Chapter 388: Third Party
"Oops,, dying, dying...... Oops, I was hacked to death, and I haven't practiced enough yet!" Putting down the handle in his hand, Li Xu sighed, and then handed it back to Shigeru Miyamoto next to him. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's not bad, let's not talk about the graphics, it's good to have such a picture with such performance, the gameplay is very good, the viscosity is right, and it won't make the player completely addicted to it, but it's reluctant to put ......it down," he continued.
Lin Lin always talked for a long time, all of them were clichΓ©s and nonsense, and the main meaning is: This game is a good trial, I think it's very good, and you can continue to make it.
It's also a shame that Shigeru Miyamoto is honestly remembering it next to him.
"By the way, Akira Toriyama ......" Li Xu thought of something at this time.
"Toriyama-kun has already agreed to make the original painting and character design for us. Shigeru Miyamoto said immediately.
"Well, then I don't have to call JUMP. Li Xu nodded, "After all, I also imitate his painting style to paint the character." β
After a pause, he immediately said: "It's best to give him a big contract, and in the future "Dragon Quest" series, he can draw the character ......."
Speaking of this, he burst out laughing, and reached out to pat his forehead: "Hey, what are you talking about, the game is not finished yet, and I am thinking about the future." β
"Young Master Liangshi can always capture the thirst of gamers, and "Dragon Quest" must also be a hot seller. Shigeru Miyamoto lowered his head and said in a respectful tone.
"Ah, you're going to be a sycophant too, Miyamoto-san. Li Xu immediately laughed.
"Just to tell you the truth," Shigeru Miyamoto still had that respectful attitude, "Master Yoshimi can see the future, which is the common understanding of our employees in Nintendo's game development department. β
Li Xu laughed again, then looked at him and said, "Okay, just ask whatever you want to ask, don't be so secretive." β
"I'm very sorry," Shigeru Miyamoto immediately bowed and apologized, "I just heard that Master Yoshimi seems to be planning to let Square Enix develop your new idea. β
"Yes," Li Xu nodded, "Is there any problem?"
"I don't know what Nintendo is doing badly, I hope Master Yoshimi can tell us. Shigeru Miyamoto's tone was sincere.
Li Xu blinked innocently: "No, Nintendo has done a good job." β
"So, why is Master Yoshimi reluctant to continue with Nintendo...... What about cooperation?" Miyamoto Shigeru asked again, his tone more sincere.
"Hey, aren't we working together?" Li Xu looked surprised, as if he really didn't understand.
"Yes, not all games are developed by Nintendo," Shigeru Miyamoto immediately explained, "We also fully cooperate with third-party development companies, but with the example of Atari, we had to choose our partners carefully, so at the end of last year, under the leadership of the president, we passed the royalty system......"
Because of Li Xu's intervention, the current Nintendo is much more powerful than the same period in another time and space, and "Super Mario" and "Cube" have made them a lot of money, and the royalty system has naturally appeared in advance.
In 30 years' time, Nintendo will provide a platform for any software vendor who wants to release a game on this platform, and they will have to follow their rules. For example, the software has to pass their review, for example, the cassette can only be made by Nintendo, for example, the software company has a limited number of productions, for example, you have to pay a large deposit to join the platform, and so on.
The most painful thing is probably copyright sharing, in other words, as long as the software company publishes the game on this platform, then the copyright of the game must be shared with Nintendo.
To be sure, in the years of the Atari Crash, the system was still effective in controlling the quality of the game and did not cause a second crash. But after Nintendo became bigger and stronger, this system became a shackle on developers, especially the trick of copyright sharing, which made all kinds of entanglements between developers and Nintendo, so that many classic games could not be developed later, and many times it was a big bully.
Otherwise, why do you say that Sony Big X is good, and God will be hell.
In this time and space, in order to implement the royalty system, Yamauchi Pu held high the banner of Li Xu and deceived and told the third-party developer: You see, the nine young masters who developed "Space Invaders", "Pac-Man", and "Cube" all share the copyright with Nintendo, why don't you do it?
Of course, he won't tell those developers that the copyright shared by Nintendo is very small, and the decision is not in their hands, Li Xu wants to decide not to make a sequel, Li Xu wants to decide to take back the copyright, and they can only let it go, which was written in the contract at the beginning.
Anyway, Li Xu's energy was not spent on this, starting from the earliest Rubik's Cube and "Snake", he was half a hands-off shopkeeper, except for reading reports, he rarely expressed his opinions. In addition, Yamauchi Pu consciously fed the young master of Kujo, so he blew the conch without scruples.
If Li Xu directly contacts a third-party developer, the bubble blown by Pu Yamauchi will be punctured, what will he do when the time comes? Will he turn his face against Li Xu? Let's not talk about whether he has this ability, as long as the copyright of "Super Mario" and "Cube" is taken back, Nintendo's foundation will be shaken.
But if you do nothing and let the truth come out, there is such an example here, even if it is just a special case, it is enough for a third party to rebel.
Even if the current game platform is dominated by Nintendo, although Atari has not completely fallen, it has been trampled in the mud and cannot get up, and the third party will eventually succumb, but Nintendo may also be greatly damaged.
It is estimated that Yamauchi Pu now has a feeling of a dog in his heart.
However, after all, he took the effort to get to know Li Xu, after all, he is the only son of the Japanese business queen.
He also knew that Li Xu didn't take these profits too seriously, but he had a good face, so he sent Miyamoto Shigeru over to take the opportunity to try out "Dragon Quest" - Li Xu said it himself, Miyamoto Shigeru is a very talented young man, he does things, I don't worry!
"That's right," after listening to Miyamoto Shigeru's subtle explanation, Li Xumo rubbed his chin and nodded, "Okay, I can think about the problem from Nintendo's point of view, but can I get a third party to make a game through you?"
A look of pain flashed on Shigeru Miyamoto's face: "Young Master Liangshi, our developer, is also very capable. β
"Of course I know," Li Xu waved his hand, "Without you programmers, especially your checking and filling in the gaps, it would not be so easy to develop these games." However, there are many, many games that I want to develop, and there are so many different styles that you can really develop them all?"
Shigeru Miyamoto opened his mouth, but he didn't say the word "can" after all, but just asked, "What are the ideas of Young Master Yoshimi?"
"For example, fighting, such as adventure, such as racing, such as horizontal axis shooting, such as 45-degree scene walking, such as ...... 3Dγ Li Xu said with a chuckle.
β3β¦β¦ 3D?" Shigeru Miyamoto's eyes widened
"There is no doubt that it will take at least 20 years to get the effect I imagined. Li Xu stretched out his hand, "The current hardware level is not enough. β
Then he said, "Let's put it this way, Miyamoto-san, I'm a big player, but what I'm playing is showing the wild fantasies in my head with sound and video." β
"I ...... I see......" Shigeru Miyamoto bowed after a moment's silence, "I'll convey that to the president." β
"I'm not going to engage with a third-party developer until you've worked out what works for you. Li Xu expressed his understanding and gave his sincerity.
"Thanksgiving. Shigeru Miyamoto bowed again.
"Miyamoto-san," Li Xu looked at him, "there will be challengers in any industry, and the same is true for game consoles. β
"I see. Shigeru Miyamoto was silent for a while, then bowed for the third time before taking his leave.
After he left, Li Xu also sighed, his plan to play was a little blocked, he could completely imagine that if Yamauchi Pu couldn't find a solution, it would definitely be how long it could be delayed. Anyway, he said that he would not engage with a third party until they came up with a suitable way.
And...... When others give face, they also have to give face, but they set it themselves.
Then, Li Xu suddenly smashed a fist into the palm of his hand. I don't seem to have any female talents in game development, so why don't you cultivate a model, like Gong Haoen and Xie Ning.
If you think a little differently, there doesn't seem to be a female talent in manga, and since the tentacles have reached out to major Japanese publishing houses through my mother, it must be used to make use of them.
Don't you think it's interesting to turn the three migrant workers' comics and Conan into the works of female cartoonists?
Among the Japanese female cartoonists who have an impression, they can see it in front of Naoko Takeuchi and Akiko Higashimura, and those who are a little younger are barely able to see Hikaru Nakamura's appearance, and they can't see it up close.
So, it's better to train yourself, but I don't know who is suitable.
Li Xu closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, and then shook his head again, there is no need to rush this matter, even "Detective Conan" will be published ten years later, although he really wants to snatch "Slam Dunk".
Anyway, it took a lot of effort to get the second thing done, so what's next?
Well, strictly speaking, he didn't put much effort into it, he spent a lot more energy than the first thing.
There is nothing to say about the broadcast rights of "Journey to the West", after watching the film, it is enough for Japan to compete for TV stations, and Li Xu doesn't need to care so much.
And when it comes to contact third-party developers, Nintendo also has the qualifications to turn around, although it is difficult to say in the future.
In fact, whether it is the broadcast rights of "Journey to the West" or the development of video games, it is not important, the important thing is that Li Xu wants to start using these to expand his influence in Japan, and he can't always rely on his mother.
Don't forget, next year will be ......
"When the young master contacted a third-party developer, he didn't think about it that much, right?" a somewhat immature female voice sounded in her ears.
"Oh?" Li Xu opened his eyes, looked at the girl who appeared beside him, and showed a smile, "Why do you say that, Li Fuzhenxi?"
