After the press conference of Performing Arts on the Cloud.

The conflict between the Son of the Sun and the Janis entertainer began to be reported by a large number of media.

If the child of the sun apologized at the press conference, the media attention was not so high.

But the son of the sun showed a posture of not being afraid of power, challenging tradition, and refusing to apologize.

But it really hit the excitement of the media and the public.

This gives everyone a gimmick of hype and attention.

However, everyone in the industry knows that what is hidden under the news is the secret confrontation between the two forces.

The purpose of cloud entertainment is already very clear, that is, to use this incident to pour dirty water on the entire Genesys office.

Constantly use its influence to publish articles in the media.

To make the public feel that Genesys is a rotten firm that embraces stereotypes.

The idol launched by Genesys is also the kind of vicious artist who is traditional and likes to use his identity to bully his juniors.

To a certain extent, in order to achieve this purpose, Cloud Entertainment is to completely defeat the Genesys Office.

Even at the risk of sacrificing the combination of the Child of the Sun.

After all, once their ultimate goal is not achieved, the children of the sun do not have enough sense of identity to protect themselves.

The consequence of this challenge to tradition is that it is difficult to move an inch in the circle.

Naturally, it is impossible for Genesys to achieve the purpose of cloud entertainment.

At the time of life and death, the Kitagawa siblings mobilized all their personal connections.

They are a constant distraction from the public in the newspapers.

Trying to limit the scope of the incident to the entertainment industry, and stop at the conflict between artists and artists.

Thanks to the efforts of Genesys, their plan seems to be going to succeed.

On the other hand, cloud entertainment has a feeling of not being able to grasp the key points.

Their public opinion is guided by a label that sticks to the Jennis firm, but does not spread the scope of the incident.

This led to the good use of public opinion by Genesys to slowly limit the incident to the scope of the entertainment industry.

Something happens in the entertainment industry, and ordinary people are at most lively to watch.

I don't delve into the deeper meaning at all, and the attention drops very quickly.

Therefore, even if Cloud Entertainment continues to label Genesys Office, as long as the news heat passes, then naturally no one pays attention to these labels.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to January 12th.

Three days after the press conference was held.

Seeing that the plan of the Kitagawa siblings has succeeded.

An incident that started out quite a lot of trouble was eventually confined to the confines of the entertainment world.

Regarding the conflict of the artists and the statement of the son of the sun, everyone only regards it as an interesting thing after dinner.

The "rebellious" image of the Son of the Sun is anti-traditional, anti-authoritarian, despite the growing popularity among young people.

But it made those parents even more annoying.

After all, no parent likes to turn their child into a rebellious child who rebels against authority.

At this time, the Yomiuri Shimbun published an editorial article with an eye-catching headline.

"Burn Yourself and Be a Fool Who Challenges the Windmill!" 》

The author of this editorial article is named 'Mr. Sakurasai'.

As a public leader who has criticized the disadvantages of neon society countless times, he is full of enthusiasm for the development of neon, and he has promoted the progress of neon education in one fell swoop.

Mr. Sakurasai has a high influence among intellectuals.

His articles are not published easily, but as long as they appear, they are by no means trivial.

Therefore, as soon as his editorial article came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire neon cultural circle.

In this editorial article, Mr. Sakurasai starts from the conflict between the son of the sun and the Janis artist, and targets the neon and ugly cultural traditions of the predecessors and predecessors.

Because of their status, those people can say that what is black is white.

Because of their status, those people can harm others with impunity.

When young people live in such a society where even fairness and justice cannot be guaranteed, what future does neon have......

'If the world can't be changed, if my words disgust some, bury me with this ugly neon!' ’

The fearless spirit of Mr. Sakurasai's essay denouncing stereotypes.

The kind of martyr rhetoric that changed the world.

In an instant, the whole cultural world climaxed.

Especially his intellectual admirers.

After seeing that the spiritual leaders all sounded the battle horn, the first proclamation was issued.

These public intellectuals can still bear it, and they have put pen to paper, challenging the ugly neon in their eyes.

Just like the previous discriminatory treatment incidents.

Originally, it was just an event within a small circle.

After the public knowledge of the neon cultural circles came to an end, it immediately brewed into a social event that swept the whole neon.

The media saw that the hot spot was up, and quickly followed up in order to sell.

For a while, in various schools and societies, the news of seniors using their identities to bully their juniors began to be reported.

What club seniors fancy the female employees who have just graduated, and if they can't pursue it, they will directly and forcibly insult them, and in the end, the female juniors will be fired from the club.

What workplace seniors make things difficult for juniors, arrange a lot of work, and cause juniors to die of overwork.

……

In the beginning, people will more or less find some real things to report.

But as the popularity became higher and higher, they really couldn't find suitable news, so everyone simply started making up stories.

The mainstream media still has to nod face, and the story is at least not so exaggerated.

But some tabloids don't have so many scruples, and all kinds of appalling stories are completely varied and unscrupulous.

The public watched these stories, and then were "bewitched" by those well-known in the cultural circles, and for a time they were indignant and began to collectively bombard the system of seniors and seniors.

But the power of tradition is not so easy to change.

These mainstream media outlets have followed so many articles.

The image of a media person who is full of social indignation is just for the sake of circulation, and it is just for ordinary people to see.

They themselves are old clubs, and the top management is all beneficiaries of tradition.

Let them report it, let them correct it, that's simply impossible.

This is the same as the later South Korean chaebol invested in making a film that criticizes the chaebol.

Not only did I do it, but I also filmed it for the people of P, and while making your money, I just didn't change it.

So the neon people who are in high mood, after venting their dissatisfaction in their hearts, find that they are powerless to change the entire neon society.

At this time, the surging public opinion urgently needs a place to vent.

As the so-called persimmon should be pinched softly.

Compared with the deep-rooted traditional culture of the neon society, Genesys is undoubtedly a soft persimmon.

Prior to this, Genesys Firm, which had been unknowingly labeled by Yunshang Arts, immediately became the target of public criticism.

Soon, a large number of people, under the leadership of some public intellectuals, gathered outside the headquarters of Genesys Firm with banners and big-character posters.

The intellectuals held megaphones and led the people to criticize the actions of the Genesys firm.

At this time, "Weekly Wenchun", known as Wen Chun's cannon, sent an assist.

You must know that in a concentration of self-proclaimed intellectuals like the weekly Wenchun, there are also many admirers of Mr. Sakurasai.

Therefore, when Mr. Sakurasai's editorial article came out, some people held back their energy and wanted to make a big news.

The Genesys firm was besieged, and they immediately dug up some of the materials they had previously investigated, and reported it with slight modifications.

Johnny Kitagawa, the ugly child prostitute! 》

As soon as this report of "Weekly Wenchun" came out, Genesys was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

For the media, the favorite thing to do is to beat the water dogs.

When the Genesys firm is strong, everyone naturally doesn't want to offend.

But in the face of this kind of scene of the wall falling down and everyone pushing it, even the forces behind the Genesys firm can't stop the surging public opinion.

The most important thing is that some people in the upper echelons do not want society to continue to criticize "traditional culture".

It is undoubtedly the best choice to help everyone find a punching bag to distract the public.

Genesys has become the best target at the moment.

For a time, various criticisms in the media about Genesys emerged one after another.

has been covered in the lid, and Johnny Kitagawa's child prostitution scandal has also been widely reported.

In just a few days, the Genesys office has become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats, and is besieged by the neon society.

The headquarters of Genesys & Associates.

President's Office.

Through the window, Johnny Kitagawa looked out the window at the crowd of protesters.

Although he really wanted to order the security personnel to drive these people away from the door.

But looking at the people who took the lead, reason told him that he couldn't do this.

Those people are all famous figures in the neon culture world.

These people can scold you, if you really dare to be rude, then wait for the collective counterattack of the entire cultural community.

"Bastard! Do they think that by bringing down Janiss, they will be able to change Neon? ”

Mary Kitagawa next to him said annoyedly.

"Of course they know it's impossible, but the populace needs a target to vent their anger, and the top needs a distracting scapegoat"

Johnny Kitagawa said with emotion, "Cloud Entertainment was waiting for this opportunity, and we were fooled at the beginning. ”

"So what now?" Mary Kitagawa asked.

"If the higher echelons can find us as scapegoats, then we must also find a scapegoat."

Johnny Kitagawa said and looked at his sister, "It's time to give up." ”

Mary Kitagawa understood what her brother meant, and Masahiko Kondo, who had always been protected by her, had to give up.

As for the astringent persimmon team that is also involved.

First, the value is higher than that of Kondo Masahiko.

Second, the incident did not start because of them.

can think of Kondo Masahiko's "sensible", Mary Kitagawa is still a little reluctant to say.

"Even if you give up Kondo Masahiko, I'm afraid this matter won't be settled."

"I naturally know this, so I will also resign as president and be replaced by you, sister."

As soon as Johnny Kitagawa said this, Mary Kitagawa was silent on the surface, but her heart immediately became excited.

Taking over the power of Genesys was something she had dreamed of for a long time.

For the sake of this, sacrificing a Kondo Masahiko doesn't seem like a big deal either.

……

January 16th

Genesys held a press conference.

Johnny Kitagawa showed his talent for bowing, faced the media reporters on the spot, and bowed ninety degrees to apologize.

After deep remorse, in order to apologize, Johnny Kitagawa announced his resignation as president of Genesys Office.

Mary Kitagawa, who took over as president, said in a dignified manner that she would carry out a thorough reorganization of the Genesys office.

And with the initiator of the incident, Masahiko Kondo, terminated all contracts.

Entertainment on the cloud.

A group of high-level executives watched the performance of the Kitagawa siblings in the live TV screen.

Asako Hirohashi said with a sneer.

"If you want to learn how to survive with a broken tail of a gecko, how can it be so easy, don't relax in the public relations department, the opportunity is rare, don't give Genesys a chance to turn over."

Next to him, seeing Kitagawa's sister and brother so embarrassed, Matsui Motogui, who was extremely happy in his heart, still didn't want to give up.

remembered that he was cornered by the Kitagawa sisters and brothers, and the fire of hatred could not be quelled.

So he said to Asako Hirohashi, "President Hirohashi, I have an idea. ”

"Matsui-san, please speak."

"Kondo Masahiko was given up by Genesys Agency, and with what I know about him, once he loses his star status and has a unsatisfactory life, he will definitely be dissatisfied, and he will definitely bite Genesy back when the time comes."

Matsui Motogui has been Kondo's agent.

I know Kondo Masahiko very well about his character.

"If memory serves, he must have made a lot of money in Genesys." Asako Hirohashi said.

"I have some savings, but I know some friends who can ......"

Before Matsui Motoki finished speaking, Asako Hirohashi immediately raised her hand to interrupt.

"Matsui-san, I didn't hear anything, I don't know anything, understand?"

Matsui Motoki immediately bowed down and said, "I understand, these are my thoughts, and they have nothing to do with the club. ”

……

And just when the neon public opinion circle was making a fuss because of the reaction of the Genesys firm.

Hideki Hanyu, who was far away in America, was sitting on the balcony of the San Jose City Hotel, watching the sun set in the distance, writing and drawing on the drawing paper in front of him.

After coming to America for more than a week, his life seems a little uneventful compared to the excitement of the neon side.

During work hours, he stayed in the R&D center and led the team to test the host of Genie Entertainment.

After work, in addition to going to the iron hall to exercise, he has nothing to do, which is to engage in creation.

In addition to the picture book, of course, there is also the follow-up story of "The Falling Rabbit".

After all, he is now a world-renowned picture book author.

How popular Neon is, there is basically no need to go into detail.

As long as his new picture book is released, the sales in the first week will be equivalent to the sales of other picture book writers in a year.

As for overseas, the best sales of his picture books are mainly in Asia and Europe.

As for the American market, perhaps because of style, everyone is not interested in his works with a slightly literary temperament, so the sales can only be regarded as ordinary.

But it doesn't matter, the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" comic alone is enough for him to eat in America.

Picture books are good for brushing up on frames.

Anyway, the rich people in America eat this set.

European-recognized literary picture book writers still have a lot of face here.

Just then, the phone in the suite rang suddenly.

When Hideki Hanyu picked it up, a smile quickly appeared on his face.

"It's good, it's a pity I'm not here, otherwise I'd really like to see those two people on TV."

The call he received was from Asako Hirohashi, who told him about the current situation of Neon.

As long as there is a change in public opinion recently, Asako Hirohashi will tell him as soon as possible.

After saying goodbye to Asako Hirohashi, Hideki Hanyu hung up the phone satisfied.

Johnny Kitagawa resigned, Masahiko Kondo was terminated from his contract, and Genesys was riddled with scandals.

The goal that Hanyu Hideki wanted was basically achieved.

As for Motoki Matsui, who wants revenge, what will he do, Hideki Hanyu and Asako Hirohashi have an attitude, he doesn't know anything.

Well......

I hope that Matsui Motoki will give a little more force.

It's really not okay, and it's not impossible for him to help match up and introduce a few "professionals".

However, to "harm others" is to benefit oneself.

Taking advantage of the hot news, Cloud Music is already preparing to help Sun Son produce a second single.

Still Chuck and Asuka creations, the theme is rebellion, and it will be released when public opinion subsides a little.

In this case, the child of the sun can be said to have earned enough sympathy.

Moreover, under the banner of anti-tradition, they can be regarded as having a "politically correct" protection.

Even if some old things in the circle are no longer used to it, I'm afraid you have to pinch your nose and hold back.

Besides, the Son of the Sun now has the support of cloud arts.

After cleaning up the Genesys Office, in terms of the influence of artists alone, Yunshang Arts already has the momentum to dominate one side.

At this time, there must be a guy who doesn't open his eyes to find fault, and Hanyu Hideki can't wait to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys.

Bang Bang –

Just as Hideki Hanyu was thinking about the situation on the neon side, there was a knock on the door.

Hanyu Hideki opened the door and found that it was the assistant Ishihara Tomoe.

"Hanyu-sensei, it's time to eat."

"I see, I'll go down right away." Hideki Hanyu replied.

Recently, he returned to his room to be busy with his creation, and often forgot to eat, so he specially told Ishihara Tomoe to inform him when he ate.

Back in the room, he packed up his easel.

I didn't change my clothes, so I wore shorts and short sleeves and slippers and walked downstairs.

When I came to America, it was still cold and winter weather in Tokyo.

As a result, when I arrived in California, the sun was shining brightly and the heat was unbearable.

Not to mention that it's rest time, even when he goes to work, he is dressed like this.

Instead of stopping at the hotel restaurant, he went straight to a separate space.

When he arrived, Satoshi Iwata, Tetsuya Aragaki, Tomoe Ishihara, and other neon employees who had come to America on a business trip had already arrived.

Because I really can't get used to the food from Americaka's side.

He simply paid for a few chefs by himself, and he could cook all kinds of Chinese food, neon, and Southeast Asian cuisine.

By the way, I borrowed the hotel's kitchen and asked for a separate area for the hotel to eat.

It may seem like a hassle, but as long as you have dollars, these are not a problem.

He ordered Chinese food today, or Sichuan and Chongqing cuisine.

All kinds of spices and ingredients are purchased from Huaxia just to satisfy his taste buds.

As a wealthy man, he can fully afford such a life.

After he became rich, his life was also changing unconsciously.

What used to seem like a luxury now feels normal.

For example, the water used in the kitchen for cooking does not use the local tap water, which is hard and can make people lose their hair.

All of it is pure water that is flown in from a high-quality water source.

After Hanyu Hideki sat down, he looked around and found that Koji Takida of "Game Base" had not returned, so he asked his assistant Ishihara Tomoe.

"Where is the editor-in-chief Takida now?"

"When I contacted the editor-in-chief Takita in the morning, he was still in New York and may not be back until tomorrow." Tomoe Ishihara replied.

"If he comes back, let me know as soon as he comes."

"Yes, Hanyu-sensei."

This time, Hideki Hanyu brought Koji Takita to Amerika for a very simple purpose.

America's Game Base magazine, with the help of Pokeball 2, sold more than one million copies.

Hideki Hanyu is also preparing to carry out his original plan to prepare for the Electronic Entertainment Expo in America in advance.

That is, the E3 exhibition in later generations.

However, unlike the neon Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Expo, E3 was held in America, and Game Base was only the initiator.

Hideki Hanyu asked Koji Takida to join the head of "Game Base" America.

Liaise with major American publishers, media organizations, and local software companies to form the American Electronic Entertainment Association and co-host the American E3 Exhibition.

After all, the strong dragon is difficult to defeat the head snake, and the "Game Base" family eats alone, even if it is done, it is estimated that it will not be able to keep it, it is better to divide the cake from the beginning.

Anyway, in Hanyu Hideki's view, the E3 exhibition is just to help Elf Entertainment have one more promotion channel.

It is enough to have a certain right to speak, and it is not necessary to take it all into your own hands.

Because even at the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition, Genie Entertainment rarely interferes to control anything.

As for the exhibitors, Hideki Hanyu is not worried at all.

The Pokeball 2 handheld console has allowed game development companies around the world to see the recovery of the American game market.

Everyone was drooling and wanted to get a piece of the pie.

At the beginning of the year, when Genie Entertainment announced that it would accept third-party games to land on the Pokeball 2 handheld platform, it immediately received dozens of game review applications.

From Neon to America, from Asia to Europe, many game developers have great confidence in the Pokeball 2 handheld.

After all, the total sales of more than five million Pokeball 2 handhelds worldwide are enough to generate million-dollar game cartridge sales.

And just look at the cooperation conditions of Elf Entertainment, although the initial conditions are harsh and comparable to Nintendo, but they are more transparent, and the follow-up choices are more fair.

In addition, the system of returning royalties according to sales volume and purchasing cartridge production on their own has also greatly encouraged game developers who have confidence in themselves.

Genie Entertainment has stated that the review cycle is every three months.

Regardless of whether the review is successful or failing, each developer only has one chance every three months, and no more than two games can be submitted at a time, with a maximum of five games per year.

And as long as you submit it for review and confirm that you log in to Pokeball 2, it will automatically become a Pokeball 2 exclusive game, and you will not be allowed to log in to other game platforms.

In other words, a developer can launch up to five games every year, even if each review is successful.

Compared to the current Nintendo limit to the number of games per year, it is undoubtedly stronger.

In fact, in the opinion of the newly established review department of Genie Entertainment, ordinary game developers are not capable of developing so many games every year.

Even if you make so many games shoddy, it is impossible to pass the review level.

In the cooperation rules announced this time, this is not only reviewed.

Genie Entertainment also said that for those small development companies that only have R&D capabilities and do not have the funds to pay production fees and royalties.

If the developed game is good enough to get a high enough score in the review, Genie Entertainment will also take the initiative to pay for it.

Even if you can't even afford to pay for the game, you can evaluate it with a game development plan.

If approved by Genie Entertainment, Genie Entertainment can invest in game development, or directly invest in a game development company.

In short, in order to develop the game market, Genie Entertainment has come up with a set of detailed and feasible solutions.

Compared with the hot sales of FC listing, Nintendo's hastily developed royalty system.

The cooperation system of Elf Entertainment is undoubtedly more thoughtful.

And in this climate, game developers wish there was a platform to help them promote their games.

So when the plan of "Game Base" to unite various forces and establish an electronic entertainment association was proposed, everyone was very interested.

Negotiations with various forces have also been very smooth.

In Hanyu's view, the establishment of an electronic entertainment association is not a problem at all.

It is nothing more than a detailed investment, and the distribution of benefits takes some time.

But it's also very simple, the more you give, the more you get.

At most, a month will be able to negotiate.

When the time comes, everyone will sit together and discuss when the first E3 exhibition will be held.

What is certain is that E3 will have to take place before June.

After all, you can't crash with the International Consumer Electronics Show.

"Game Base" has a lot of experience in organizing exhibitions, and this matter does not need to be worried about by Hanyu Hideki.

There's only one thing he's going to focus on, and that's Genie Entertainment's home hosting.

Don't look at Hideki Hanyu who is just busy with console testing right now, but there are a lot of other things to focus on.

For example, in Neon, in Southeast Asia, in Wanwan Province, foundries in cooperation with Genie Entertainment.

The production of mainframe-related products has officially begun.

The universal accessories of the console, the light gun peripherals that have been finalized, and the bundled light gun game "Duck Hunting" cassette.

There are also the first game cartridges to be sold, including Super Mario Bros., the most popular in America.

With work in mind, the chef has already started to serve the food.

There are three dishes in total, namely mapo tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, and sweet and sour tenderloin.

Each dish is full of color and flavor, which makes Hanyu Hideki's index finger move.

After coming to America, he made more iron, so the amount of food also increased significantly.

In addition, these three dishes are made for him alone, and the portions are not large.

So after three or two efforts, Hanyu Hideki ate cleanly.

After saying goodbye to the staff, Hideki Hanyu returned to his room to continue his work.

When I came to America, I either worked or created, and I went to the Iron Hall to make iron in my spare time.

To some extent, Hanyu Hideki can be regarded as living an ascetic life of self-cultivation and self-cultivation.

According to his character, he naturally doesn't want to do this.

Unfortunately, he really can't be interested in the big girl on America's side.

It's not that the facial features are tough enough to be comparable to a man.

It's that the hair is more luxuriant than he is.

And the body odor that perfume can't suppress.

In addition, he still has to work, and he has no time to hunt beautiful women, so he can only use creation to divert his attention.

The time came to the next day.

Hideki Hanyu went to the R&D center as usual.

However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Satoshi Iwata walking around the door of the R&D center, seemingly waiting for him.

After arriving in America with him, Satoshi Iwata did not participate in the testing of the main engine.

Instead, under the arrangement of Michael Katz, he was in charge of the game development department.

Last year, at the suggestion of Hideki Hanyu, Michael Katz got the idea for a sports game.

He sent staff all over the globe to talk about cooperation, and he contacted organizations such as.

FÉDÉRATION INTERNATIONALE DE MOSPORT, FIFA, UEFA, ORGANISING COMMITTEE OF THE OLYMPIC, IFF, AMERIKA RUGBY LEAGUE, NBA, MAJOR LEAGUES, GOLF ASSOCIATION, ......

In this day and age, the game industry is in the ascendant, and everyone doesn't pay much attention to game licensing.

In addition, the licensing price given by Michael Katz, as well as the share of copyright sales, are also considered conscientious.

On top of that, the sales of Pokeball 2 are here, and the major organizations see a lucrative one.

Therefore, in a few months, Genie Entertainment has won almost all the well-known sports event authorizations.

Since there are no examples that can be referred to before, these game licenses are all in the way of Hollywood copyright licensing.

The initial copyright license is for five years.

According to Hollywood rules, this time can actually be talked about seven years.

But in order to successfully conclude the negotiations, Michael Katz relaxed the conditions.

During the licensing period, Genie Entertainment will automatically obtain the latest derivative copyright.

For example, if a new player appears, he only needs to pay a certain portrait fee in accordance with the contract, and he can automatically obtain a portrait release, and there is no need to sign a separate contract.

Authorized renewals are the same as Hollywood.

Within five years, as long as Genie Entertainment produces copyright-related games, the copyright authorization will be automatically renewed.

A separate royalty is required for each production.

Of course, the game must be released, and there is a minimum sales limit.

Once this sales volume is not reached, the licensing organization also has the right to withdraw the authorization.

But that amount, in Hanyu's view, can be sold completely with his eyes closed.

In order to obtain these rights, Michael Katz spent more than 30 million dollars.

Last year, almost half of the profits from selling Pokeball 2 were spent.

But in Hanyu's opinion, it is extremely cost-effective.

Sports games are a relatively large category in the game industry.

Elf Entertainment acted in advance this time, taking advantage of everyone's unrealization, and almost wiped out this part of the copyright.

Even when the contract was signed, the fledgling concept of the Internet was included.

That is in the copyright authorization, it is agreed that Genie Entertainment will develop games based on Internet technology.

In this day and age, no one knows what this clause means.

But Hideki Hanyu knows that the copyrights of various online games in the future have been easily pocketed.

According to his estimates, when the game market develops in the future, eighty percent of these organizations will regret it, and they will definitely give more benefits to Genie Entertainment.

However, having a contract in hand to negotiate is a completely different thing than asking for a job.

Of course, the reason why Hanyu Hideki asked Michael Katz to give a conscientious condition when negotiating was also to maintain good relations with these organizations.

He also thought that after Neon's satellite channel was launched, he could go to these organizations to negotiate a broadcast agreement for the event.

With interests involved, it is always more convenient to talk about other cooperation.

As for Satoshi Iwata, who was assigned to manage the game development department, he was coordinating the development of these games.

For example, in order to help home consoles open up the European market, football games.

A baseball game preferred by neon players.

Games such as racing, tennis, rugby, etc., preferred by Amerika players.

Hideki Hanyu has only one requirement for these games, and that is that they must be high-quality.

The effect must be far better than the previous sports titles, giving players a better gaming experience.

The reason why he asked for it was because he had confidence in the host of Elf Entertainment.

Confident that the new console will show the effect he wants.

Although the development of the 16-bit console of Genie Entertainment was difficult, it took more than twice as long as the Nintendo FC console.

The hardware cost is much higher than that of the FC host.

But it also comes with incredibly powerful performance.

Better graphics, smoother controls, and more powerful stereo sound......

In Hideki Hanyu's trial games in the past few days, all the performance has exceeded the FC console by one level.

In particular, the graphics processing chip that relies on the custom graphics processing chip of Genie Vision can even support a certain degree of pseudo-3D effect.

As for the easier two-reel effect, it's a breeze.

In today's era, such a host can definitely meet the title of the next era.

At this time, Satoshi Iwata also saw Hideki Hanyu coming and took the lead in greeting him.

"Good morning, President Hanyu."

"Iwata-san, came to me at this time, is there something wrong with the game development department?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"It's not the game development department, it's about the console, and Mr. Katz wants to meet with Hanyu-chan."

"It turned out to be the main machine, and the test went smoothly, but now only the audio part is left, and it can be completed in two or three days at most." Hideki Hanyu said.

"It doesn't seem to be because of the test." Satoshi Iwata said.

"Then let's go."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he took Satoshi Iwata and walked towards the office building of Elf Entertainment.

When I came to Michael Katz's office, I found that there was not only Michael Katz inside, but even the sales department and public relations staff.

"Mr. Katz, is there a problem with the sales of Pokeball 2?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

The people in these departments are all here, and it is really difficult for Hanyu Hideki to think of other problems.

"Mr. Hanyu, it has nothing to do with Pokeball 2, it's the console that has a problem that needs to be solved."

Michael Katz replied.

"The host has not been tested yet, so it's too early to talk about production." Hideki Hanyu said.

"Mr. Hanyu, please look at this."

Michael Katz handed a piece of colored paper to Hideki Hanyu.

Hanyu Hideki took a look and found that it was the appearance renderings of the elf entertainment console that he had seen before.

The console is a flat rectangle with rounded corners and a game card slot with a hidden bezel on top.

The body is blue and white, the buttons are red, and the jacks are hidden behind the body.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BODY, THERE IS A SEPARATE PIECE OF TRANSPARENT PLASTIC WITH THE WORD 16-BIT PRINTED ON IT.

This means that this is a 16-bit host.

Through this piece of transparent plastic, you can also faintly see the delicate circuit board.

The whole body, like its performance, is extremely technological.

There is also a blue-and-white handle next to it, and the shape is a semicircle with a slight curve.

On the handle, there is a unique patented circular D-pad of Genie Entertainment, as well as four ABCD buttons.

Paired with the same blue and white, sci-fi sense of light gun peripherals.

Just looking at the appearance of this console, it feels as if it comes from the future.

Looking at this rendering, Hideki Hanyu asked strangely, "Haven't you seen this before?" ”

"Don't Hanyu-sama feel like something is missing?" Michael Katz asked.

"What's missing?"

Hideki Hanyu looked at the renderings carefully, and felt that something was missing.

But he couldn't think of anything.

Finally, it was Michael Katz who reminded, "There are no names. ”

Hideki Hanyu said, "It's not too late to wait until the console test is complete before coming up with a name." ”

"Although the testing of the main engine has not yet been completed, the production of generic components can already begin, such as the housing, and we now need to provide the host name to the foundry."

Michael Katz explains.

Hanyu finally understood why Michael Katz had called him over, and that there were so many staff members.

After all, for consumers, the first impression of a product is often the name.

A good name can often play a very important role in the promotion of the product.

But if you want to choose a name, Hanyu Hideki is a little big.

I had just finished naming the second-generation arcade before I left Neon, and now I suddenly wanted to name it again.

He was really uninspired.

Since he couldn't think of it, he simply looked at everyone and asked, "Let's talk about any good ideas first." ”

As soon as Hideki Hanyu said this, it immediately caused a discussion.

Someone said, "Or use the R&D codename, I think Elf One is good." ”

When Hideki Hanyu heard the name, he thought that he couldn't connect with the game console at all.

I don't know, I thought I bought a special plane for Pokémon.

I didn't hesitate to say no.

And then someone said, "Or Elf Computer." ”

"We're a game company, not a computer company."

Nintendo named the console Family Computer because of the Atari impact, which caused people to lose confidence in game consoles.

But now that the Pokeball 2 handheld has gradually helped the gaming market recover, there is really no need to deliberately avoid this feature of gaming.

As a result, the name was immediately opposed by the sales department.

"Since our Pokeball 2 is so successful, why don't we call it Pokeball 2 PULS?"

As soon as the suggestion of this sales department employee came out, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but complain.

This PULS version is here, so is there still a Pro version, a Max version?

But before Hanyu could express his opinion, Michael Katz unceremoniously rejected the name.

In Michael Katz's view, home consoles must be distinguished from handheld consoles.

Otherwise, if consumers associate the two together, and feel that the two products are similar, it may cause consumers to choose one or the other.

Previously, in order to dispel this feeling, Michael Katz did not even agree to the appearance of the Elf Entertainment logo on the host.

Just when everyone was discussing hotly, Satoshi Iwata, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

"I think the name of the home console can be completely referenced to our new arcade machine."

"How to refer to." Michael Katz asked.

The details of the new arcade, he has already seen and knows that the name of the arcade is Elf Game Platforms.

"What about the Elf Play System?" Satoshi Iwata said.

Michael Katz said after hearing the name after a little thought.

"It's a bit cumbersome, it's better to remove the prefix, merge the last two words, and call it PlaySystem directly, which can be abbreviated as PS, which is more convenient for consumers to remember."

Michael Katz's words were immediately unanimously approved by everyone.

But Hanyu Hideki next to him couldn't help but complain wildly in his heart.

Is this the end of Nintendo, and then Sony?

PS The console is all out.

It's just that Sony's PS console, the full name is PlayStation, and there are still differences with PlaySystem.

"What does Mr. Hanyu think?"

"Uh......, I think it's good."

What else can Hideki Hanyu say.

Putting aside the abbreviation and Sony's PS crash, the name is really good, and consumers can easily associate it with a game console.

Hanyu Hideki thought that he couldn't even get a shorthand, so he didn't care about one more, so he simply picked up the pen and brushed it directly on the renderings.

After a while, a LOGO appeared on the renderings.

It is the LOGO of the PS console of later generations.

"If you want to use PS as the name, use this as the host LOGO."

Thank you for the tip
