Chapter 540: Making a Decision
"What? What's the matter? ”
Yamauchi Pu asked Miyamoto Shigeru with some curiosity, he was indeed very curious, in his impression, Miyamoto Shigeru was not a good talker anyway, he liked to deal with people, such a person would not be able to make a phone call to his direct boss if there was no special reason.
There was a long silence on the other end of the line, and only the faint breathing of Shigeru Miyamoto could be heard.
Just when Yamauchi was a little impatient, Miyamoto Shigeru said a little hesitantly: "Mr. Yamauchi, I have something I want to tell you. ”
Hearing Shigeru Miyamoto's tone so hesitant, Pu Yamauchi frowned.
Some not-so-good thoughts suddenly rose in his heart, and he was silent for a few seconds before he spoke, "Say it." However, judging from Yamauchi's tone, he became stern.
"Okay."
Miyamoto Shigeru first agreed, then prepared a wording, and said: "I want to finish the game in my hand, and go to make a home console game, I have some ideas that I want to ...... on the home console game" But before Miyamoto Shigeru could finish speaking, his words were directly interrupted by Yamauchi Pu.
There was a hint of anger in Yamauchi's tone, which could be easily heard, and he was obviously very angry when he heard Miyamoto Shigeru say this, and he thought that Miyamoto Shigeru suddenly told him about it with good signs, and it was very likely that he was provoked by some people in the United States.
Of course, there was no way for him to say these things explicitly.
Therefore, Yamauchi Pu could only forcibly suppress his anger and patiently said to Shigeru Miyamoto: "Miyamoto, why did you suddenly have such thoughts? Our internal meeting has made a decision before, and the energy and resources in the future should be inclined to the handheld machine, and you can only get the best conditions from the company when you develop it in the field of handheld machine. ”
Shigeru Miyamoto also knows what Pu Yamauchi said, but the problem is that Shigeru Miyamoto obviously mentioned this matter to Pu Yamauchi is not so consistent with what Pu Yamauchi thought.
"President, I know all of this, but I really want to develop games on home consoles, and many of my ideas about games can't be done on handheld consoles, only on home consoles...... Mr. President, please allow me to give me a chance to develop a game on a home console after every few handheld games. ”
Shigeru Miyamoto said these words with great sincerity, almost in a pleading tone.
But Yamauchi remained unmoved.
He didn't know why Shigeru Miyamoto suddenly told him this, but he didn't need to know, his tone became unceremonious in the face of Shigeru Miyamoto's request.
"Miyamoto, you have to think clearly, even if you want to make a home console game, there will be no preferential treatment, the development funds you can get are no different from other people, are you really willing to develop a home console game under such conditions?"
Yamauchi Pu has already said this very politely, he is threatening Miyamoto Shigeru, if you insist on developing a home console game, then you have little chance to complete those unrealistic cranky ideas in your head, because making games is not a one-person thing, it requires the help of a great companion.
Moreover, the amount of R&D funding required will not be a small number.
Hearing Yamauchi Pu say this, Miyamoto Shigeru was silent again, and Yamauchi Pu obviously didn't want to continue to chat with Miyamoto Shigeru, his tone was not as gentle as when he first connected the phone: "Miyamoto, don't think about this nonsense first, when the E3 exhibition is over, you return to Japan, and I will talk to you about this matter carefully." ”
After finishing speaking, Yamauchi Pu didn't care about Shigeru Miyamoto's reaction and hung up the phone directly.
This made a trace of anger rise in Miyamoto's heart.
However, soon, this anger was calmed down by him again, and he hung up the phone, facing the telephone, sitting on the bed, not saying a word, but judging from his expression, it was obvious that he was thinking about something.
In the process of thinking, Miyamoto Shigeru's face became a little hideous.
It seemed that there was a difficult choice going on in his heart, and this difficult choice made his lover become agitated, and he began to walk around the room without purpose.
Then it was loaded into bed again.
In the end, when Miyamoto Shigeru got up from the bed again, his eyes were already full of bloodshots, but his expression was much more relaxed than before, and he could no longer see the extremely anxious expression on his face, obviously, after some not very pleasant thinking, Miyamoto Shigeru still made his own choice.
Although at the end of the phone, Yamauchi said that he would continue to talk about this matter after he returned to Japan.
But Miyamoto Shigeru knows that this is just a pretext, he really knows Yamauchi's character too well, this is a person who will never be soft, and it may be the only time that Jester was forced to withdraw from the home console market, but that time as an excluded Nintendo book, there is really no better choice.
Without a third party, it is impossible to support a huge home console game platform by relying only on the first party.
Nintendo is not Martian Entertainment, and Jester himself is not . Lee, it could even be said that the whole of Nintendo, or the whole of Japan, or other game companies, will not have a second Jester. Lee, Jester. Li Nen consolidates one person to support a platform, others can't.
Yamauchi will never compromise with himself.
In fact, this was already judged by Shigeru Miyamoto at the beginning, and he made that call, just to make his last little effort, and even in his vision, even if he could get the company's full support for the development of home console games every two years, he could agree.
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to leave Nintendo.
This is where he grew up, after all.
And Yamauchi Pu, in his heart, treats him the same as his direct elders, and he is extremely respectful.
But on the one hand, there are things that are difficult to give up, and on the other side are my own dreams, as a game designer, I have some inevitable dreams, dreams that I really want to achieve.
It would be great if you could have both.
At this time, Shigeru Miyamoto sighed in his heart, and then, in his heart, he couldn't help but have an ancient saying in country Z, you can't have both fish and bear's paw, and the one who gives up the fish and takes the bear's paw, he was also thinking about it just now, whether he wants to give up the bear's paw or the fish.
Although such a process of abandonment is not what he wants.
But he had to make his choice.
Shigeru Miyamoto came to the telephone again, and now his demeanor was very different from the previous time, when he stood in front of the telephone before, his face was extremely hesitant, but this time, the look on his face had already become extremely firm.
He didn't dial Yamauchi's phone, but Jester's.
It was already late at night in Los Angeles time, and Shigeru Miyamoto didn't think about it, or he didn't have time to think about whether someone would be able to call Jester's office at this time, but fortunately, after the phone rang a few times, it was connected.
"May I ask who you are?"
As soon as the phone was connected, Jester's voice came out of the telephone receiver, after all, the phone in the hotel room where Shigeru Miyamoto was still an unfamiliar number for Jester.
"I'm Shigeru Miyamoto."
And after Miyamoto Shigeru heard Jester's voice, his face showed a hint of joy for the first time.
After a short silence of a second or two, he revealed his identity.
Then, Jester's voice immediately sounded extremely excited: "It's Miyamoto, how can you have time to call my office so late, if I don't have some things to deal with today, I'm going back, I've been shopping in the E3 exhibition hall for a day today, I'm too tired." ”
Jester laughed and said, as if he were talking to an old friend he knew well.
But in fact, those who know know that Jester's meeting with Shigeru Miyamoto today is just the second official meeting between the two.
Miyamoto Shigeru heard Jester talk to him like a friend chatting with him, and these topics that can only be talked about when friends chat, he immediately had a sense of intimacy, and he also smiled: "There is indeed something ......" Originally, Miyamoto Shigeru wanted to tell Jester about his own decision on the phone.
But he immediately thought about it.
He thought that it was not very solemn to say it on the phone after all, and it was not clear to say these things on the phone, so he immediately made a new decision.
"There are some things I want to tell you, and it's not convenient on the phone, so let's treat you to a meal at noon tomorrow, in a restaurant next to the E3 Convention and Exhibition Center, I ate here yesterday, and I think it tastes very good." Shigeru Miyamoto said this with a smile.
"Okay." Jester didn't ask, but agreed decisively.
The call didn't last long, and both sides hung up after saying this, and Jester couldn't help but clench his fists hard after hanging up.
Although Shigeru Miyamoto hasn't told him yet.
But according to his intuition, he knew that Shigeru Miyamoto had most likely agreed to his request to leave Nintendo and join Mars Entertainment. R1152
