Chapter 496 The rift between Arakawa and Yamauchi

"This is the appearance of the palm machine designed by senior Yokoi at the time."

As Yamauchi Hiro carefully examined the palm of his hand on the table, a Nintendo employee explained in a low voice beside him, but Yamauchi Hiro's expression did not change after hearing this, and he just nodded.

If Hiroshi Yamauchi doesn't take the initiative to speak, the others present are naturally not qualified to speak actively.

This situation lasted for more than ten minutes, ending with a long sigh from Yamauchi Hiroshi. After Yamauchi Hiroshi sighed, he said with some regret: "If I hadn't been determined to do my own thing, the situation might not have been like this, and Yokoi might have not left."

Almost all the people present were subordinates of Yokoi Junpei before. They admired such a talented senior and humble person, and they were extremely regretful and missed his departure.

Even when I was quarreling with Junhei Yokoi about which one to develop the host and palm machine, I missed my old superior very much.

Masayuki Uemura is not a jealous person. He admires Yokoi Junhei from the bottom of his heart, especially Yokoi Junhei's electronic product should be like, what functions should be, and under what circumstances should players use their above-mentioned vision and insight, which makes him admire the most.

Although, Yokoi Junhei didn't know how to design circuits.

Just like before he left, he completed the appearance drawings of Nintendo's palm machine. Masayuki Uemura had someone redesigned them before, but by comparing the models, they did not look beautiful and beautiful based on the drawings of Yokoi Junhei.

"How is the performance of the palm machine? How is it like a gameboy for Mars Entertainment?"

Hiroshi Yamauchi just mentioned a little bit of Yokoi Junhei. He did not want to continue to go deeper on this issue. He immediately raised a new topic and asked about the comparison between the palm machine in front of him and the palm machine of Mars Entertainment.

Nintendo's palm phone has no name yet, and internal R&D personnel also use palm phones to call it.

After hearing this question from Hiroshi Yamauchi, everyone looked at Masayuki Uemura, because Masayuki Uemura was the designer of this palm phone, and Masayuki Uemura did not hesitate. After hearing Hiroshi Yamauchi's question, he just thought for a moment and began to answer.

"It should be similar. We have studied their machines. Because we developed a little later than them, ours is still a little stronger. But this advanced hardware performance may not be of use to feed back to the game."

Masayuki Uemura said concisely. After he finished speaking, he looked at Shigeru Miyamoto.

Shigeru Miyamoto nodded, expressing his agreement with Masayuki Uemura. Hiroshi Yamauchi still listened silently, without expressing his opinion. He picked up a palm phone and pressed the boot button. Now Nintendo has not designed a special game for this palm phone.

It’s just that the software department has developed a test game clip, and now there is a cassette like this on the palm of your hand.

Hiro Yamauchi was not interested in playing games, but just took a few random glances and then put them down. Then he seemed to suddenly remember something, and continued to ask: "Have you done some physical damage tests? I heard that before the gameboy of Mars Entertainment was released, he once mentioned it on Yokoi Junhei and made such a test. Ask the testers to throw the gameboy used for the test from the second floor directly from the window, and then pick it up to see if it can be used. Have you done similar tests?"

After hearing this test by Hiroshi Yamauchi, everyone present looked at each other.

This test is very famous in the current gaming industry, and these people have heard of it, but they have never done it.

As soon as Yu Yamauchi saw the expression of his employees, he knew that they had never done it. However, he was not as angry as before. He just sighed and scolded him with a slight angrily angrily: "You guys, we are chasers, and we must let go of all our own. If Mars Entertainment can do things in this regard, and we can't do it, then how can we compete with them?"

As he said that, Hiroshi Yamauchi paused a little, and his tone became a little dissatisfied: "Can you still have better skills in developing games than Jester?"

When Miyamoto Shigeru said this, he lowered his head in shame.

You know, when Miyamoto competed with Dreambox at FC/nes, Shigeru Miyamoto's reputation could be compared with Jester, but with the failure of direct competition again and again, he is no longer qualified to discuss with Jester Lee.

It’s not that Miyamoto’s level is not good, but that Jester’s status is too high.

Yamauchi Hiroshi also saw Shigeru Miyamoto's appearance. He shook his head and comforted him, "Miyamoto, you don't need to do this. Nintendo has reached this point now, and it's not your fault. The games you make have very good sales, and the mistake is with me. I'm too arrogant."

As he said that, Yamauchi Hiro's brow frowned.

"By the way, has Arakawa gone to the United States again? I remember that 80% of my time spent in the past few months? Our business in North America has shrunk sharply, and our flagship stores have also been withdrawn from the North American market. What else does he want the United States to do?"

Nintendo's FC consoles have a low market share in the United States, but they have a high market share in Japan.

Even now, in the past 16-bit computers have been launched for more than a year or two years, the market share of FC consoles in Japan is still the number one single-player model in the Japanese market. Moreover, Nintendo and Mars Entertainment signed a lifelong contract that will not continue to develop new consoles.

There is no limit on FC.

Therefore, although Nintendo is no longer continuing to develop new consoles and the sixteen consoles have not continued to produce them, the FC hosts are still being sold, especially in South America, where the sales of FC hosts are still very high.

Therefore, they are still developing FC games.

On the contrary, Nintendo has not yet made a game of 16-bit computers, and the United States or North American market is already in the era of 16-bit computers. There is no big market for outdated eight-bit computers like FC. Therefore, Hiroshi Yamauchi is still extremely dissatisfied with his son-in-law who has been running to the United States for this period.

After seeing everyone hearing his question, no one answered. Yamauchi Hiroshi knew that they were worried that Arakawa would settle the score with them afterwards.

So, Yamauchi Hiroshi just snorted and did not continue to ask.

However, he was still a little angry.

"Arakawa is becoming less and less arrogant now. I asked him to look forward to Nintendo, rather than asking him to go to the United States to consider his own career." Nintendo in North America has not been cancelled yet, and Minorakawa is still serving as president of Nintendo in North America.

It is said that there are some rumors in the company that Arakawa has his own industry in the United States.

In fact, after Nintendo announced the launch of the console competition, Arakawa Mi had the idea of ​​letting Nintendo completely withdraw from the game industry and then transforming. He also made a proposal to Hiroshi Yamauchi, but unfortunately, his proposal was rejected by Hiroshi Yamauchi.

Because of this incident, Yuuka Yamauchi felt extremely dissatisfied with his son-in-law.

In fact, the reason why Mi Arakawa said this is Nintendo's tradition, because at first, Nintendo was just a small workshop-style company that colluded with Yakuza to produce gambling poker, but later he went through several transformations, made toys, and opened a hotel.

So, transformation is not something particularly unacceptable to Nintendo, in Miya Arakawa's opinion.

After all, after losing the qualification to participate in console competition, in Miya Arakawa's view, if Nintendo wants to survive in the video game industry in the future, he will have to rest assured, and his father-in-law will definitely not be such a person, so he has the previous proposal.

However, to his surprise, his father-in-law refused his proposal mercilessly.

Moreover, he scolded him fiercely.

This also made Arakawa a little dissatisfied. He did this without selfishness, and it was really for Nintendo. Since he had no future in this industry, why didn’t he give up and insist on sticking with it? This is what Arakawa doesn’t understand the most.

In Mi Arakawa's eyes, his father-in-law has become increasingly undecisive.

In fact, if Jester knew about this, he would never doubt why Arakawa made such a decision, because in his memory, the reason why Arakawa was later kicked out of Nintendo was because in the late 1990s, after Nintendo's Ncg defeat, he proposed almost the same transformation proposal to his father-in-law, and also suggested that his father-in-law resell Nintendo's game department to Microsoft, which had already had ideas to count into the game industry.

However, this incident completely angered Hiroshi Yamauchi, and Hiroshi Yamauchi did not hesitate to drive Hiroshi Yamauchi, who had already regarded him as his successor, out of Nintendo.

This is why Iwada Satoshi later became the leader.

Nintendo was just an era of consoles. They also had the largest group of game fans in the world. Arakawa didn't want Nintendo to continue to intervene in the game industry, not to mention that no matter how Nintendo did, it would be impossible to get the right to speak again.
