And Sega was a little unable to come back to his senses in the face of the bombshell news suddenly thrown out by Mars Entertainment.

Hayao Nakayama held a copy of today's "Yomiuri Shimbun", and looked at the entire page that was vacated, on which only the somewhat weird word gameboy was written, and the meaning of this word is not difficult to understand, although it is a self-composed word composed of two words, but one is a game, and the other is a boy, which together is a game boy, so what does this word mean?

Is it worth the name of their new handheld?

Thinking of this, Nakayama Hayao's face instantly showed an angry look, and he smacked fiercely in his mouth, he specially chose this time to avoid all competition, because he knew that Mars Entertainment's sixteen-bit machines would be on sale before the end of the year, and if he sold sixteen-bit machines at the same time as them, he would definitely be greatly inferior in terms of influence.

This is also the reason why he deliberately avoided Christmas Golden Week, although the allure of the Christmas period is extremely strong, but he can't let a finished product be stored in his warehouse for ten months, and then wait until the end of the year to compete with an opponent who has no chance of winning at all, which is more than worth the loss.

But I didn't expect that I had already taken a step back, and the other party hadn't let go of his plans.

"Palm machine? Hum! Even if it's really a handheld machine, you can't choose the time so punctually! "Looking at the release time of Mars Entertainment, it is obvious that it is aimed at Sega, when the idea of pre-sale was put forward in the high-level meeting, it was warmly supported by everyone, but now as soon as this statement of Mars Entertainment came out, many people came to discuss whether to slightly delay their pre-sale date.

Don't go head-on with Mars Entertainment, which is now in the limelight, is the consensus of all visionaries in the company.

It's a pity that I don't appreciate others at all.

Yuya Suzuki is also in Hayashio Nakayama's office, and he just sits on the couch and doesn't speak. And Hayao Nakayama threw this page of the Yomiuri Shimbun, which he had read several times, on the table, and looked up at Yu Suzuki, who was sitting in front of him, with a smile on his face, Yu Suzuki was a talent he personally discovered, from the administrative department to the development department, from the development of arcade machines to the development of home console games, Yu Suzuki is a well-deserved core and trump card of Sega.

Moreover, the two games personally supervised by Yu Suzuki in this MD have also been recognized by everyone in the entire club, and they all think. Yu Suzuki is not inferior to Shigeru Miyamoto's designer, and may even be a designer who is not inferior to Jester, they all believe that Yu Suzuki has such ability and level.

"What do you think? Suzuki. ”

Hearing Hayao Nakayama's question, Suzuki Yuleng paused, and then looked up at his president, he was a little strange, because his boss rarely asked himself these questions before, and these didn't seem to be the questions that he should be concerned about as a game developer, and. It really doesn't matter to him.,He's doing the planning of a game to be made next.,Now the company has high hopes for the MD sixteen-bit machine is about to be released.,The desire for the game is beyond a qiē.。

In the absence of third-party game vendors. can only dig the potential internally, and as the banner of the company's development department, he naturally has to play a good role as the head goose.

However, since his president asked himself, Yu Suzuki did have a little opinion on the handheld machine that Mars Entertainment said. It's not very mature, but since its own president asked, it doesn't hurt to say it yourself.

"This handheld machine. It reminds me of GW many years ago - I think you still have the impression that we were optimistic about the market at that time, and we also prepared a similar product, and we also developed a rechargeable battery for our similar handheld, which seems to be the world's first commercial rechargeable battery, but for some other reasons, the plan went smoothly. ”

Hearing Suzuki Yu say this, Hayao Nakayama also thought about it, he still had some impressions of this matter, but he didn't control Sega at that time, and he was not responsible for this aspect, but this matter was very big at the time, it seemed that some carcinogen was found in their rechargeable battery, and it was banned by the US FDA from being sold in the United States.

At that time, the group was still gloomy, and felt that they had missed an excellent market, but then Nintendo's GW did not make much of a splash after a period of heat, and the company just watched their jokes, and then, Atari collapsed.

Hayao Nakayama nodded, smiled, and said, "I remember, you mean that this market is not big?" ”

But Suzuki Yu shook his head and said: "No, I think the market for handheld machines is very large, and it will not even be smaller than home machines, but this market is more difficult to compete than home machines, and it is much more difficult than home machines. ”

As he spoke, Yu Suzuki gestured at the size of the palm machine, which he compared according to the size of GW, which is already bigger than the average person's pocket.

"I heard that Mars Entertainment's electronic pets have also been selling well in recent years." Zhongshan Hayabusa said faintly, the technical content of electronic pets is not large, although Mars Entertainment has made a lot of tricks on it, but in the eyes of professionals like him, it can be seen at a glance that under the seemingly gorgeous shell of electronic pets, there is a simple circuit board that does not have the slightest commendability.

Even to say a polite word, even if it is a secondary school student who has just graduated from a related major, as long as he has listened carefully in class, he can complete such a simple circuit board.

Hearing his boss's seemingly disdainful tone, Yu Suzuki frowned.

So, he reminded: "Sir, this thing doesn't look at his technical content, it should look at his creative ideas, this is the key to game development, and the technical content of Mars Entertainment's animatronic pets is not as low as you said, at least now their version is not so low." ”

Suzuki Yu's words aroused the curiosity of Hayao Nakayama, and he asked in surprise, "Are you still interested in such a child's toy as Mars Entertainment?" I think that's what Jester's bastard made up to cheat money! ”

"Nope." Yu Suzuki shook his head a little resolutely, he said very seriously, "Electronic pets, it seems that Mars Entertainment is calling them Pokemon electronic pet version, when they first went on sale, they said, a game that seems to be called "Pokemon", this game I have been puzzled at the time, it seems that there is always a layer of frosted glass in front of me, so that I can't see or touch it, but with the announcement of their handheld machine this time, I really want to suddenly understand a little, what they said is called "Pokemon" The game should have been developed on their handheld console. ”

Hearing this, Nakayama Hayao's face changed, he was a little incredulous, and he muttered unconsciously the most: "How is this possible!" You mean, Jester had the idea of making a handheld platform when he first released the electronic pet machine? ”

"I think so." Yu Suzuki nodded firmly.

After hearing Suzuki Yu's answer, Hayao Nakayama was silent, he stared ahead for a few minutes with some distraction, and then sighed slightly: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about it and take the topic away, I didn't come to you this time, but I want to ask, is it necessary for us to develop a palm machine." ”

After Yu Suzuki heard Hayakuo Nakayama's words, a very strange look appeared on his face, and he glanced at his president with some surprise.

"President, our home machine has not been released yet, and the result is unknown......"

Unexpectedly, before Suzuki Yu finished speaking, Hayao Nakayama waved his hand, and said indifferently: "I can't guarantee whether MD can succeed, but what I can be sure of is that it will definitely not fail, at least it will be able to get a piece of the cake, as for better results, I didn't think very far, after all, Mars Entertainment's current strength is too strong, especially their development capabilities, which are far from being comparable to us, so I think we should not take a piece of the pie in a newly opened market?" It is impossible for a whole new market to be eaten by one family. ”

Hayao Nakayama said very firmly, and Yu Suzuki was also a little infected, but he had only been engaged in the development of arcade and home console games before, and almost all of his game experience was on these games, as for what this handheld game was, he couldn't say, since he couldn't say it clearly, he didn't want to make his own comments, but that didn't mean he couldn't say what he thought about it.

"President, I haven't thought carefully about this, and it seems that I shouldn't have come to a conclusion about your question without investigation, but I've heard from a friend who works at Nintendo before that Yokoi Junhei fell out with the old fox of Yamauchi Pu, and it seems that he is going all out to develop a handheld machine or a home machine."

"Oh!?"

Hearing Suzuki Yu's words, even Hayao Nakayama was surprised, it was the first time he heard the news, he didn't expect that Yokoi Junpei and Yamauchi Pu had a falling out because of this incident, and then he immediately thought of Yokoi Junpei joining Mars Entertainment immediately after leaving Nintendo.
