Chapter 495: Nintendo's Palm Machine

"Smack!"

Early in the morning, Mark. Saini rushed to Jester's office with a large stack of manuscript paper full of letters, and then slammed his contents on Jester's desk.

Then, in a rage, he cursed ugly words.

"That Richard. What is Garrett? Or to say that our games don't have depth? ”

Jester was still seriously writing something on the paper, and when he saw Mark. After Saini, he just glanced up at the other and smiled.

"Don't be so angry, you've also read the one about Richard that the game is about to publish. Garrett's interview? ”

Mark. Seni nodded heavily.

"Huh."

Jester still chuckled indifferently, and he said lightly, "I didn't think of Richard this time. Garrett will tear the skin directly, saying such a bad thing, if we don't fight back, maybe other people will also think of us as sick cats. ”

Saying that, Jester sighed again: "Actually, I personally don't like this kind of mouth cannon the most, it doesn't make sense at all. ”

Jester rubbed his forehead as he spoke.

Although Mars Entertainment is now unique in the game industry, and the World Video Game Association organized by Jester seems to have the power of life and death in the video game industry, after all, now after the three console platforms are united, they do not give third parties the right to develop games, so third parties do not have the right to develop games.

Such a game company can only survive on PC games.

In this era, the gap between the sales of PC games and the sales of console games is naturally incomparable.

However, the World Video Game Association is not Jester's alone, and if he wants to deprive a full member of the right to participate in the development of console games, the entire association needs to meet and discuss, and all permanent directors of the entire association must vote.

And Sega and Sony. It's impossible to just let yourself do whatever you want.

If you casually punish a person who criticizes your game and a game company, not only will you be rejected by them, but you will definitely be laughed at.

"What are you going to do?"

Mark. Saini was still a little murderous when he spoke, and he also knew that it was impossible for Jester to borrow the power of the World Electronics Association, and Weizhen also knew that otherwise, they would not fail to take Jester seriously.

"I'll arrange an interview with me with Game in a moment."

Jester said helplessly, he personally didn't think of a particularly good method, but after being sprayed by others, he didn't spray it back. In the eyes of many people, it's a little too cowardly, and this time the other party obviously divided the game into metaphysics.

Saying that his game is just a fast-moving consumer goods, that is, commonly known as an industrial product, and although Richard. Garrett didn't say what his game was, but it was clear that Keeper of the Rune Stone was a commodity game without any depth, so what his game would be in his own eyes was self-evident.

Artwork!

When I think about it, Mark. Senny's face also showed an extremely disdainful and mocking expression: "Richard. Garrett was so blind that he thought what he was doing. How much did he contribute to the discovery of video games today? ”

The more he talked, the more irritated he became.

Mark. Saini slapped the table as he spoke.

"If it weren't for our attempt to complete the scrolling motion on the PC system, maybe he would still be playing on still screens...... What is it! ”

Jester wasn't impressed.

In fact, this kind of personal grudge against the people of zuò was often seen in later generations, especially some Japanese designers. Full of personality, Jing'an sprays indiscriminately, the most famous is the confrontation between Hideki Kamiya and Itagaki Companion about the Devil May Cry series and the ninja dragon series.

Almost all sides are pointing at each other and saying that each other's games are rubbish.

"By the way, how are you preparing for the first E3 exhibition in June?"

Jester didn't want to go on on with that. It wasn't a big deal in the first place, and all he could do now was laugh at Richard. Garrett played it, and then had "Game" publish it in his interview alongside his one.

It's sure to have a very different effect.

Mark. Saini scolded for a while, and enough was enough. After all, Jester didn't show anything about it, and it was not very appropriate for him to continue scolding, and when he heard Jester ask him about E3, he nodded: "We have started to prepare, the location we chose is the Los Angeles Convention and Exhibition Center, and we originally wanted to go to the Anaheim Convention and Exhibition Center, which we often go, but there, to be a world-class exhibition area, it is still a little small, so in the end, it was decided that it was the Los Angeles Convention and Exhibition Center." ”

"Well, I don't have much time in the future, and I'm going to get married soon, so this time I'll leave the E3 to you to organize."

Jester nodded and said a word of thanks.

In fact, E3 is a world game exhibition belonging to the World Video Game Association, and it is also the first dedicated world game exhibition, but because of the result of discussions with Sony Sega, this is also a battle for video game practitioners.

The E3 exhibition held in the United States is mainly prepared by Mars Entertainment, while Sega Sony will do some auxiliary work.

For example, the Tokyo Game Show is scheduled for autumn.

This is an exhibition for all players, and the number of visitors will definitely be a little larger, but generally speaking, game companies still mainly give players to experience games at the Tokyo Convention Show, and the E3 exhibition is a heavyweight news released by exhibitors.

The Tokyo Game Show was jointly organized by Sony and Sega.

Mark. Saini shook his head indifferently: "It's just the beginning of preparations, there is nothing to be busy with, and fortunately, we have accumulated experience in holding two carnivals, although it is not the same thing as E3, but after all, it is also two large gatherings, and we have some experience." ”

After a slight pause, Mark. Saini added: "But in a few weeks, there will be a large number of exhibitors applying for booths, and then it will be busy." ”

Jester wasn't impressed.

"In the first session, even if something goes wrong, it's okay, just to accumulate experience for the future."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Jester said please come in, and it was his assistant who came in: "Boss, the reporter from the "Game" magazine you made an appointment with is here. ”

At the same time, Japan is far away from the Pacific Ocean.

Japan is not the main sales area for PC games, and it can even be described as a desert, so this time "Rune Guardian" has no plans to be released in Japan. Garrett's mutual spray war didn't cause much of an uproar in the Japanese gaming world.

After all, although there is a network now, it is still a few years before the completion of the transpacific fiber optic cable, and there is no comparison with Japan's network conditions, and there is no recent game publication on sale, so it is normal for Japanese people not to know.

Kyoto, Nintendo.

Since announcing his resignation, Yamauchi let his son-in-law take over the Nintendo position, and this is the first time that he has come to Nintendo's headquarters.

Of course, everyone knows, although Yamauchi is still the real controller of Nintendo.

It's late at night in Japan time, and the Nintendo headquarters building, except for the hardware development center, is dark in other places, and in the development room of the hardware development center, there are many famous and famous people from Nintendo.

Like Shigeru Miyamoto and Masayuki Uemura, they are also here.

On a table in front of them, there are several palm machines about the size of a palm, and then the thickness is slightly thicker than the human palm, in terms of appearance, it is very similar to the gameboy in the original history, of course, in this era, the easy-to-understand name of gameboy already belongs to the palm machine of Mars Entertainment.

Yamauchi Pu insisted on coming to Nintendo so late, just for the few handheld machines in front of him.

In Yamauchi's view, this is an opportunity for Nintendo to take off again.

Although those led by Jester banned the development of Nintendo's game console, Yamauchi's insistence and Sony's concern that Mars Entertainment would become bigger and bigger in the handheld market and form a monopoly situation, supported Nintendo to retain the right to develop handheld consoles.

In the past few years, the sales of Mars Entertainment's Gameboy consoles have been rising, and Yamauchi Pu has also thoroughly understood one thing.

That is, this palm-sized machine can bring Nintendo back to life.

You know, more than a year and less than two years ago, Nintendo was still a well-deserved hegemon in the Japanese console market, and it monopolized 60% of all market shares.

But now, Nintendo, which was once glorious, is nothing more than a slightly more powerful third party.

This change in status made Yamauchi Pu simply intolerable.

He almost always thinks about how Nintendo can get the opportunity to rise again in this situation, and the continuous expansion of the handheld market makes him see this opportunity.

He admits that before, he did underestimate the potential of the handheld market. (To be continued......) R1292
