Chapter two hundred and seventieth meeting
Yokoi Junping resigns!
Game magazine uses such a cover title as the cover of their latest issue. On top of this full-color cover are two photos of Junping Yokoi. These two photos divide the cover into left and right halves from the middle of the cover. The one on the left is a full-color photo, and the one on the right is a black and white photo.
In that full-color photo, Yokoi Junhei clamped his arms tightly and raised them high. This was the excitement he showed when GW was just released, when he saw the buyers coming to Ginza District in a continuous manner. Another photo was a picture of him pursing his lips tightly, his eyebrows frowned on his forehead, and his face was gloomy as if water could drip out. This picture was black and white.
Jester was holding this episode of "Game", and he didn't open it and just looked at the cover.
The game magazine informed Jester as soon as he got the news. When Jester heard the news, he had an incredible expression on his face. Then he shouted that it was impossible because he knew too well that Yokoi Junhei was a human.
But obviously, the news from Game magazine is not fake.
Nintendo is a listed company, and the changes in their company's senior management are to be notified to Volkswagen. Yokoi Junhei, who served as the director of Nintendo's first hardware development department, applied to resign because of his disagreement. The company's president Hiroshi Yamauchi agreed to Yokoi Junhei's resignation after repeated attempts but failed to succeed. The reason was not very clear, and he just used a few words that were not consistent with the concept.
Then all kinds of gossip came from inside Nintendo, and Jester also heard many rumors related to it. Then, he came up with his own reasoning from many rumors that were both true and false.
First of all, it is certain that this time Junhei Yokoi's resignation must be related to the major events that happened in Nintendo before. The major events that happened in Nintendo before are undoubtedly that they formed an alliance with Sony, and what does this matter have to do with Junhei Yokoi...
When he thought of this, Jester's eyes suddenly lit up.
Although there are no mistakes in the details of Nintendo and Sony's cooperation, they still said that as a listed company, the large-scale transfer of the company must be announced to the public. This time, they established a brand new game console development team with Sony, and the fact that Ken Kutaraki from Sony was the leader was naturally announced to the public.
However, when Jester first saw this news, he felt a strange feeling.
It’s not because of Jueduo’s role as the team leader. With Nintendo’s current needs for Sony and Jueduo’s ability, it’s natural for him to be the team leader, nor because Masayuki Uemura is the chief designer, because Masayuki Uemura himself is the chief designer of FC and Nes. In terms of home game console development, there is no experience in this world than Masayuki Uemura.
Moreover, although Sony is world-renowned in R&D capabilities, they are only engaged in the development of home appliances and developers of home game consoles. Their experience is definitely not as good as Nintendo.
As for Goto Shiyu, Jester would have no doubts. He was a fan of Sony Games in his previous life, and he was naturally well-known to Goto Shiyu's Ming Dynasty. This young industrial design designer, the soul of Sony's industrial design field, is in the field of industrial design, and his name represents the world's number one.
However, he alone did not find another crucial name in it.
That is Yokoi Junpei.
Jester is very clear about Yokoi Junhei's status. According to general principles, it is extremely inappropriate to exclude the soul of Nintendo's hardware development in a design group that brings almost all Nintendo's hardware developers. Even if Yokoi Junhei is not as suitable as Masayuki Uemura for home console development, then according to the old tradition of a Kyoto company.
It is impossible to exclude a person of such a status.
Of course, if it is my own wish, it is naturally another matter. At that time, Jester thought it was Yokoi Junhei's own intention, but now judging from the news of Yokoi Junhei's resignation, it is probably excluded, not Yokoi Junhei's own intention.
As for the concepts announced to the public, it is inconsistent...
Jester set his sights on one of the many messages he had collected.
Development of palm machine.
After thinking about this, some things that I didn’t understand or didn’t understand before were instantly integrated. If Yokoi Junhei had been insisting on developing a palm machine before, it would not be difficult to understand why in the news, Nintendo’s statement would be inconsistent with the idea of Yuki Yamauchi and Masayuki Uemura’s full efforts in home machine development.
When Jester thought of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Only he knew that if Yokoi Junhei really made a gameboy in advance, and Nintendo hadn't discovered it now, their talent in handheld games, then the future would be really hard to say.
You know, Nintendo in the future, relying on their handheld consoles, even in their most difficult times, will firmly control part of the market.
Even for a period of time, handheld games have become the pillar of Nintendo.
Then, Jester's mind became active. Since Junhei Yokoi resigned from Nintendo, can he invite the other party to Mars Entertainment? What kind of name should he invite? Should he go? These are all issues that Jester needs to consider immediately, otherwise, he will be the first to be promoted.
After Yokoi resigned from Nintendo, he suddenly felt relieved.
There is no need to think about so many messy things all the time. You just need to get up early every morning, go out for a run, go home to eat some breakfast made by your wife, read some newspapers or other books, or write something you are interested in. The day is just so simple.
Simple and pleasant.
However, I still need to find a job, but this time Junhei Yokoi only wants to find a company that matches his philosophy to cooperate. Therefore, he has declined the invitation from several of his friends just after the news of his departure from Nintendo was announced.
The doorbell rang, Yokoi Junhei put down the Bi in his hand. He was writing the content of a new game he had conceived. He had just written the beginning, but his inspiration was interrupted by the sudden ringing ring.
However, Yokoi Junhei was not angry either. Instead, he stretched his waist, stood up from the tatami, and walked towards the gate.
The people who came were two, one of them he knew, and he was a friend from Namco, named Yamamu.
The other person was very jealous. The other person was wearing a spotless suit. The moment he saw Yokoi Junping, he bowed to Yokoi Junping and said he was taking care of him.
His friend named Yamaki immediately introduced him, and the one who came with him was a minister of Japan Electric.
Specially responsible for the research and development of PC-e game consoles.
pc-e is the product that Japan Electric is preparing to enter the electronic game market this time. It is an eight-bit console, but it is just a very special eight-bit computer. Although their CPU is still eight-bit, they will use a sixteen-bit display chip on this game console. Moreover, their research and development of this game console has been basically completed. They can be released at any time in the first half of this year.
After Yokoi Junhei knew that the other party was from Nec, he immediately knew what the other party was from.
However, he did not show any expression that could reveal his inner thoughts. Instead, he welcomed the other party in and poured tea for the other party.
Then, I was listening to the other party's persuasion.
To be honest, the conditions given by Nec are very sincere. They are preparing to hire Junhei Yokoi as the development director of the subsequent improved models and next-generation models of PC-E, who are fully responsible for this matter and ensure that they will never interfere. Moreover, Nec also guarantees that their development capabilities will never be inferior to Sony, and they are even better in this regard.
But Yokoi Junhei just listened quietly, and none of these could touch him.
If he wanted to develop next-generation home phones, then as long as he expressed this idea at Nintendo, they would not be swept out, and Masayuki Uemura would not be able to compete with him for the qualification of chief designer.
But now, Japan Electric still wants to recruit him with a position he is not even interested in at Nintendo. Is this impossible to be effective?
So, after the senior executive of Japan Electric spoke for a long time, he only changed to Yokoi Junhei's reply with a very plain sentence: "Thank you for your kindness, Yokoi has appreciated it, but I do have a lack of interest in developing home game consoles, so please forgive me."
Such a straightforward rejection also makes it impossible for anyone from Japan Electric to tell the difference.
After just seeing off the lobbyist of Japan Electric, Yokoi Junhei showed a slightly disappointed look on his face, but it was just a flash.
But before he could write a few words, the doorbell rang again.
When he opened the door, Junhei Yokoi saw a very familiar face, but he usually didn't have the chance to see this face with his own eyes, and could only be seen in newspapers or TV.
The person in front of him is very young, but he is incomparable to his status as details.
"Hello."
Chapter completed!
