Chapter 547: Seeking The Legend of Zelda

After consulting with Shigeru Miyamoto, Jester agreed to Shigeru Miyamoto's plan.

The team he formed after joining Mars was chosen by himself, which was supposed to be, but it was always invited from people in the company who were willing to join, but Shigeru Miyamoto wanted to find him from his former colleagues at Nintendo.

Jester has no problem with this.

Moreover, now Nintendo's family has also changed, and Minoru Arakawa has made it clear this time that he wants to sell Nintendo's game business for strategic transformation, and he doesn't care what Jester transforms into, what he cares about is the game development talents that Nintendo now has in his hands and the copyrights of many games.

Especially The Legend of Zelda.

With the careful management of Shigeru Miyamoto, this game has now almost become a series that can be as famous as several RPG games of his own, and even surpasses.

Naturally, I didn't pay attention to the RPG series that I had made before Zuò over the years.

And the level of others is very different from Shigeru Miyamoto.

Although it is said that with Shigeru Miyamoto, it will certainly not be difficult to make a better new IP in the future, but if you can get the copyright of "The Legend of Zelda", which has a huge influence in Europe, America and Japan, then why not.

Of course, this is not a simple matter.

Now/The people who are staring at the series rights of "The Legend of Zelda" are not only themselves, Sony, Sega, but they are all greedy.

However, I still have an advantage over them, that is, what I want, what I am bound to get, in fact, there is only the copyright of "The Legend of Zelda".

And after consulting Nintendo, it seems that Arakawa doesn't want to sell the copyright of "Zelda" as much as possible, because in his eyes, this can almost be said to be one of the first few of Nintendo's game copyrights. And there is a lot to want.

In this case, if you don't open your mouth, how can you be worthy of the title of Minoru Arakawa's pretentious genius businessman.

But Jester didn't want to make the other party cheap.

Although there are many companies that want to get "The Legend of Zelda", the real competitive ones are Mars Entertainment, Sony and Sega, and the others are all clowns, which is not enough evidence at all, and these people don't even have the courage to stand up and compete directly.

That's the benefit of forming the World Electronics Association.

It seems that all members can enjoy the profits of the whole platform, but when they are given these profits, they also take away some of their power.

That is, I want to stay in the association in peace. Then don't challenge the authority of Mars Entertainment, Sega and Sony, otherwise, it will definitely be sanctioned by these three companies.

For example, don't compete head-to-head with these three companies.

In fact, this association is like a kind of deformed trust, and it is even more terrifying than a trust.

Jester didn't want Arakawa to sit on the ground and raise the price, so he could only negotiate with Sony and Nintendo. Then they compromised with each other, and Jester didn't believe that the two of them were like himself, and they were only bound to get The Legend of Zelda.

After all, there are still a lot of games that Nintendo is famous for.

It's still difficult to communicate face-to-face. After all, this is not a big deal, and Hayayao Nakayama and Ken Kutaragi can't come to the United States casually.

And Jester has a lot of things going on lately, and it's impossible to fly to Japan casually.

So, you can only have one conference call.

The three parties have negotiated on several fronts. Sony and Sega are also very interested in this matter, after all, Nintendo was a few years ago. Or a behemoth that can compete head-to-head with Mars Entertainment, in terms of video games, whether it is Sega or Sony, they are also storage zài that can only look up.

If it weren't for Jester's last time he united to form the World Video Game Association, and then monopolized the entire home console market, then the two of them may not be qualified to be compared with Nintendo.

Therefore, there are too many things under Nintendo's command that can make them covetous.

So, they all agreed with Jester.

The three parties first held a consultation, and after all three parties had distributed the benefits, they negotiated with Nintendo.

It was not easy to choose a time when all three of them had free time, but it was not too difficult, and a week later, such a time was found, and the three began negotiations to divide Nintendo.

This reminded Jester of the historical event of the partition of the Czech Republic by Britain, France and Germany before World War II, when several countries completely divided a sovereign country without the presence of the Czechs, and this time, it was also a bit like that they were about to be divided without the presence of Nintendo.

And, as in the Czechs, their resistance was meaningless.

Because, in the shadow of the behemoth of the World Video Game Association, Nintendo, or Minoru Arakawa, has no chance to have an equal dialogue at all.

"Is it going to happen again, not a single punctuation mark is allowed to change the old thing?"

Jester couldn't help but smile as he thought about it.

"All I need is The Legend of Zelda."

At the beginning of the conference call between the three of them, Jester directly explained his bottom line and requirements to Hayao Nakayama and Ken Kutaraki, which was not surprising to the other two, because this was already mentioned when contacting them before.

Otherwise, the three-person conference call would not have been successful.

Indeed, "The Legend of Selda" is indeed the most valuable of all Nintendo's games, but Nintendo's gold signature is not only this one.

For example, "Donkey Kong", "Metroid", and so on.

These are very exciting for Sony and Sega.

Although they have tacitly given up "The Legend of Saidar", this is also conditional, and to their surprise, Jester himself directly stated the conditions they had not thought of before when they first negotiated, and said it somewhat cleanly.

But they don't know how to pick up the stubble.

What do we say about you?

Jester saw that after he said this, Hayao Nakayama and Ken Kutaragi were silent for a while, he just smiled and asked lightly: "What, what do you disagree with?" Or do you also want to get The Legend of Zelda? ”

"Huh."

Hayao Nakayama was the first to laugh, his voice was still a little embarrassed, and he seemed to pause, thinking about his words for a moment, before he spoke.

"Personally, I have no opinion on that, in fact, Mr. Li's request was somewhat unexpected to me."

And Ken Kutaragi also expressed almost the same opinion.

After hearing their reply, Jester also smiled: "Since this is the case, then the rest of you two can talk, I will listen to it on the sidelines, except for "The Legend of Zelda", we Mars Entertainment will not participate in any competition for Nintendo's game rights this time." ”

In fact, do you want Jester to want the copyright of "Donkey Kong" and "Metroid"?

Of course I want to, but I don't want to be impossible.

As long as it is not too bad, as long as it is released, it can easily sell three million copies, as the owner of a game company, how can it not be interested in the copyright of these two games?

The problem, however, is that this time it's not the same competitor.

There are three.

And among the three most valuable games of Nintendo, I want to get them all and leave the other leftovers to others, so will Sega and Sony agree?

Impossible things.

Therefore, it is enough to take away the most eye-catching "The Legend of Zelda", and this game is also the most compatible game with Shigeru Miyamoto, and, relatively speaking, in terms of platforming action levels, I already have a Super Balotelli series in this regard, and I don't need to covet Nintendo's "Donkey Kong" at all.

And Metroid, undeniably a masterpiece, is a big fan of the game himself.

But if you can't have both fish and bear's paws, you can only give up the fish and take the bear's paws.

Before this, Jester also asked Miyamoto Shigeru's opinion, after all, the copyright of Nintendo's game was in his hands, and he must have to hand it over to Miyamoto Shigeru to continue to make zuò, and when he told Miyamoto Shigeru that these three games could only be taken, Miyamoto Shigeru chose "The Legend of Zelda" after a little hesitation.

Jester was silently listening to the very fierce quarrel between Ken Kutaragi and Hayao Nakayama over the rights of Nintendo's remaining games, especially in "Donkey Kong" and "Metroid", and the two sides were almost unable to give an inch.

For now, the influence of "Donkey Kong" is going to surpass that of "Metroid", and the sales volume can also be illustrated.

Therefore, the focus of the competition between the two sides is also focused on "Donkey Kong".

The most important thing is that both Sega and Sony want to have a game character who can represent them as an ambassador, or logo, like Mars Entertainment, and Barlotelli is more famous in the United States than Mickey Mouse.

Sega and Sony, on the other hand, don't have such games.

But Nintendo has a game and image role that can take on this big responsibility, and that is "Donkey Kong".

This is the reason why the two sides do not back down, neither Sega nor Sony wants to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, because games with such an image are too rare. (To be continued......) R1292
