Chapter 258: The Golden Age of Video Games Begins on the Horizon
CES opens on June 20.
However, as soon as the time enters June, the relevant preparations have already begun.
Determine the booth according to the drawings provided by the organizer, and process the things needed to arrange the booth.
Training of exhibitors.
And, of course, there's a container full of Pokeball 2 handhelds arriving in America from Neon.
Then just wait for the exhibition to start, it will be delivered to the four major distributors, and the goods will be officially distributed during the exhibition.
The preparations were intense, and Hideki Hanyu naturally needed a lot of attention.
I don't have the heart to pay attention to anything else.
And just when the time came to June 10th.
Hideki Hanyu had just returned to the hotel after a busy day when he received a transatlantic call from Neon.
"Teacher, I miss you, I want to go to America to find you."
There is no one else who can call him so in a delicate voice except Kyoko Koizumi.
"Don't you have to run the publicity?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"The new single has just been promoted, and I have been able to take a break for a while recently." Kyoko Koizumi replied.
"Rest?"
Hanyu Hideki thought to himself, is there such a thing as rest in Neon's idol work?
"I don't care, I just want to go to the teacher, I haven't been to America yet."
Of course, Kyoko Koizumi knows that her reason for resting can't fool Hanyu Hideki at all.
But this time, she was determined to go to America to find Hideki Hanyu.
The reason is very simple, since the beginning of this year, Hideki Hanyu has been busy with work, and the number of meetings with her is simply pitiful.
If it was just her, it wouldn't be fine, after all, she was a smart girl.
It can be seen that in Hanyu Hideki's mind, the status of women is far less important than career, so he will not be stupid to say anything about career and stupid things I want to choose.
But the problem is that a few days ago, she went to NHK to record a program and listened to the staff chatting about it.
The heroine of NHK's popular morning drama "Soy Sauce's Daughter Ah Xiang" was filming outside and lived in a luxury RV worth tens of millions on the spot.
Of course, she knows who the heroine is, and she doesn't have to guess who bought the luxury RV.
I understand more that when Hanyu Hideki was busy, the other party "secretly" went to see Hanyu Hideki and got such an expensive gift.
At this moment, there was a sense of crisis.
simply took advantage of the end of the promotion period of the new single and asked the agent for leave directly, saying that she wanted to take a break for a while.
When a popular idol asks for leave, the agent will definitely not agree.
But in Koizumi's opinion, the pressure of the office is not worth mentioning compared to her relationship with Hideki Hanyu.
However, she did not forcefully push back, but directly explained to her agent that she had seen Hideki Hanyu less and less recently, and she was a little worried about the change in the relationship.
When the agent heard that Hanyu Hideki was involved, he didn't dare to make a decision on his own, and finally reported the matter to the president Zhou Fang Ikuo.
After Zhou Fang Yuxiong learned about this, he immediately began to think about it.
After Kyoko Koizumi and Hideki Hanyu had a relationship.
Cloud Entertainment treats Koizumi like half of his own artist, and all kinds of resources are easily opened to Koizumi Kyoko.
There is also Genie Entertainment, a game advertising endorsement, and a promotion ambassador for the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition.
I don't know how many benefits Koizumi has reaped, but his firm has directly benefited.
If this relationship disappears, then the follow-up resources will undoubtedly have to be greatly discounted.
He knows the niece who is in charge of cloud entertainment very well, and he has always been business-oriented.
The last time I helped save people, I have to return the favor afterwards.
Without Hanyu Hideki's instructions, he couldn't force his niece to give Koizumi Kyoko resources.
So in his opinion, the relationship between Kyoko Koizumi and Hideki Hanyu must continue to be maintained.
Zhou Fang Yuxiong thought of this, and made an announcement without hesitation.
It said that Koizumi needs to rest for a period of time due to physical reasons, and when he will recover will be notified separately.
Then there was this phone call from Kyoko Koizumi.
"Coming to Amerika?"
Hideki Hanyu patiently explained, "But I'm going to Las Vegas to work soon." ”
When Koizumi heard about Las Vegas, he became more and more expectant.
She coquettishly said, "The teacher will let me go, I'm good and will never disturb the teacher's work." ”
Hideki Hanyu repeatedly dissuaded him, but seeing that it had no effect, he could only nod his head in agreement.
And by the way, let Reiko Uemura help Koizumi book a first-class ticket for today.
On the afternoon of the second day, Hideki Hanyu went to the San Jose International Plane and picked up Kyoko Koizumi at the exit.
After getting in the car, Hideki Hanyu just told Marco to go back to the hotel.
Koizumi hugged him like no one else and took the initiative to give him his cherry lips.
After a while, the little goblin leaned affectionately on Hanyu Hideki, "Teacher, I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you so much." ”
The leprechaun knows that as a woman, what to say and do will make Hanyu Hideki happy.
Give more, ask for less, recognize the reality, and don't have unrealistic illusions.
In this way, the relationship can continue to be stable.
"Okay, Marco is still ahead, let's talk about what I have to say back to the hotel."
Hideki Hanyu scratched the elf's nose.
"Okay." The leprechaun agreed.
But when the two returned to the hotel, the goblin didn't speak anymore, but started to act directly.
Naturally, the results need not be said.
The First World War was in full swing.
……
At noon the next day, Hideki Hanyu called the front desk of the hotel and asked him to help deliver a lunch.
Turning his head to look at the little goblin with a peach blossom face, he said helplessly, "That's what you said, it won't disturb my work." ”
This is the first time he has slept in the exhibition since he began to prepare for the exhibition.
Seeing that it's almost a little bit old, I definitely can't go to Silicon Valley today.
But it doesn't matter, just give yourself a day off.
How can you be a boss, but you are as busy as an employee.
When the little goblin heard what he said, he hugged Hanyu Hideki with a look of intoxication and put his head on Hanyu Hideki's chest.
"It's not that the teacher is too lihai."
After speaking, he touched the muscles in Hideki Hanyu's chest and asked in surprise, "Why do I feel that the teacher's figure is better." ”
When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he thought to himself, can it not be amazing?
Hanging out with a bunch of big men all day long, holding back for so long, if you weren't concentrating on work, you wouldn't be familiar with this side.
According to his character, he would have gone out to have fun a long time ago.
As for being in better shape, that's not an illusion of a goblin.
A young man in his early twenties, his energy has nowhere to vent.
He simply became a member of a nearby professional iron gym and went to it several times a week.
Under the guidance of the iron hall coach, the body shaping effect is obvious.
I have to say that this kind of thing is really addictive, and now if you don't go for a long time, you will feel a little uncomfortable.
It seems that even if I go back to Tokyo, I will have to set up a gym at home.
In the past, it was just dancing at most, but now I think it seems good to add some strength training.
At least the little goblin he killed last night lost his armor and abandoned his armor, which is the credit of this period of exercise.
He is still full of energy now, but the little goblin leans over and begs for mercy first, and he only dares to speak as fast as he can.
The two had lunch in their room, and after a short rest, Hideki Hanyu took the leprechaun for a stroll around San Jose.
In the evening, he took the goblin to the land he had just bought and read the first draft of the design from a design company in Los Angeles.
The room has direct access to the lakeside infinity pool and water park.
Underwater fenced fishing grounds, helipads, tennis courts, basketball courts, mini football fields, nice private landscaping ......
The underground garage that can park 50 cars, and the 1,700-square-meter super-large residence on the first floor alone, using the latest technology in the home system.
Looking at the renderings of the mansion that seemed to exist only in fantasy, the little goblin was completely shocked.
"How much does it cost to build such a big house?"
In a place where every inch of neon is valuable, how can you see such an exaggerated house.
"If you build it yourself, it's actually not expensive."
Hideki Hanyu wasn't talking nonsense.
A house of this level, even according to the current housing prices, will be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars.
But if it is actually built, it is estimated that the cost is not as good as those top apartments near New York's Central Park.
It is estimated that if all of them are built, they will not be able to reach 20 million US dollars.
But even so, it is a huge amount of money in this era.
"When will this house be built?" Kyoko Koizumi asked excitedly.
It seems that when the house is built, she will definitely come to experience it.
"It is expected that the construction period will be more than a year." Hideki Hanyu said.
"It's going to take so long." Kyoko Koizumi said disappointedly.
"It's been soon."
Hanyu thought to himself that this was the reason why he used his money ability to speed up his progress even further.
If it is according to the original cycle, it will take two or three years.
"Then when the house is built, I must come and live for a while." Koizumi said wistfully.
"Staying for a while? Are you sure you have the time to come? Hanyu looked skeptical.
Koizumi had truthfully explained to him last night what reason he got his rest and vacation.
He didn't have any opinion on the goblin using him as a shield.
And what the little goblin was worried about was that he would alienate the other party, and Hanyu Hideki never thought about it.
It's just that when he's busy with work, it's easy to forget other things, and he doesn't deliberately snub women.
As long as these women don't do things that touch the bottom line, in his opinion, spending a little money to support them is not a big deal.
And Kyoko Koizumi used this excuse to find him this time, and it will not be so easy to use it again in the future.
Popular idols are all cash cows, Zhou Fang Yuxiong can give him face once, and it is impossible to give them one after another.
Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu pulled the goblin to sit on the grass in the clearing.
Then he asked directly, "How many years do you have left on your contract with Zhou Fangsang's firm?" ”
"I signed for seven years after my debut." The leprechaun replied.
"That is, it won't end until 1988, do you have any plans for that time?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"Intended?"
Koizumi Kyoko suddenly fell into confusion.
At that time, it was not known what would happen to her idol career.
If Hideki Hanyu is willing to marry her, then of course she can be Mrs. Hanyu with peace of mind.
But this kind of thought, you don't have to guess to know that it is impossible, Hanyu Hideki's character is very clear to her, a prodigal son, obviously has no intention of settling down.
And with Hideki Hanyu's current situation, even if he wants to get married, he can only find young ladies from those big families.
Thinking of this, Koizumi Kyoko said, "How about I move to the cloud when the time comes." ”
Saying this, Koizumi Kyoko is still quite looking forward to it.
If she were an artist with entertainment on the cloud, the current neon "Flower Girlfriend" audition would not appear at all.
The female artists who can sign contracts with Yunshang Arts are either inappropriate in style, or too young, who can compete with her.
really entered the cloud arts, with the support of Hanyu Hideki, I am afraid that there will be too many resources to be used up by then.
Who wants to face Kyoko Koizumi's expectations, but Hanyu Hideki shook his head directly.
"Zhou Fangsang won't let you move."
What are you kidding, the people that Zhou Fang Yuxiong has cultivated with great difficulty will easily hand them over to others.
That's the neon entertainment world, not the American entertainment industry.
Even if the contract is over, don't think about switching to another company without the permission of your former firm.
Cloud Entertainment has always cooperated well with Zhou Fang Yuxiong, and it is impossible for Hanyu Hideki to dig into each other's corners in this matter.
After all, he has to consider the relationship between Asako Hirohashi and Ikuo Zhoufang.
can't let Hirohashi Asako be caught in the middle because of his woman, and it's hard to be a person.
"What?" Kyoko Koizumi was a little disappointed.
Seeing the little goblin's disappointed expression, Hanyu Hideki still gave a suggestion, "But you can't move, but it's not like there's no other way." ”
"What's the solution?" Kyoko Koizumi was immediately interested.
"Zhou Fangsang is still very supportive of his subordinates going out to start a business, and when the time comes, you can discuss with Zhou Fangsang to set up a firm by yourself, and then join the Combustion Department, and at the same time run your own, you can also try to sign some new people."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Kyoko Koizumi pointed at herself in disbelief.
"If I set up an office and sign a new person, I can't be the president?"
As for his own level, Kyoko Koizumi is very clear.
She's not material to be a strong woman at all.
"When the time comes, there will be the help of the combustion department, and you can also cooperate with cloud entertainment, you can act as a network mascot, and you can hire people to do the management and operation."
Hanyu Hideki's words made Koizumi Kyoko a little moved, if she could really do it, she wouldn't be as busy as she is now.
But I thought it was still early at that time, so I was happy again.
"Forget it, it's too early to say this, let's go back to the hotel."
"Okay."
The two returned to the hotel, and there was no need to elaborate on the night.
On the second day, Hideki Hanyu, who had easily cleaned up the little goblin, escaped from the gentle countryside and went to the elf entertainment branch to check the preparations for the exhibition.
Next, except for a woman by his side, life is still the same rhythm as before.
As the time for the opening of the exhibition approached, the staff of Genie Entertainment left for Las Vegas.
In order to experience America's road culture, Hideki Hanyu chose to ride with his employees instead of flying.
Silicon Valley is about 900 kilometers from Las Vegas.
Because you have to follow the train that pulls things, the driving speed is not too fast.
It took more than ten hours to finally arrive.
The scenery along the way was quite new at first, but it was boring to look at.
Especially when you enter Nevada, the closer you get to Las Vegas, the more monotonous the scenery becomes.
In addition to the long yellow sand, there is nothing else, and it is really boring to see.
Fortunately, he has a Pokeball 2 handheld with him, which he can use to pass the time.
However, he didn't play with this machine for long, and it was occupied by Koizumi Kyoko.
Leprechauns have little interest in Pokémon, but they love to play Tetris so much that they can't help themselves along the way.
It can be seen that the character design of the beautiful girl in the game of the other party is worthy of the name.
But when they arrived in Las Vegas, they saw the exceptionally bustling city in the desert, especially the large shopping malls.
Kyoko Koizumi immediately put the game behind her, and regardless of the fatigue of the journey, she took Hideki Hanyu and went shopping.
As a result, the first time Hanyu Hideki arrived in Las Vegas, it was not rest, not work, but was pulled by his own woman to go shopping.
A few hours later, after spending tens of thousands of dollars and carrying several packages, large and small, they finally returned to the hotel.
Looking at Kyoko Koizumi, who was happily trying on the clothes she had just bought, in the living room of the suite, Hideki Hanyu emphasized.
"I'm going to work at the exhibition tomorrow, but I don't have time to go shopping with you."
Hearing Hanyu Hideki's words, the little goblin who was trying on clothes suddenly pouted.
"People don't buy clothes to show the teacher, don't the teachers like it?"
As she spoke, Kyoko Koizumi happened to be trying on a pink silk pajamas.
The smooth silk pajamas perfectly show the girl's beautiful figure, but with a looming feeling.
Hanyu Hideki couldn't take his eyes off for a while, and it was hard to say three words of dislike.
Seeing that Hanyu Hideki was looking at her, the goblin deliberately put on a flirtatious pose.
The voice was charming, "Doesn't the teacher want to give me a lesson?" ”
……
Although beauty is good, career is more important.
Hanyu Hideki, who had made up for the goblin for a night's lesson, went to the exhibition the next day refreshed.
Although the place is still the same place, this time the treatment of Elf Entertainment is very different.
Last time, they couldn't buy a good spot even if they spent money.
But this time it was different, Poké Balls were a big hit, and they got the same treatment as other big factories.
In this exhibition, Genie Entertainment spent a lot of money to rent one of the largest booths at the exhibition site.
When Hideki Hanyu arrived, Satoshi Iwata was directing the staff and workers to set up the booth.
At the last exhibition, Hideki Hanyu's row of TV advertisements attracted a large number of visitors.
This is an effective means, and of course Genie Entertainment will not forget.
Several of the largest TVs available on the market were hung above the booth.
No matter which direction you walk by, you're sure to see a TV.
In addition to the TV, there should be a live trial area.
The location of the trial area is very clever, and it is very convenient to queue up no matter which entrance you take on both sides.
Obviously, everyone thinks that at this exhibition, the Pokeball 2 handheld will be welcomed by everyone, just like last year's Poké Ball.
In addition to these arrangements, of course, there is also a game arcade.
In the sales of Elf Entertainment America this year, in addition to toys beginning to occupy the lion's share, the second place is still Poké Ball.
But in third place is not a computer game, but an arcade game.
The arcade substrate and the whole machine combined, the arcade game alone, in less than half a year, has helped the elf entertainment division to create a turnover of more than 60 million.
After the Atari impact, console games were completely wiped out, and computer games survived.
Arcade games, however, were not affected much, and after a brief period of depression, they began to recover quickly.
Especially in the small towns of America, where computers are not widely available, arcades are the only option for them to try the game.
And the Elf Entertainment division is very lucky, in fact, it is not only Elf Entertainment, but the entire neon arcade game business is very lucky.
In this season, American games companies have been hit hard, or they have transformed to computer games.
Neon arcade game providers such as Genie Entertainment, Nintendo, and Konami have enjoyed the dividends of this wave of arcade game recovery.
However, arcade games are just embellishments, and if you can pull a little order at the exhibition, it is a little order.
This time, the protagonist is still the Pokeball 2 handheld.
At the beginning of the exhibition, the trial area, which occupies the largest area of the entire booth, will be set up with a trial body.
Lovers of animatronic pets will be able to experience the enhanced version of the "animatron pet" "Pokémon Red/Green".
And if you simply like games, you can play Tetris.
However, the cartridges of the trial machine are sealed in advance to avoid being stolen by the tourists who try the game.
In addition to these hardware arrangements, other arrangements are also essential.
Throughout the booth, you can see the characters and dolls, posters, and large statues of Elf Entertainment's games.
As soon as you get closer, you can feel the strong "corporate culture" of Elf Entertainment.
In fact, these booth layout plans have been designed before coming.
Seeing that there were no major problems, Hanyu continued to let Iwata Satoru take command while he wandered around the pavilion.
Opposite Genie Entertainment is Sony's booth.
At this time, he was also busy with the layout of the booth, and the on-site conductor was still an acquaintance.
Last year, I met at the Las Vegas Neon Business Exchange Conference.
The future head of Sony Entertainment, the father of the "PS" console.
When Hideki Hanyu saw Takeru Kusaki, Takeru Hisaki also discovered Hideki Hanyu.
Immediately greeted him, "Hanyu-sensei, long time no see." ”
"I haven't seen you for a long time, I've been good for a long time, but I didn't expect that we would still be neighbors this year."
Hideki Hanyu made a joke.
This year, there are two such booth layouts, and of course it is no problem to say that they are neighbors.
But last year, Genie Entertainment was just a small shrimp hidden in the shadow of Sony's booth.
Hisakumi glanced at the Elf Entertainment booth that was also being arranged opposite, and said with emotion, "Mr. Hanyu's business is really developing fast, even Sony is very envious of Pokeball's performance in America." ”
As soon as Ken Kutsumi Yoshiki said this, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Envy?
Envy is the reason why Sony let its companies engage in a copycat and compete with us for the market?
It turned out that after the sales of Tuoma Gezi exploded, Sony was also one of the companies that followed the trend to launch electronic pets.
However, instead of the Sony brand, it is a subsidiary like Sanyo.
However, Sony obviously did not grasp the essence of the electronic pet, although their electronic pet configuration is far better than Takuma Utako, but the content is like a piece of soaring.
When it was listed, it was cold, and Hideki Hanyu, whose sales were dismal, were too lazy to pay attention.
If it weren't for Sony, he probably wouldn't have known about it at all.
However, although I complained in my heart, I should be polite when I was polite.
"The praise of Liangmu Sang is too much, compared to Sony, the results of Elf Entertainment are really nothing."
"Mr. Hanyu is too modest, Sony also started from a young age, I am very optimistic about the development of Elf Entertainment, and I hope that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
The words of Ken Yoshiki reminded Hideki Hanyu of the cooperation between Sony and Nintendo.
Although the cooperation broke down, there is a suspicion of Nintendo's backstabbing.
But if Sonny said that he didn't harbor evil intentions and was innocent, he wouldn't believe it.
Think of Sony's disc patents, before the development of semiconductor storage technology, game discs in the nineties were definitely a problem that could not be bypassed.
If he doesn't want to work with Philips, he can only choose Sony.
Therefore, he did not say it on the spot, but said vaguely, "If you can cooperate with Sony, it will be an honor for Elf Entertainment." ”
After a few idle words with Hisaku Yoshiki, Hanyu Hideki walked around again.
Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba, Samsung, LG......
The core area of the exhibition hall was visited by him one by one.
Seeing that neon companies occupy most of the main booths, I can't help but sigh in my heart, at this time, neon's electronic products are really invincible all over the world.
No wonder from next year, America will clean it up.
This is exactly what the tree means.
However, after looking at the core area, there was no company in sight, and Hanyu Hideki was always a little uneasy.
So he walked towards the more remote booths around him.
Soon, in a remote corner location, he found the business he wanted to see.
Nintendo.
Looking at it from a distance, it seems that Nintendo's main products this year are still old-fashioned handhelds and arcade machines.
The NES console modified from the FC console has not seen a single one, not even a poster.
Nintendo didn't even try it?
Or did you try it and found that the seller didn't want to deal with it at all, so you gave up?
Hideki Hanyu couldn't guess why.
But for him, for Elf Entertainment, this is really good news.
Just as he was about to get closer to make sure, he suddenly heard someone calling behind him.
When I turned my head to look, I found that it was Satoshi Iwata, who was supposed to be in the command booth.
The other party was in a hurry, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and seemed to have been looking for him for a while.
"What's wrong with the booth?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"It's not the booth, it's Mr. Michael Katz, and he told me to tell President Hanyu to go back to the hotel immediately."
"Could it be that there is a problem on the seller's side?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
Michael Katz also arrived in Las Vegas, but because he had something to discuss with the seller, he didn't come to the pavilion in the morning, but stayed at the hotel.
"The person who came to inform didn't say why, but just said that it was related to the neon headquarters, and asked President Hanyu to hurry to the hotel." Satoshi Iwata said.
"I'll go."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the exhibition hall with a somewhat solemn expression.
Marco's car was outside, and he got into it and told him to go back to the hotel.
Before arriving at the hotel, Hideki Hanyu thought to himself that something big must have happened, otherwise Michael Katz would not be in such a hurry to call him back.
Seeing that the situation is very good, is there going to be something wrong?
As soon as he returned to the hotel, Hideki Hanyu didn't return to his room and went straight to Michael Katz's room.
Knocking on the door and entering, he saw Michael Katz's expression calm and slightly happy, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like something bad had happened.
And Michael Katz noticed that Hideki Hanyu had a solemn face.
I understood that he had just asked someone to bring the news, and he was worried about talking nonsense, and he didn't explain the reason, so he should have misunderstood Hanyu Hideki.
He didn't explain, though, and instead pointed to the phone in the room.
"Mr. Hanyu don't worry, it's not bad news, Ms. Kitahara is still online, let her tell you."
"Okay."
Hanyu Hideki was not verbose, picked up the phone and asked, "Kitahara-san, I'm Hanyu Hideki, what's wrong with Neon?" ”
"This afternoon, Sega issued an announcement to the media, saying that a new product launch will be held tomorrow."
Due to the time difference between Tokyo and America, the afternoon that Eri Kitahara said was the morning on the American side.
As soon as Eri Kitahara's words came out, Hideki Hanyu immediately asked, "Is it the press conference of the new console?" ”
"Sega didn't say anything, but they sent product manuals to third-party game developers in advance, and of course we did.
This is a family game console called Sega 1000, although it is still an eight-bit machine, but judging by the parameters, it is better than Nintendo's FC console. ”
After Eri Kitahara finished speaking, Hideki Hanyu couldn't bear to be happy.
"Sega is really a friend, if I have the chance, I must invite Hayao Nakayama to dinner!"
He saw that the International Consumer Electronics Show was about to start, and Sega was delayed in releasing the new console, thinking that he couldn't count on it.
Who would have thought that Sega would send an assist at the last minute.
The exhibition starts with two days to go, and if Sega holds a new product launch tomorrow, Nintendo will definitely focus all its attention on Sega.
Sega's new console, which has absorbed Atari technology, if it can be a little more powerful than its previous life, Nintendo will still be in the mood to care about the uncertain market of America.
Although the market for America is good, Nintendo will definitely not want to risk the neon base being overturned by Sega.
And at the critical moment, Hideki Hanyu can also "seek skin with the tiger" and choose to cooperate with Sega to support Sega's authorized games.
"It's too early for a treat or something, at least not yet, when we can't be too close to Sega." Eiri Kitahara is very cautious.
"That's right, we're not in a hurry, just wait and see, even if we want to cooperate, we must not be the first." Hideki Hanyu advised.
"Hanyu-san, don't worry, I'll grasp the scale." Eri Kitahara replied.
"I'll leave the neon matter to Kitahara-san, and when the things on América's side are over, I'll rush back immediately." Hideki Hanyu said.
"Hanyu-san doesn't have to rush, the launch of Pokeball 2 is a little more important for us."
"I understand."
When Hideki Hanyu said this, his expression became scrappy.
From the Asahi Shimbun, Sega samurai were strewn all over the field, asking if Sega was going to be defeated.
It's still this newspaper, but it depicts a Sega samurai holding a knife and shouting a counterattack.
From Hayato Nakayama to Ko Okawa, what the two presidents of Sega brought to Sega was the spirit of a tough guy who could not be killed.
Nintendo's fateful opponent, Sega, who forced Sony's "Second Princess (PS2)" to draw a big pie, is finally here!
The golden age in the history of video games in the world is about to begin!
Elf Entertainment, which has been planning for many years, will also stand on this stage!
The heroes compete for hegemony, and hundreds of boats compete for the stream.
He has to be there!
……
Kyoto.
Nintendo headquarters.
President Uru Yamauchi was holding a product introduction, which was the Sega 1000 host description he asked for from a related party.
Looking at the product description, which item is obviously better than the FC host, Yamauchi Pu couldn't help frowning.
At this time, there were still three people standing in front of Yamauchi Pu.
There is Shigeru Miyamoto, director of software development.
There is the head of the first R&D department, Gunhei Yokoi.
There is also Masahito Hirano, the head of the business department responsible for liaising with third parties.
Yamauchi Pu sat on it, and the three of them looked respectful.
Such a scene, coupled with the indoor atmosphere, is really like a feudal society, where the monarch and the minister play right.
"Yokoi-san, what do you think?" Yamauchi asked Yokoi Gunpei.
Naturally, Junhei Yokoi knew that Pu Yamauchi was asking about Sega's new console.
"From the point of view of parameters, it is indeed a very good host, but whether a host is really good or not cannot be judged only from the parameters."
Gunhei Yokoi replied.
At this time, Shigeru Miyamoto, who was next to him, also spoke, "President Yamauchi, let's not be too nervous. ”
"Why?" Yamauchi asked.
"Sega lacks software support." Shigeru Miyamoto explained.
"Sega has also done a good job with arcade games, and they can fully port arcade games to new consoles." Yamauchi said.
"A lot of Sega's games require arcade performance to play to their advantage, and porting them to consoles will lose their appeal.
Obviously, they are aware of this, and otherwise there would be no need to give instructions to third-party game developers in advance. ”
Shigeru Miyamoto said.
At this time, Masahito Hirano reminded.
"President Yamauchi and several third-party developers who have been in contact with us, including Genie Entertainment, have suspended negotiations."
In Yamauchi's eagle-like eyes, the coldness flashed away, and he casually threw the manual on the table.
"Ignore them, they're all windweeds, they must be waiting for Sega's console to go public."
When Yamauchi said this, he looked at Yokoi Junhei, "How is the preparation of the peripheral light gun?" ”
"It has bypassed the light gun patent of Elf Entertainment, and it can be put into production at any time."
Yamauchi Pu then looked at Shigeru Miyamoto again, "What about the new game, is the test over?" ”
"It's over, and now it's ready to be put into production."
Shigeru Miyamoto said this, and smiled, "Actually, I should be grateful to Elf Entertainment, their ice cube has given me a lot of inspiration." ”
"Very good, when Sega's console is launched, I will send two gifts to President Nakayama."
But when Yamauchi said this, he always felt a little strange.
Obviously, today's conversation is for Sega, but it turns out that everyone mentions it the most, but it is Genie Entertainment.
His son-in-law, Minoru Arakawa, had previously called him from America to tell him.
Genie Entertainment intends to unveil the second generation of electronic Poké Balls at the Consumer Electronics Show in Amerika.
It's a new company with real energy.
It's a shame to say that the potential of this club was not discovered too early, otherwise Nintendo would have had a chance to get it.
Obviously, Nintendo made its fortune by making cards and toys.
But now in terms of toy peripheral sales, Elf Entertainment has surpassed Nintendo with several popular game images.
However, Genie Entertainment, the practice of creating a backstory for every game, is also learning from Nintendo.
When the new game that Shigeru Miyamoto mentioned earlier is released, Nintendo will also cooperate with Kodansha.
At that time, Nintendo's carefully crafted manga stories will be simultaneously logged into "Weekly Shonen Magazine".
Thinking of this, Yamauchi Pu's ambition rose again.
Nintendo is a good learner and is not afraid of any challenge!
……
Koizumi Kyoko is a little confused, Hanyu Hideki has obviously gone out for a busy day, and when she comes back, she still has the energy to toss her.
Obviously she hadn't heard of it, there was a saying that 'career is the best medicine for men'.
Hideki Hanyu is now full of ambition and plans to punch Sega and kick Nintendo in the future.
How can a day's work vent the excitement in his heart.
On the second day, Hideki Hanyu continued on to the pavilion.
The little goblin was bored in the hotel alone yesterday, and there was always a time when he got tired of the game, so he simply followed Hanyu Hideki to the exhibition site.
The two of them had just entered the hall, and they didn't do anything before they came to the elf entertainment booth, but someone came up first.
"I'm here to inform Hanyu-sensei of something."
It was no one else who found Hideki Hanyu, it was the person in charge of Sony's booth, Ken Yoshiki Kuzuki.
"Please speak." Hideki Hanyu said.
"In this international consumer electronics exhibition, there will still be a neon enterprise exchange meeting, but in order not to disturb the normal work of enterprises after the start of the exhibition, the time has been advanced to the day before the opening."
Kutsumi Ryoki said, handing the invitation to Hideki Hanyu.
In addition to the ambassador of the Neon Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sony is also one of the organizers of the exchange meeting.
That's why Ken Hisakuki came to give Hanyu Hideki an invitation.
Looking at the forehead of Elf Entertainment written on the cover of the invitation card, as well as the location and time of the exchange meeting.
It's 7:30 p.m. tomorrow, and the location is still last year's MGM Hotel.
Hideki Hanyu nodded and said, "I'll definitely arrive." ”
Hisaku Ryoki Ken glanced at Kyoko Koizumi beside Hideki Hanyu and reminded him again.
"Tomorrow Hanyu-sensei can bring his female companion with him, and we will see if there will be any media present."
Obviously, Hisaku Yoshiki Ken recognized the identity of Kyoko Koizumi.
After all, it is a "top-rated" female idol with neon second only to Genki Girl, Akina Nakamori, and Seiko Matsuda, and it is not surprising that the little goblin is recognized.
"Thank you for a long time, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Hideki Hanyu and Ken Yoshiki Kutsumi say goodbye to each other.
After the long Yoshiki Ken left, the little goblin immediately asked excitedly.
"Can I go with the teacher?"
"It's all old man entrepreneurs, are you sure you want to go?"
Hanyu Hideki thought to himself, but he didn't see that the other party was still a fun-loving character.
If it weren't for the organization of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the endorsement of a bunch of big companies, he would not have had the slightest interest in it.
"I'm sure, please take me there."
"I'll go together if I'm not bored, but you didn't bring a dress this time, so I'll leave early and help you choose a dress."
Hanyu Hideki agreed, and the goblin was very happy.
As a result, when he heard that he could still go shopping and buy clothes, the goblin was even happier.
I can't wait to hold Hanyu Hideki and nibble twice, but on this occasion, I can only pretend to be obedient and nod yes.
