Regarding Minoru Arakawa, even Shigeru Miyamoto is not qualified to answer.

Therefore, this can only be Yamauchi Pu alone.

But a person has not been sulking for a long time, and after Yamauchi Pu scolded a few words casually, he didn't continue to scold, and soon, Yamauchi Pu asked about the palm machine again.

"By the way, I heard the news that Sega's new handheld is almost finished? I haven't heard anything about Sony. ”

Yamauchi Pu asked casually.

Although he is still in control of Nintendo, the difference from the previous almost every detail is also very big, basically just grasping a general direction, for example, like the current problem, if it is left before, Yamauchi Pu knows faster than anyone else, and it is more detailed than anyone else.

He didn't have to ask his subordinates about it.

Hearing Yamauchi's question, Uemura Masayuki smiled a little disdainfully, and he said to Yamauchi: "President, don't worry about this, I got very specific news, this time Sega, their palm machine, uses a color screen." ”

"Color screen?"

Hearing Masayuki Uemura say this word, Yamauchi's eyebrows quickly wrinkled.

He glanced at Masayuki Uemura again, and found that his right-hand man seemed to be a little disdainful of Sega's so-called ↘ color screen, which made Yamauchi Pu's heart even more puzzled, isn't the color screen more advanced technology, if Sega did it, in all fairness, Yamauchi Pu felt that if he was his own buyer, he would definitely buy this kind of color screen.

Masayuki Uemura also saw the question of his president.

He immediately answered: "Actually, the reason why I am not optimistic about them is very simple, the first is the cost, the cost of using color LCD screens to manufacture palm computers is much higher than ours, but this is not an unsolvable thing." As long as it can lead the trend like Sony's waklkman, then the price is much more expensive than ours, and as long as there is enough good game support, it may not be able to break a way......"

"But ......"

Speaking of this, Masayuki Uemura paused slightly, and when he saw Pu Yamauchi's expression, he also became serious, and he didn't need to be urged by his boss, so Masayuki Uemura continued.

"However, the color screen requires just too much power. In terms of portability and durability, they simply can't make players feel that this is a game console that can be played anytime and anywhere, which is the most deadly. ”

Seeing that there was still a puzzled look on Yamauchi's face, Masayuki Uemura simply gave an example: "Let me give you an example, you can understand that if our black-and-white LCD screen palm machine can allow players to continue to use it for four to five hours before the battery needs to be replaced, then in the same battery situation, Sega's kind of palm machine." It may only last for an hour, and an hour of handheld machine has no value. ”

"So ......"

After hearing Masayuki Uemura's explanation, Pu Yamauchi nodded with some clarity on his face. However, he still had some questions, so after nodding his head, he continued to ask: "So." What about joining Sega with twice as many batteries as we do? ”

"Huh."

Hearing Yamauchi Pu ask, Masayuki Uemura smiled indifferently again: "If they do this, then how heavy will their palms be?" Lost the value of portability. ”

After Masayuki Uemura finished speaking. Yamauchi didn't have too many comments.

He just nodded and said, "Okay." ”

He then asks Shigeru Miyamoto when he can develop a tailor-made zuò for their Nintendo's handheld. And Shigeru Miyamoto also answered very sure, and now the game of the handheld machine is also in the making, and it will not take two months at most to complete.

At this time, Yamauchi Pu couldn't help but think of the scene when Mars Entertainment was released.

"The game "American Cubes", now that I think about it, is really a game born for the palm console." Hearing Yamauchi's exclamation, everyone present nodded at the same time, they all knew how much Mars Entertainment's "American Cube" contributed to Gameboy, Mars Entertainment's palm machine, in the early days of release.

It is said that after the first few months of its release, almost 60 percent, if not 70 percent, of game-buying Gameboy players did so that they could play American Cubes anytime, anywhere, in any situation.

Mars Entertainment Headquarters, USA.

Jester heard his assistant's words, and then he turned to Mark. Saini smiled: "Mark, you go about your own business first, I'll receive the reporters of "Game" first, and let them give me a simple interview." ”

Now Jester doesn't know that at this time, Nintendo has developed their new handheld machine, and is discussing how to occupy a place in the handheld market, in fact, this is also an inevitable thing, because there is only one Mars entertainment in the current handheld market.

And such a vast market, it is impossible for a single enterprise to occupy it.

Of course, even if Jester knows, he doesn't care, because he holds Mario's Balotelli series and PM series in his hands, which have been tested in practice for decades in the palm of his hand, and are almost the most influential games in this field.

Not afraid of any competitor at all.

You know, even after the next twenty or thirty years, the most competitive games for handheld consoles are only the PM series and Capcom's MH series.

And according to the current handheld technology, it is impossible to develop a real fighting game.

Therefore, as long as there is PM in hand, basically, on the palm machine, other companies can only drink some soup.

The "game" reporter who came to interview Jester also went to interview Richard before. Garrett's young man, but he was far from being in front of Jester, but he was far from being in front of Richard. Garrett was so arrogant in front of him, when he entered the room, he bowed respectfully to Jester, and only after Jester asked him to sit down did he dare to sit down on the sofa.

"Actually, asking you to do an interview is just a pretext, the main thing is that you listen to my thoughts, and then write a manuscript of an interview by yourself according to my ideas."

Jester said lightly.

The reporter of "Game" immediately nodded and did not express the slightest objection.

Moreover, as the owner of "Game", how could the reporter of "Game" express his dissatisfaction in front of Jester? This is absolutely impossible, he is just a wage earner who obeys orders.

"My request is actually very simple, I want to talk to Richard in this interview. Garrett's article was put together so that it was comparable, and since he said that I was sorry for who I am by making games like Runestone Guardians, I was eager to ask him, what kind of game did he think I should make? ”

"Also, if he thinks his work is a work of art, then I'll make a bet with him, didn't his fans make a bet with my fans, it's about the sales of these two games, although it's just getting started, but the victory of Runestone Guardian is basically a certainty."

"In this case, I will make a bet with him, he is not willing to use sales as a comparison, then we don't need to compare sales, we will use what he said is a game with depth to compare, I think he also knows that at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, because the time is still uncertain, so I don't dare to guarantee the exact time, the first World GDC Conference will be held, that is, the World Game Developers Conference, at this conference, there will be several awards."

"For example, the best game of the year, the best game of the year in various genres, let's bet on it and see if the work can win this award - of course, if we don't get it, then the selection criteria will be who gets the nomination, and of course, if we don't get nominated for both, then even if I lose, after all, this is my bet."

"I don't know, though, Richard. Mr. Garrett, the 'great' game designer who thinks his game is a work of art, would he dare to make this bet with me? ”

With that, Jester sneered.

And the reporter of "Game" also recorded Jester's words word for word.

Soon, a week later, the latest edition of Game magazine was released.

And once again, the reporters found Richard. Garrett, and he'd heard about Jester's gamble before.

To be honest, because in the last year or two, there have been no games that have particularly shocked the four people, and Jester's "Age of Empires" is unparalleled because of its groundbreaking advantages, whether it is word-of-mouth, sales, or impact on developers in the industry.

Basically, the game of the year for a few years, that's pretty much it.

And Richard. Garrett would never make that bet.

But he said before that Jester's game has no depth, of course, he said that he was talking about "Rune Guardian" before, but if Jester doesn't care about his premise, he can't justify it.

In the face of reporters' inquiries about Jester's personal mention of this gambling game, he was really hard to answer for a while. (To be continued......) R752
