be released this year for Christmas.

It still brings expectations to many players!

After all, this is Hudson!

Bring the gold-diggers, Momotaro, Bomberman's Hudson!

Such a Hudson is still credible!

Of course......

If you can't buy a new console, you can play Hudson's games......

But this is the legendary Hudson!

The performance of its comprehensive strength.

If it's in Nintendo, it's still in the first echelon!

Of course, Hudson has been rejected by Nintendo for a long time......

After all, no company that is supporting other first-party companies will allow such behavior.

Nintendo suspended any resources originally given to Hudson as early as the moment the PCE console was released.

This also created Hudson's ruthlessness to keep doing nothing.

It's just that Hudson has been going downhill since then, which is why he hasn't been able to sell the cassette again!

"But if you talk to them about cooperation now, with Hudson's arrogance, I'm afraid it's not realistic. Ling Donghua shook the information in his hand and said.

Ling Donghua, who had recovered his IQ, suddenly fell silent with this sentence.

That's right, even Nintendo failed to keep Hudson, Age of Wonders can?

Although a large part of the reason is because Nintendo's royalty system is too chilling.

Nintendo's royalty system is inhumane to all third parties!

For example, 1) the content of the software must be checked by Nintendo, 2) only 3 pieces of software can be produced in a year, and 3) all cassettes are produced by Nintendo.

On these three provisions, let the third party suffer!

Although, this management method is quite effective for controlling the quality of the software.

But this completely prevents ambitious third parties from developing more powerfully!

After all, on the one hand, Nintendo wants to control the quality of the software, and on the other hand, it also makes a lot of money by collecting royalties!

At the same time, under the binding of interests, various game manufacturers are firmly in their own hands.

Therefore, many companies that joined later, even if they sold 1 million cassettes, rarely built buildings again, and the reason for this is the "royalty".

Even as a second party, like Namco and Hudson, if you want to produce your own cassette?

Yes, a premium of 100 yen per cartridge is paid, and if it is produced by Nintendo, there is no charge.

This is still the treatment of the second party. As for the other 4 second parties, it's even more bitter haha.
