"Are you worried that New Japan Project will join Sony?"

Mark. Saini has long been displeased with this company that is engaged in three or four under its own Mars Entertainment third-party development alliance, and Mars Entertainment has not contributed less to their game development before, and this time they have close contacts with Sony. Saini doesn't look good on the eyes, and many people in Mars Entertainment don't like it. {

Moreover, the fact that the new Japan project wants to develop its own arcade substrate has made Mars Entertainment even more angry.

It's not that Mars Entertainment doesn't allow its third party to make arcade substrates, but to notify in advance before doing it again, after all, if you get out of the arcade substrate, then it will definitely affect the development of games on the home platform, in fact, in these third-party franchisees of Jester, they really rely on themselves to make arcade base versions to make a way, that is, Capcom's family.

And Capcom went to make the arcade base version, or Jester promised the other party at the beginning.

"I'm not worried about this, the new Japan project is just a clown, their president has an old grudge with Kenzo Rentamoto, he sees that Capcom is now so successful in the arcade, it can almost be compared to Namco, and besides, although their development ability is good, they don't have the same results as Capcom."

Jester briefly commented on the new Japan project, in fact, for the new Japan project, the first time domestic players came into contact with their game, it may be the "King of Fight" series, in essence, the "King of Fight" series, in the history of fighting games, is not a milestone work, his first work, and the highest-selling work is his first work - "King of Fighters 1994", but the sales can only be considered acceptable, away from Capcom's "Street Fighter" and Namco's "Iron Fist" There is still a big gap between the benchmarks of these two fighting games.

For domestic players, "KOF94" is not the earliest game in the "KOF" series that they have come into contact with.

In fact, there is one thing that frustrates domestic players. The sales of "King of Fighters 1997", that is, "The King of Fighters 97", which has recently dominated the entire arcade hall in China, are not so pleasant, especially not for the operators of the new Japan project, and the sales of this game may be a little unbelievable to many domestic players, well, its actual sales are only a quarter of that of "kof94".

The reality is so cruel that it's actually a relatively failed work.

This was the pinnacle of the New Japan project, and of course, there were many fighting games they had ever made. It can be said that in the mid-to-early 90s, their influence on small arcade machines was unparalleled, and of course, this has a lot to do with the reason why Namco and Capcom saw the sluggishness of the small arcade market and withdrew their energy from the arcade market.

It's just that there is no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is the overlord.

"So what are you worried about!"

Seeing Jester's denial, he was worried that he was worried about development companies such as New Japan Project that were being co-opted by Sony. Seni was even more incomprehensible, he really couldn't understand what Jester was worried about, he really couldn't understand what there was to worry about. Anyway, with his experience analysis, he doesn't know how to see any future crisis from this incident between Nintendo and Sony.

Jester pursed his lips again.

The reason he knew couldn't be said that he couldn't talk to Mark. Saini said how confident Sony will be this time around, and what a tough opponent Kutaragi will be in the future. Even many of his methods of running Mars Entertainment were learned from Ken Kutaragi, even if he said it, Mark. Seni would only think he was whimsical.

So. Jester could only sigh and say, "You don't understand, that's Sony." Not NEC. ”

For Jester's insistence, Mark. Saini could only shrug his shoulders to show that he didn't understand, he had thought that Jester's ideas and opinions were extremely clever and forward-looking countless times before, but this time, he really couldn't understand why Jester was so stubborn.

The next day, Nintendo held another press conference.

Yesterday,After they announced the official termination of hardware development cooperation with Sony,Sony's R&D personnel who have been placing the development center in Nintendo's joint hardware development center were forcibly expelled,Because it was the reason for Nintendo's sudden attack,So,Almost all the R&D materials were sealed by Nintendo,Of course,Sony took a few prototypes before,It's not nothing。

At the same time, Sony also submitted an indictment to the Kyoto District Court, formally suing Nintendo for blatantly breaching the contract.

Nintendo also submitted an indictment, Sony breached the contract first, so they have the right to terminate the contract in accordance with the provisions of the agreement, as for the previous joint research and development results of the two parties, it needs to be discussed separately.

Because in the contract, it only stipulates that after the completion of the research and development of the new console, the rights and interests of both parties will be shared, and as for the ownership of the R&D product, it is not stipulated in the contract, of course, in theory, the new console should be shared by both parties, but it is not clearly stated in the original contract, so Nintendo will have roundabout capital.

At this press conference, Nintendo reaffirmed their ownership of the new console, and, they changed the name of the new console from the previous PS to Super Nintendo, and the rest of the development tasks are fully responsible for their Nintendo, if nothing else, they will be released in the first quarter as much as possible, of course, now, the possibility of no accidents is not very large.

At least the vast majority of the media, gamers, and industry insiders are not optimistic that Nintendo will be able to release the console in a short period of time.

Of course, Sony can't let Nintendo take such a big advantage in vain, they also held a press conference at their headquarters at the first time that Nintendo's press conference was just held, and at this press conference, Sony and Nintendo's previous press conference are almost the same content, all of which are reiterating the ownership of the PS console by both parties, making it clear that they did not breach the contract before, and Nintendo's blatant termination of the agreement is an intolerable betrayal.

Of course, this matter, the two sides insist on their own words, and it is basically impossible to solve this matter by lip service, and they can only pin this matter on the lawsuit, but it is foreseeable that if you want to end this lawsuit, it will not be possible to do it in a short time, it will inevitably be a long-term lawsuit, just like at the press conference where Dreambox was just released, Jester used an emulator to mock Nintendo's so-called best game console in the world. This is an infringement in itself, but after Nintendo sued Mars Entertainment in the United States, the case, thanks to the efforts of Jester's team of group barristers, has not yet been officially concluded.

Of course, winning or losing this lawsuit has no meaning for Mars Entertainment and Nintendo.

But now, for Nintendo and Sony, is it in the interests of both parties to temporarily suspend the release of this next-generation game console jointly developed by the two companies?

"We have to guarantee the release of Super Nintendo, this is a condition that cannot be compromised, in fact, Sony has already completed 30 to 40 percent of the time independently, they have made a lot of efforts, but our own R&D team is not idle, in public and private, we have the majority of the ownership of Super Nintendo, there is no doubt."

Masayuki Uemura as the chief designer of the Super Nintendo that has just been renamed or the console that Sony calls PS,When Sony's people forcibly renamed it PS, he was extremely opposed.,For this sixteen-digit next-generation console,For Masayuki Uemura,It's like his child.,Rename a child who has prepared a name a long time ago.,And it's also a name that he doesn't have a sense of identity.,The slightest expression is that Xiàn doesn't have the name of Persona lineage.,Needless to say for Uemura Masayuki, Even for the entire Nintendo team involved in the development at that time, it was very dissatisfied and humiliating.

But due to the critical situation at the time, the environment, Yamauchi Pu from the overall situation, gritted his teeth and accepted Sony's name change, this huge concession, but also let the outside world, this is Sony officially in their alliance with Nintendo, from an equal status to a dominant position of the beginning of the conversion, it seems, Nintendo, which has been relatively strong before, became Sony's vassal after that.

No matter what news is released about the new console, it has always been developed by Sony.

Hearing Masayuki Uemura's speech, Yamauchi's face did not show the slightest expression, he looked around, all the Nintendo executives sitting there, under the glance of Yamauchi's blade-like eyes, they all lowered their heads, many of them did not agree with the decision made by Yamauchi Pu this time, because they had just announced that they had terminated their partnership with Sony, and Nintendo's stock listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange had fallen continuously, and the decline in the past two days was quite heavy.

Among them, there are many people who have Nintendo's dividend options, and the decline of Nintendo's stock is extremely heavy for them.

However, in Nintendo, Yamauchi Pu is the sky, that is, the god, that is, the existence of the same, no one dares to question his authority, if you want to question him, then you must be 100% ready to get out of Nintendo. (To be continued......) R527
