"……thank you very much!"
Arakawa Kazuhiko finally recovered his host.
And it was found by the young man who was talking here with him before.
"But uncle, you are really embarrassed." The young man looked at him with an expression of "you are still too young".
Arakawa Kazuhiko did not get angry, after all, the other party helped to find this.
After leaving with GS, he was also relieved.
However, even though Arakawa Kazuhiko was relieved, the old man on the other side was all suffocating and didn't even dare to let go.
As for the reason, it is because their recently launched game... lost.
Not only that, the failure of this game has caused the majority of players to be completely disappointed with NGC.
It can even be said that this incident has become the source of the collapse of the old Ren's overall strategy.
At this moment, in the senior meeting of the old Ren, a group of executives were sitting under Pu Yamauchi, afraid to let go.
"Mario... actually failed." In fact, Pu Yamauchi himself was a little unbelievable.
However, this is the fact.
They released "Super Sun Mario" at the beginning of the year, and sales crashed.
"Super Sun Mario (SUPER_ is one of the main games on NGC.
The status of this game is like "Mario 64" to N64.
The stage of the story takes place on a small southern island, which is similar to Hawaii. The content of the story is that Mario and his party are traveling to this famous summer resort, only to find that someone has made the beautiful island misty and flooded with sewage. The prisoner actually looks exactly like Mario. In order to clear the grievances, Mario began an adventure.
But how to say...
The innovation of this game is obviously not as good as the previous generation, and even in the eyes of many people, this thing is a powerful enhanced version of "Mario 64".
The game was released last Christmas, but after it was released, it caused strong dissatisfaction among many old fans everywhere.
Originally, in everyone's eyes, Lao Ren was a company that often skipped votes in pursuit of game quality. However, the game "Super Sun Mario" did not show their sincerity.
After the initial defeat of NGC, last year’s veteran quickly adjusted his strategy and focused on "Super Sunny Mario". They regarded "Super Sunny Mario" as a crucial strategic level. The product has been promoted with a lot of momentum since it was released six months ago.
This game can be said to be the existence that has been pinned on.
Old Ren can just wait for it to come back.
However... does not exist.
When Lao Ren started to make big moves, he first encountered XBOX.
Lid children's shoes are not a good stubborn, nor did they directly target Lao Ren, but their fairy fights made Lao Ren extremely uncomfortable here.
Lao Ren naturally can't sit and wait for death.
They organized many Mario fans everywhere to take to the streets to play Mario, which in turn triggered a wide range of social topics and created a wave for Mario.
Players also look forward to the latest Mario series, which was launched five years later.
then……
And there is no more.
"Half million copies."
Yamauchi looked at these executives.
He was speaking quietly.
"Our Mario has been on the market for nearly half a year, but so far, it has sold only 500,000 copies. In Beimi, it has only one million copies."
Very calm tone.
But the people who heard it below didn't even dare to scream.
The market response of this game is quite disappointing. Until now, the game has sold 500,000 domestically and 1 million in North America.
——You know, "Mario 64" has six million copies sold in North America!
In fact, it's not just that. The evaluation of this game itself is also very low. The score of "FAMI Tong" is 36 points-for the Mario series of games, this can only be said to be a failure.
To be honest, there are many ideas for this game.
But these ideas are very rough, and in some places they are not even as good as previous works.
In fact, this question is also very simple in the final analysis, and that is "time".
On another world line, this game was released in July this year, but it was also very nervous. In order to catch up with the scheduled release time, the Intelligence Development Department lost many precious opportunities for repeated adjustments. The second half of the game The perfunctory responsibilities are quite obvious.
As for this world line, not to mention, the old man’s rush to work has caused the performance in the game to be too monotonous and repetitive, and many places are very rough, even if it is considered as a powerful version of "Mario 64" to buy people , Many have to admit that this game is really a bit... subtle.
"NGC has failed." Yamauchi said, "The only thing we can rely on now is Zelda. However, I hope you all think about the mistakes we made."
"The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker" is not yet on the market. This game will be announced at E3 this year.
However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the possibility of NGC wanting to be rescued by Zelda is slim.
This is also impossible.
Because NGC's market positioning and hardware design do have fatal flaws. What's worse, in this era, there are PS2, GS and the giants over there, these three giants.
NGC should be regarded as the highest masterpiece of the veteran to date. Takeda Xuanyang also said that NGC is a "revolutionary product developed by thoroughly summarizing the defects of N64 hardware design."
In the N64 era, due to the limitation of cassette capacity, many excellent creative designs could not be reflected, and even halfway through. After the launch of the PS, the N64 was beaten to nowhere.
And the two chief designers responsible for software and hardware development, Genhiro Takeda and Shigeru Miyamoto, also co-named the book publisher Pu Yamauchi, and firmly demanded that the next-generation host use CD-ROM media.
This incident caused a great sensation in the society at the beginning.
But at this time, Lao Ren made a mistake. They developed a special DVD drive but prohibited it from being compatible with CDs. The Panasonic technicians in charge of the development once hoped that NGC could be compatible with DVDs and CDs, but they were strictly rejected.
Yamauchi once laughed at Sony's PS2 next door: "The essence of the game is entertainment, and the use of video and sound as a selling point will be eliminated!"
But... he was slapped and hurt.
After Sony, DC-P also quickly followed up the DVD function, and also quickly followed up the audio-visual playback function. They even further strengthened the network system so that people can play online games.
And the capacity of NGC is actually only 1.5G-even one-third more than DC's GD. This is another reason why NGC was cheated.
In addition, Lao Ren's support for online games is also the most cheating. Because NGC can only dial-up Internet access, and because it does not support hard drives, once online games are updated, they must replace the data disk, which is very cumbersome. In this respect, they have become the perfect foil for DC-P.
It has to be said that the success of DC-P, Lao Ren and Sony actually helped a lot, and when the GS era, this masterpiece, not to mention punching PS2, but at least kicking NGC, there is nothing wrong with it... …
Oh, yes, after the PS2 has learned the lessons of the first version, the new version has begun to learn that the next-door competitor is on broadband, so in terms of network performance, PS2 has also killed NGC in seconds.
Now, for the old Ren, NGC has become a pity that makes it useless.
The only good news is that everything is going well on the GBA side. It can even be said that gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas.
"The Order of the Phoenix is developing a handheld." However, at this moment, Yamauchi Pu said. Then he went on to add another sentence: "It's a real handheld, it's not a little troublesome like before."
Hearing this sentence, these executives are also somewhat square.
In fact, everyone didn't care much about the Order of the Phoenix at first. The performance of their handheld is simply not good.
However, it turns out that they think too much.
Because the power of the Order of the Phoenix is simply suffocating.
The game "Platinum" directly caused XBOX sales to explode.
At first, everyone didn't care, but the other party did gradually show enough technical skills. With the launch of GS, the situation became more obvious.
The other party obviously wants to eat a piece of the handheld market.
And Yamauchi Pu's channel has already learned the fact that the other party is developing.
Of course, because the upper-level confidentiality is strict, what he inquires here is also the bottom-level news, and a lot of it is actually from the supplier. Compared with the company itself, it is too simple to break the supplier’s mouth. Nevertheless.
"The other party is planning to develop a handheld with touch function."
Upon hearing this sentence, the executives panicked.
"Secret leaked?!" someone shouted in shock.
——Yes, the new handheld that the old man wants to develop has the function of a touch screen.
And this handheld is also the NDS that "once" left a lot in history.
This handheld has two screens, a large screen on the top and a resistive screen on the bottom.
The development of this machine has actually begun-and in fact, NDS is indeed sold earlier than the PSP (in another world line)
It is no exaggeration to say that the NDS series is Lao Ren's most successful handheld series. Before NS, NDS was the most popular handheld.
Although it seems to be a little incompetent in a large eastern country, in the international market, NDS is very powerful, and the second PSP cannot be compared with it.
The success of the NDS series handheld also lies in innovation.
Although it is not another world line, the old man of this world line has actually realized this.
The failure of NGC made them realize the fact that they were too conservative in the past.
Of course, Lao Ren’s innovative ability is actually quite powerful. N64 is the world’s first real 3D home console, and the first VR game console-yes, real VR-is also Lao Ren's Virtual_Boy, although this product is very short-lived.
Therefore, the old man is conservative and has no lack of innovative spirit, which is also reflected in the NDS handheld.
For the current veterans, NDS is their self-confidence.
This machine's upper and lower dual screens and touch gameplay, and even dual card slots, are both their most proud existence.
In this era, this is the most interesting and fresh creative gameplay.
However, at this time, they actually discovered that there was a similar thing next door...
"No, the other party's development time seems to be earlier than us." It was Iwata Satoshi who spoke.
Yamauchi Pu is ready to retire this year, so now Satoshi Iwata has begun to take over the affairs of this side.
Therefore, Yamauchi is now losing his temper, and it actually helps Iwata Satoshi to frighten others, and let him take the upper hand in the strategy.
"This is troublesome..." someone murmured.
Many people have already released it because of the failure of "Super Sunny Mario".
"It's okay," Iwata said. "We are not alone. In fact, Nokia has already contacted us. They are willing to use piezoelectric touch screen technology to exchange technology with us. In exchange for our game development on their platform. ."
"Piezoelectric touch screen?"
Satoshi Iwata explained it a little bit, everyone knows that this is an upgraded screen of the resistive screen.
"Some of the relevant news we got came from this." Satoshi Iwata said, "The Phoenix Order is looking for low-power chips ~www.readwn.com~ and they have invested in a group of LCD panel manufacturers in Daliwan, which are located in China. , They and Sharp are also in contact. It can be predicted that they are indeed preparing to develop a real handheld."
Yes, the real handheld.
It's no longer the little jokes before.
