Yokoi's talent and vision are undoubted, and he can see the key to this matter at a glance.

It's not that Yamauchi Pu and Uemura Masayuki didn't see it, but because the time was too short, their attention was not on it, but it was Yokoi Junpei, who was temporarily idle, who saw the crux of the problem.

Then, the gloomy look on Yamauchi's face also disappeared, and he continued to ask with a little apology: "Yokoi, if you have anything else to say, just keep talking, I have done too much before, but now is not the past, I can't ignore a qiē and ruin the boat like I did at the beginning." ”

Hearing Yamauchi Pu say this kind of thing, Yokoi Junhei's expressionless face also changed slightly, although Yamauchi Pu's words just now only had a hint of apology, but this is the first time Yokoi Junhei has come to Nintendo for so many years to see his president admit his mistakes to his subordinates.

Although it is very tactful and subtle.

However, Yokoi Gunpei's feelings for Nintendo have been slowly cultivated from the day he entered Nintendo twenty years ago to the present, and although he has some prejudices against Yamauchi because of recent events, he still has sincere feelings for Nintendo.

So, he licked his lips, moistened his lips slightly, and continued: "Facing the interview of sixteen hosts, Mars Entertainment should be more anxious than us, we don't need to talk about him in this matter, I heard you talk a lot about cooperating with Sony just now, you are worried about this, worried about that, to be honest, for an electrical giant like Sony, it is not difficult to make a sixteen-bit game console at all, they cooperate with us, It's just that we value our market share in Japan and our game development capabilities. ”

These two points, in fact, Yamauchi Pu and Masayuki Uemura have also talked about it before, but they don't care about it, because these things are not overnight, and they can agree to participate in the development of game consoles with Sony. But it was absolutely impossible to agree to let the people from Sony work together on the development of the game.

Fortunately, when Ken Kutaragi discussed with Yamauchi before, he didn't put forward too unorthodox ideas, and the demands they put forward were also acceptable to Yamauchi.

However, the reason why he was still hesitating before he followed Masayuki Uemura was that if he changed to CD-ROM, the cost would rise, which was what made him hesitate, which Yokoi Junhei also considered, so he didn't say this. And just a little bit.

"Ask Sony how much the cost would have been reduced if our new console had been using their CD-ROM."

This sentence also made Yamauchi Pu make up his mind, Sony took the initiative to seek their cooperation, of course, they have their own purposes, but since Sony wants to gain benefits from them, then they must also pay, as for the technical aspect, it is secondary, the most critical. Sony's brand advantage in the whole world, especially in the North American market.

Few Japanese companies have a high reputation in Europe and the United States, and Sony is one of them.

Jester's trip to England to meet Manchester United's owner Edwards was also successful, and he also met the current Manchester United manager. Alexei. Ferguson.

However, the current Ferguson is not the Sir Alex Ferguson who everyone knows in world football, his current Manchester United is in dire straits, and he is constantly attacked by Manchester United fans, so to speak. He didn't know if he could be sure if he would be in the United manager's seat tomorrow.

And at the most dire time for Manchester United, the company took the initiative to talk about the renewal of the advertisement, and took the initiative to increase the renewal amount by as much as 30% according to the unspoken rules. This really made him unable to figure it out.

When Jester met Ferguson, his idol in his previous life, his mood was very calm, unlike when he had just crossed into this world, and seeing a random character he had only seen and heard about on books and television networks could make him feel emotional.

Now he is a successful person, he has become the idol of countless people, the American media in the United States to engage in a number of solicitations, he is the first American teen idol, and the second is Bill who agreed to work with him to develop the graphics operating system. Gates.

Moreover, Jester has not been in the UK for much time this time, and there are still many things to deal with in the United States, so his meeting with Ferguson was held at Manchester United Club, and by the way, he also visited Manchester United's Honor Room, of course, there are very few trophies in the Honor Room now, and the most conspicuous position is the trophy of the Big Ears Cup they got more than 20 years ago.

Looking at the shabby appearance in the honor room, Jester, who has been in the glory of Manchester United since he became a Manchester United fan, is extremely uncomfortable.

It was only when Jester visited Manchester United and Old Trafford, Manchester United's home stadium, that he remembered that their company didn't have a reliable football game at the moment, not that there was no Dreambox, and EA had all kinds of games on sale.

And the game that has just joined the Dreambox game development camp is being developed recently is a football game, which is based on the anime of the same name that is extremely popular in Japan, called "Angel Wings", this game Jester has heard of, although this game is full of Japanese ignorance of football, but it is undeniable that if you throw out the element of football, then this game is still good.

Full of romantic fantasy, and in Jester's eyes, as long as it can be liked, at least this game called "Angel Wings" has made many people who were originally not interested in football embark on the road to football, and eventually become a generation of superstars.

For example, Sergio Aguero.

But to be honest, although this game has a lot of fans in Europe and South America, the main fans and audience are still in Japan, and as far as Jester knows, the influence of this game in Japan is also very large, and the sales are also very high, and the specific sales of the first game in Japan Jester doesn't remember too clearly, after all, it's not a mainstream game, but it should be close to two million.

They also knew where the audience for their game was, and they saw the hot sales of Technos-Japan's popular series on FC, especially after the hot sale of "Hot Blooded Soccer" in Japan, they also came up with the idea of making a soccer game.

After all, for a game company that is not well-known, it is much easier to succeed in making a genre game than in making a popular game.

Although Technos-Japan's "Hot Blood Series" is selling well in Japan, it is not popular at all in Europe and the United States, which also makes the pants demon not have much interest in facing Jester's Mars Entertainment at the beginning, and wants to join the FC camp with all his heart.

It is because FC's market share in Japan is much higher than that of Dreambox that it makes the pants demon so.

But after all, it is the falling flowers that are intentionally ruthless, Nintendo turns a blind eye to the flattery of the pants demon, and the conditions prescribed to them are quite bad, and on the other hand, on the side of Mars Entertainment, the treatment given is much better, and after thinking about it again, the pants off demon still resolutely joined the dreambox camp.

And the reason why Jester specially asked the Mars Entertainment Branch to give this treatment is that he knows the influence of the game "Angel Wings" in Japan, and he also knows that the Pants Breaker is not a company that can only make games that meet the preferences of Japanese people, and they make games that can also make American players addicted.

Because the action game "Ninja Dragon" has been the benchmark for the difficulty of action games from its birth to decades later, and even when Sulfuric Face played the role of the producer of the "Ninja Dragon" series, this action game was praised as the best action game in the world.

Of course, some fans of Hideki Kamiya may not think so, but that's all, some jumping clowns.

But in other words, Jester deeply knows that the game pattern in Europe and the United States in the future is to pay equal attention to cars, guns and balls, and the most important reason why Microsoft was able to share the world with Sony in the future is because his machine Qì is more suitable for playing rough and brainless games such as cars and balls compared to Sony's PS series.

Especially the ball, the ball games of later generations, especially the sales of football games are very stable, and each production is also very simple, EA's FIFA series is made every year, and the sales of tens of millions of stable dìng are even more smashing the tongue of all manufacturers, because it is equivalent to the energy required to make other games, to make a football game like this, it is much simpler.

However, as far as Jester knows, at least EA has not yet gotten the FIFA trademark from FIFA, and even if it gets this trademark, it may not necessarily be able to become bigger, you know, EA has just started to use FIFA's trademark to make some times, and their football games, whether in terms of quality or sales, are far from the Japanese manufacturer's "Victory Eleven".

The reason why they were able to achieve a tenfold sales record on the PES series in the end is that it is difficult for outsiders to know about the investment and dedication during the period.

And even if it's not the 3D era, the real sports game spring is not up to the process of moving tens of millions of sets, but on the other hand, Nintendo's humble FC game called "Football" has sold nearly one million copies in Japan. (To be continued......) R752
