Chapter 446: Nintendo's Conspiracy, N64 Counterattack

Kutaragi Ken and Yamauchi Pu sat facing each other, not speaking for a long time, and the tea on the table was steaming.

There is a statistical report in front of each of them, which is the news fed back by the marketing department of their respective companies.

The sales of "Plants vs. Zombies" made them feel terrifying, it has been more than half a month, it has been hot every day, people who buy the game wave after wave, the sales of the two platforms are conservatively estimated to be at least more than 4 million copies, which is really several times more than "Zombie Siege", at this rate can sell well for at least two or three years, and when the price of computer hardware drops, sales will reach a blowout.

Several veteran media have already rated this game as platinum, "the creative work of casual games", "the pioneering work of cartoon horror games", "epoch-making games", "masterpieces that break traditional conventions" and other popular sayings make the two feel numb, even to the point of disgusting, most of them say that it is good, praise it, and very few people say bad things.

"President Yamauchi, you are a respected senior in the game industry, do you have any experience that you can impart? How do we respond to this crisis? ”

Kutara Kiken put down his identity and asked respectfully, he was a junior, but he had never put himself in the position of a junior in the past few years, and it was not until the resignation of Norio Ohga that he changed his thinking and attitude and began to humbly ask his seniors for experience.

He has no choice but to do anything about Longteng, he can't think of any way to defeat the other party, Sony has lost to Longteng in games one after another, and its game suppliers have been re-wooed by Hayabusa Nakayama and Wang Zhe. Began to hesitate and wag its tail again, and the Sony empire faltered.

Yamauchi Pu has indeed been silent a lot in the past two years. Nintendo has not made a big move, and almost all the game production suppliers have protested to them. I hope that SFC can release a CD version as much as possible, and end the high-cost production method of cassette, which can not only save a lot of hardware production costs, but also reduce R&D costs, but Nintendo seems to be giving up on itself and doing nothing.

The old man said quietly: "We ourselves are in trouble at Nintendo, the cost of cassette to CD is too high, and the list of game suppliers we share with Sony is increasing and the number of companies that stop developing cassette games. Most of them are switching to the CD production of PS, so I think you should pass on your experience to me, President Kutaragi! ”

Kutaragi Ken's face is ugly, and when Yamauchi Pu said this, he is actually accusing Sony of co-opting Nintendo's game suppliers in disguise, and complaining that one of the culprits of Nintendo's decline must be Sony.

"President Yamauchi, don't say that! In fact, we have poached a lot of game providers from the Sega camp, and many of them also provide cartridge games for Nintendo, and the government's stimulus policies, Nintendo has also benefited? The cooperation between you and me is actually a win-win situation! ”

For this statement. Yamauchi's expression remained unchanged, he did not object, he did not agree, and he still looked at each other indifferently. said: "Plants vs. Zombies is a game that speaks volumes, and it's out of the game's 'professionalism', haven't you noticed? Dragon's games are becoming more and more entertaining. Playing games is like watching movies, playing games is getting easier and easier? ”

Kutaragi Ken thought for a moment. I understood what Yamauchi Pu meant, and then carefully recalled the games that Longteng had made himself in the past three years. Looking at the game catalog, thoughtful: "Zuma", "Dakar Rally", "Plants vs. Zombies", these new games are all entertainment...... "Warcraft", "Tomb Raider", "Resident Evil" and these maintain the professionalism of the game...... But all the games have characteristics, the music is good, the CG animation is exquisite, and I probably understand something......"

Yamauchi laughed: "The Jews know that women and children in this world have the best money. ”

Many people know this sentence, but not many people can do it, especially Sony, who is struggling in the game, it is difficult to jump out of the predicament, Sony is always thinking about how to get rid of the entanglement of the dragon, instead of finding a way to develop a game for women and children, and make money as much as possible.

Maybe Ken Taragi himself has forgotten about it, and Yamauchi Pu was able to make Nintendo the number one in the world because of his excellent vision.

Although Yokoi Junhei was killed in a car accident, Tajiri and Iwata Satoshi were taken into the bag by Yang Yun in advance, and Miyamoto Shigeru was difficult to pick the main beam, but Yamauchi Pu, the former victorious general, was still very sober, and he saw the problem very thoroughly, especially in this PS and SS battle, as a bystander, he saw a lot of things clearly, which is something that Kutaragi Ken could not see.

"By the way, President Kutaragi, I want to tell you one thing, Nintendo's next-generation TV game console N64 is about to be launched, and you are welcome to attend our new product launch event!"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it made the scalp of Kutaragi Kenzhen, who was recalling Yamanuchi's aphorism, numb, and his whole body was cold, from head to toe.

President Yamauchi...... What are you...... What does that mean? ”

"Nintendo's console development has always lagged behind Sega, the 16-bit SFC just can't hold up, and the times are forcing us to change, I admit that disc games are the mainstream, and cartridges have lost their meaning. After four years of research and development, we're about to launch this 64-bit disc game console and we're ready to take it back from Sega! Yamauchi said it very easily.

Is it just a recapture from Sega? As soon as the N64 with 64-bit processor comes out, it will immediately become the world's first 64-bit home TV game console, and its competitors are not only SS, PS is also counted, and Sony will also be affected by the heavy dà!

Kutaragi Ken opened his mouth wide and looked at Yamauchi Pu in disbelief, and a sudden thought made him break out in a cold sweat in an instant-this qiē is all Nintendo's conspiracy!

In the past two years, Sony and Nintendo have cooperated, and they have never been blocked by Yamauchi, which makes people feel unbelievable, and the outside world even mistakenly thinks that Sony and Nintendo have merged, because the two companies share a catalog of game production suppliers, jointly release games, and jointly formulate a game quality management system, regardless of you and me.

If Nintendo had done this on purpose, deliberately abandoning the chicken cassette games in the past two years to confuse Sony in exchange for Sony's trust, and then they would have released the world's first N64 game console through guò, they would have had no trouble getting the support of hundreds of game providers to make 64-bit disc games and regain the TV game market......

Kutaragi Ken was afraid for a while, he held his head, and things seemed to get out of control.

Yamauchi Pu's expression was indifferent, as if nothing had anything to do with him, it seemed that the listing of N64 was not as important as making a new game, so calm that it was frightening, so calm that everyone mistakenly thought that the old man had lost the heart to fight, waiting for retirement, and living his life like this.

Kutaragi Ken was sweating more and more, he looked at Yamauchi Pu, and suddenly felt that Sony's cooperation with Nintendo was probably a mistake!

Two years ago, Nintendo was indeed forced by Sega to have no way out, but Nintendo is still a lion, a lion driven to a dead end, not a sheep!

Once Nintendo seizes an opportunity, they have the strength to turn things around, because they have always been lions and have never changed!

Their low profile in the past two years has wrongly made everyone think that Nintendo has lost its fangs, smoothed its claws, extinguished its ambitions, and is dying and struggling.

Sony is no exception, they naively think that Nintendo is a vassal, a terminally ill old man!

It turns out that this qiē is all an illusion! It's a Nintendo conspiracy!

Yamauchi Pu continued to smile, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said, "Although Hayabusa Nakayama is very annoying, what he said is right. A short failure doesn't mean anything, and if you fail, you can get back up again. President Kutaraki, please cheer up and continue to fight Sega and Ryuteng! ”

Watching Yamauchi Pu drift away, Ken Kutaragi suddenly collapsed to the ground, Sony has no plans to develop a 64-bit game console at all, and their 32-bit PS is unlikely to get approval from the top management before seeing huge profits.

And Yamauchi Pu is holding more than a billion US dollars, they have laid off a large number of employees and cut a large number of projects, but they have not reduced sales channels, it turns out that they have been secretly doing research and development, climbing the technology tree, just for today's blow!

Late......

Too late......

Kutara Kiken only felt that there was a tiger in front and a wolf in the back, and he had nothing to do!

He was pushed to the front desk to fight to the death with Sega, comparing sales and games, and was busy dealing with all kinds of trivial things all day long, putting all his mind on intrigue with Longteng.

But he never realized that his allies could endure it until now!

Nintendo is going to counterattack with the N64!

……

……

"N64 for CD media?" Yang Yun also got the news, and once Nintendo was ready to open the floodgates, a lot of information came out.

Nintendo, this is the rhythm of running naked out of the radiance! Don't buy eyes, don't buy medicine, don't make a move after a few years of development, it's such a big artifact!

Yang Yun pounded his palm, he realized that he was ignoring Yamauchi Pu, in real history, N64 was a cassette medium, and now it has been changed to CD disc media by Nintendo, so it seems that N64 has become a good hand played by Yamauchi Pu, and it is a straight from 3 to A, unless you use 4 2 bombs or big and small king rockets to stop them!

This is good, as soon as the brilliance comes out, the group loses blood, N64 is a group attack weapon with indiscriminate damage, the world's first 64-bit processor TV game console, controlled by Nintendo! (To be continued......)
