Chapter 432: Thoughts

At present, the gameboy has many shortcomings, the biggest one, for example, after the installation of four No. 5 batteries, the palm machine that was originally designed to be carried lightly still seems a little heavy, and for example, the black and white screen, now it looks a little outdated.

Thinking of the black and white screen, Ken Kutaragi seemed to have thought of something, he seemed to know the reason why Sega hadn't come up with a handheld machine that could be sold for a while, and the biggest possibility was that they were developing a feasible handheld machine with a color screen.

Is it hard to have a color screen?

In Ken Kutaragi's view,It's not difficult at all,The difficulty is that the color screen needs more power supply than the black and white screen,Now the gameboy of the black and white screen of Mars Entertainment needs four No. 5 batteries,How many pieces will it take to ensure the same battery life if you change to a color screen?

Eight or ten?

This Kutara Mujian can't say clearly,This needs to look at the size of the color screen for testing,But Kutara Kiken knows,If you can't solve the battery life problem,Then the color screen palm machine is not feasible,You can even say unceremoniously,As long as the power problem of battery life is not solved,Then the color screen palm machine will come out,It will definitely die。

This is also the reason why Kutaragi Ken did not let Sony's R&D personnel carry out the research and development of the palm machine.

Because in Kutaragi Kenyan, Sony's biggest advantage is that its technical research and development strength is much stronger than that of "Mars Entertainment and Sega", whether it is on the home machine, or in any aspect, but the bottleneck of the handheld machine is now very large, and it is not difficult to develop a mobile phone that is more advanced than the gameboy.

The difficulty is that I don't have such a strong game development strength as Mars Entertainment, and I can support an entire platform by myself.

Unless the handheld machine he developed can make his opponent look forward to it and win the game in one fell swoop, he will be able to win in a short time. It is unlikely to intervene in the field of handheld computers to compete with Mars Entertainment.

Moreover, Kutaragi Ken is not very optimistic about Sega's efforts in this regard, he feels that the current direction of Sega's efforts is wrong, indeed, players do want color screen palm computers, this is not because players are tired of black and white screen mobile phones, this is just like color TV instead of black and white TV, color film instead of black and white movie, it is a natural replacement.

The problem is that you have to have a color screen that fully matches all the other indicators of a black and white screen.

At least in this decade. In Kutaragi's view, it is difficult to do, this is difficult to do, not to say that it can't be done, if you don't hesitate to do it, use carbon fiber as a frame, and use Panasonic's latest storage battery technology in energy, it can still be completed.

But the cost can only be hehe.

However, it seems that Sega has no intention of giving up. This is indeed the case, after all, Mars Entertainment has proved how large the market size of the handheld machine is, and it is almost completely occupied by Mars Entertainment to see such a huge market. As their backyard to circle money, no one can bear it.

But who told people to enter the market early, and have already completed the market occupation with a few high-quality games in the early days?

In short, Kutaragi Ken is not optimistic about Sega's efforts in the palm of his hand. On the contrary, it was Nintendo, and Ken Kutaragi thought they had a lot to offer.

One of Nintendo's requests to agree to completely withdraw from the home console market was a guarantee that would not hinder them from entering the handheld market. Although Jester was very reluctant at the time, he and Hayao Nakayama didn't want to see Jester too moisturized on the palm of his hand, so they discussed it and teamed up to get Nintendo's request.

This incident was very unpleasant to Jester at the time.

At that time, Kutaragi Ken was still a little puzzled, but when I soon thought about it again, I came back to my senses, because he suddenly found that this kind of fragmented game development was very suitable for Nintendo's development style, and Nintendo's biggest weakness was their hardware development capabilities.

On the palm machine that does not require too advanced development technology, it can be used to the fullest.

At least it won't be inferior to Mars Entertainment.

After thinking of this, Kutaragi Ken was a little abrupt, no wonder Jester was angry at that time, it turned out that his inadvertent move with Hayabusa Nakayama actually hit him directly on the soft underbelly.

However, in Kutaragi Ken's view, even if Nintendo is suitable for the development of handheld games, this is just a trivial trouble for Mars Entertainment's share in the handheld market, and this is the reason why he doesn't want Sony to get involved in the handheld market now.

That is, unless they can be ten times better than Mars Entertainment, otherwise, it is impossible to shake their share of the handheld machine market.

The trend has been achieved.

In Sony's many years of experience, this kind of way of relying on the general trend to stabilize the situation and strangle the opponent, he has seen too much, just when he was thinking, he also picked up a gameboy and played it in his hand, and there is a chain behind this gameboy locked on the top of the cabinet, in case someone takes it away.

The cassette inserted in this Gameboy is a series of "Super Balotelli", and Ken Kutaragi also likes this game that both adults and children can experience a lot of fun, and he often plays with his son at home, this is the first time he has played with a handheld console.

He was surprised to find,The smoothness of the operation of the palm machine,It's no worse than the home machine,Although the picture is black and white,But the picture is still very exquisite,The player can clearly distinguish the characters inside,And,You can also pause at any time,You can even save the archive,It should be the reason why there is a memory chip in the gameboy for storage。

After connecting the three levels and knowing that all three lives were dead, Kutaragi Kencai put the palm machine in his hand on the top of the cabinet reluctantly.

"An inventive invention that penetrates the heart."

Before, he had only heard that he had personally tried and operated it, and it was really the first time for Ken Kutaragi, but even if it was the first time, Ken Kutaragi still deeply felt the charm of this small toy in his hand, and the person who could think of this idea was simply a mental study of the player to the point of incredible.

It is said that at the beginning, this was Jester's idea in '84, when Mars Entertainment was just founded.

"Could it be that at that time Jester. Li thinks that the handheld machine will inevitably make a big difference in the future? ”

Kutaragi Ken didn't want to believe it, because this answer was too terrible for him, and he couldn't imagine that his main opponent in the future would not only be a game developer who was unparalleled in the world, and all the games he developed were sold well, but more importantly, his insight into the psychology of players.

That's what worries him the most.

Exhaling a breath, Kutaragi Ken calmed down, and when he was about to see what other handheld games were available for trial this time, an image of Jester suddenly appeared on a twenty-nine-inch TV screen not far from him.

Jester stood on a podium that wasn't too tall, not too wide, and behind him was a big screen that was constantly playing recaps of games about Mars Entertainment, starting with their first game, American Cubes, and going on to Super Balotelli, the Avengers, Contra, and so on.

Many of the images of the game are fleeting, and every time a new image appears, there will inevitably be an extremely enthusiastic cheer in the crowd below the podium.

Jester stood on the podium, smiling and cheering.

Kutaragi Ken saw such a live broadcast from the TV screen, and he seemed to suddenly have a feeling in his heart, as if here, Jester was their king, and they, that is, these players, were bowing to their king.

But the thought was fleeting, and Kutaragi shook his head to push the thought out of his mind.

But Jester's image of smiling in the face of the tsunami lingered in his mind, and even, a scene that made him feel ridiculous flashed in his mind, that is, he seemed to be standing on a rostrum, and below the stage were thousands of players cheering wildly, and the object of their cheers was no longer Jester, but himself.

Although this thought was only driven out of his mind the moment it appeared again, Kutaragi Ken still couldn't help but clench his fists hard, and even he didn't know if he was just telling himself not to think nonsense, or reminding him that this was his future goal and dream.

In short, Ken Kutaragi was standing there, his eyes staring directly at the TV screen.

On the TV screen, a review of the history of Mars entertainment has also been played on the big screen behind Jester, but the cheers of the audience have already been loud and noisy, and on the big screen, there is also a sign that welcomes you to the Mars Entertainment Carnival.

Jester's constant movement of the author's hands down, trying to make the audience and players calm for a while, obviously, he has something to say.

But the players at the scene were so excited, especially the game replays of Mars Entertainment that appeared on the big screen just now, which made their innermost memories come back again, and they were even more excited, so it wasn't until Jester pressed down four or five times in a row that the players were completely quiet.
