"Boss, the two games developed by Sega are indeed very good, and they are both suitable for porting to console platforms......"

Yamauchi Pu widened his eyes and frowned deeply, Nintendo has been lying on salary all these years, and seeing that Nintendo has a bright future, is it about to collapse so soon?

He couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, the pace of new entrepreneurship was too fast, in such a situation, he had to consider other measures, and this was just the beginning, a game was popular, it took a while, it was so popular at the beginning, and it would be wildfire in the future, which was a situation he didn't want to see anyway.

"Looks like it's time to play home advantage!"

Yamauchi made up his mind, and in the next few days, he used almost all the resources of the Japanese business and political circles to suppress new startups.

They are even counting on the use of political power to put pressure on TV stations to reduce the broadcast of advertisements for the products of the new venture electronics group.

Naturally, Japan's TV station originally didn't want to pay attention to it, but Yamauchi's influence is still good, and his family has developed for more than 100 years, and has been regarded as his own by the Chinese in Japan.

Even though the influence of the Japanese branch is good, and every year it not only sells products in Japan, but also brings a lot of orders to small and medium-sized game production companies and some electronic component factories in Japan. It is also the new venture electronics not only dumping products, but also bringing to those small and medium-sized enterprises in Japan, especially the industry, to sell their products to the world using the Pangu platform of the new start-up, so it also has a lot of popularity.

But compared to those old Chinese politicians and chaebols, this level of influence is not remarkable.

After suppressing the new advertisements of the new start-up department and reducing the news exposure, and directing the news and public opinion to the Super Nintendo console. What cost-effective advantage, what super hardware, what awesome people actually use the hardware of the Super Nintendo console, and change out a 486 computer that is theoretically still launched by PC manufacturers!

By the end of the month, Super Nintendo had stubbornly received orders for 500,000 units.

Yamauchi Pu finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled back a game, but the task that followed was also quite urgent, if there was no new masterpiece, then the Super Nintendo released would soon be put in the corner to eat dust.

This is just like the later mobile phone market, when WeChat swept the country, the monthly active users exceeded 1 billion, across different mobile phone platforms. If there is a new release of a top-of-the-line mobile phone, when everyone is excited to buy it, they are told that they can't install WeChat, then I am afraid that they will definitely be abandoned.

The console is also a reason, so the first thing Yamauchi did next was to develop new games, and he had enough confidence in this.

If Sega wins with game innovation, then Nintendo is the king of IP. Moreover, many of Nintendo's IPs have appeared in 80 years, but they have been eaten for decades and have changed countless popular games. In addition to the cumulative recharge sales of later online games and mobile games, only stand-alone games were the most profitable, and later Nintendo's games almost dominated the list.

Well, maybe there will definitely be more players in "Chinese Cube" than in "Mario", but there will definitely be no money in "Mario".

Inside the newly started building, Lin Qi looked at the report in front of him, his face calm.

In this game with Nintendo, he had long expected such a result, in fact, he is not God, and he can't slap the invincible new Nintendo console to death. The main purpose of doing this now is to slow down the growth rate of Nintendo's new console, and not let it grow to the point of tens of millions of users a year. And, if Nintendo is trapped in the Japanese market as much as possible, and other markets will not buy it except for the Japanese market, then, a few years later, Pangu's global user base will further grow to more than 500 million. At that time, I didn't have to care about a niche console platform.

And within a month, Sega also tasted the sweetness, but what made all Sega employees feel aggrieved was that they were running their own games, but they still had to take the banner of a new business.

But after getting the prize money and putting a lot of money in their pockets, they didn't have anything to say.

The market was basically stable, and when Lin Qi was about to shift his gaze, he didn't expect Hayayao Tanaka to come to the door again, and the purpose of coming this time really surprised Lin Qi.

Hayao Tanaka came to talk about another game, Shenmue, which was later well received and touched countless players.

According to the real progress of history, this game should not appear at all, and what Lin Qi did not expect was that while Sega had accumulated a lot of wealth, its ambitions were also inflated to an unprecedented level.

No wonder Sega lost so badly this time, the finance department can already run mice!

Shenmue was originally run on Saturn, a 32-bit console developed by Sega, and the game was originally called The Old Man and the Peachtree, which was eventually renamed Shenmue when it was released on DC. However, the performance in DC was not satisfactory, and it was soon declared a failure, and the sequel to the game quietly appeared on the original Xbox. Later, it made several improvements, trying to integrate RPGs and fighting games, and received mixed reviews.

"Mr. Tanaka, I really admire your methods!" Lin Qi really admired this time, the 32-bit technology is not too new, Nintendo has done it, and Sega has done it.

However, at the time when the console was not released, such a game was already developed, which required a lot of guts, or rather, a certain amount of arrogance.

"Sega's fifth-generation machine, just used for excessive, a good game, just research and development takes several years, the ultimate goal, I was originally set on a 32-bit machine, now it seems that it is better to cooperate with new entrepreneurs. ”

Of course, Hayayao Tanaka is not stupid, this wave of operations has brought a new direction to Sega, and without configuration, I can sell games! A game like "Shenmue" that is not yet mature, and if it is released on its own platform, the hardware may not be able to move, but selling it to the new venture electronics group can cash out a sum of money.

"I can buy it, but for the price, I can only give you 20 million dollars. Lin Qi said.

"It's a bit too low, it's not like the two existing games can be compared, and Sega has put a lot of effort into it. The reason why Hayao Tanaka did this was that he would also see the generosity of the new business, and the transplant fund of two million in four days was quite generous, so he came this time to negotiate a good price.

Lin Qi smiled and said: "If it were a year or two in advance, I might have more, but there are too many bubbles in Japan's current economy, and in my opinion, this bubble may soon be punctured, and the consumer market for games will also shrink, so in Nintendo's war, I just took a conservative attitude." ”

Lin Qi is naturally not stupid, the money for a new business is not blown by the wind, and if he invests a point, he must have a profit that is one point higher.

Of course, in addition to these reasons, the game "Shenmue" is indeed quite good, and when it was released in history, it was almost done due to Sega's death. This game, historically, also accelerated the death of Sega, with a sky-high price of 7 billion yen, including advertising.

But this game has attracted a group of die-hard fans in the industry. This game pioneered the use of Hollywood directors and talents in the Japanese animation industry to carefully polish the game with a film-like mentality. It can be said that it is an attempt at a cinematic game, hoping to refresh the quality of game production to a new high.

It's a pity that the advent of this game and the market sales were mediocre, and it didn't bring much performance to the Sega platform, nor did it promote the sales of the Sega console. On the contrary, because the money burned too fiercely, the cost could not be recovered, which further accelerated the bankruptcy of Sega.

Regardless of the gameplay experience, Shenmue completely changed the way people looked at the cinematic genre, the way the producers thought about it, and was recognized as an absolute genius and groundbreaking ******* and cutscenes, which until Shenmue fused the two together. For an animated-based game, this approach makes the game less static and encourages the player to participate in the game from the perspective of a viewer.

Other than that, Shenmue is still a traditional RPG. You move around town, complete side quests, develop the protagonist's revenge story, and interact with a sprawling open world. While there were already games that included a day and night cycle, Shenmue was the first game to include a day and night cycle and real-time weather effects.
