A piece of news was known by Su Budong through informal channels.

Nintendo will develop and launch new next-generation models.

But Su Budong thought this was not very anxious. First, Zhanlong's technology accumulation was enough for them to move to the next host generation. Second, he understood Lao Ren or Hiroshi Yamauchi's style. If they did not squeeze out the last bit of FC's value, they would not release new models. They said they were going to be released, but when they came out, it was almost 90 years old.

It's only 87 years old now, is it urgent to have a yarn?

What’s happening right now is that there are not many games released this year. Although those brats are not idle, their lives will definitely not be easy after they go back.

The assault production game will be the main theme for some time to come.

Now, because Sega has a good relationship with him, she has also sent an invitation to invite Zhanlong to make new games on the new platform. Their new machine will be released next year, and the sample development machine has been sent to the capital, and Zhanlong's group of people have begun to study the machine.

In fact, according to Sega, this MD console is the world's first 16-bit gaming console, using Motorola 68000 and Z80 processors, which is more than one person stronger than FC.

Even run arcade games on Sega motherboards.

So now the group of people in Zhanlong are researching and developing a game to shock the world.

In the foreseeable future, the host function will gradually leave the arcade behind.

This is the end of the old era and the beginning of the new era.

Su Budong saw this very clearly.

On the other hand, Nintendo is gradually taking restrictive measures against Dragons.

In order to limit the rapid development of War Dragons.

Compared with other manufacturers, Zhanlong’s advantage lies in its low labor costs and R&D costs.

So you can get the money by selling a game of 2300,000 yuan.

For some large games, other manufacturers may need to guarantee a minimum of 400,000 yuan, so they need to use the strategy of multi-platform release.

And Su Budong was following Nintendo at the beginning and hugged this thigh tightly.

But after all, it is not his own son, and Hiroshi Yamauchi cannot allow a threatening competitor to grow rapidly under his nose.

Especially this competitor is regarded as a person of his own in the industry.

At the beginning, Zhan Long was not full of wings, and his submissive attitude once made Hiro Yamauchi relax his vigilance.

But the cooperation between Zhanlong and Sega made Hiroshi Yamauchi feel thorny in his heart. So this year, Hiroshi Yamauchi almost tear his face, making Zhanlong pay more cassette production fees than before, completely ignoring the treatment of the most favored company at that time.

But that's all. Nintendo is also testing Zhanlong's bottom line, not daring to oppress Zhanlong too much, for fear that Zhanlong will really turn to the other side.

The reason for this is that Zhan Long is in China and is a prince who is obedient to the tune but not the prophecy.

Another reason is that PCE jointly developed by NE has been launched this year.

There are not many people who have seen this game console in China, but abroad it is a divine machine that is as famous as FC for a period of time. And PE and Namco also have the figure of Namco.

It can be said that this power is no less than Nintendo itself.

Hudson was a participant in the development of early Fc hosts and was one of Yamauchi Hiroshi's closest partners.

FC's early masterpiece "Digging Gold" was a work developed by Hudson in Nintendo's most difficult period. It sold 1 million sets. Hudson, who could not pay his salary at the time, took a long breath and paid off his previous debt. Taking this step forward, he became stronger every year.

What followed was the gradual expansion of ambition.

You Nintendo can do game consoles, why can't I, Hudson?

Besides, there is also a Namco.

It is precisely because PCE has Namco Palace that Su Budong didn't think about making any games on it.

However, the cause of this matter was that Nintendo did it himself inauthentic.

Do you still remember the disk drive? Didn’t Zhanlong release a “Castle of Devil” on it?

When Nintendo signed a contract with various manufacturers, it agreed that Nintendo enjoys half the copyright of logging in to the game on the disk drive.

What, are you old man crazy about money? At that time, this policy was issued, and the legal affairs of the manufacturer said that this matter would never work! So in order to avoid the copyright outflow of your own games, many manufacturers, especially the other six old manufacturers, chose second-rate brand login drives.

Therefore, half of the copyrights of Zhanlong's "Castle of Devils" are currently in the hands of Lao Ren, which is Su Budong's helplessness.

If you follow you, you will not talk about your free sex, but you will also become addicted to being a hooligan.

Su Budong, who is familiar with the history of games, feels that it is not the time to break up with Lao Ren.

Lao Ren is still in his prime now. If he rashly turns against Lao Ren, Zhan Long's situation will suddenly become difficult. With the lesson of the future, Hudson is.

Hudson will prosper because of Nintendo, and will decline because of staying away from Nintendo.

Between the rise and fall, but because the merchants were too pursuing profit, they forgot the general trend.

So Su Budong only has one word: endurance.

Try watching the crabs with cold eyes and see when you will be rampant!

Some people swallowed their anger, and some people rose up to resist.

As the first two companies to sign a contract, Hudson and Namco decided not to be slaves and masters. Why should we listen to your Nintendo? We are not a dog you raise!

In fact, Namco is a disruptor. He actually secretly developed a game console, called NC1 internally. However, because the market prospects are unclear, he was forced to join the NE camp.

In addition, these two families also did something to poach Lao Ren's secrets: collecting premiums for Lao Ren.

As heroes from the Dragon, these two companies have been dissatisfied with Nintendo's dominance for a long time, so they took advantage of loopholes in the contract to sell games for some small and medium-sized software merchants, in other words, they are collecting premiums in disguise.

For example, Nintendo will charge me 100 yen, but you will charge you 2,000 yen. As long as you bring me 700 yen per card, I will sell it for you. However, it is still a bit troublesome to operate it in detail, that is, to establish a joint venture subsidiary, which is also considered under the name of Namco.

Hudson's funny guy looked at it, wow, he could still make money like this, so he began to follow his example.

What else is this kind of brainless behavior? They are stupid when they think Lao Ren is stupid.

If Hiroshi Yamauchi is stupid, how could he make Nintendo what he is now!

Namco's US branch is even more decisive. Because he enjoys less than 100 yen in the premium, he directly sued Lao Ren's monopoly in the United States. The United States has an anti-monopoly law. While suing, he obtained Lao Ren's NES encrypted chip information in the copyright office through lawyers and made his own chips for fusion, which was called "habit". However, this matter was also verified by Nintendo, which eventually made Namco lose the case.

But the nonsense is that after a year of investigation and a year of investigation by the US Trade Commission, he felt that Lao Ren might, or, perhaps, really, had a monopoly, and even fined Lao Ren again and ordered Lao Ren to compensate NES users for $5 cassette fees...

Yuki Yamauchi was almost furious by Namco.

Eat my meal, hold my bowl and curse others, and you still want to make a fuss? Is there anyone with a grandson like you?

So an internal order was issued that after the contract with the two companies expired, they refused to renew their most favorable contract with them, and they could only follow the general company's.

Then things turned out to be what they are now.

Just like defending thieves, Nintendo also defended Zhanlong. If Zhanlong gets closer to Sega, there is no possibility of further restrictions.

Zhanlong is a good baby in the eyes of other manufacturers. Zhanlong has been played like this, so other manufacturers are even more honest.

However, Nintendo and other manufacturers did not expect that because they were far away from Japan, Zhanlong made more damage than these two companies, and made other people's games into pirated versions!

OK, the top three princes under Nintendo are all doing poaching things openly and secretly.

Speaking of which, there is no such thing as the Sixth Family in the game industry, but the Seventh Family: Hudson, Namco, Zhanlong, Korami, Capcom, TAIto and Jalees. The cassette premium charges for these Seven are extremely low.

Hudson, Namco is a first-class, with a 100 yuan premium.

The first level of Zhanlong is 500 yuan, but now it has increased by 100 yuan, which is 600 yuan in premium.

Konami, Capcom, TAIto and Jalees are the same, and it is 700 yuan.

The manufacturers who will join in the future will all start from 2,000 yen.

Plus a deposit ranging from 100 million to 500 million yuan.

Tsk, if you can make money, you know how much Lao Ren can make money?

So Su Budong doesn't want to break up now, in order to accumulate more capital from players and make himself stronger.

Entering finance is the same, do you think he wants to play?

If it weren't for Lao Ren, who was on the side, wouldn't he want to find another way to open a different path!

After all, Su Budong's interest is still in the game.

But Su Budong wanted to completely solve this matter, and he had to free up his hands in October to cure him. Otherwise, he, Yamauchi, wouldn't know how many eyes Mr. Ma would have.

This is not about starting a full-scale war, but just fighting a limited war in part.

As for how to do it, Su Budong is also considering that Zhan Long has a temper, not letting you control it like this.

This is a strategic shift.

Because I will have more funds at that time, I will have more confidence when fighting against Nintendo.

Even...

Create a gaming console as well.

Is it difficult to make a game console?

Extremely difficult.

This is a system project.

Microsoft is awesome. How long has it been sitting on the throne of the world's number one company? After making XBOX, there are still problems such as this and that, until some XBOX360 machines still exist.

What is the reason? Is there no awesome hardware engineer for Microsoft?
