Chapter 256: Heartwarming Sony

Jester's tone was firm, and no matter what Yuji Naka said, he insisted that the game should be under the name of the Balotelli series.

And Yuji Nakatsu really couldn't give up the attraction of this game that Jester had just explained to him, and to make a simple and interesting game like zuò, which also played into his heart, and after thinking about it again, he still agreed to Jester's request to make Zuò, a game that hangs under the name of the Balotelli series.

Of course, it's not right away, but after helping Jester finish that little game, in the meantime, Jester will also refine more settings for this party-style racing game.

Ken Kutaragi is the contact between Sony and Nintendo, and Sony is also Nintendo's largest supplier of electronic components for game consoles, and the relationship between the two is extremely harmonious, and Kutaragi Ken also has a very good relationship with Nintendo's top management.

Within Sony, Ken Kutaragi is not the only one who is interested in the video game industry, he is a hardware player, and after coming into contact with Nintendo and seeing the revival of video games thanks to the efforts of Mars Entertainment and Nintendo, he has developed a very strong interest in this industry.

At Sony's internal meetings, he also explained to the senior management of the group more than once that the game industry is a very promising, very ambitious industry, after several persuasions, it is impossible for Sony's senior management not to be tempted, but the problem is here, Sony they have never been in contact with this industry, if it is just to make a high-performance game console, then it is almost effortless for Sony to be an electrical giant.

However, this construction was vetoed by Kutaragi Ken at the first time it was proposed, and he believes that at this time, it is not a very good idea to rush into the extremely fierce game industry, because making games does not mean that we only need to make a machine according to the specifications of the tape, and then only need to sell the machine.

Because tape is universal.

No matter which music company produces music tapes, they can be put into any tape drive for playback, and the manufacturer of tape drives has no way to control the standard standards of tapes, so as to create a disguised monopoly.

However, in the game industry, similar to the tape in the music industry, it cannot be universal, and the specifications of the cassette used in each game console are different, and the cassette that can be used on this game console cannot be used on another company's game console, that is, they cannot rely on their own R&D strength far beyond Nintendo or Mars Entertainment to develop a machine that completely surpasses the two companies, and they can do it all.

A console platform that runs without game software is just like a Walkman without a cassette tape, just a good-for-nothing thing that can't even be called a toy.

And the reason why Sony is interested in the video game industry, one of them is to see the huge business opportunities in video games, and the second is that there are many industries with huge business opportunities, and they want to enter the video game industry, just because Sony has found that while entering the video game industry, they can further promote the new standard they are ready to push.

That's optical storage.

Sony is not a company that will make important decisions at the first glance, and they will not venture into the game industry without solving the most critical problem that Kutaragi Ken said, and their purpose is of course to see the profits of the game industry, and the second is naturally for their discs.

Therefore, when it is difficult to withdraw directly into the water by yourself for the time being, you can temporarily ignore the first reason, and only need to consider the second reason.

At this time, there was news from the market that NEC, which is a giant larger than Sony in Japan and in the world, has joined forces with Nintendo's two largest third-party game developers, Namco and Hudson, to prepare to release a new game console.

As soon as he heard the news, Ken Kuta's reaction was that their chance had come.

Kutara Kiken's stature is not tall, slightly fat, and his eyes are long and squinted, giving people a sense of kindness, but those who have come into contact with him know that what is hidden in his kindness is shrewdness, and there is almost nothing that can hide from his eyes, what kind of demeanor a person has, Kutara Kiken only needs to take a slight look, and he can understand one or two thoughts from it.

This time, he personally came to Nintendo's headquarters, and sitting in front of him was Pu Yamauchi himself.

Yamauchi Pu was anxious during this time, as he expected, under his own banner, his two most well-paid companies, Namco and Hudson, as he expected, went away, when he heard the news announced by Nippon Electric and Hudson and Namco, he was angry and smashed his favorite piece of blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty in China to pieces.

Afterwards, when he saw the remains of precious Ming Dynasty porcelain that had been turned into pieces, his heart was even more bleeding, and the pain was even more painful.

In fact, this time NEC is not only the game companies that are enveloped, but also some small game companies, whether they are under the platform of Nintendo or under the platform of Mars Entertainment, but only Namco and Hudson are the most famous, and the departure of these two companies has also damaged Nintendo's strength the most.

And the return of Mars Entertainment is just leaving a few dispensable companies.

Capcom was invited by NEC at the first time, and no one knew what Kenzo Mimoto thought at the time, but at the first time, Kenzo Mimoto told Jester about it, and promised that they would never join the new camp of NEC, and Jester thanked him with good words, but in fact, he didn't take Capcom's words to heart.

Jester, who came from later generations, knew that one of Capcom's most famous nicknames was called Capcom's, which was not unique to China, but recognized by the world, and that Capcom's fickleness was simply inexhaustible. Truth be told, Capcom is a very pure commercial company, which is the biggest difference between them and some of the other top game companies.

This is not to say that other game companies are not commercial, but that people will always miss the old love, but Capcom's principle is to put profit first and never miss the old love, for example, Capcom, they can develop into one of the best game giants in Japan in the future, which is a very long experience.

Their rise is inseparable from Nintendo's support and help, and many unique technologies are actively supported by Nintendo when Capcom was not yet a climate, the most famous is that in the mid-nineties of Capcom, when the N64 version of "Resident Evil" that later swept the world, it received a lot of help from Nintendo.

However, companies like Capcom, when you can bring him the greatest benefit, they are more docile than cats, but when other people bring benefits far more than you, they will be as cold-blooded and ruthless as a snake, when Nintendo is strong, Capcom never dares to say a word, but when Nintendo declined, they immediately threw themselves into the arms of Sony without hesitation, and when Nintendo's handheld re-emerged, Capcom once again sacrificed their fickle tricks, and once again threw themselves into the arms of Nintendo.

Is this kind of business likeable?

The answer varies from person to person, and the vast majority of people may not like Capcom's impersonal enterprise, Jester was the same before, but when he has been engaged in the game industry for many years, he has gradually realized one thing, in fact, a company like Capcom is the best to deal with.

As long as you are strong enough, then they are the most loyal dogs, and if you become weak, then don't complain that others will be unfaithful to you.

In fact, in Capcom's opinion, when he follows you, he has done what a third-party game developer should do, what he can do, what he must do, a qiē thing, that is, Capcom thinks that there is money and goods between him and you, and no one owes anyone.

And now when he is being co-opted by others, he takes the initiative to show loyalty to himself, which is nothing more than that.

But obviously, Namco and Hudson don't think so, they think they should get more profits, their games are not inferior to Nintendo, but because the platform is not their own, when their games conflict with Nintendo's games, they will generally be suppressed, and although their royalties are only symbolically levied, and they also have the right to make independent zuò tapes, but they still need to share the profits with Nintendo.

Although it is not as terrible as half of the commission of other franchisees, but this money, these two extremely conceited companies, over time, and their own strength, they are dissatisfied with Nintendo's exploitation similar to blood-sucking leeches, of course.

When your strength is not enough, you can only forbear, but when you feel that your strength is enough, then it is natural to resist, and the reason why you resist is because you are unwilling.

Especially Namco, they relied on "Iron Plate Array" to build dozens of floors of iron plate formation buildings, but after relying on Nintendo, although they made more money overall, they no longer relied on a game to build a dozens of floors of buildings.

For example, a company that has had such a glorious experience will naturally not be able to endure this kind of oppression for a long time.

So there was this betrayal. R1152
