"When using a cathode ray tube display, there must be a high-voltage pack, and the voltage of the battery from five volts is forcibly raised to more than 2,000 volts, which has an unusually large power loss. If you want to achieve a display area of 3.5 inches, you must leave a certain amount of space for projection. ”

The curtains were drawn in the conference room of Nintendo, and the smoke of cigarettes filled the room, as if countless demons were entrenched here. A technician is in front of the slide projection, introducing the technical principles of the Sega handheld to the bigwigs.

The reason why Sega's handheld display screen can achieve 16 million colors of display, and there is no LCD drag. Because it is not a liquid crystal display at all, but a cathode ray tube display.

The so-called cathode ray tube display screen is an ancient TV screen and computer monitor. The principle of this kind of display is to use a high-voltage magnetic field to distort electromagnetic waves, so that the phosphors on the screen undergo different color changes. The specific principle is a bit like the slide machine in front of you, but the difference is in that. The projector of the cathode ray tube display is inside the machine, on the other side of the screen where the person can see.

Because it is a projection, the larger the screen of this monitor, the larger the backpack. Moreover, if you are not a professional, it is strictly forbidden to disassemble the voltage of more than 2,000 volts. If you disassemble the difference cell, it is easy to turn a person into a coke circle.

"When we took apart Sega's GAMEGEAR gear, we found that the display part had stickers on it that were strictly forbidden for non-professionals to disassemble. We calculated that if it is not properly disassembled, resulting in a current leakage, the high-voltage pack of the Sega GAMEGEAR can electrocute a person in an instant. After discussion, we believe that this is a point that can be promoted.

An unsafe, bomb-like handheld that no parent wants their child to play with.

The rest of the circuit design, Sega still does a very aesthetic job. But there's this big power-hungry screen. Even if the circuit is made concise and exquisite, it is inevitable that the GAMEGEAR game gear will become a bit of an electric tiger.

After our analysis, we believe that the GAMEGEAR gaming gear has a fatal flaw.

With its high price, terrifying power consumption, and terrible danger, we all agree that such a handheld will not be accepted by this player.

After discussion, we believe that the main opponent of GAMEBOY is still Wanhu's GOODGAME.

I'm done. ”

After the technician from the first development department finished speaking, Gunhei Yokoi stood up, he walked to the front of the stage, cleared his throat and said.

"Compared to the flashy Sega GAMEGEAR game gear, Wanhu's GOODGAME is the opponent we need to pay attention to.

Wanhu's GOODGAME is almost the same as our company's GAMEBOY hardware performance, and even the design ideas are the same. If GAMEBOY is not developed by me, if the story is made up because Wanhu's GOODGAME R&D plan is earlier, the product will come out earlier. I even thought that there was a traitor among us.

In the case of the same hardware, the key to a showdown is the software! is the content! is the game! I think the "Sims" series of games that appeared on GOODGAME is very worthy of our attention. From this game, we can see that Wanhu has adapted to the handheld platform. A new game has been released for the features of the handheld platform.

The successor host of our red and white machine, the next generation of host is still under development. I THINK THAT THE PRIORITY AT THIS STAGE SHOULD BE ON THE GAMEBOY.

Walking on one leg is not as good as walking on two legs, and be prepared for danger in times of peace. Although we are on the home console platform, we are still the hegemon in this book. However, we are already one position behind Sega in the United States.

I think we should enrich a lot of GB handheld games during this time, and invite more third parties to make GB games.

In order to reserve ammunition for the home console wars that we face in the future.

I'm done. ”

Gunhei Yokoi returned to his seat.

Although GAMEBOY is his own son, Yokoi Junhei did not say that he must give priority to the GB handheld. In his speech just now, he has been emphasizing that GB's handheld market is only a supplement to the console market. Although the handheld market seems to be larger, Yokoi Junhei sees it clearly.

Everyone has a game console, whether it is Nintendo's, or Wanhu's, or Sega's, that is unrealistic.

Now it has entered a cycle of decline. This cycle of decline is like a long winter. Although in a short period of time, in order to save money, everyone does not go out of the house and chooses to play video games, which is a good thing for video games.

But in the long run, the decline in spending power will eventually lead to fewer and fewer gamers buying games.

Yokoi Junhei, a middle-aged man who has never published a book in his life, has now begun to look at the world.

It is said that this is Nintendo's basic market, and North America is the key to competing for the global market. As the center of the world except for the Soviet Union, as long as one thing is loved by American consumers, it can be favored by consumers in almost all capitalist countries in the world without discrimination.

Even if this kind of thing is expensive and difficult to use, but for people in most countries, American dads recognize this, this thing must be good, and we must adapt to this thing. This thing is not good, it must not be because it is not good, but because we are too naïve to understand this thing.

This kind of psychology can indeed be said to be very changed (harmonious).

But sadly, even the consumers of Yokoi Gunhei's homeland are like this.

Nintendo's important battle for Salted Fish is precisely because of the admiration of this player.

You know, although the game "Donkey Kong" is unique among the original shooting games, it is not the most fun.

However, the news from the United States was rationally operated and coupled with live advertisements by American GIs stationed in Japan.

"Donkey Kong" is very unreasonably popular, and even in the popularity of the book, it catches up with the "Space Invaders" that ignited the arcade market in the first place.

Nintendo, which has dug a big pot of gold from the video game industry, has the capital to continue tossing.

Gradually, I tried to make a red and white machine, and I didn't have much preparation. It changed the ecology of the video game industry in one fell swoop.

At once, from many brother manufacturers, it was upgraded to a father-level existence.

Although other manufacturers are not convinced, there is no second company in Quanyueben, which can enter the ranks of the top ten companies in the market value of Quanyueben with only one business and only video games.

You must know that the top ten are ranked in the top 50 in the world.

Does Nintendo have a long history?

It has a long history, and it is a century-old solitaire workshop.

Is Nintendo great?

Although there are many people who hate Nintendo, no one can deny the greatness of Nintendo.

And Wanhu, after the fall of Sega, is still in the battlefield of handhelds, fighting against the great Nintendo.
