Super Tycoon

Nintendo is well aware that they are behind on 128-bit consoles, so they have to fight to catch up. Of course, they firmly believe that the linkage mode can allow their handheld gBa to develop faster.

Now the structure of gBa is also well completed, and by the end of the year, it will be able to attract investment for the development platform, attract more game manufacturers to join, and make more and more fun games.

But at this time, Nintendo suddenly discovered that they were very short of 32-bit games, and they had not launched 32-bit game consoles before.

Nintendo jumped directly from 16-bit sFc to n64, with a shift in the middle. But it is impossible for them to cross gears on the handheld.

In the 32-bit game camp, Sunny is the most, Zhiduxing is second, Sega Bandai, 3Dos, etc. also have some, and more are in the hands of those third-party game manufacturers.

Namco, Square, etc. are all top manufacturers of 32-bit games, both in terms of quantity and quality.

These game manufacturers were also in the Nintendo camp at the beginning. It was only because of the wooing of other game console manufacturers and Nintendo’s decision-making mistakes at the time that they punished some third-party game manufacturers, which led to the continuous decline of their game camp.

This time, Nintendo is going to bring back those game manufacturers, and it will not hesitate to spend more money for this.

As long as there are benefits, those companies will not refuse. After all, everyone was very happy to cooperate at the beginning. Nintendo made money, and those companies also made a lot of money. There are still many companies that rely on Nintendo to develop.

What's more, 32-bit games are now in decline, especially 2D games. Under the disruption of Zhiduoxing, the price keeps falling. It is impossible for those game manufacturers to put the money they can make and not be tempted.

This time, Yamauchi Fu called two young subordinates he was optimistic about, one was Yantian Satoshi and the other was Gunjima Tatsuki. Among them, Satoshi Yantian is the president of a second-party game development company, and now he has been recruited by Furuto Yamauchi to the Nintendo headquarters as the head of the business planning department.

Another Tatsumi Gunjima is also the person in charge of the second-party game development company, and Yamauchi is going to send him to the United States to take over the work of his son-in-law.

"Tatsumi Gunjima, your task is to go to North America, contact some game manufacturers, buy 32-bit games, and publish them on our gBa. At the same time, try to get more 128-bit game licenses, even if It’s okay if it’s not an exclusive license.”

"I will greet Minoru Arakawa about this matter, and you will also be transferred to the North American branch as the head of the business planning office."

"Satoshi Yantian,

You are the person in charge of the business planning department of Nintendo headquarters. I hope you can re-establish contact with our former partners. The third-party game camp under Nintendo must expand as soon as possible. On this generation of game consoles, I allow you to lose to Zhiduoxing and Sunny, but it must be able to suppress Sega Bandai. "

"On the next generation of home game consoles, we will regain the throne of the king. This time, we need to let other game companies see our sincerity. We can make certain concessions in terms of royalties. This matter needs to be fully completed within half a year. , do you have confidence?"

Satoshi Yantian bowed his head: "President, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to my trust. I will start with Square, and within a month, I promise to reconcile with Square."

Tatsumi Gunjima looked at Satoshi Yantian in surprise. Square Enix almost went bankrupt because of Nintendo's punishment. If it hadn't been for Sunny, I don't know what would have happened.

Now you have to reconcile with Square, can they agree?

However, Tatsumi Gunjima also knows that Satoshi Yantian is the heir chosen by the president, and he must make some good achievements in order to take over the position of president, otherwise the other directors will definitely support Mr. Minoru Arakawa even more.

Tatsumi Gunjima actually hopes that Arakawa Minoru will take over as the president, so that Arakawa Minority may retire in five years, and he still has a chance. If Yantian Satoshi is allowed to take over, at the age of the other party, he will not be able to sit still for more than ten years.

Fortunately, Satoshi Yantian is too proud. Young people, who don't know the heights of heaven and earth, go to Square to reconcile, isn't that asking for trouble!

Yamauchi Fu was also a little surprised by Yantian Satoshi's choice, but he still believed in his subordinates: "Okay, you can let it go. If you succeed, you will be the vice president this year."

Adding a new executive position is just a matter of words for Yamauchi. Their Yamauchi family is firmly in control of Nintendo's board of directors.

Soon, both of them were out. Yamauchi leaned back on the chair, pinching the bridge of his nose. This time he allowed ngc to fail, and the sales were not as good as Zhi Duoxing and Suni, but gBa wants to regain the throne of the king of handheld games!

Zhiduoxing should be immersed in the joy of the success of home game consoles, knowing that their NGC will be launched ahead of schedule, and they will definitely make some adjustments to their strategy.

Nintendo wants to drag Zhiduoxing into the competition of video game consoles, and does not give Zhiduxing too much time to develop handhelds. As long as Nintendo can take the lead this time, it will definitely be a success!

Other companies don't know, but Nintendo knows very well that the profits of handheld consoles are also very lucrative. Of course, consoles don't make much money, but games make a lot of money.

Judging from Nintendo's revenue over the years, the revenue of game consoles is simply not comparable to that of games, and the profit margin is even more incomparable.

Originally, Nintendo's most important opponent was Suni, but now it has become a wise man. Think about the man at the helm of Zhiduoxing Group, who is only in his twenties and still has the energy to manage the company for decades. Looking at his descendants again, among the young people, none of them could make him look up to.

However, Zhiduoxing Group has developed a new profit model. They make online games and rely on time cards to charge fees. It is said that they have made a lot of money in China.

Huaxia has always made Nintendo very greedy, but it is difficult to develop. They can't sell their consoles, and they can't sell their games. Piracy is rampant, and several lawsuits have not received much compensation.

Originally, Zhiduoxing's sales in China were average, and Huaxia rectified the arcade halls. In Yamauchi Fu's view, Zhiduxing will also lose China, a local market with great potential.

But an online game is selling so well, why are people in Huaxia suddenly willing to spend money? And not only in the Chinese market, but also in other parts of Europe and the United States, the sales are also good, and some people in island countries also like to play.

Fortunately, Nintendo has explored the Internet profit model through 64DD, and they also intend to improve their own Internet game platform. Because their ngc is not backward compatible this time, they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of game lineup.

Yamauchi Fudo doesn't have much energy to manage the future of the company. He only hopes that in the past two years, he can choose a suitable successor smoothly, and he can take care of it for another two years.

Before he dies, hope to see Nintendo on top again!
