At that time, Sega failed miserably because there was no third-party development company.

Now it's your turn?

Fortunately, he only knew this from a very secret source, and the news has not yet spread in the industry, if this news spreads, then needless to say, Nintendo's stock price may plummet.

Yamauchi Pu has never begged for mercy, and he is arbitrary and uncompromising.

Moreover, even if he was now groveling to Jester, or Ken Kutaragi, or Hayao Nakayama, they might not be able to re-admit him, but if he was really completely excluded? Do you really want Nintendo to join their Rausch sub-association as an ordinary member?

I can abandon the Japanese Arcade Association back then, because my share in the arcade is not large, and my main market is on home machines, but now although I still have a 60% market share in the Japanese market, Mars Entertainment, Sega and Sony, together can also occupy 40% of the share, and their share is still rising, plus in the European and American markets, Mars Entertainment has an overwhelming % share.

Just think about it, if you are a third-party game development company, it is impossible to resist the temptation of any platform to make zuò games on a home console game market that accounts for 80% or even 90% of the entire world.

"What should I do?"

Since knowing the news, Yamauchi Pu has been sitting here thinking about it for five or six hours, but his mind is just a mess, and he doesn't know how to solve it at all, and it seems that there are only two solutions in front of him, one of them. It is to put down his figure, dignity, honor and persistence, and apply to join after the establishment of their so-called World Electronics Association, but the treatment he can get will not be superior to the three of them initiators, which is difficult for him to accept.

The second method is to kill the household, and that is from now on. Completely give up the game platform, just be a game developer, however, the loss of the game platform, it also means that for the home machine industry, the most important right to speak, which is also difficult for Yamauchi Pu to accept, but it is undeniable that this is indeed the most suitable approach for the current time.

What the platform does is to have an impact in the industry. If you really make money, you still rely on games.

Neither of these methods is what Yamauchi hopes the most, in fact, he has a third plan, but the difficulty factor of the third plan is too great. That is, to refine your own game style more, and then specialize in the business of some young players, and insist on being a platform.

However, this is the hardest part. Once it fails, then Nintendo, the company, may come to an end.

In fact. Although Mars Entertainment, Sega and Sony established the World Video Game Association, it seems that the three are now planning to cooperate, but this is only temporary, and now Mars Entertainment's position is stable and the advantages are obvious, so the other two will look forward to him, but what about after that? Sony is not an easy person, they are never willing to be subservient in an industry, and the current dormancy is just for the future take-off.

Rubbing his eyebrows, Yamauchi Pu also felt a little tired, after all, he was sixty years old, not in the prime of life, he could not sleep for several days in a row, thinking about how Nintendo should develop in the future.

The most important thing is that he has not yet found a suitable successor, which is what worries him the most.

Perhaps the most suitable successor now is his son-in-law Minoru Arakawa, but Arakawa is indeed a highly talented person in business, and if Nintendo is a pure company, it is no problem to call it into the hands of Minoru Arakawa.

However, Nintendo is not, a game business, not a pure, simple game business.

If he officially hands over the power of Nintendo to Minoru Arakawa, the biggest possibility of Nintendo's fate in the future is that he will sell all Nintendo's game companies, and Nintendo will have nothing to do with the game industry in the future.

It's like what I did back then.

Is that really good?

Yamauchi himself often asks himself like this, to tell the truth, at his current age, it is not realistic for him to lead Nintendo's transformation again, and he himself has no decision on whether the transformation is the most suitable choice.

Mess.

This is the state in Yamauchi's mind now.

Mars Entertainment, Sega and Sony's head of this meeting is secret, but there is no impermeable strength in the world, although the content of the discussion is extremely secret, but there are still many people who have inquired about a lot of specific news, as for the content of the secret meeting of several people, because there are only four people present, so it is impossible for the outside world to know the specific negotiation process.

But what to negotiate is predetermined.

At first, it was only industry brains like Yamauchi who heard about it, and after that, the news spread in the game industry.

Especially in Japan's game industry, there was no less than a magnitude seven or eight earthquake.

If these three are really considering the creation of a worldwide World Video Games Association, then why would they leave Nintendo out of it? This is well worth pondering.

Especially those game developers who have maintained a good relationship with Nintendo, such as Enix, who has just announced that they will launch their new game of "Dragon Quest" on the Super Nintendo console, and the development of the game has already begun, and the script has been written.

And Yuji Dig said more than once in the interview that Nintendo is the most suitable platform for "Dragon Quest", as long as there is Nintendo for a day, as long as he is still the producer of "Dragon Quest" for a day, then the game "Dragon Quest" will only appear on Nintendo's game console.

This game can be said to be the killer feature of Nintendo's new console, because this is called one of the two national RPGs by the Japanese, and has a large number of fans, who are willing to buy a console for a game, and this game has such power.

Hiroki Konno is a member of the new development team of "Dragon Quest", as a programmer, and as soon as he came to the company today, he felt that the atmosphere was a little abnormal.

In the development team, Yuji Mizui, the team leader, had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

And the others are also doing nothing in their own positions, and they are not busy with anything, usually when he came in the past, there would soon be a planner or artist to come to him to discuss things in the game, but today's atmosphere is completely different from usual, no one speaks, no one takes the initiative to talk to him about something.

Everyone sat there listlessly, staring blankly into the distance.

He just came back today because of something in his hometown in Hokkaido a few days ago, so he didn't know what he was posting, but he had been reading the newspaper all this time, and he didn't see any bad news, and he didn't know why he had only been away for a few days, and the atmosphere of the development team was completely different.

"Konno is back!"

Yuji Tsukai glanced up at Hiroki Konno, a smile squeezed out of his face, although it was ugly, he greeted Hiroki Konno in a somewhat weak tone: "Have you heard about some recent things?" ”

"I didn't ...... No. ”

Hiroki Konno replied truthfully.

After hearing Hiroki Konno's answer, Yuji Tsukai first sighed, and the expression on his face became even more listless, but after more than a minute, he didn't say anything, which made Hiroki Konno, who wanted to know what happened, a little uncomfortable.

"In the morning, the leader of the second team of Yuji was just scolded by the president, and now the team leader is sulking!"

Someone said a little more at this time, but this made Hiroki Konno even more strange, because he had been following Yuji Digging for a long time, and he was considered the veteran of the game series "Dragon Quest", others don't know, but he knows very well, how much the president of Enix values the leader of Yuji Ei, since he has been with Yuji Yuji for more than two or three years, needless to say, the president has scolded Yuji Yuji for the team leader, even if it was a dispute.

For all the opinions of the leader of Yuji Tsuii, Mr. President agreed unconditionally.

How could it be now, suddenly scolding the leader of Yuji Ui?

Before Konno Haohui could ask his doubts, Yuji Tsukai finally spoke, he first lit a cigarette, then took a hard breath, and spit out a smoke ring, and then said a little gloomy: "Maybe our project team of "Dragon Quest" is about to be canceled, this game, just can't do it." ”

"What!"

Hearing his team leader say such a sentence, for Konno Haohui, it was no less than seeing a thunder on the flat ground, he couldn't believe what his team leader said anyway, how could it be possible to cancel the "Dragon Quest" project team? This is the best-selling franchise in the entire FC, and there are millions of avid fans of this game in the whole of Japan, and I don't know how many people are looking forward to the release of this game on a new generation of consoles.

As long as this kind of game is released, it will inevitably be a million-level game, so how can it be possible to cancel the project?

Seeing the look of surprise and disbelief on Hiroki Konno's face, a person next to him explained to him in detail: "What President Yuji Kukai said is not to completely cancel the "Dragon Quest" project team, but to cancel the "Dragon Quest" project team that fell on the Super Nintendo!"
