It has been enough time since the birth of the red and white machine, and the third party has begun to understand the functions of the red and white machine, and has accumulated enough skills. I was able to use the barren function of the red and white machine to make more monsters and more exciting and fun games.

Although, most of these new games are more difficult and complex. Some are out of the realm of "whole family" entertainment. But there is no way around it, after all, this is the trend in the development of video games.

Today, there is a cassette in front of Lin Yan's desk, which looks like it has a few more SMD elements than the standard cassette. It looks a little more complicated.

It's a fact that this cartridge is complicated, because it not only adds memory capacity, but also has a chip that assists in the calculation of the red and white machine.

The reason why it takes so much effort is because the third-party manufacturer Kanami, they want to launch a side-scrolling game that is shocking enough. And the function of the red and white machine itself cannot meet their requirements. So, they decided to develop an augmentation chip themselves.

Sounds amazing, doesn't it, but in fact, it's really powerful. Before Conami joined the Red and White Machine, they were arcade merchants. In order to differentiate themselves from other manufacturers' arcade machines, they used their own advantages to develop special hardware to make their machines look better.

It's not that they don't have the ability to develop their own home computer platform. It's just that they feel that the R&D cycle is too long, and second, there is no way to compete for a large part of the market under the condition that the red and white machine is in charge, so they gave up the development of their own home machine and entered the red and white machine camp instead.

With the passage of time, capable manufacturers have finally come out of many mediocre people. Konami stood out in this big wave and became the red and white machine camp. A dazzling third-party manufacturer.

Even, judging from the selection of fresh college students at the end of last year, Konami is a company with a large number of choices in the field of video games. It's just behind the Chiba Games and Video Games League, in third place.

Most of the video game manufacturers in the first 100 miles are based in Tokyo. There are more than 70 of them in the vicinity of Akihabara. And in the first 100 miles, a small number of outliers should be Ren Hell headquartered in Kyoto.

Ren Hell hasn't been too easy to say lately, although the total sales of gaming watches have reached a staggering 20 million units. However, since the price of each unit is not high, the profit is not very large. Coupled with the fact that players are generally tired of playing this kind of game console, and the impact of the video game league's new electronic pet machine, the Digimon Rex machine. has caused their performance to decline a lot.

This was followed by a drop in their share price on the Osaka stock market.

Recently it is said that they have abandoned the home console route. Instead, the center is placed on the "portability of home game consoles", that is, on portable handhelds.

With the rumors of Chiba Games leaking out, it seems that there is not much time left for Ren Hell to make a portable game console.

"Konami's R&D capabilities are really good!" Lin Yan played with this game cartridge in his hand, and said with a playful expression on his face.

The reason why Konami gave the sample of this game cartridge to Chiba Games is not because of its respect for the industry boss as a subordinate or as a junior brother.

It's because they don't have the means to produce their own cassette. All cassettes of the red and white machine. All are manufactured by Chiba Games.

Chiba Games can subcontract the task of making cassettes to any business they want.

But. It is impossible for any third-party game manufacturer to submit programs directly to these game cartridge companies, let them be responsible for the programming, and place orders with them. Must go through the transit here in Chiba Games.

Although this method of dealing with it makes third-party manufacturers have some complaints. But. Chiba Games has no intention of giving up on this approach.

The reason why Chiba Games is a Chiba Game is because it has production, platform, and sales channels, which is a big killer. If any of these are touched by other people, it will weaken Chiba Games' ability to control the red and white machine.

Although there are also gray profits such as making excess profits, the price of cassette tapes is not transparent, etc. But the main thing is that if anyone can make cassettes, then the video game empire of the red and white machine will not be long before it collapses.

Atari is still lying on the beach, although it has not completely disappeared, but most of the business has been broken up and sold by Time Warner.

"What do they mean is that they want to license this new cartridge to other manufacturers, and they charge a certain license fee?" Lin Yan asked, Chiba Yuki.

Chiba Yuki has indeed looked very haggard recently, and it seems that he is busy with his studies and career at the same time, which is really a very difficult thing.

Although Lin Yan was also busy with both at the same time, he didn't look as tired as Chiba Yuki. Of course, there is the reason why he is still a sophomore in high school, and the other reason is that he seems to be relatively comfortable with both.

After all, he studied the knowledge of high school, and the knowledge of video games also has memories in his mind.

Although Chiba Yuki didn't look good, she was in good spirits, and she said, "That's right. However, I don't think it's good to give them all the license fees. I want Chiba Games to charge a part of the licensing fee, but I'm afraid the impact will not be good. ”

Lin Yan said with a smile, "What's the bad effect?" Now those third-party manufacturers, aren't they already saying that Chiba Games is squeezing them all day long? Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold - mother, don't worry about them, let's just do our best. That's it.,The licensing fee of the new cartridge will be split between Konami and Chiba Games.,What do you think, senior sister.。 ”

Chiba Yuki thought for a moment, and then she said, "Let's do it." No matter what you do, you can't just praise everyone. ”

"That's it." Lin Yan said. He lifted his ass and left Yuki Chiba's office, thinking that with such a new technology, it was time to put Super Mario Bros. II on the agenda.

In fact, many of the games ported from arcades launched at the same time as Super Mario Bros. have already launched second and third generation sequels.

One of the main reasons why "Super Mario Bros. " was launched so slowly was because Lin Yan didn't want to make the series bad.

After all, Super Mario Bros. is a Chiba game, as well as a fist work of the red and white machine. (To be continued......)
