Chapter 151: An Rong with a Spear

Originally, there was a top programmer in Jester's team, which was Nakayuji who helped him develop the simulator. However, Nakayuji's interest in designing games is much more than his interest in programming. He has expressed to himself more than once his idea of ​​becoming a game producer rather than just a programmer. Therefore, when Nash Geebery joined his company, Jester was so excited...

The most important job of Jester's visit to Japan this time is to recruit some people who can be used by him or some excellent game development companies. However, in addition to the previous recruitment of Tai Matsuno and Nobuo Uematsu, the results achieved are also difficult to satisfy him.

During this period, Jester visited one development company after another that had not officially joined Nintendo's premium program. Although Jester's rabo's sales in the North American market were far better than the NNS, which was also being tried, he still couldn't convince these people that the North American home game console market would definitely recover, and that the market prospects would be far better than the Japanese market.

Just like when Sony just entered the game industry, Ken Kutaraki, the father of Ps, personally visited Namco and Hudson and other game development companies, but the reply they received was mercilessly rejected. How similar is his current situation to that time?

Indeed, Japan is the mainstream of the current electronic game market, and although the situation in the United States has improved greatly from the past and shows signs of warming up, it is indeed incomparable to Japan, where electronic games are now in full swing.

Even dark glory...

When he thought of the words of Yoichi Yoichi Matsukawa when he went to Yokohama to visit Anrong's headquarters in person, Jester was so angry that he hated him. However, for Jester, who intends to open up the Japanese market, Anrong is currently his Rabo's only Japanese game developer, even if it is just for the sake of face-saving projects, it is necessary to win over them.

However, when I first talked, I said that I would add Ariei's "Nobunaga's Ambition" to the first batch of Rabo's first starting games. At first, Yoichi Kazukawa also agreed, but when he officially started to burn the cassettes of the starting game, I asked Ariei about this matter, but was rejected by Ariei using the reason why he encountered technical obstacles in the translation process.

Translation will also encounter technical obstacles? Such lie is that Anrong is capable. Although Jester was extremely angry after learning the news, in order to win over this only Japanese game development partner, he also suppressed this anger. The underworld journey of Sakurakawa Academy

The next few times, I was rejected by An Rong for various strange or even more bizarre reasons, and I wanted to express that I just haven't finished the meaning of "Nobunaga's Ambition" in the English version.

This time, Jester went to Anrong in person to deal with this matter. He had already reached the point where he could not bear the delay of Anrong.

In fact, when he came to Japan, Tamahiro had already told Jester the whole story.

Anrong is different from other game developers. Other game developers mainly focus on Nintendo, so no matter how harsh the premium plan proposed by Nintendo, they will want to drill in with their foreheads. Because this is a very simple truth. Although Nintendo's exploitation is to suck bones and marrow, they can't even survive without joining the camp. What do these developers care about?

You know, no company is qualified to be sucked by Nintendo.

But Anrong is different. Anrong started his career not by relying on P. P is a shared platform. Developing games on P naturally does not require looking at the faces of P manufacturers, so at the beginning, Anrong joined Jester's camp without so much hesitation. He just liked Jester's promise to his guaranteed buyout plan.

But the problem is that when Yoshikawa saw the six game developers who first cooperated with Nintendo made a fortune. After learning that he had joined the Jester camp, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Hiroshi Yamauchi immediately made it clear at an internal development company meeting that without Nintendo's permission, any developer who made games for other game platforms will automatically lose the qualification to develop games on the top.

For Yoichi Kamakawa, who had reached a cooperation intention with Jester and had signed a cooperation contract, such conditions almost killed his last thoughts and allowed him to make games for Mars Entertainment wholeheartedly. However, the visit of an internal Nintendo executive put him in a dilemma.

Nintendo told him very clearly that the contract signed by their Anrong and Mars Entertainment is two years. As long as they do not make games for Mars Entertainment in the past two years, then in two years, they Anrong will automatically be qualified to join the Nintendo camp, and in the first year, he will also be qualified to allow five games to be released on it. Guardian of Fate

You should know that in addition to the six major developers, there are only three other developers who join the Nintendo camp that are allowed to be released on the market every year.

Of course, Nintendo's words have come to this point, and Yoichi Kamikawa cannot hear the hidden meaning. If you do it for Mars Entertainment, then don't want to rejoin the development camp in the future. It would be fine if Mars Entertainment's Rabo can be perfect for Nintendo in the subsequent confrontation, but this is just beginning, who can say it correctly?

If Rabo wins this confrontation and participates in it, he will naturally have the merit of supporting him. Just like the six major developers who first cooperated with Nintendo, he will inevitably enjoy the privileges that other development companies that they will join in the development camp of Mars Entertainment.

But what if you win in the end?

Thinking of this, Yoichi Kazuka couldn't help but be frightened. He knew the character of Hiroshi Yamauchi, and the style of Nintendo, a company headquartered in Kyoto, the most conservative place. If he wins this home game console battle, then what he is waiting for him is unintentional to give up his efforts for so many years and completely get out of the Japanese gaming circle.

After all, p games cannot be compared with the profitability of home console games.

Moreover, there is another question that deeply influenced him, which made him feel a little regretful to reach an agreement with Mars Entertainment. Because the games he is good at making are all set in Japanese history, so these games will sell well in Japan. However, will the United States, the main market of Mars Entertainment, have its own Japanese historical background, a historical game they have never heard of, be accepted?

This is also the reason why he has been dragging the English rabo that he had not agreed to for Mars Entertainment before.

The contract signed by Anrong and Mars Entertainment is relatively loose. In addition to the minimum sales guarantee promised by Jest, it also requires them to release at least two games within two years, and it is not prohibited from making games on other platforms.

But Jester is not a philanthropist. The benefits with guaranteed sales will only work if they are exclusive to Mars Entertainment. If Anrong creates games for other game platforms during this period, then this benefit will naturally be automatically cancelled.

It was in this situation that Jester visited Anrong's headquarters, and Yoichi Kazuka came out to greet him personally. The Emperor's Secret of Dragon and Phoenix Order

Jester didn't talk nonsense to him. He was not a polite person, but a question. He just sat down in the reception room and didn't even drink tea. Jester asked in an angry tone: "Why don't you provide us with the English version of "Nobunaga's Ambition" before as we agreed?"

At this time, Yoichi Kamekawa was still planning to fool around with nonsense. He explained apologetically: "Mr. Li, we encountered some technical difficulties when making the English version. We are stepping up the time to deal with it. We will definitely make the English version of the game as soon as possible."

"Hey!"

When I heard the statement that Yangichi Kazuki was completely fooling a layman, it would be fine if you said this on the phone before, but I was at the scene, and you still said this? So, when I heard Yangichi Kazuki's explanation, Jester snorted coldly without saying a word.

Then he angrily scolded without hesitation.

"Mr. Yoichi Kamekawa, this time I came to visit. It was because I heard you have encountered difficulties in translation before the New Year. Terry brought two translation experts who are proficient in Japanese and English to help you solve this problem. I am also very curious. I have participated in the translation of the game myself. I really can't figure out what kind of technical problems will be there for just translating a game that will make it impossible for you to solve for several months."

Seeing Jester's attitude of clearly coming to seek revenge, Yoichi Kamekawa was also a little unhappy, but he had not completely fallen out with Jester, just like he was worried that if Nintendo won the final victory, he would never be able to recover. If he turned against Jester now, what if the winner of the last home machine battle was Mars Entertainment?

Of course, it is impossible to let the people brought by Jester participate in the translation work of the game. It is not that there is some secret in the game, but that he has not started translating yet. It is not that the projects that do not exist. How can the people brought by Jester visit or help?

Of course, it is not possible to tell the truth. After all, it is too offensive to say it like this.

If Jester knew that he had not started the formal translation, it would be considered that he had completely offended the other party. For a fenceist sect like Kamekawa Yangichi, it would be more than worth the loss. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!>
