Gunpei Yokoi, Masayuki Kimura, Shigeru Miyamoto, Genhiro Takeuchi, Takashi Tezuka, Toru Osawa......

This team of more than a dozen people, including well-known hardware designers and well-known software developers, is Nintendo's core team. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The group of people had serious facial expressions, like a cold winter wind, blowing through the hallway and into the Mario Club.

The crowd, who was still as noisy as the vegetable market, immediately shut up. Although arcades are the main ones now, as a representative of Nintendo, it doesn't mean that they can despise Nintendo's core personnel.

At Shigeru Miyamoto's orders, the tester nervously reset the game and started playing Endless Fantasy again.

"Light and darkness duel for a thousand years......

Darkness covers the earth......

The Bright Brave Awaken Again......"

The plot of the game progresses little by little, and Shigeru Miyamoto is responsible for explaining to everyone while the tester is playing. As the producer of Nintendo's most popular game, Shigeru Miyamoto is an absolute authority when it comes to explaining game design.

The people of the core team, listening to Shigeru Miyamoto's explanation, showed thoughtful expressions from time to time.

Yamauchi Pu is probably the person with the least facial expressions among everyone. Although he was the president of Nintendo, Nintendo's entry into the field of video games was directly instructed by him. But he doesn't play video games himself. According to legend, he never touched a video game.

As the most successful game company for a long time to come. The president doesn't play video games at all, and he hasn't played them at all, which is really interesting and big news.

The tester played for about half an hour, and Shigeru Miyamoto explained for half an hour, he took the water handed by his assistant, drank it all, and then quietly waited for the core team to discuss.

Yamauchi was the first to speak, "I think this game is good, it's much better than the current games that are all bouncing. The chairman of the Hokkaido Takushoku Bank also contacted me some time ago and asked me to slow down the game review of 10,000 households as much as possible. Because Takahashi's kid received 100 million yen from the Hokkaido Takushoku Bank, and signed a gambling agreement, if his game did not sell well, he would hand over 10% of the shares of 10,000 households to the Tokushoku Bank.

However, now it seems that the game is not bad, so why should I listen to him? Nintendo only owed them four billion yen, and they wanted to kill me but didn't dare to kill me.

Let's see if there are any problems with this game, if not, when Takahashi's kid has all the money, he will start preparing for production. And fully promote the game. ”

After saying that, Yamauchi didn't care what other people thought, and left the Mario Club directly and walked upstairs.

Director Tsuruta looked at these changes that had happened in a short period of time, and his face was already a little numb.

It's like a person who is shocked every day by the Ministry of Shock, and will not be shocked anymore. After being surprised again and again, Director Tsuruta is no longer surprised.

These Nintendo executives, in accordance with the tone set by President Yamauchi, went through a series of discussions.

Finally, it shows that the testers are asked to test the game for any fatal bugs, and then conduct a content review to see if there is anything that is not suitable for children.

If there are no bugs, there is no problem with the content, and this game will be prioritized in the production sequence after 10,000 households have paid the money, and priority will be given to publicity.

Nintendo's core personnel left the Mario Club, and they walked up to Takahashi one by one and congratulated Takahashi.

Gunpei Yokoi quietly gave Takahashi a thumbs up, while Shigeru Miyamoto patted Takahashi on the shoulder in a gesture of encouragement.

After Nintendo's core personnel left, representatives of other game companies also lined up to congratulate them.

Takahashi coped with them one by one, reaching out and not hitting the smiling man. Besides, at his level, there is no need to be angry with these agents.

The representative of Taidong seemed quite unusual in the midst of the peace, he seemed very panicked, he felt that the Nintendo headquarters building was cold, and he wanted to go out to bask in the sun, get out of here, and embrace the sun.

The representatives of other manufacturers, although they didn't say anything, had silently pulled the representative of Taidong into the blacklist in their hearts.

On one side is Takahashi, who can alarm the entire Nintendo executives, and on the other hand, there is a reckless agent of Taito. For these creatures who seek advantage and avoid harm, they are of course on the side of Takahashi.

If it weren't for Takahashi's politeness and courtesy to them, and a little estrangement, maybe they would have started to cheer for Takahashi and invite Takahashi to go to the store with a young lady for a spring festival at night.

There wasn't much joy on Takahashi's face, and what seemed magical to others was supposed to happen in his own eyes.

He turned his head sideways to Director Tsuruta and said, "Director Tsuruda, I don't know if your bank can continue to lend to me." You see the cassette is about to be produced, but I don't have much money in my hands. ”

"How much does it cost to make a cassette, Gao San...... I can go and help you apply......" Director Tsuruta is now more respectful than before.

On the day he signed the contract, Takahashi, who had learned about the production prices of each cassette agent, knew that the 64,000-byte cassette with the largest capacity at the stage would cost 2,000 yen per cassette.

Takahashi's own sales of the game "Endless Fantasy" have not reached the level of eating a fat man in one bite, and it is like selling a million copies.

Based on the number of previous 10,000 arcade players, as well as the sales data of the original Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy in his memory, he set an expected sales target of 500,000 copies.

The OEM fee for one cassette is 2,000, and 500,000 cassettes are one billion yen.

Takahashi felt more and more that Nintendo's royalty model was simply the originator of kryptonite games in the future. The first charge of 100 million yen is complete, and there are various top-up activities to follow. As long as you fall into this pit, it will be difficult to get out.

At the same time, Takahashi also somewhat understands why Nintendo has set a royalty threshold. Only manufacturers who have the financial resources to pay the royalties can survive in this set of game rules designed by Nintendo.

"A billion yen. Takahashi said lightly.

"What...... One billion yen?" "Director Tsuruda, who thought he would no longer be shocked, was shocked again.

He doesn't think he understands the world of video games very well. The total valuation of 10,000 companies is only one billion yen, and Takahashi will borrow one billion yen, which is too exaggerated.

Takahashi raised his head and helped Tsuruta press the lower handlebar back, and he said, "Go back and apply, come on!
