"Takahashi, meet again. A sentimental voice rang out.

"yes, meet again. President Kudo. Takahashi replied.

Takahashi is now in a car on the outskirts of the city, and next to him is Hudson's president, Yuji Kudo.

Nintendo's announcement of unilateral termination of cooperation with Wanhu and the abolition of Wanhe's third-party identity caused a sensation in the game industry.

This is the first time Nintendo has done this.

In the past, Nintendo wanted to sanction a certain manufacturer, all of which were to use various accidents such as the failure of the game review, the fire and flood of the factory production, which led to the scrapping of the cartridge and the need to re-pay for production.

The only possibility that Wanhu is so harsh is that Wanhu touches Nintendo's core interests.

Nintendo said that 10,000 households imitated Nintendo's red and white machines, is there really such a thing?

Through the upstream supply chain, such as Ricoh, etc., although they did sell to more than 10,000 households for the production of chips, those production lines do not have the ability to produce red and white machine level chips.

Moreover, almost all people in the industry know that the source of pirated red and white machines comes from Taiwan (Harmony) Bay.

That...... What exactly is it about Wanhu that makes Nintendo unhappy?

To understand why Nintendo is so angry, it is very simple for many high-level executives, standing high and looking far away, taking a bird's eye view of the overall situation, and it is easy to find the erosion of the Tetris handheld on Nintendo's game watch market.

With the development of technology, the miniaturization of circuits, turning a complete game console into a machine that can be held in the palm of your hand does not seem to be an unattainable fantasy.

Looking forward to the future a little, we know that Nintendo, after the success of the red and white machine, must have some plans for the handheld market that has been occupied by game watches.

However, just when gaming watches are no longer popular in the market, and new machines have not yet been launched. Wanhu's "Tetris" handheld was born.

Although, this machine is not a direction that the top brass in the industry is optimistic about.

However, this machine already has the outline of a future handheld.

You can change cartridges, you can play multiple games, and you can play for a long time.

Coupled with the unparalleled popularity of Riot Games "Tetris", after a few months of struggle, Nintendo's game watch has been on the verge of being removed from the shelves in its homeland, and only in the United States, Europe and other developed countries where Tetris is handheld and has not yet been involved on a large scale, it still occupies a certain market share.

In this way, you can understand why Nintendo implemented an "extermination policy" against Wanhe.

You must know that one of the main sources of income for Wanhu is to publish games on red and white machines. Perhaps, Nintendo is vainly trying to ban Wanhu from making red and white machine games, so as to drag down Wanhu's capital chain, so as to slow down Wanhu's research and development.

Before Wanhu launched the successor model of the "Tetris" handheld, it launched its own game handheld and regained the right to speak in the handheld market.

It's a pity that Wanhu is not one of those small manufacturers who have a lot of debts and will die if they have no cash flow, and can be manipulated at will.

In addition to the sales revenue of red and white games, the sales of arcade machines have declined, but they have stabilized. However, the sum of these two incomes is less than half of the total income of 10,000 households.

The rest of the income, except for the house in his hand, which is skyrocketing every day, is the "Tetris" machine.

Although the price sold by 10,000 households is very low, the profit of each unit sold is still higher than that of the red and white machine cassette.

Coupled with the hot sales of "Tetris" machines, the purchasers are paying in advance to 10,000 households, which is much more reasonable than Nintendo's charge in advance and the settlement after the press.

It is precisely because of this that Takahashi has the confidence to seek reconciliation in a low voice when Nintendo unilaterally expelled Wanhu as a third party.

You must know that neither Hudson, who is highly dependent on Nintendo, nor Namco and Taito, who are arcade tyrants, have the courage to completely break off with Nintendo.

After all, even if their chairman wants to, the shareholders will not agree, what is it to keep their voices down, it is important to make money! Money will not complain!

"Takahashi, I admire your decision! In fact, you have done something that many of our manufacturers want to do and dare not do. Nintendo is too hegemonic, but its red and white machines are so profitable, we have to swallow our anger......"

Yuji Kudo said in an equal tone.

Although Takahashi was once an employee of Hudson, he was also a capable player of Hudson. But now in less than two years, Takahashi, which has established its own portal, has established 10,000 households and has become a rising star.

Although Yuji Kudo emotionally can't accept Takahashi's "betrayal", if he is allowed to choose, he will definitely choose to stand on his own if he has such strength.

Now that time has passed, think about it from another angle, Hudson can go out to achieve such a foundation, doesn't that mean that Hudson is also very powerful.

Takahashi did not accept Kudo's praise, he smiled wryly, "It's not a decision I made on my own initiative, it's completely passive." I had no prior knowledge of Nintendo's decision to expel me from the third party. Wanhu's game development department is also developing several games for red and white machines. Nintendo's decision caused a direct loss of 500 million yen to 10,000 households, and I think the indirect loss is more than 5 billion yen.

Unlike in the past, the scale of making games is getting bigger and bigger. Team coordination has become a new problem, and I'm sure you've experienced the difficulty of making a large-scale game.

Nintendo's sudden announcement of expelling us from a third party is like a person picking up a heavy object and flashing to his waist, alas......"

Yuji Kudo also became sad when he heard Takahashi's words, although Hudson was once known as Nintendo's "nine thousand years old", and countless games from small manufacturers were released on Nintendo's red and white machines through Hudson's agency.

However, this is no longer the case.

As Nintendo's first-party and second-party development games become more and more proficient, as there are more and more third-party small manufacturers. Neither Nintendo nor a small factory can accept Hudson's commission and exploitation as a second-tier dealer. Nintendo's licensing level for Hudson has also been lowered again and again, and now there is no obvious difference from third-party small manufacturers.

The resentment against Nintendo has become the synaesthesia of almost all third parties. can make people have to rely on you to make money on the one hand, and at the same time rush to scold the mother, Nintendo can be regarded as a model of being able to die a big death without dying.

"Takahashi, I would like to invite your ten thousand households to join our hosting plan!"

Pictured poor dagger, Yuji Kudo said the reason for this meeting.
