Yokoi Jun sat in his office, looking a little lonely.

More than a month ago, he was the most prestigious and influential figure in Nintendo after Hiroshi Yamauchi. Even the president of Nintendo, North America, who is known as Hiroshi Yamauchi's successor, and the son-in-law of Mr. Hiroshi Yamauchi, Arakawa Miya has a slightly inferior position in the headquarters.

Not to mention Shigeru Miyamoto, Masao Uemura and others.

These people are not even qualified to be compared with themselves. It is not that Yokoi Junpei is resentful. He is not that he is arrogant and rebellious. He is a pity for Nintendo.

Yes, this cooperation with Sony, or alliance, can indeed help Nintendo get rid of this predicament for the time being, but what after that? With the end of this cooperation, after learning about all the experience of developing game consoles and having a good start to cooperate with Nintendo's third-party games.

Will Sony, which is rich and powerful, just be willing to be an allegator of Nintendo and a bystander in the increasingly large video game market?

Yokoi Junhei felt that behind Sony's humility, there must be an astonishing greed hidden.

Moreover, even with Sony over this new generation of console crisis, Nintendo still faces such a situation, and is simply unable to seize more market share from the increasingly powerful and mature Mars Entertainment, and even faces the fierce look of Sega, a rising generation in the home game industry.

Sega is not a company that knows nothing about the electronic game industry. They are well-deserved veterans in the entire Japanese game industry and are one of the founding members of the Japan Arcade Association. Moreover, almost all Japanese game developers now, except for their Nintendo, are members of the Arcade Association.

In Yokoi's eyes, only by opening up new markets and markets that others have never touched can we recover Nintendo's disadvantages as a whole.

If President Yamauchi can follow his advice and be willing to take this risk this time, maybe Nintendo can really be pulled back to a situation that is equal to Mars Entertainment...

What a pity.

After sighing, Yokoi Junhei also knew that Nintendo and Sony had formed an alliance, and that his idea was absolutely impossible to realize, and he had received a cold treatment that he had never been before. Even President Yamauchi, who always valued him, had never come to explain to him.

“It’s time to leave.”

I don't know why. Such a sudden idea suddenly appeared in Yokoi Junpei's mind. It lingered for a long time and became clearer. He subconsciously rejected such an idea, but nothing could be done about it.

Why did he have such thoughts? No one knows his feelings for Nintendo better than himself. He is just an ordinary worker. Without Nintendo, without the favor of President Yamauchi, there would not be the current Yokoi Junhei. He is a kind-hearted person. As long as Nintendo did not let him down, then he would never let Nintendo down.

Not to mention leaving, he was willing to accept it even if he was asked to return to the workshop to work as a front-line worker on the production line.

However, now he can't help thinking so.

Since I was sent to the second hardware development department, I became a commander with a bareback. My daily job was to sign in at the time of time and then leave at the time of time. My daily job was to come to the office, read the newspapers uniformly purchased by the company's administrative department, drink a few cups of coffee, and then leave.

This is true every day, and it seems that I have become an idle person.

It would be fine if the company was so idle, but every time he left the office, he would always see a look and all the steps were in a hurry. Among these employees, there were those who were familiar with themselves, and some of them had only seen strangers. However, he could tell from the movements and expressions of these people that Nintendo is extremely busy now.

What about myself?

Although I don’t know if it’s a psychological suggestion, Yokoi Junhei always feels that people nowadays have a strange look when they look at them. He can’t explain clearly what this look is. In short, it is a look that makes him very uncomfortable.

After returning home, after eating the meal made by his wife, Yokoi Junhei locked himself in his house.

His wife also knew that everything was wrong with her husband recently and wanted to comfort her, but she always didn't know how to speak. When she thought about the words and was about to say it, she saw that her husband had already walked to her room.

Yokoi Junhei waited for half a month. President Yamauchi seemed to have forgotten him, and had never contacted him, nor even had a phone call. In recent development meetings of the joint development team, he did not give him instructions to attend.

Indeed, I was not allowed to join the joint development team, but according to my position in Nintendo's hardware development department, it would be fine to attend and listen. Even if I don't allow myself to participate in the development, I can always give me some advice, right?

This is still not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that after being squeezed into the second hardware development department, a vague news broke out in the company, because Nintendo and Sony made great concessions in this cooperation. Not only did they agree with all the requirements for hardware development proposed by Sony, they even allowed the authorized new hosts to be independently produced after the new machine was completed, and even allowed Sony to contact third-party developers to give them the right to develop games on the new hosts.

You must know that these rights have always been regarded as the fundamentals of Nintendo.

Such suggestions are simply a shame for Nintendo today. In other words, there is a voice coming from the top management now, that is, someone needs to be responsible for it.

When such suggestions have not been publicized to the public, most people don’t know, so this kind of voice is still relatively small. However, when these news is gradually released, Nintendo will have to bear a lot of pressure, that is, one person needs to come out to take responsibility for why Nintendo did not start developing new consoles in advance.

This is a very simple truth. If Mars Entertainment is not developed in advance, then this is not a problem. However, if Mars Entertainment's new console is almost finalized, it will be a very important thing for Nintendo.

As for Masayuki Uemura, the main designer of FC, is now the chief designer of the new host, so it is impossible for him to be pushed out of the cylinder, although the delay in home machine development should be the responsibility of the minister in charge of home machine development.

Next is President Hiroshi Yamauchi, the most authoritative in Nintendo. Hiroshi Yamauchi cannot have flaws or mistakes. That is to say, it is due to his analysis of the strategic level. The fact that the development department has not taken the lead in developing new hosts cannot be pressed on Hiroshi Yamauchi.

However, it is obvious who must come out to take responsibility for this matter.

When Yokoi Junhei thought of this, his lonely expression in his eyes became heavier and heavier. Has President Yamauchi not seen him for a while, just to make himself think of this and take the initiative to take the responsibility?

After the lonely look, there is a kind of unwillingness.

Because the development of home computers has never been the main responsibility for me, although I am the number one figure in Nintendo's hardware department, I will definitely be exposed to a lot of things about home computer development, but these tasks have always been responsible for Masayuki Uemura.

But now, I need to come out and give an explanation to people outside who do not understand the truth.

Yes, people from the outside world don’t understand the truth, they only know that I, Yokoi Junhei, are the hardware manager of Nintendo. So there is no mistake in this incident that I took the blame. Thinking of this, Yokoi Junhei smiled bitterly. It turned out that he was just a chess piece that could be abandoned anytime and anywhere in the eyes of President Yamauchi.

Since he thought of this, even though he was unwilling to leave Nintendo like this, Yokoi Junhei made his decision.

He took a breath, took out a piece of white paper from the drawer, then picked up the pen on the table, and began to write something on the white paper. At the top of the white paper, the position where he looked up, he wrote the three words resignation letter.

The next day, Yokoi Junhei came to Yamauchi's office with a calm expression. He met Nintendo employees on the way, and he greeted the other party with an extremely calm expression. There was no way to tell at all that he was a person about to leave.

Yamauchi's palm trembled at the letter Yokoi Junhei handed him.

He is not a person who allows himself to be weak, although he really wants to say to Yokoi Junhei, stay, I don’t mean to let you leave. I haven’t seen you during this period, so I want to calm you down.

However, after hesitating for a few seconds, he abandoned all these words from his mind.

Yes, Nintendo does need to take the blame alone now, but even if not, it doesn't matter to Hiroshi Yamauchi. In Yamauchi's opinion, his own prestige is enough now. As long as he is still there, no one dares to gossip inside Nintendo.

Moreover, he knew Yokoi Junhei's talent. He was a real genius. He was absolutely unwilling to let the other party leave so simply.

But what if he is unwilling to give up? He knew that Yokoi Junhei was a very decisive person. As long as he decided on something, it would be impossible for anyone to change his mind, just like he was so persistent in the development of a palm machine before.

Hiro Yamauchi looked up at Junhei Yokoi again. There was only a look of no hesitation in the other party's eyes. At this time, Hiro Yamauchi was thinking that if he could see even a slight intention of trying to keep him from the other party's eyes or expression, then he would not hesitate to break the bottom line he had set for himself before.

Because Yokoi Junhei is worth his doing.

However, he didn't see it.

"All right."

Without persuasion, Yamauchi signed his name at the end of the letter.

And just as he lowered his head, he did not notice that a look of loneliness and disappointment flashed in Yokoi Junpei's firm and decisive eyes.

For him, his Nintendo career ended like this. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, novels are better, updated and faster!
