Chapter 266 Choice
This is the official Mars Entertainment, and it was the first time that they revealed their news about the next generation of console development in front of the media.
This news also made the reporters present excited, which means that not only Sega has already set a console, but the new console of Mars Entertainment is also set to be officially set? On the other hand, Nintendo's development plan has just begun. Obviously, Nintendo's two companies cannot launch new consoles faster.
But immediately, Jester said in his next answer: "But although we started the development project very early, I have never asked the development team to be as soon as possible. Our goal at that time was consistent with our current goal, which was to make our next generation host the best possible."
"That is to say, your progress is not as fast as Sega, but you can guarantee that your new host will perform better than Sega's?"
Someone asked this question.
And Jester did not hide it and replied directly: "I'm afraid you're right."
When Jester accepted the information of the question and answers at the "American Rally" performance meeting to spread the information of Kyoto, Japan, Mars Entertainment had already started the development of the next generation of consoles, but the progress was slightly behind Sega's news that once again caused a stir in Nintendo's senior management.
Yokoi Junhei received a notice from Hiroshi Yamauchi and asked him to go to the conference room for a meeting.
He frowned and his pace was in a hurry. It can be seen that he was not in a good mood at this time. In fact, he was not in a good mood during this period, especially when he heard that Mars Entertainment had started the next generation of console development a few years ago, he instinctively thought that this was not true, but his other idea was constantly reminding him that it was very likely true.
He had told President Yamauchi that after Sega launched their next-generation console, the one that should be worried about the most should be Mars Entertainment, because in terms of the entire market, they are the well-deserved leaders. Even if they have to worry, it is not their turn to worry.
However, this must be based on the other party being the same as himself, and not preparing for the host in the next era. If the other party was prepared and prepared for any incidents, then Nintendo would be truly in the biggest crisis now. The person who originally thought he could join forces to boycott Sega's sixteen-bit computer suddenly became a state of 8-bit computers or sixteen-bit computers, and his previous long comments became useless.
At the top-level Nintendo conference, senior staff were basically full.
Yamauchi Hiroshi forced himself to suppress the shock and anger, looked around everyone, and then his eyes fell on Miyamoto Shigeru.
During this period, Miyamoto Shigeru was mainly developing his "The Legend of Zelda II". Although he has heard a lot of news that is not good for Nintendo recently, it is all about hardware. He is just a game designer. He can't even talk about hardware. If he talks more, the layman will help him. This time, he suddenly held a high-level meeting of all the people. He also guessed that it might be related to the news that Jest admitted that the sixteen of them had been developing for a long time.
So, when Yamauchi Hiroshi first clicked his name, Miyamoto's face immediately showed a look of surprise.
He didn't understand why he was the first to ask himself at this time.
"Is the game development still going smoothly?" Of course Hiroshi Yamauchi would not be confused and asked someone who had no experience in hardware development about hardware. In fact, due to various negative news during this period, he has no connection with the company's game development. It just so happened that he also learned about it. After all, for Nintendo, at least for now, games are still the most important.
Because he knew that even if Sega could officially release their new sixteen-digit phone this year, it would not be the first half of the year. It would not be earlier than October. He even thought of the most suitable time for Sega, that is Christmas.
Hearing this question from Hiroshi Yamauchi, Shigeru Miyamoto reacted and the president called him not to ask him about hardware, but to his best game development.
“It’s going well.”
Shigeru Miyamoto said briefly that the research and development of "The Legend of Zelda Ii" has just begun. Now he has thought about it before the formal development, and of course it will be smoother. In the entire game development, the most difficult ones are actually a period of time. However, it is obvious that the main body of the meeting of Hiroshi Yamauchi this time was not to ask about the development of "The Legend of Zelda Ii". He just wanted to briefly understand, such as when the current progress can be completed at the latest, etc.
The questions I asked later are also related to these.
After letting Miyamoto sit down, Hiro Yamauchi looked around the scene again. When he saw the entire venue was silent, he spoke: "I guess you are calling you here this time. I guess you know what's going on. There is nothing wrong with it. It's about our next generation of host development. As far as we know, we are facing a cold winter now."
Yamauchi Hiroshi's words left the whole conference room speechless. They all knew that no matter how fast they were, they would not be able to produce a qualified 16-time home console this year. Sega has basically been confirmed to be available for sale within the year, and Mars Entertainment obviously did not fall behind too much, which is too much pressure on them.
If Sega's new console is successfully released and the functions of the 16-bit machine are confirmed, and the game effect above will improve in quality compared to the eight-bit machine, then what awaits them will definitely be the betrayal of the entire third-party camp.
This is almost a catastrophe for Nintendo.
Yamauchi Hiroshi looked at the faces of everyone present after he said that, and he became extremely ugly. He sighed. To be honest, after the incredible success of the release of FC in 1984, he did not realize that the next era would come so soon, and he did not realize that such a powerful opponent as Mars Entertainment would appear. On the other hand, Jester, who has always regarded as Nintendo's biggest opponent, immediately established a development team for the next generation of consoles when Dreambox was just released.
This kind of vision and knowledge are indeed above yourself, and far above you.
