“Cancel Super Nintendo’s Dragon Quest development team?”
When he heard this name, Hirohiko Imano's face showed an expression like this, but in a flash, his face once again became as ugly as before. He stuttered: "The Dragon Quest on Super Nintendo, isn't that what we mean?"
Immediately, he turned his head and looked at Yuji Yuki, who was still smoking a muffled smoke, and asked in a panic look: "Captain of the Daoi? Is this true? Why is this happening? Isn't our game the best-selling? Are we allergic to RPG?"
After asking a few questions, Yuji Yuui didn't say anything, and the people around him were silent.
Hiroki Imano turned his head and looked around. Seeing that everyone didn't seem to want to talk about this. Just when he was going out and insisting on getting it clear, Yuji Okui finally finished smoking the cigarette, and then spoke in a hoarse voice: "We just got the rumor - although it was rumor, the source was very reliable, and it was basically the truth. Mars Entertainment, Sega and Sony intend to establish the World Electronic Games Association. In the future, any third-party development companies that join this association can freely develop games on their three platforms without any restrictions."
It took only half a second to Hiroki Imano to find the key, and he blurted out: "No Nintendo?"
"There is no Nintendo." Yuji Oui's voice became a little bitter.
At this time, Hiroki Imano also understood why his team leader was like this, because Yuji Oui had said before that as long as he was the developer of "Dragon Quest" for one day, he would only develop games on Nintendo's platform. But now, after being abandoned by 80 to 90% of the entire world's home computer market, the 16 platforms that have not yet been released seem to be dying before they are released.
"President..." Hiroki Imano immediately changed the topic. Now it's useless to say that these are. What's important is what should their "Dragon Quest" development team do.
Yuji Oui obviously felt much better after saying this. Although his face still had a very bitter expression, he continued: "The president asked me to disband the Super Nintendo development team and then reorganize a new development team. The game is still "Dragon Quest". He said he is contacting the three Mars Entertainment companies, hoping to get their consent and we will develop the games on their three platforms."
Hiroki Imano heard this and the result was quite good. After all, the game was still being made, which was completely different from what he thought before. But soon, he found something wrong, because Yuji Okui had made a praising Haikou outside before, and this time he broke his promise. It seemed very difficult to accept.
To be honest, if it is a completely shameless designer, it doesn't matter at all, but Yuji Okui is not such a person. So, he went to the president to submit his resignation before, but was scolded.
"So that's it"
Hiroki Imano nodded with a sudden realization. He actually didn't care much about the big words that Yuji Oui had said before. To be honest, who wouldn't say a few words without a brain when he was proud of himself? Moreover, the conditions given to them by Nintendo at that time were indeed very generous. When Yuji Oui said that, even the president agreed.
But who would have thought that the world would become so fast?
So, Hirohiro Imano was just about to say a few words to persuade his team leader, but it seemed that Yuji Oui seemed to have a deep understanding of his heart and knew what he was going to say. He waved his hand and then he breathed: "No need to say it, I figured it out just now. I was indeed a little impatient. The news about the president has not come yet, and the "Dragon Quest" on our Super Nintendo must not be done, but the preparations in advance cannot be said to be useless. Our plot text, art and many settings are all common. Please sort it out and wait for the news from the president."
Just as Yuji Oui's "Dragon Quest" development team was getting a little dejected to prepare for the new work, Jester and others were also asked by President Enix. It was not just Enix, but many third-party development companies.
Among them are third parties that have maintained close relationships with the three companies of Mars Entertainment, and third parties who have always been a loyal supporter of Nintendo, especially the latter one. This time they were really panicked because in the 10% and 90% market choices, especially the 60% and 40% of the Japanese market plus the absolute advantage of the world market, even those game developers that mainly focus on the Japanese market were completely panicked.
For example, Enix.
Their sales of "Dragon Quest" in other parts of the world have not been very high, which is completely inconsistent with the reputation of this game worldwide. However, in Japan, this game is indeed a national RPG. Nintendo was able to occupy 60% of the gaming platform share in the entire Japanese market before, so they naturally chose Nintendo, which is beyond doubt.
But now, if the other three companies of Mars Entertainment are united, then the advantages of Nintendo's 6% vs 40% of these three companies will not be so obvious. Moreover, Nintendo's share is declining, and the combined share of these three companies is constantly increasing. Coupled with the temptation of the entire world market, it is no wonder that Enix's president would rebel against Nintendo at the first time.
In fact, the specific discussions have ended yesterday, but Ken Kutaraki and Shizuo Nakayama have not left immediately. They are waiting for the arrival of their legal team in their company, and they have to sign a specific cooperation agreement and choose a time to make their establishment of the World Electronic Games Association public.
Propyne, they will select permanent directors of the Game Association and discuss the grading standards for electronic games, as well as discuss the specific time of the three game exhibitions.
Since game exhibitions are held every year, it is certain to be staggered in time. In terms of the spring and autumn, the spring and autumn are the most suitable for holding such large-scale exhibitions, but of course, the three game exhibitions cannot all be gathered in these two seasons. However, considering that GDC, that is, the game developer conference, is a grand event that reviews games in the past year with summary as the main nature, it seems that it can be put until the end of the year or at the beginning of the year like the Oscar.
These are all good suggestions.
However, at what time and where, because the GDC is held in turn, among the three exhibitions, only the first World Game Developer Conference has not been determined yet.
"What do you think?"
Jester casually asked Ken Kutaraki and Shinto Nakayama. Both of them received a call from Enix. Jester could easily see the joy on their faces from their faces. Although they expected that the leak of the three companies would cause the third party in Nintendo to be in chaos, they absolutely did not expect that Nintendo would always be considered the absolute and new Enix, and would be the first rebel.
“Very unexpected.”
When Nakayama said that, his expression on his face was a little sigh, as if he didn't believe it very much: "I should be very familiar with Fukushima Yamauchi. He has a very good relationship with that old guy named Hiroshi Yamauchi. This is why Enix has been holding Nintendo's thigh before. Unexpectedly, he would actually..."
Fukushima Yasuhiro is the founder of Enix, the president of Enix.
Nakayama Shizuo didn't finish this passage, but there was no need to finish it, because everyone present knew what he was going to say.
But Ken Kutaraki added: "Even if I was in Fukushima Yasuhiro's position, I'm afraid the decision I had to make would be the same as him." As Ken Kutaraki seemed to have thought of something, a smile appeared on his face.
"I heard before that Yuji Oui, the producer of "Dragon Quest", said that he would only develop "Dragon Quest" on Nintendo's platform, but I don't know how he should deal with himself this time..."
Hearing Ken Kutaraki's words, even a faint smile appeared on Jester's face, while Shirooka Nakayama smiled regardless of his image. While laughing, he also said: "If Yuji Okui wants to resign from Enix, I will definitely invite him to join Sega with the highest treatment..."
However, before Nakayama Hayao finished speaking, Ken Kutaraki spoke without hesitation.
"President Zhongshan, you'd better give up. If Mr. Yuji Oui really left Enix, we Sony would definitely welcome him. To say something inappropriate, do you think you can compete with us in recruiting talents?"
"hey-hey!"
However, after hearing Ken Kutaraki's words that were sarcastic, Nakayama was a little disdainful. He first sneered twice, and then said in an unceremonious tone: "It's a pity that Yuji Okui is a game development talent, not an electrical appliance development talent. You Sony, you have no competitiveness in this regard."
Ken Kutaraki narrowed his eyes after hearing this. Although his expression was a little disdainful, he did not continue to spray with Shikazuo Nakayama.
However, Jester talked to them today, not just for Enix's business.
