This is the first time that Mars Entertainment's official has revealed their story about the development of the next-generation console in front of the media.

And this news also made the reporters present very excited, which means that not only has Sega been exposed to have a finalized host, but also the new host of Mars Entertainment will also be officially finalized? On the other hand, Nintendo's development plan has only just begun, and it is obvious that Nintendo is unlikely to be as fast as these two companies to launch new consoles.

But immediately, Jester said in the next answer: "But although we developed the project very early, I have not asked the development team to do their best, our goal at that time is the same as the current goal, that is, to make our next-generation console the best as possible." ”

"In other words, your progress is not as fast as Sega's, but you can guarantee that your new console will perform better than Sega's?"

This is what was asked.

And Jester didn't hide it either. A very direct answer: "I'm afraid what you said is right." ”

When Jester received questions and answers at the "All America Rally" performance meeting, Mars Entertainment had already started the development of next-generation consoles, but the news that the progress was slightly behind Sega once again caused an uproar at Nintendo's top management.

Gunpei Yokoi received a notice from Yamauchi to go to the large conference room for a meeting.

He frowned, his steps were in a hurry, and it could be seen that he was not in a good mood at this time, in fact, he was not in a good mood during this time, especially when he heard that Mars Entertainment had started the development of the next-generation console a few years ago, he instinctively thought that this was not true, but his other idea was also constantly reminding him that it was very likely to be true.

He had told President Yamauchi before. After Sega launched their next-generation console, the most important thing to worry about should be Mars Entertainment, because: In terms of the entire market, they are the well-deserved leaders, even if they have to worry, it is not their turn to worry.

However, this is all based on the fact that the other party is the same as himself, and the lack of preparation for the next era of consoles, if the other party has been prepared and prepared, then the current Nintendo has really fallen into the biggest crisis. When the people who thought they could unite to resist Sega's sixteen-bit machine suddenly became indifferent to whether it was an eight-bit machine or a sixteen-bit machine, his tirade before became useless.

In the big meeting at the top of Nintendo, the high-level people were basically full. Yamauchi Pu forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, looked around at everyone, and then his eyes fell on Miyamoto Shigeru.

During this time, Shigeru Miyamoto was mainly working on his The Legend of Zelda II. Although he has also heard a lot of bad news against Nintendo recently, it is all about the hardware, and he is just a game designer. I can't talk about hardware matters, and if I talk too much, it will be a layman who will be unhelpful, and this time a high-level meeting was suddenly held. He also guessed that it might have something to do with the news that had just come out about Jester's admission that their sixteen had been in development for a long time.

So, when Yamauchi Pu first called his name, Shigeru Miyamoto's face. He immediately showed a look of surprise.

He didn't understand why he was the first to ask himself at this time.

"Is the game development still smooth?" Of course, Yamauchi is not going to be confused and ask a question about hardware from someone who has no experience with hardware development. In fact, because of all kinds of negative news during this time, he didn't have much to do with the company's game development things, and it was just at this time that he also learned about it, after all, for Nintendo, at least for now, the game is still the most important. Because he knew that even if Sega could officially launch their new sixteen-bit phone this year, it would not be the first half of the year, and it could not be earlier than October at the earliest, and even he had thought of the most suitable time for Sega to release it, which was Christmas.

Hearing Yamauchi's question, Shigeru Miyamoto reacted, and the president called him not to ask him about hardware, but about game development that he was best at.

"It's very smooth."

Shigeru Miyamoto said simply, in fact, the research and development of "The Legend of Zelda II" has just begun, and what is being carried out now is what he thought about before the official development, of course, it will be more smooth, in the whole game development, the most difficult thing is actually the middle period of time, but obviously, the main body of Yamauchi's meeting did not want to ask about the development of "The Legend of Zelda II", he just wanted to have a simple understanding, such as the current progress, when it can be completed at the latest, and so on.

A few of the questions I asked after that were also related to these.

After letting Shigeru Miyamoto sit down. Yamauchi Pu looked around the scene again, and he saw that the entire venue was silent, so he spoke: "This time I called you over, I guess you also generally know something, yes, it's about the development of our next-generation host, as far as we know so far, we will now face a cold winter." Yamauchi's words made the entire conference room speechless, and they all knew that even if they were fast, it would be impossible to come up with a qualified sixteen-person home console this year, and Sega had basically determined that it would be able to be released within the year, and Mars Entertainment was obviously not too far behind, which was too much pressure on them.

If Sega's new console is successfully released, the functionality of the 16-bit Qì will be confirmed. If the above game effect will be improved in quality compared to the eight-bit machine, then what awaits them will definitely be the betrayal of the entire third-party camp.

This is almost a catastrophe for Nintendo.

Yamauchi Pu looked at the faces of the people present after he finished speaking, it became extremely ugly, and he also sighed, to be honest, after the incredible success of the release of FC in 84, he didn't realize that the next era would come so soon, and he didn't realize that there would be such a strong opponent as Mars Entertainment, and on the other hand, Jester, who has always been regarded as Nintendo's biggest opponent, set up the development team of the next-generation console immediately when Drembx was just released.

This kind of foresight and insight is indeed above oneself, and it is far above oneself. And. Jester is only in his early twenties now, and he has achieved so much at such a young age, and if he were a few decades away, what would he be like when he was his age, and when he thought about it, he was only in charge of this small business of making cards that had been handed down from his father.

In an instant, there was a look of defeat in Yamauchi Pu's eyes, but this look was only fleeting, he knew that he must not let the company founded by his grandfather fall in his hands, his eyes once again returned to the previous look, domineering and penguin cold, full of information, he coughed and cleared his throat.

"Yokoi, do you have any other thoughts on this?"

From Yamauchi Pu's tone, there was hardly a trace of joy, anger and sorrow, and no one could figure out him at this time.

Gunpei Yokoi stood up stubbornly, he didn't really want to say anything more, but thinking about his years at Nintendo, he decided to say what was in his heart again. "Now the only way is to increase investment, and then let me complete the development of the handheld computer within a year, since we have no way to recover the disadvantage in the home machine, why not take a gamble?" Yokoi Junping calmed down his mood for a while, and then said with some generosity, his power seemed to have an indescribable power, attracting many people to cast strange glances at him. ,..., Yokoi Junhei is no different from what he said to Yamauchi before, and this is also the only way in his heart to get Nintendo out of the predicament.

Since the head can't win. Then you can only go off the rails, which is why Yokoi Junhei insists so much.

Yamauchi Pu was also quite surprised that Yokoi Junhei was at this time, and he would propose such a building, in his eyes, this construction was too risky, what if the market for the handheld machine was not as big as expected? What if the newly developed handheld machine becomes the same as the GW of the year? If the development of home computers is late, it can only be said that they are in a weak position, but if their focus shifts to handhelds, then not only will they not have the disadvantage of being able to get as much party time as possible on home computers, but they will also lose a huge investment that can almost bury the company.

He really didn't dare to make such a conclusion.

These intense thoughts flashed through his mind almost instantly. There was still no expression on his face, he just nodded to Yokoi Gunpei and motioned for him to sit down, and then turned his gaze to Masayuki Uemura, who was sitting not far from Yokoi Gunpei.

Masayuki Uemura stood up and glanced at Gunpei Yokoi, and this time, Gunpei Yokoi didn't look at him with his eyes. ,..., a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, he knew it. It is very likely that his friendship with Yokoi Junhei will be difficult to maintain, but Yokoi Junhei has his own persistence, and he has his own persistence.

Yokoi Junhei thinks that only the handheld machine can save the current Nintendo from the predicament that it is about to fall into, but he thinks that half of the handheld machine may become useless, and now let Nintendo choose its own life and death in half the chance? To be honest, Masayuki Uemura didn't have the courage to face this kind of gamble, or even have the courage to think about it.

So, he said that he had the "answer" he thought of when he knew that Mars Entertainment's sixteen-bit console project had already started and was not much behind Sega.

He looked at Yamauchi Pu and said in a firm tone.
