Chapter 126: Helpless Nintendo

Arakawa must not sit idly by. If he cannot handle this matter well, then Nintendo's North American strategy may face the embarrassing situation of complete failure. Needless to say, his father-in-law, Mr. Yamauchi, would not be satisfied with this, and even himself would never accept such a frustrating failure.

But after thinking about it, Arakawa really couldn't think of a better way to check and balance. Although Jester's methods were despicable, what he said was a fact that the performance of the other party's home game console was indeed higher than that of FC, and Navs did change the soup with FC without changing the medicine.

But the problem is that it is absolutely impossible to redevelop a new console at the headquarters now, and it is also the stupidest behavior. This may be what the other party wants to do the most. Then the question is, what should I do now?

To be honest, Arakawa, who is deeply aware of the unspoken rules of the United States, doesn't want to do the most is to sue, because he knows that even if he is able to win, if the other party wants to, he can delay the lawsuit for infinitely long, which may be three or five years. At that time, even if he wins, then what's the use?

The market has long disappeared.

Jester has clearly stated that he will not sell this simulator. When the other party does not make profits in turn, the best outcome is that the other party publicly apologizes and a little insignificant compensation. This is too much of a loss for himself and Nintendo.

Sighing, Arakawa Mitsuha calmed down his previous anger, which was extremely inappropriate for a large regional head of a multinational enterprise like him.

This fact is too important, and he himself cannot come up with a definite idea, although his father-in-law told him before he came to the United States several years ago that he had to take full responsibility for everything here, and even made up ten million dollars in cash for him at that time. With his understanding of Nintendo at that time, this was almost all Nintendo's fortune.

It can be seen that his father-in-law had unconditional trust in him at that time.

However, today is not as good as before. It was a situation where people would die without fighting. Now Nintendo has gotten rid of the predicament and is doing well. And North America is the top priority for whether the company can develop into a world-class enterprise. It is not to be lost, and it cannot bear this responsibility itself.

So, Arakawa Mi called his father-in-law's house, hoping that the Nintendo owner would make a decision.

Although it is early in the morning in Japan, after he dialed the phone and rang twice, a very calm voice came from the other end of the phone. As soon as Shi Arakawa heard this voice, he immediately knew that his father-in-law had not slept yet, and must have been waiting for him to give him news about this CES exhibition.

"President." Yamauchi Hiroshi is a very domineering person, otherwise he would not have a nickname like a tyrant. In the future, he will have a unique position in Nintendo and even in the Japanese gaming industry. When he is in the company or in discussing company affairs, even if he is close to him, he must call him for his position.

"What happened?" Yamauchi Hiroshi's voice was not loud. But Arakawa Mi sounded a bit majestic. When he heard his father-in-law's question, he seemed to be his father-in-law who really appeared in front of him, staring at him with his cold and ruthless eyes wearing dark glasses. He immediately stood up straight.

"Yes." Arakawa didn't dare to say anything nonsense and replied respectfully.

Yamauchi Hiroshi, on the other side, seemed to be silent. For nearly a minute, Arakawa didn't hear any reply until he felt that the side had hung up. The majestic voice of his father-in-law sounded again.

"Then just say it."

Yamauchi Hiroshi's words were concise and Arakawa Miyake also called his father-in-law through the phone - the real helm of Nintendo.

After listening to Mi Arakawa's narration, Hiroshi Yamauchi fell into a longer silence. This time, his voice didn't sound again until more than five minutes later, but obviously, the helmsman who saved Nintendo and the times of crisis did not come up with any better way in this short period of time.

"Just do what you said first." Yamauchi Hiroshi said calmly at first, and then his tone suddenly became cold. "Arakawa, you have to know that in the game industry, performance is not the key, the most important thing is games! Those people buy our game consoles to play games. You must understand this and never lose confidence."

"Yes, President." Mi Arakawa's tone was still respectful.

Then, the two of them exchanged a few simple conversations about the trial sale in New York after the exhibition, and hung up the phone.

Arakawa immediately called his company and issued his own orders to the person who was receiving the conversation on his company: "Send a public letter to Mars Entertainment in the name of our company, asking them to apologize to us for the FC simulator incident, otherwise we will take legal action."

Just when Arakawa Mi can only use this method that is not a solution to deal with the impact of Jester's simulator on them, Jester is facing questions from many media or enthusiastic players.

"Will you make the story of Sheriff Balotelli into a movie? I really like him so much. He is like Eastwood in my heart!" The question asked a child in red clothes and a cowboy hat. His face was full of longing when he spoke.

"Ha ha."

Jester first smiled, and then he replied in a very certain tone, "To be honest, I personally want to see the Sheriff show his power on the big screen and eliminate the bad guys. We have received a film company that wants to buy the copyright of Sheriff Balotelli. However, because of all kinds of things and the opening of the exhibition, I didn't have contact with them, but my personal opinion is that I can't negotiate with them about the copyright of Sheriff Balotelli, and we will start filming."

After he said this, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out in the venue. Obviously, many people liked his answer very much.

Then, a man with a media ID was named.

This is a young man in a casual dress, wearing a pair of glasses and red hair, probably with the blood of the Nordic generation, and his appearance is very handsome and not as rough as a Nordic person.

"I am a NBC reporter. I would like to ask if the 16-digit image display card of Ati company will be sold to other compatible computer manufacturers. If they also use Ati's display card, then can users who purchase personal computers of these manufacturers also play the games of the next era you mentioned before?"

After hearing this question, Jester pursed his lips first. He didn't know if he should have said it so early, but the other party asked this question and responded to the answer without any advice, which would seem a little weak, which was not in line with his personal personality. Moreover, users who originally wanted to buy their own high-end gaming computer might change their minds after hearing this question.

Thinking of this, Jester cleared his throat and decided to reveal the irrelevant point of his next plan for his high-end brand computer.

"Yes, Mr. reporter, what you said is very good. The effect of the picture is based on the processing capabilities of the display chip and CPU. Theoretically, as long as any computer manufacturer can produce personal computers of this specification, of course, they can also experience the game screen of the next era - if a game company will produce such a game for them."

As soon as Jester finished speaking, a buzzing sound came from the stage. They were a little confused. What does it mean if a game company would release such a game for them? Isn’t the Persian Prince: Sands of Time that you are going to produce? Isn’t this kind of game?

"hehe."

Jester did not directly explain this question, but smiled first. He picked up the water cup beside him and took a sip of water, moistened his dry lips and throat before continuing to explain.

"This time, the reason why we used the Dos operating system to do this simulated demo level is that we were too hasty and didn't have enough time to make an operating system that belongs to us, but this operating system will definitely have it in the future. In other words, the "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" we made can only run on our operating system."

"So can you make a profit for this? You know that due to the price, the sales volume of your computer will definitely not be too high. The R&D funds required for developing such an excellent game are definitely not a minority. I have seen a report before that the total R&D cost of your company's "Avengers" project has exceeded two million US dollars." The reporter continued to ask this question in some confusion.

"I will first correct it. The total R&D cost of "Avengers" has been calculated internally so far, and our total promotional budget for this game will not be lower than this number." Jester first corrected the author's mistake, and then continued to explain, "Also, "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" will have a dreambox version after the screen effect is castrated, which does not affect the experience of the game plot. I emphasize again that I am going to make such a personal computer designed for games, so that players with conditions want to feel what the game in the next era is like in advance."

At this time, a new questioner was clicked. This was a beautiful reporter with long yellow hair, fair skin, and wearing a beige windbreaker. After she stood up, she asked the question as a follow-up to this question. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
