"Cancel Super Nintendo's Dragon Quest development team?"
When he heard this name, Konno Haohui's face still showed a look like this, but after a blink of an eye, his face became as ugly as before, and he stammered a little and said: "Super Nintendo's "Dragon Quest", isn't that what we are talking about?" ”
Immediately, he turned his head to look at Yuji Digging Shaft, who was still silently smoking a smoky cigarette on the side, and asked with a panicked expression: "Digging team leader?" It's true? Why is this happening? Isn't our game the best-seller? Aren't we allergic RPGs? ”
asked a few times in a row, but Yuji Digging didn't say anything, and the people around him were silent.
Hiroki Konno turned his head and looked around, seeing that everyone didn't seem to want to talk about it, just as he was about to go out to find out about it, Yuji Yukai finally finished smoking the cigarette, and then spoke, and said in a hoarse voice: "We just got the gossip - although it is said to be gossip, but the source is very reliable, basically the truth, Mars Entertainment, Sega and Sony, plan to establish the World Video Game Association, and all third-party development companies that join this association in the future, You are free to develop games on the platform of the three of them, without any constraints. ”
It only took half a second for Hiroki Konno to discover the key, and he blurted out: "No Nintendo? ”
"There is no Nintendo." Yuji Tsuii's voice became a little bitter inside.
At this time, Hiroki Konno also understood why his team leader was like this, because Yuji Dig said before that as long as he was the developer of "Dragon Quest" for one day, then he would only develop games on Nintendo's platform. But now, after being abandoned by the 80 to 90 percent share of the entire world home phone market, Nintendo's 16-bit platform, which has not yet been released, seems to be dying before it comes out.
"President......" Hiroki Konno immediately changed the subject, and now it is useless to say that it is useless, and the important thing is what their "Dragon Quest" development team should do.
Yuji Tsukai obviously felt a lot better after saying this again. Although he still had an extremely bitter expression on his face, he continued: "The president asked me to disband the development team of Super Nintendo and then reorganize a new development team, the game is still Dragon Quest, and he said that he is contacting the three companies of Mars Entertainment, hoping to get their consent and we can develop games on their three platforms." ”
Hiroki Konno listened to this result and it was good, after all, the game still continued to be made, which was not the same thing as he thought before. But soon, he found out that something was wrong, because Yuji Mikai had boasted about Haikou outside before, and this time he broke his promise. It seems very difficult to accept.
To be honest, if it's a completely shameless designer, it doesn't matter at all, but Yuji Tsukai is not that kind of person. Therefore, he went to the president to submit his resignation, but he was scolded.
"I see."
Konno Haohui nodded with some sudden realization. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to the kind of big words that Yuji Kukui said before, to be honest, who wouldn't say a few words that didn't go through the brain when he was proud of the spring breeze, and moreover, the conditions that Nintendo gave them at that time were indeed very generous, and when Yuji Yuji said that, even the president agreed.
But who would have thought that the world would change so quickly.
So, Hiroki Konno just wanted to say a few words to persuade his team leader, but it seemed that Yuji Tsukai seemed to have penetrated his heart and knew what he was going to say, he waved his hand, and then he breathed: "Needless to say, I figured it out just now, I'm really a little willful, and now the news from the president hasn't come yet, and our Super Nintendo's "Dragon Quest" on it definitely can't be done, but the preparation ahead can't be said to be useless, our plot text, art and a lot of settings, It's all generic, sort it out, and then wait for the president's news. ”
Just when Yuji Tsuii's "Dragon Quest" development team was a little frustrated and preparing for a new job, Jester and several of them also received a call from President Enix, not only Enix, but many third-party development companies.
Among them, there are third parties who have maintained a relatively close relationship with Mars Entertainment before, and third parties who have always been die-hard supporters of Nintendo before, especially the latter, this time they are really completely panicked, because in the market choice of 10% and 90%, especially the 60% and 40% of the Japanese market plus the absolute advantage of the world market, even those game development companies based on the Japanese market are completely panicked.
Take Enix, for example.
The sales of their "Dragon Quest" in other parts of the world have not been very high, and it is not at all commensurate with the fame of this game in the world, but in Japan this game is indeed an absolute national RPG, and Nintendo was able to occupy 60% of the game platform share in the entire Japanese market before, so they will naturally choose Nintendo, there is no doubt about it.
But now, if the other three Mars Entertainment are united, then Nintendo's six percent to these three forty percent, the advantage is not so obvious, and Nintendo's share is decreasing, the joint share of these three is constantly increasing, coupled with the temptation of the entire world market, it is no wonder that the president of Enix will defect from Nintendo in the first place.
In fact, the specific discussion ended yesterday, but Ken Kutaragi and Hayao Nakayama have not left immediately, they are waiting for the arrival of their company's legal team, to sign a specific cooperation agreement, and will choose a time to announce their establishment of the World Video Game Association.
They're going to elect the permanent directors of the gaming association, and they're going to talk about the grading criteria for video games, and they're going to talk about when the three game shows will take place.
Since game shows are all held once a year, it is a sure thing to stagger the time, and in one hand, spring and autumn are the most suitable for holding this kind of large-scale exhibition, but the three game exhibitions, of course, cannot all be gathered in these two seasons, but considering that the GDC, that is, the game developer conference is a summary as the main nature, a grand event to review the games of the past year, it seems that it can be put at the end of the year or, like the Oscars, at the beginning of the year.
It's all very well built.
However, when and where, because the location of the GDC is rotated, among the three exhibitions, only the venue of the first World Game Developers Conference has not been determined.
"What do you think?"
Jester casually asked Kutaragi Ken and Hayao Nakayama, both of them also received a call from Enix, Jester could see the joy on their faces very lightly from the faces of the two of them, although the two of them expected that after the leak of the matter of their three alliances, it would make Nintendo's third-party chickens fly and dogs jump, but they definitely did not expect that Enix, who has always been considered by Nintendo to be absolute and new, will be the first mutineer.
"Very unexpected."
When Hayakuo Nakayama said, the expression on his face was a little embarrassed, and it seemed that he didn't believe much about this now: "I should be very familiar with Yasuhiro Fukushima, he has a very good relationship with the old guy Yamauchi Pu, which is why Enix has been clinging to Nintendo's thigh before, but I didn't expect him to ...... it at the first time."
Yasuhiro Fukushima is the founder of Enix and the president of Enix.
Hayao Nakayama didn't finish this passage, but there was no need to finish it, because everyone present knew what he was going to say.
It's just that Ken Kutaragi added: "Even if it's me, if I'm in Yasuhiro Fukushima's position, I'm afraid I will have to make the same decision as him." As he spoke, Ken Kutaragi seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face.
"I've heard Yuji Tsukui, the producer of "Dragon Quest", say that he will only develop "Dragon Quest" on Nintendo's platform, but I don't know how he should deal with himself this time......"
Hearing Kutaragi Ken's words, even Jester's face showed a hint of a nonchalant smile, but Hayao Nakayama laughed directly regardless of his image, and while laughing, he also said: "If Yuji Tsukai wants to leave Enix, I will definitely invite him to join Se......ga with the highest treatment."
However, before Hayao Nakayama could finish speaking, Ken Kutaragi also opened his mouth unceremoniously.
"President Nakayama, you better give up, if Mr. Yuji Tsukai really leaves Enix, we Sony will definitely welcome you - to say something out of place, do you think you can compete with us in recruiting talent?"
"Hey, hey!"
However, Hayao Nakayama listened to Ken Kutaragi's words that were similar to mockery, and he was also a little disdainful, he first sneered twice, and then said in the same unceremonious tone: "It's a pity, Yuji Dig is a game development talent, not an electrical development talent, you Sony, you are not competitive in this regard." ”
Kutaragi Ken narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and although his expression was a little disdainful, he didn't continue to spray each other with Hayakuo Nakayama.
But Jester didn't just talk to the two of them today for the sake of Enix.
