Chapter 38 Subculture and GB Handheld

The emergence of subculture has never been formed overnight.

From Wanhu's first game, "The Tower of Magic" to the latest game, "The Sims - The Way of Comics", Wanhu has carefully written a background story for each game. This time-consuming and labor-intensive approach and completely different from other game manufacturers' fooling around, and finally gradually gained results.

"Brother, brother, look at this!" A child who looked only in the second or third grade of elementary school and was not over ten years old, held a book called "Player Heart" magazine and ran to his brother.

The patient brother looked at the comics found by his young brother. He looked at the comics he carefully and then and the expression on his face changed.

When he saw his younger brother looking at him seriously with his head raised, he smiled and touched his younger brother's head, rubbing his younger brother's hair. He said, "Is it good to tell you a better comic? I don't think this kind of comic is OK!"

"Okay!" My brother has no idea that his favorite works have been "insulted". His brother is a cartoonist. It is because of his brother who likes to read comics. He thinks that his brother can definitely draw better comics!

After talking to his younger brother, his elder brother, who was quite different in age, did not immediately start painting comics about Wanhu Games. Instead, he drafted a letter first, intending to entrust the comics to socialize with Wanhu and request Wanhu's authorization.

Since my brother entered the industry and entered the comics industry, copyright has become an increasingly serious problem. This is even more true after animation production introduced the concept of production committee. In order to ensure their own interests, the requirements for copyright have reached a pathological level.

You should know that it is not that no one has tried to draw a comic about the history of electronic games. However, while the history of Japanese electronic games is magnificent, it also means that many companies have become the dust of history, and the relationships of those still exist may not be very good. If you want to obtain the authorization of all electronic game companies, draw such a comic.

Maybe if you apply for authorization, you will apply for vomiting blood.

My brother has tried to draw comics about electronic games before, and even painted special comics for them when requested by some manufacturers.

However, most electronic game companies actually have nothing to draw. The plot is too thin, and even only has one sentence of background setting how to draw.

No matter how you draw it, even if the manufacturer really agrees to the emergence of such a work, it can only be used as a fan work.

But Wanhu's games are different. Although he felt that the American cartoonist's story was not good, he even felt that the cartoonist did not respect the comics and was a wild cartoonist who became a monk halfway.

However, he still felt the charm of the background of Wanhu electronic game. In addition to his younger brother's favorite, he tried to obtain Wanhu's authorization and draw a wonderful and interesting comic that he was satisfied with.

—————

There are more and more derivatives generated around Wanhu electronic games. Whether it is Wanhu authorized derivatives or unauthorized derivatives, all of this shows that Wanhu's game audience is getting wider and more influence is getting bigger.

However, these are of no use to little geishas.

The little geisha was nervously waiting by the phone, waiting for his first week sales data of "The Sims - The Way of Comics".

Although the gg handheld machine claims to be released simultaneously in Japan and North America, in fact, the gg handheld machine in Japan has basically been out of stock.

After a period of production capacity climbing, the gg handheld machines that Chinese factories can produce every week have reached 100,000.

Logically speaking, the terrifying manufacturing capacity of up to 400,000 units per month should be able to fill the market in North America and gradually meet the market in other regions. But in fact, this is not the case. In this handheld machine war with slight twists and turns but no opponents, Wanhu has already achieved phased victory in North America. Without competitor handheld machine, the production capacity of 100,000 units per week still cannot withstand the enthusiasm of North American players.

Even because of the popularity of gg handheld in North America, Hong Kong films who were originally more resistant to the implantation of gg handheld in gg handheld, disagreed with gg handheld from the beginning and became a state of pursuing.

Don’t look at Jackie Chan’s movies, he defeated the tall and powerful white villains again and again. However, for Hong Kong, which has been colonized by Britain for many years, his "caring" about white people can be said to be more than their own imagination.

In such a great form for ten thousand households, Nintendo's gameboy handheld machine finally came off the production line smoothly.

The Nintendo people led by Yokoi Junhei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Nintendo's weakness is that his technical strength is too weak. After experiencing this handheld incident, Hiroshi Yamauchi, who has always been very eager for technical talents, is even more eager for technical talents.

Unfortunately, Nintendo is located in Kyoto. Although it can be said to be the second largest city in Japan and the capital of Japan before, this city with a deep historical heritage is much less attractive to young people than Tokyo.

Nintendo, headquartered in Kyoto, has to pay a lot of money to find excellent talents than other electronic game manufacturers with headquarters in the news.

Although in order to solve this problem, Nintendo also set up a special technology research and development department in Tokyo. However, the effect was not as good as expected.

Because Nintendo's R&D focus is still in Kyoto, the geographical distance greatly increases the communication cost. On the other hand, since they are all working in electronic game companies, why don't they enter the headquarters in Tokyo, and companies that seem to have more room for promotion are going to enter the Nintendo branch.

Even if you go in and perform well, wouldn’t you have to go on business trips to Kyoto frequently, and maybe you can be transferred directly to Kyoto?

You should know that although you can do any game and any hardware design, there are still not many people who choose Nintendo.

Although Hiroshi Yamauchi knows the importance of talents, he only cares about talents. He still doesn't like to do things that have his own chip production capacity and screen production capacity, which is thankless and cannot see short-term benefits.

In his opinion, it would be better to cooperate with other things on the field.

Just like the super red and white machine SFC, which is still under development, in order to pursue better sound quality, it is working with Sony to use the audio chip produced by Sony.
