Chapter 342: Sega's Palm Machine Progress

Sega has also been developing handheld machines in the past six months, and the requirements put forward by Hayabusa Nakayama are very high, very high.

The first release of the sixteen-bit machine, as well as the good momentum, made him feel that they could make a product that was far stronger than their competitors, and compared to the sixteen-bit machine on the eight-bit machine, whether it was from the quality of the game, the evaluation of players, or in the sales of the same period, advanced technology can always bring great advantages.

On the top of the handheld machine, Hayao Nakayama thinks the same.

It's all game consoles, so why can't they make the same analogy? The point is,Gameboy is very good,Basically, at this cost,At this price,It's very difficult to do better than them,And,If you want to use a sixteen-bit display chip on the palm machine,Then the price will be very expensive,The most important thing,It's impossible to make it so small。

Portability is the most important point that Hayakuo Nakayama saw from the gameboy of Mars Entertainment's handheld machine, so in order to ensure portability, he finally gave up the idea of a sixteen-bit chip.

In the end, Hayato Nakayama and the R&D team, the only thing they may be able to significantly lead Mars Entertainment is the color screen.

Color is actually a very good way, the advantage and competitiveness of color handheld compared to black and white handheld in the eyes of Hayao Nakayama, even more than sixteen-bit vs. eight-bit vs. eight-bit machine, similar to color TV vs. black and white TV, this advantage, the attraction of players, will be unparalleled - so, almost the first time I thought of this, Hayao Nakayama gave the development team a dead order about the development of the handheld machine, and it was necessary to make a suitable, color screen that belonged to Sega's handheld machine.

But......

Thinking of his own handheld plan. Hayao Nakayama is as uncomfortable as eating Xiang, because, half a year has passed, and their development team's development of the handheld machine is still only in the sketch design stage, the reason is very simple, they designed it, and it can't be maintained for so long in the case of a gameboy as lightweight.

Moreover, it is not easy to achieve the battery life of electricity, and the color screen is far more battery-intensive than the black and white screen.

Recharging the battery multiple times is not a difficult task for Sega. Now this technology is also a good development, when they followed Nintendo's GW, they only made the world's first commercial rechargeable battery, and now many manufacturers of this kind of battery can do it, and the technology is far better than them, so they may not need to worry much about this item.

This was just their idea in the R&D area, and they didn't do any actual research, and when it came time to design the drawings, after getting samples from several battery companies. They did dozens of experiments and found that neither the company's commonly sold batteries could do it for a long time like a gameboy. And the battery life of the palm machine with the color screen that they are going to make Zuò is likely to be only one-third of that of the Gameboy, and even, maybe a quarter.

Of course, it is impossible to design such a product as a full-fledged design product. But after thinking about it for a few months, I didn't find any better solution to the battery life. This also made Hayao Nakayama a little anxious about this matter, but fortunately, the sales of MD consoles were good during Christmas, and according to the reports fed back from various places, I can't see any advantages over Mars Entertainment in the Japanese market.

But in the North American market, this time its own sixteen hosts almost won a big victory.

Needless to say, Nintendo, which is originally weak in the North American market, even if it is in the North American market, Mars Entertainment, which has almost dominated the world, is also a big defeat in front of itself, which makes Hayabusa Nakayama very excited, and even at Christmas, there are still a few days before New Year's Day, Hayao Nakayama decided to pay out of his own pocket and invite the entire company to the celebration dinner.

Come and celebrate the success of five generations of Sega.

This is something that has not happened since the release of the Sega 5.

However, Hayao Nakayama also knows that the reason why he has been able to take the first place among the three companies in this year's Christmas season, and that he is still leading by a large margin so far, is all relying on his own technological superiority, and that current players, if they want to play 16-bit games, then they have no choice but to buy their MD console.

"Let's look at the gameboy of Mars Entertainment at Christmas."

With a sigh, Hayao Nakayama temporarily put away his thoughts about the handheld machine, although the gameboy that was launched in the second half of the year was selling well during this time, but there were many natural reactions to it when a new product was just launched, and there were many interesting players who were able to do it when it was just released, but then as time went on, it was hard to say.

For example, when Nintendo's GW first came out, it was also popular for a long time, and even Sega couldn't help but want to make a similar one to get a piece of the pie, but the hot time was not long, and it disappeared in less than a year, and whether this time the palm machine can really be hot, we still need to continue to see.

"So be it."

After thinking for a while, Hayao Nakayama felt that he had nothing more to command, so he waved his hand and let his assistant out.

Mars Entertainment's side has great credit for Gameboy, from top to bottom, all of them are true, because in less than half a year since Gameboy was listed, the sales were too hot, and the players' evaluation of Gameboy was also very high, plus, this time there was Jester himself as the author of the game to boost Gameboy sales.

How could this qiē not be enough, the Gameboy will be slaughtering all sides during the Christmas season.

Coupled with its portability, fun, and ease of playing anytime, anywhere, the Gameboy will undoubtedly be the best Christmas gift.

At more than a dozen flagship stores in the United States, they receive at least a thousand inquiries every day about whether there will be a Gameboy release during the Christmas season, and after receiving an affirmative answer from Mars Entertainment, their excitement can be heard clearly even if it is a phone call.

The release date of Pokemon is Christmas Day.

And on December 24th, it is the traditional Christmas Eve in Europe and the United States, but even in the cold winter, in front of the flagship stores of Mars Entertainment in many North American cities, after dinner, they began to queue up one after another, you know, this queue has to be lined up all night, if it is summer, it is better, but now it is a cold winter, the temperature at night is minus five or six degrees, and there has just been a heavy snowfall.

Such perseverance is also admirable.

After Jester got the report of the flagship store staff about this, he immediately felt that this should be an opportunity, of course, it must not be an early release, saying that it was December 25, then it must be December 25, what Jester did was to let each flagship store that was ready to launch leave a few employees, and picked up a large number of coffee and blankets from the company's inventory that were ready to make charitable donations in the name of the company.

Free distribution to players who stay up late and queue up for the first time to buy their games.

Of course, Jester must not have done this for no reason, he immediately asked people to contact ABC TV, ready to provide ABC TV with a special news, the content of the news, naturally, Mars Entertainment, on Christmas Eve, took the initiative to buy the game for the first time, and stayed up late to queue up for the player, is this hype? Of course it is, but are players getting the benefits? Of course I did.

Therefore, Jester is naturally comfortable with hype.

Sure enough, that night, the players queuing in front of more than a dozen flagship stores of Mars Entertainment cheered even more after knowing that Mars Entertainment would offer to provide them with warm blankets and as many hot coffee as they wanted.

Because of the time difference, the game has been officially released in Japan when Americans are still waiting in line to buy Pokemon.

And the release form of "Pokemon", Jester fully refers to the collection of Nintendo play in later generations, of course, because it is the first work, it will definitely not be as unscrupulous as Nintendo does, full of complaints, and the original history of "Pokemon", this time Jester's "Pokemon" is also divided into two versions, one is "Pokemon. Red", and the other is Pokemon. Blue.

The two versions of red and blue, in terms of game content, don't have much essential difference, but it's on the Pokemon that can be tamed inside, and each version has so many different than a dozen, and, under Jester's suggestion, the development team has also made a lot of crazy settings for the gameplay of the game that players, especially collectors, like.

There are several particularly rare and powerful divine beasts, which can only be obtained by relying on the red version and the blue version to connect with each other.

Even some hidden plots,It's also set.,Only when it's online.,And it must be a different version.,In a specific location,To be able to punish.,In these hidden plots,Not only have you the opportunity to meet rare Pokemon,There is also a chance to get some very rare props,For example,If you want to capture a Pokemon at the level of a divine beast,The necessary master ball。 (To be continued......)
