Tokyo's Gentleman Story

“……”

Yamauchi turned off the video.

What this sharp eyed old man saw was the content of the previous press conference of the order of the Phoenix.

"Iwata, what do you think?"

This is Yamauchi Pu's office, sitting next to him is Iwata Cong.

"Other aspects are not a problem, but the so-called" handle "is a problem for us

GBA。

This is the handheld that Nintendo is going to sell.

But how to say

"This machine Is it called Xbox? "

Well, that's right. Senxia uses the name Xbox.

Yes, the Xbox used to be in senxia's hands, and it was regarded as a handheld, Xbox handheld

Mori wants to see what the name of Microsoft's future machines will be called after he takes up the name.

It's going to be fun.

What's more, it's not unreasonable for senxia to do so. The handle on senxia's side is called x-player, and it's also a box of "X" series. Why not?

Senxia almost decided to use "X" as their label.

But I'm afraid Sen Xia will not think what kind of nickname will be given to this machine by the masses in the future

Of course, Yamauchi doesn't care about this.

"According to the information we have received, the performance of the Xbox is not as good as that of GBA, but they have made special features for the display effect, so it may even be better than GBA in terms of pictures alone." Iwata said he had collected information.

Mountain Pu nodded, but the dignified old man did not speak, but looked at the photos taken from the scene, as if in meditation.

Iwata Cong carefully looks at the mountain PU.

Originally, this matter is completely Sony and the order of Phoenix, and Nintendo is playing soy sauce.

But Nintendo, who plays soy sauce, didn't expect that it would spread to its own side.

The sudden appearance of the handset, and the digital Tyrannosaurus that cooperated with Wanda, these two products are not aimed at Sony, but Nintendo playing soy sauce.

Nintendo, who is also shot, will not easily choose to swallow his anger. Pu in the mountain is not like that.

But before that, of course, they have to see what happened and why the war has suddenly hit Nintendo?

"If it's just the effect, no problem." Pu opened his mouth in the mountain.

"Hi," said Iwata, "the strategy of the order of Phoenix should be to use chess as a visual handle. The game function is not very important - on the contrary, they even sacrifice the game performance for the sake of picture and endurance, so this machine can only support some simple word adventure games at most."

Performance alone can't make a machine dominate the world. Nintendo and Sony understand this truth.

But if there is no performance at all, that kind of thing is not desirable.

"Remote games? Indeed, it's really interesting to let the handheld output the host screen in this way." Mountain Pu squint at the screen, "did you notice their handle?"

"Handle? Well, that product has been put on sale. It can completely replace the current DC handle, and the effect is really good. " Iwata Cong had to admit, "I asked the staff to use this controller to play games. He said that even if he used it all day, he would not feel tired at all, and the more he used it, the more smoothly he would feel."

Yes, this handle is such a powerful thing. After all, Microsoft spent hundreds of millions of dollars to develop another world line.

At first, Iwata Cong didn't know why they would use this handle as the first product of the press conference, but after using it, Iwata Cong suddenly realized that after using this handle, he really felt that he couldn't go back.

It's just like players who use mechanical keyboard and static capacitance keyboard to return to the era of thin-film keyboard. It's also like that after using computers that use solid-state drives, they can't bear to go back to the era of mechanical hard disks.

After using this x handle, Iwata Cong also has a feeling that he can't go back.

It feels so good.

"They're very focused on the user experience." Shannei Pu saw through the actions of the order of Phoenix at a glance. "Whether it's the handle or the handheld, the purpose is to improve the user experience of players. It's not aimed at the handheld market, it's really a" handle. "

Iwata Cong nodded.

Of course, I have done these surveys myself.

But I can't say it now, and I have to pretend to be an old man.

Yamauchi Pu continued: "but the cable really affects the experience, if you can, wireless projection may be their pursuit.""Hey, if the handset and the host can be combined into one, this must be the optimal solution."

Iwata Cong thinks that the other party's remote output means seem to be very good, but this is actually only a compromise scheme. If you can, a machine can be held in hand at any time and can be used at home. This must be the most interesting thing, right?

"But that's impossible," Yamauchi said. "But their plan has something to learn from."

"Well This machine is not a threat to us? " Iwata tries to ask.

"No, counterattack is still needed. What kind of digital beast, at the beginning, was our pocket monster!" Shanneipu said, "it's really thanks to the order of Phoenix that we can convince Wandai and Nangong dream..."

There are different opinions about whether the digital Tyrannosaurus is a pocket monster, but Nintendo must feel that the other party follows itself, because it can not only create a sense of superiority, but also put itself in the moral upper hand.

"That Tianhai senxia seems to be from Tianhai family. It may be because of this."

Iwata Cong, a Beihai Taoist, was born in Sapporo City. His father was also a mayor of Hokkaido. Of course, he knew the "local emperor" in Hokkaido.

"Do you think the order of the Phoenix has something to do with them?"

Iwata Cong shakes his head: "the influence should have, but the relationship seems impossible. This is not the style of Tianhai family..."

"We have to prepare counter-measures," Yamauchi continued

"For WAN Dai?"

"No, the order of the Phoenix." "Maybe they don't want to confront us head-on, but at this special time, we can't wait to die. Since they threaten us, we have to fight back," Yamauchi said

At this time, the N64 machine is not warm, and the VR device launched before is even more failed. Now Nintendo is in a critical moment of internal and external troubles.

If we don't fight back at this time, in other people's eyes, it means that Nintendo is no longer good. Anyone can step on two feet. This is not possible.

"Come back to our club next year." Mountain Pu said.

"Hi."

In fact, Iwata is not in Nintendo's own club, but is developing games in a second party, such as the Pokemon gold and silver that was sold this year.

Shanneipu did not continue to speak, but looked at the information in his hand.

This is the digital animal adventure, this game can now collect information.

The game is divided into two parts.

On the console, this game is a cool adventure game, but on the handheld, the game is a nurturing game.

Players can cultivate their own digital beasts and use them as characters in adventure mode.

It's like the player has really cultivated a digital beast and put it into combat.

He looked up at Iwata and asked, "can our Pokemon make this system?"

Iwata Cong thought for a moment and then said, "if you change the agreement a little bit, it should be OK."

GBA can also be connected to the machine through a special data line, and then the two machines can interact.

Although the GBA has not been released yet, in terms of design, they do support four people to practice. The premise is that the game supports multiplayer mode, and everyone online has a game card.

But here you see - this machine is designed to hold the handle here and connect it through these metal contacts.

There's a place on the new game console where you can put the palm, and a few metal contacts on it can exchange data with the machine, which is very convenient - although it increases the cost by $0.8.

Yamauchi Pu also saw this advantage: "directly embed the machine, and then the screen can directly switch to the handheld mode..."

The X-box handset can not only directly connect to the TV set, but also connect through DC, and switch to the palm mode directly through the DC.

After connecting through this mode, the local CPU of DC will interpolate the picture output by Xbox, that is, the picture will be stretched smoothly by special algorithm, and then the operation of intermediate frame will be added to optimize the picture, so the display effect can be improved.

We should know that simply stretching the picture and optimizing the picture by interpolation are two completely different concepts.

"But it seems that they are not going to simply stretch the screen. I have read the specifications of the handheld and the published technical specifications. If it is extended through DC, it seems that another stretching mode is adopted..." Iwata Congyi accidentally talked about the technical link, but after seeing that Yamauchi Pu had no objection, he continued, "the other side seems to be adjusting the picture through a DPI expansion technology."

Iwata Cong's method here is actually Mori's reference to Apple's future image stretching technology.Of course, it's not simply that.

In short, Mori's technology is not simply stretching the picture, but dividing the picture into three parts: picture, vector image and text.

The picture will be interpolated and stretched, and then the vector image and text will be expanded directly. In this way, even if it is extended to the TV picture, the text and vector image can be kept clear, instead of being directly stretched into poor quality pictures.

well, this is how many students who watch animated dramas often make complaints about the so-called 1080P screen, which is "only subtitles are 1080P".

Of course, even if only the subtitle is 1090p, for the player, compared with the total blur, at least this kind of view is better.

However, this mode is only available when it is connected to the DC, and it will not have this effect when it is simply connected to the TV, because the Xbox handheld has no such performance at all.

What's more, the algorithm is the core, and the algorithm is constantly optimized. Senxia's side is placed on the DC, and there is still room for maneuver. However, if the palm itself is integrated with such expansion modules, the algorithm can not be changed, and the most important thing is that the cost of senxia cannot be accepted.

"What do you see?" Pu inside the mountain looks at Iwata Cong.

“…… They control the third party. " Iwata Cong knows that this is the place Pu wants to ask in the mountain. After seeing Pu nodding in the mountain, Iwata Cong is relieved. "This kind of expansion is very strict with technical specifications. If a third party doesn't follow their approach, it's absolutely impossible," he continued

Shannei Pu nodded: "yes, if we look at the previous events, we can find that the order of the Phoenix has already assembled a number of third parties before, which is the so-called" secret silver force. "

Secret silver force.

The influence that exists because of the mithrine platform is absolutely a very powerful geometry.

Although they are mainly word games, they can't be underestimated when these manufacturers add up. You know, elf was once comparable with Nintendo for a short time!

"Before the appearance of the order of the Phoenix, these third parties have honed on the secret silver platform for a long time. The capacity of this network platform is not large, but it has great potential."

Shannei Pu is not very familiar with the Internet, but through this platform, senxia has gathered a number of game manufacturers, and this fact, shannei Pu has to care.

"The secret silver force It's really a bit of trouble. "

Iwata Cong also nodded.

Especially this time, the order of the phoenix also announced the so-called "green light project".

This green light project is to support independent game producers.

This scheme seems to other game manufacturers, even a little silly.

What kind of game can one see?

Game development cycle is very long, but also very troublesome, one person two independent developers, there is no egg.

But Yamauchi Pu and Iwata Cong don't think so.

According to previous animic's actions, they found that the other side was very purposeful.

And the green light plan, seemingly useless, is not necessarily - you know, before the emergence of the secret silver platform, it has always been unknown!

This time, their plans for development must have their own purposes.

But What is the purpose?

If Nintendo wants to fight back, it has to figure out their purpose
