If he doesn't handle this matter well, then Nintendo's North American strategy will likely face the embarrassment of total failure, needless to say that his father-in-law, Mr. Yamauchi, will not be satisfied with this, even if he himself absolutely can't accept this kind of humiliated failure.

But after thinking about it, Arakawa really can't think of a better means of checks and balances, although Jester's means are despicable, but what he said is the fact that the performance of the other party's home game console is indeed higher than that of FC, and N**S does not change the soup with FC.

But the problem is,It's absolutely impossible to let the headquarters re-develop a new host now.,It's also the most stupid behavior.,This may also be what the other party wants to do the most.,So the question is.,What should I do now?

To tell the truth, the last thing Minoru Arakawa, who knows the unspoken rules of the United States, wants to do is sue, because he knows that even if he has the full ability to win, if the other party is willing, he can drag on this lawsuit for an infinite time, maybe three years or five years, and even if he wins at that time, what is the use.

The market is long gone.

Jester has made it clear that he will not sell this kind of simulator, and in the case that the other party does not make a profit in turn, the best outcome is for the other party to publicly apologize and add a little insignificant compensation, which is too much for himself and Nintendo.

With a sigh, Minoru Arakawa calmed down some of his previous anger, which was extremely undesirable for a large regional leader like him.

It was too much of a deal, and he couldn't come up with a definite idea of it himself, although his father-in-law had told him before he came to the United States a few years ago that he would be in charge of the place, and even scraped together $10 million in cash for him at the time, which was almost all Nintendo's family based on what he knew about Nintendo at the time.

It can be seen that his father-in-law trusted him unconditionally at that time.

However, this time is not the same as in the past, it was a situation of breaking the cauldron and dying without a fight, and now Nintendo has got rid of the predicament and is doing a good job, and North America is the top priority of whether the company can develop into a world-class enterprise, which cannot be lost, and I cannot afford to take this responsibility.

So, Minoru Arakawa dialed his father-in-law's house and wanted the Nintendo owner to make a decision.

Although it was early in the morning in Japan, after he dialed the phone twice, a tired but extremely calm voice came from the other end of the phone, and as soon as Minoru Arakawa heard this voice, he immediately knew that his father-in-law had not slept until now, and he must be waiting for him to give him news about the CES exhibition.

"President." Yamauchi Pu is a very domineering person, otherwise he would not have the nickname of tyrant, and in the future, he will have an undisputed position in Nintendo and even in the Japanese game industry, and when he is in the company or when discussing company affairs, even if he is close to him, he must call his position.

"Something's wrong?" Yamauchi's voice was not loud, but it sounded a kind of majesty to Arakawa, and when he heard his father-in-law's question, it was as if his father-in-law had really appeared in front of him, staring at him with that pair of cold and merciless eyes wearing dark glasses, and immediately stood up straight.

"Yes." Arakawa didn't dare to say any nonsense, and replied respectfully.

Yamauchi Pu on the other side seemed to be silent, and for nearly a minute Arakawa didn't hear any reply, until he felt that the other side had hung up, and his father-in-law's majestic voice sounded again.

"Then you can talk about it."

Yamauchi's words were concise and to the point, and Minoru Arakawa recounted the whole thing on the phone to his father-in-law, the real head of Nintendo, in as simple a language as possible.

After listening to Minoru Arakawa's account, Yamauchi fell into a longer silence, and this time his voice did not ring again until more than five minutes later, but it was clear that the man at the helm of saving Nintendo several times from crisis had not come up with a better way in this short period of time.

"Just do as you say." Yamauchi Pu first said very indifferently, and then his tone suddenly became cold, "Arakawa, you must know that in the game industry, performance is not the key, the most important thing is the game!" Those people buy our consoles to play games, you have to understand this, don't lose faith. ”

"Yes, President." Minoru Arakawa's tone was still respectful.

Then, the two had a brief exchange of words about the trial sale in New York after the exhibition, and then hung up the phone.

Minoru Arakawa immediately dialed his company's phone and gave his instructions in stern terms to the person who answered the phone at his company: "Send an official letter to Mars Entertainment in the name of our company, asking them to apologize to us for the FC simulator incident, otherwise, we will take legal action." ”

Just when Minoru Arakawa had no choice but to deal with the effects of Jester's simulator on them, Jester was facing a lot of questions from the media or enthusiastic players.

"Are you going to make a movie about Sheriff Balotley? I love him so much, he's like Eastwood to me! The question was asked by a child dressed in red and wearing a cowboy hat, and he said it with a wistful look on his face.

"Haha."

Jester smiled first, and then he replied in a very sure tone, "To be honest, I personally would like to see Mr. Sheriff on the big screen and destroy the bad guys, we received a film company that wanted to buy the copyright of "Sheriff Balotley", but because of various things and the opening of this exhibition, I did not contact them, but my personal opinion is that we can't negotiate with them about the copyright of "Sheriff Balotley", and we will start filming independently." ”

After he said this, the audience suddenly burst into cheers, and it was obvious that many people liked his answer.

Then, a person with a media badge was called by name.

This is a very casually dressed young man, wearing a pair of glasses, red hair, probably of Nordic blood, but very handsome, without the ruggedness of the Nordics.

"I'm an NBC reporter, and I'd like to ask if ATI's 16-bit graphics card will be sold to other compatible computer manufacturers, and if they use ATI's graphics card, will the users who buy these manufacturers' PCs be able to play the games of the next era?"

After hearing this question, Jester first pursed his lips, he didn't know whether to say it so early, but the other party asked this question, and he replied without comment, then it inevitably seemed a little weak, which is not in line with his personal character, and in the user who originally wanted to buy his own high-end gaming computer, after hearing this question, maybe he will also change his mind.

Thinking of this, Jester cleared his throat and decided to reveal his next plans for his high-end brand computer to be irrelevant.

"Yes, Mr. reporter, what you said is very good, the effect of the picture is based on the processing power of the display chip and the CPU, theoretically speaking, any computer manufacturer as long as it can produce such a specification of personal computers, of course, can also experience the game screen of the next era - if there is a game company will make such a game for them."

As soon as Jester finished saying this, there was a buzz from under the stage, and they didn't understand, what does it mean that if a game company would make such a game for them? Isn't Prince of Persia: Sands of Time the game you're about to release just like that?

"Huh."

Jester didn't explain the question directly, but smiled a little, took a sip of water from the glass next to him, and moistened his dry lips and throat before continuing to explain.

"The reason why we used the DOS operating system to do this simulation demo level this time was that we were in a hurry and didn't have enough time to make an operating system exclusive to us, but this operating system will definitely be available in the future, which means that the "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" we made can only run on our operating system."

"So are you making a profit by doing this? You know, because of the price, the sales of your kind of computer will definitely not be too high, and the development of such an excellent game, the need to invest in research and development is certainly not a small amount, I have seen reports before, your company's "Avengers" project total research and development costs, has exceeded two million dollars. The reporter continued to ask questions on this issue with some confusion.

"Let me correct you first, the total R&D cost of Avengers that we have calculated internally is $3.4 million so far, and our total budget for the promotion of this game will not be lower than that." Jester first corrected the author's mistake, and then went on to explain, "Also, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time will have a castrated Dreambox version of the graphics, which does not affect the experience of the game's story, I re-emphasize that I am going to make such a PC specifically for games, just to want players with the conditions to feel in advance what the next era of games will be like." ”

At this time, a new questioner was called, this is a beautiful reporter with long pale yellow hair, fair skin, and a beige trench coat. RS
