Chapter 497 Let's make another bet
Even Shigeru Miyamoto and others are not qualified to accept the conversation about Mirakawa.
So, this can only be the sulking re-entering of Yamauchi Hiroshi.
However, a person was sulking for a while. After a few casual words of swearing at Yamauchi Hiroshi, he stopped cursing. Soon, Yamauchi Hiroshi asked about the palm of his hand again.
"By the way, I heard the news that Sega's new handheld machine is about to be completed? I didn't hear any news about Sony."
Yamauchi Hiroki asked casually.
Although he is still in control of Nintendo, the difference from the previous one is very big. He basically only masters a big direction. For example, if it is the current problem, if it were put before, Hiroshi Yamauchi knew faster than anyone else and more detailed than anyone else.
He didn't need to ask these subordinates of his.
Hearing this question from Hiroshi Yamauchi, Masayuki Uemura smiled disdainfully. He said to Hiroshi Yamauchi: "President, you don't have to worry about this. I have received very specific information. This time, Sega, their palms are using color screens."
“Color screen?”
When Masayuki Uemura said this word, Yamauchi's eyebrows quickly frowned.
He saw Masayuki Uemura again and found that his capable general seemed to be a little disdainful of Sega's so-called color screen, which made Hiroshi Yamauchi even more confused. Isn't a color screen more advanced technology? If Sega did it, he would ask himself, Hiroshi Yamauchi felt that if he was his buyer, he would definitely buy such a color screen.
Masayuki Uemura also saw the questions of his president.
He immediately answered: "Actually, the reason why I don't like them is very simple. The first is the cost. Using color LCD screens to make a palm phone is much higher than ours, but this is not an unsolvable thing. As long as it can lead the trend like Sony's an, the price is much more expensive than ours. As long as it has good game support, it may not be impossible to break a way..."
"but……"
Speaking of this, Masayuki Uemura paused for a moment. When he saw Hiroshi Yamauchi's expression, he became serious and did not need his boss to urge him. Masayuki Uemura continued to speak.
"However, the color screen requires too much power. In terms of portability and durability, they simply cannot make players feel that this is a gaming console that can be played anytime and anywhere, and this is the most deadly thing."
Seeing that there was a puzzled look on Yamauchi's face, Masayuki Uemura simply gave an example: "I give an example and you will understand. If our black and white LCD screen palm phone can allow players to use it continuously for four to five hours before they need to change the battery, then under the same battery situation, Sega's palm phone may only last for one hour. There is no value in the palm phone."
"So……"
After hearing Masayuki Uemura's explanation, Hiroshi Yamauchi nodded with some clarity. However, he still had some questions, so after nodding, he continued to ask: "So. How about joining Sega and joining the battery that is twice as many as us?"
"hehe."
Hearing Yamauchi Hiroshi's question, Masayuki Uemura smiled indifferently: "If they do this, then how heavy will their palms be? They will lose their portable value."
After Masayuki Uemura finished speaking, Hiroshi Yamauchi did not have any too many comments.
He just nodded and said, "Okay."
Then, he asked Miyamoto Shigeru and asked when he could develop a tailor-made palm machine for their Nintendo palm machine. Miyamoto Shigeru also answered very sure that the palm machine game is also being produced and can be completed in less than two months at most.
At this time, Yamauchi Hiroshi couldn't help but think of the scene when Mars Entertainment was released.
"I think about it now. It's really a game created for the palm of your hand." Hearing Hiroshi Yamauchi's sigh, everyone present nodded at the same time. They all knew how much power the Mars Entertainment's "American Cube" contributed to Gameboy's Mars Entertainment's palm of your hand in the early stages of its release.
It is said that after the first few months of its release, almost 60%, or even 70%, of the players who purchased gameboy were able to play the game "American Cubes" anytime, anywhere, anywhere, under any circumstances.
Mars Entertainment Headquarters, USA.
After hearing what his assistant said, Jester smiled at Mark Seney: "Mark, go and do your own business first. I'll receive the reporters of "Game" and ask them to give me a simple interview."
Jester doesn't know that Nintendo has developed their brand new palm phones at this time and is discussing how to gain a place in the palm phone market. In fact, this is also an inevitable thing, because there is only Mars Entertainment in the palm phone market now.
And in such a large market, it is impossible for a company to fill it up.
Of course, even if Jester knew, he didn't care, because he held Mario's Balotelli series of this era and the PM series, two of which have been tested by decades in the palm of handheld, and are almost the most talked-worthy game in this field.
No fear of any competitors at all.
You know, even the most competitive game with palm phones in the next twenty or thirty years later was just the PM series and Capcom's MH series.
According to the current palm-machine technology, it is impossible to develop a real co-fighting game.
So, as long as you have pm in your hand, basically, on the palm of your hand, other companies can only drink some soup.
The reporter who came to interview Jester's "Game" was also the young man who had interviewed Richard Garrett before, but he was not as arrogant as Richard Garrett in front of Jester. After he entered the house, he bowed respectfully to Jester. Only after Jester asked him to sit down, he dared to sit down on the sofa.
"Actually, letting you do an exclusive interview is just an excuse. The main thing is that you listen to my ideas and then write a manuscript of the exclusive interview according to my ideas."
Jester said lightly.
The reporter of "Game" nodded immediately and did not express any objection.
Moreover, as the owner of "Game", how could Jester express his dissatisfaction in front of Jester? This is absolutely impossible. He is just a worker who obeys orders.
"My request is actually very simple. My interview must be put together with Richard Garrett's report article so that it can be compared. Since he said that I made a game like "The Stone Guardian". I'm sorry for my current identity, then I really want to ask him what kind of game he thinks I should make?"
"Also, if he thinks his work is a work of art, then I'll make a bet with him. Didn't his fans make a bet with my fans? It's about the sales of these two games. Although it's just now, the victory of "The Stone Guardian" is basically a foregone conclusion."
"In this case, I will also make a bet with him. He is unwilling to compare sales, so there is no need to compare sales. We will use what he said to be in-depth games. I think he also knows that at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, because the time is still uncertain, I cannot guarantee the exact time. The first World GDC Conference, that is, the World Game Developer Conference, will be held. At this World Conference, several awards will be awarded."
"For example, the best game of the year, the best game of the year, let's bet on it to see what the works mentioned can win this honor - of course, if we don't get it, then who gets the nomination will be used as the selection criteria. Of course, if neither of us gets the nomination, then I lose, after all, this is the bet I proposed."
"But I don't know, Mr. Richard Garrett, who thinks his game is a 'great' game designer who works of art, dares to make this bet with me?"
After saying that, Jester sneered.
The reporter of "Game" also recorded Jester's words word by word.
Soon, a week later, the latest version of "Game" magazine was released,
The reporters found Richard Garret again, and he had heard of Jester's bet before.
To be honest, because in the past one or two years, there have been no particularly shocking games, and Jester's "Age of Empires" has pioneering advantages, both in terms of reputation, sales, and influence on industry developers.
Basically, the best game of the year in a few years is almost the same game.
And Richard Garrett would never make this bet.
But he said before that Jester's game has no depth. Of course, he said that he had said "The Rune Stone Guardian" before, but if Jester ignored his premise, he would not be able to defend himself.
Chapter completed!
