Chapter 256: Sony's Heart

Jester's tone was firm. No matter how Nakayuji said, he insisted that this game was under the name of the Balotelli series.

And Yuji Nakatsu really couldn't give up the appeal of the game that Jest just explained to him and made such a simple and interesting game, which was exactly what he wanted. After thinking about it over and over again, he still agreed to Jest's request to make this game under the name of the Balotelli series.

Of course, it is not made immediately, but after helping Jester complete the mini game, during this period, Jester will also improve more settings for this party-style racing game.

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

Within Sony, Ken Kutaraki is not just interested in the electronic game industry. He is a hardware-based company. After getting in touch with Nintendo and seeing the grand scene of reviving electronic games with the efforts of Mars Entertainment and Nintendo, he developed a very strong interest in this industry.

At Sony's internal meetings, he explained to the group's senior management more than once that the game industry is a very promising and very ambitious industry. After several persuasions, it is impossible for Sony's senior management to remain unmoved. However, the problem is here. Sony and others have never been exposed to this industry. If they just make a high-performance game console, then it will be almost effortless to use electrical giants like Sony.

However, this suggestion was rejected by Ken Kutaraki as soon as he was put forward. He believed that at this time, it was not a good idea to enter the extremely fierce game industry at this time, because making games does not mean that like when we used to make small walkmans, we only need to make machines according to the specifications of tapes. Then we just need to sell machines.

Because tapes are universal.

No matter which music tape is produced by a music company, it can be placed in any tape drive for playback. The tape drive manufacturer cannot create a disguised monopoly by controlling the standard of tape.

However, in the gaming industry, tapes similar to music cannot be universal. The specifications of each gaming machine are different. The cassettes that can be used on this gaming machine cannot be used if they switch to the gaming machine of another company. In other words, they cannot rely on their R&D capabilities far beyond Nintendo or Mars Entertainment. To develop a machine with completely surpassing the two companies, they can do a sweep of the world.

A gaming console platform running without gaming software is like a walkman without tape, just a useless thing and can't even be called a toy.

Moreover, one of the reasons why Sony is interested in the electronic game industry is that it sees the huge business opportunities in electronic games. Secondly, there are other reasons. There are many industries with huge business opportunities. They want to enter the electronic game industry because Sony discovered that while entering the electronic game industry, they can further promote a new standard that they are preparing to promote.

This is CD storage.

Sony is not a company that will make important decisions with a slap in the head. Without solving the most critical problem that Ken Kutaraki said, they will not rashly enter the game industry. And their purpose is to be interested in the profits of the game industry, the second is naturally for their CDs.

Therefore, when it is difficult to temporarily withdraw from the water, you can temporarily not consider the first reason. You only need to consider the second reason.

At this time, the famous Japanese Electric, which is the famous Japanese Electric, is the giant that is even bigger than Sony in Japan and the world, and has joined forces with Nintendo's two largest third-party game developers, Namco and Hudson, to launch a brand new game console.

The first time he heard the news, Ken Kutaraki's reaction was that their chance came.

Ken Kutaraki is not tall, has a slightly fat body, and his eyes are long and narrowed, giving people a feeling of kindness. However, those who have come into contact with him know that his kindness is shrewdness, and there is almost nothing that can be hidden from his eyes. What kind of expression does a person have? Ken Kutaraki only needs to take a look at him and can understand one or two of his thoughts from it.

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

Hiroshi Yamauchi was anxious during this period and was no different from what he expected. Under his own two companies, Namco and Hudson, had gone as he had expected. When he heard the announcement of the news from Japan Electric and Hudson and Namco, he was furious and smashed his favorite piece of Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain from China to pieces.

Afterwards, when he saw the precious Ming Dynasty porcelain remains that had become fragments, his heart was bleeding, and the pain was even more painful.

In fact, this time, the game companies that Nec has won over is not only these two, but also some small game companies, whether they are under Nintendo's platform or Mars Entertainment's platform. However, only Namco and Hudson are the most famous. The departure of these two companies also has the greatest loss to Nintendo's strength.

The rebate of Mars Entertainment is just leaving a few optional companies.

Capcom was invited by Nec at the first time. No one knew what Qian Ben Qian San thought at that time, but at the first time, Qian Ben Qian San told Jester about this and promised that they would never join Nec's new camp. Jester thanked him kindly, but in fact he did not take Capcom's words to heart.

Jester, who came from later generations, knew that Capcom's most famous nickname was Kabit. This title is not unique to China, but is recognized by the world. It is simply endless and endless to talk about Capcom's fickleness. To be honest, Capcom is a very pure commercial company, which is the biggest difference between them and some other top game companies.

This does not mean that other game companies are not commercial, but that people always have nostalgia for old people, but Capcom's principle is that everything is based on interests and never misses old people. For example, Capcom, it was a very long experience that they were able to develop into one of the best game giants in Japan in later generations.

Their rise is inseparable from Nintendo's support and help. Many unique technologies are actively supported by Nintendo when Capcom was not yet in a state of being in a state of affairs. The most famous one is that when Capcom was producing the n64 version of "Resident Evil" that later became popular all over the world, he received a lot of help from Nintendo.

However, companies like Capcom, when you can bring him the best benefits, they are more gentle than Cats, but when the benefits others bring far exceed yours, they will be as cold-blooded and ruthless as snakes. When Nintendo was powerful, Capcom never dared to say no, but when Nintendo declined, they immediately threw themselves into Sony's arms without hesitation. When Nintendo's handheld rise again, Capcom once again took their fickle tricks and once again put them into Nintendo's arms.

Is such a company a fan of people?

The answer varies from person to person. Most people may not like Capcom, which has no human touch. Jester was the same before, but after he was engaged in the gaming industry over the years, he gradually realized something that in fact, companies like Capcom are the best dealings.

As long as you are strong enough, they are the most loyal dogs. If you become weak yourself, don’t blame others for being unfaithful to you.

In fact, in Capcom's view, when he followed you, he had done everything a third-party game developer should do, can do, must do, and everything he had to do. In other words, Capcom believes that he and you are both clear and no one owe anyone.

Now, when Qian Ben Xiansan was attracted by others, he took the initiative to express his loyalty to himself, which was nothing more than that.

But obviously, Namco and Hudson don't think so. They think they should make greater profits. The games they make are not inferior to Nintendo. However, because the platform is not itself, when their games conflict with Nintendo's games, they will generally be suppressed. Moreover, although their premiums are only symbolic levies and have the right to independently produce and burn cassettes, they still need to share the profits with Nintendo.

Although it is not as terrible as half the commission from other franchisees, the two extremely arrogant companies, as time goes by and their own strength, they are naturally dissatisfied with Nintendo's exploitation behavior similar to blood-sucking leeches.

When your strength is not enough, you can only endure it, but when you feel that your strength is enough, then resistance is natural. The reason for resistance is that there is unwillingness.

Especially Namco, they built a building with dozens of floors of Iron Array with "Iron Array". However, after relying on Nintendo, although they made more money overall, they never built a building with dozens of floors of food with a game.

For companies that have had such brilliant experiences, they naturally cannot endure this oppression for a long time.
