Devote your best to the death.

These words are difficult to use, and almost few people can do it, but in Jester's cognition, Iwada Satoshi is definitely worthy of such a title.

He is the second company president of the company who died of illness since the birth of Electronic Games. The previous one was Okawa Kou, the legendary president of the late Sega Dynasty, and the successor of Nakayama Shizuo, and also Nakayama Shizuo's best friend and partner. At that time, Sega had reached the Autumn of Life and Death, and Okawa Kou donated all his personal assets to Sega, which avoided Sega's fate of bankruptcy.

It perfectly interprets the famous saying of Okawa Kou who used his life to witness.

"Career is just a matter of a generation. What you get from your career should be re-invested into your career."

Iwada Satoshi's life was not as brilliant and glorious as Okawa Kou, nor was it as violent as Okawa Kou donated his property before he passed away. When he died of illness, Nintendo had long since left the desperate situation when he just took over, his career was booming, and his financial report finally changed from a deficit to a dark boy.

However, his life can still be summarized by the words "dedication". He re-established his confidence for Nintendo, and he led Nintendo to become a giant in the industry again.

This was something that people from the outside world could not have thought when Yamauchi handed over the position of president to him. People at that time were all echoing that Nintendo would definitely decline completely like Sega. In the future, there were only two giants left in the gaming industry.

Even later, Peter Moore said such a passage in an interview.

Peter Moore was the head of Microsoft's xbox business unit at that time. It can be said that the xbox brand was created by him.

He said: "We only had Sony and ps3 in our eyes at that time. Nintendo was not in our consideration at all. No one of us thought that Nintendo could become our opponent, and Lenovo had never thought so."

However, it was Satoshi Iwada who launched Wii and NDS, which completely changed the industry.

Wii's early and mid-term sales have been booming all the time. The combined sales of xbox and ps3 cannot catch up with wii. Even when the ps3, xbox and wii's generation consoles ended and the next generation consoles were released, Wii's total sales are still the first among these three, even far exceeding the other two consoles.

Just before the meeting, Jester recalled Iwada Satoshi's past and life deep in his heart, Iwada Satoshi was also sitting in the car with some anxiety and heading to the restaurant where Jester met.

He was a little nervous at this moment.

Because what he is about to meet is the best designer in the industry after all, and one of his favorite designers. He has learned a lot from Jester's countless games. It can be said that Jester is his teacher on the road of game design. Before, Jester could only be the person he looked up to, but now he can see it himself.

It is impossible to say that you are not nervous or excited.

In a separate private room in the restaurant, Iwada Satoshi met Jester Lee who stood up to greet him.

He is as young as he saw in the photo before. If he remembers correctly, he should be just twenty-five years old this year, and he has achieved such results. Is this the real genius you are talking about?

"Mr. Iwata, I have heard of your name for a long time. I only had the opportunity to meet you today. It's really a bit rude." Jester's tone was very polite, which made Iwata Satoshi a little flattered. He even had some questions, why did Jester hear his name back? He was just an unknown person.

After Iwada Satoshi took his seat, he looked a little nervous from his expression.

Jester has experienced a lot of conversations like this. He knows how to better adjust the atmosphere. To be honest, the Satoshi Iwada in his impression is still twenty years later, but he likes to have fun with players, often makes funny expressions, and even often likes to use the players complaining about his own cute Nintendo president to complain about his words at night.

Now, when the young Iwada Satoshi, wearing a pair of old-fashioned black-framed glasses, a middle-parted hair, and even a handsome face, appeared in front of Jester, he almost made him feel surprised. Fortunately, Jester's control was better, and no one could see anything special.

Jester smiled.

"Mr. Iwata, don't be nervous."

First, he used this sentence as the opening remark of his next paragraph, so that Iwada Satoshi would not have to be so nervous, and then continued: "Maybe Mr. Iwata would wonder why I invited you to the GDC Global Game Developer Conference?"

When Iwada Satoshi heard Jester say this, he really didn't think much about it and nodded.

This is indeed his biggest question in the past period of time.

"Actually it's very simple, because you are a very talented game developer and very talented. I have seen the game to be developed. Later, I was very interested in the designer who was able to develop "Balloon War". So, I asked someone to collect information about this game, and then I learned your name. In the information, I also found out that you are the main program of the American version of "Dragon Quest"? The first time I knew that you were also involved in the development of this game..."

Jester's chat style, which was like home-cooked, also made Satoshi Iwada completely relax.

He continued to follow Jester's words.

"It was just that Nintendo was acting as the release of "Dragon Quest" at that time, and the US version needed to be re-production, but Enix had insufficient staff. I just joined the hal Institute not long ago. Because I was good at 6502 compilation, I let me go..."

Iwada Satoshi said it very modestly and did not think it was such a great thing.

However, after hearing what he said, Jester shook his head. He looked at Iwata Satoshi and said seriously: "This is not a simple thing as you said. As far as I know, he had only joined Hal for three years, but Enix and Nintendo dared to let you be responsible for the American version of the game that they valued so much. If it is really just a very ordinary thing as you said, then Hal Institute is really a rampant."

Iwada Satoshi said this and felt embarrassed.

But let him directly say that he was the best 6502 assembly language programmer in the hal research institute at that time, and it was unlikely to be based on his modest character.

"I know you Japanese like to be modest, but sometimes excessive modesty is not a good thing. Iwata, I think what you need most is not to be too modest, be confident. Moreover, from some of the information I have collected about you, you are not so modest when you are in the research institute, right?"

Jester said while laughing.

This made Iwada Seki a little confused. The things he usually works in the hal research institute are like now.

"I heard that the words you often say are that as a programmer, you must not say that I can't do it. If you say what I can't do, then you really can't do it... Is it true?"

After saying this, Jester laughed.

Iwada Satoshi's expression also became a little embarrassed. He nodded: "Yes, I do often use this sentence to motivate myself. I think as a programmer, there are so many things to face every day and so difficult. If you can't have a fearless mentality, then it may be that what you can do with just one effort will be given up and will never be able to do it..."

The chat time between Jester and Iwada Satoshi passed quickly, which was a joyful conversation. Even the delicious foods kept being served by the waiters, and the two of them didn't have a few bites.

It is approaching nine o'clock, and it is almost time for this meeting to end.

Jester seemed to have inadvertently asked a question like this: "Iwata, I heard, hal, it will be disbanded in a while. Do you have any plans to work next?"

Iwada Satoshi didn't doubt that he was there. He shook his head and answered casually.

"No, I'm also worried about this recently. I like the atmosphere of the hal research institute. After all, I have been here for seven years and have been used to everything here for a long time. I'm still reluctant to leave. But there is no way. After all, I still have to eat to support my family and live a life. I plan to go back this time, just like a few game companies submit resumes. I think I can apply for a programmer based on my previous results."

Although this is said, from Satoshi Iwata's tone, he could also hear that he was a little sad. I don't know whether it was for the purpose of the hal research institute that was about to be closed, or for him not knowing a clear and unclear future.

Then, Jester did not respond immediately, but became silent first.

Five seconds later, Jester stretched out a finger and tapped the table, then said to Iwada Satoshi: "Iwada, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you would like to listen to it?"

"President Li, why would I not want to listen?" Iwada Satoshi could only smile bitterly about Jester's question.

All right."

Jace nodded.

"My suggestions are actually very simple. I hope you will continue to stay at the Hal Institute." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
