Chapter 268

Soon, the news came out that adali company was merged into firefly game company.

However, this is obviously expected.

Nintendo decided at the meeting to completely cancel the cooperation with firefly game company! At the same time, it also issued a warning to the third-party game providers on its side that if a game company cooperated with firefly and landed on the yadali game console platform, Nintendo would refuse to cooperate with it!

Nintendo club president Yamauchi Pu tone extremely arrogant and indifference, said: "who dares to cooperate with firefly game company, we let him go!"

Nintendo is very strong to all game companies put forward a choice!

Choose Nintendo or firefly

This problem, obviously, Nintendo is now the overlord of the home computer game platform, occupying more than 80% of the market, unmatched!

Yadali is supported by fireflies, and it is also hard to compete with them!

What's more, yadali has been losing money year after year. I'm afraid it will not succeed to launch a new game console again!

Many game manufacturers have no confidence in yadali.

Combined with the threat of Nintendo, the vast majority of game companies are in a wait-and-see state.

"Nintendo said, who dares to cooperate with firefly game company, will not allow the company's game landing on SFC platform... This is too strong!"

"Potential is stronger than people. Who calls Nintendo the only one now! Since SFC has such a large market share, it is only natural that the games on this platform can be sold more. All game manufacturers want to sell their own games on SFC platform... "

"In fact, to a troublemaker, or Nintendo's royalty system, too unpleasant! If it makes money, it will take away a large part of the profits, but if it loses money, it will all be borne by us! "

"Yes, before each game is released, we have to pay a huge amount of money in advance for the production of the game cassette. If the game cassette can't be sold, it's still ours. And Nintendo just help us make the game cassette, it has made a lot of money! Think about it. It's so depressing! "

"I don't know what yadali's next game opportunity will look like, and whether it can break Nintendo's monopoly or not..."

“……”

Although Nintendo is cruel, it is only threatening some ordinary game manufacturers. For those well-known third-party game companies, Nintendo actively woos them, proposes more preferential policies, cancels the royalty system, and charges less platform fees, because Nintendo knows that good games are the lifeblood of game machines. Before that, Nintendo was able to develop because of good games!

At the moment, Nintendo sent someone to contact the game companies such as klome, glory, nanmenggong and skowell, and Henry also sent someone to contact these four famous Japanese game companies!

The competition between the two sides has begun.

These four companies are well-known in the game industry, have developed many classic games, and have a high position in the industry. Now this situation, there are countless game companies are paying attention to them. If one of them supports yadali, then many game companies will choose to stand on yadali's side!

However, the person sent by Henry replied that the four companies were thinking about it. Although they didn't agree, they didn't refuse. Anyway, firefly game company is not a small company, and there is Henry Williams behind it. If Nintendo is killed, it's not impossible. It's better not to offend.

Henry was not surprised to get this reply. Nintendo is now the king of the home computer market, and no game company is willing to offend it easily. What's more, they don't know what adali's new machine looks like, what functions it has, how much it costs, and whether it is competitive in the market. They certainly dare not make a decision casually!

Henry thought about it and had to start from himself.

Our own strength is the absolute truth.

Starting from the home console, Henry came to Atari company to design the next generation of Atari game console.

When he came to the company, Henry called all the senior members of the company.

Henry sat at the top of the table, glanced up at the crowd, and said: "firefly game company has thrown an olive branch to the world's more famous third-party game companies, but none of them is willing to sell games on our new computers! Some of them told me that the game machines made by yadali are not good and their market share is too low. If they sell games on them, they will not only lose money, but also lose money! " Henry paused, looked at the crowd and asked, "what do you think of that?"

When they heard this, they blushed.

They had to look at each other, but no one dared to speak.

Henry said faintly: "but the more they say that, the more we need to make the game machine well. You can't be looked down upon when you live! My purpose of coming to Atari today is actually very simple, that is to help you design "Jaguar"! "

Hearing the words, they looked at Henry curiously.

Henry was silent for a moment, organization language said: "in my design requirements, the Jaguar game machine can be connected to the Internet, that is to say, it needs to install a built-in network card, and at the same time, it needs to have two more USB interfaces, one for USB mouse and one for USB keyboard!"

At present, USB has been recognized by some computer manufacturers, but it has not been fully popularized. And Henry this time, to promote the USB standard peak! When a large number of USB mouse and USB keyboard appear in the market, countless computer manufacturers want to get USB authorization!

Looking at the hesitant expression of the crowd, Henry said loudly, "only by connecting to the Internet can we make Jaguar competitive! We will develop a "TV battle. Net" platform. All "Jaguar" users can play games with other players through TV battle. Net. When players stay at home, most of them are playing games alone. Wouldn't it be better if they could play games with other people? "

Henry stopped for a moment to let everyone think, and then continued: "in addition to TV battle net, we will also develop TV Forum website, TV exchange! TV Forum website allows players to communicate and discuss the game. The TV exchange allows players to trade goods here, such as player accounts, weapons and equipment, etc! For example, the game level is very difficult. If you need to buy better weapons, you can go to the TV exchange to buy weapons. You can buy weapons from the system or players through PayPal! "

As soon as Henry finished speaking, people were a little confused.

TV Forum website is OK. After all, it is a website for players to communicate. But TV exchange, is that exaggeration? People talk and talk

Seeing this, Henry coughed twice to silence everyone.

"No matter what kind of game, the American tiger will faithfully record all kinds of data of the game. Once connected to the Internet, TV exchange will first scan Jaguar to get the game data of users! After the completion of the transaction, the game data of Jaguar will change accordingly! We will charge 20% of the service charge for the transaction between players through the TV exchange, and 10% of it will be paid to the game development company. In this way, we can create more profits for game development companies, so as to attract more game companies to join us! In addition, the TV exchange can continuously create profits, which will make the game development companies improve the balance of the game, make the game more playable, and then they can make more money! "

At this time, someone asked in a loud voice: "Chairman, if you say so, Jaguar can also be regarded as a" server "in a sense. Therefore, security is particularly important. If someone tampers with the data, it will cause immeasurable losses! "

Henry laughed and said, "that's right! In theory, it is! Therefore, we should strengthen the defensive measures in two aspects. On the one hand, TV trading has the ability to identify all data errors. Each American tiger corresponds to a set of serial numbers. Once a problem is found, it will be frozen and trading is not allowed! On the other hand, it is to strengthen the safety defense of Jaguar itself! "

Henry said faintly and confidently: "I will ask 360 McPhee, the most powerful security company in the world, to help us develop the Jaguar. Even if the FBI gets the Jaguar, it will also make them helpless!"

After hearing this, they looked at each other from left to right and were shocked.

Then, without waiting for the reaction, Henry continued: "at the same time, I'll have people develop a TV simulator platform on a computer! When you enter the "TV Simulator" platform, you can also play the game on Jaguar and enter TV battle net. The game on the "TV Simulator" platform can be played by purchasing a registration code. All game data will be saved in the company's server and bound with the game account! Naturally, in this way, it will be safer! "

Henry finally said in a loud voice: "a game can work through both Jaguar and computer. I don't believe it. There is no game company that doesn't like it!"

In fact, the TV simulator will reduce the sales of Jaguar to a certain extent. After all, games can be played through computers, and some people won't buy Jaguars. However, this will be good for game companies, who can sell more games.

Henry's move is actually to attract more game companies.

If there are more game companies, the sales of Jaguar will increase greatly. And many players become users of "TV Simulator", which is equivalent to potential users of Jaguar. Henry will strictly control the "TV Simulator" and will not simulate all kinds of games. Some classic games can only be played on the Jaguar. Players can't touch them when they see them. Can they not be itchy? Finally, you can't buy a Jaguar?

After that, Henry went back to the office and thought about the game.

No matter how good the game console is, it's useless without games.

In a previous life, biochemical crisis 1 was called the most powerful dark horse in history. At that time, almost everyone's attention focused on the shocking news of Final Fantasy VII (PS version) published by skowell. "Biochemical crisis I" was like an unknown wild flower blooming quietly in a quiet corner. The sales volume of the first day was less than 100000 sets of games. However, the super high quality of the Games caused word-of-mouth spread among the players. It can be said that the reputation of the game exploded. The shipment volume of the game in Japan exceeded one million at one stroke. This is also the first game of the PS1 console that exceeded one million!

Biochemical crisis 1 is not the top selling game on PS1, but it is of great significance for PS1. At that time, Sony's PS1 was killed by Nintendo and Sega almost as a Saviour!

Henry called Capcom to learn about the game that the company is developing recently.

Not long after the publication of "quanhuang 1992", kapukong was already developing "quanhuang 1993". At the same time, there are also two games under development, one is biochemical crisis 1, and the other is Rockman X series.

Locke X series is the second series of Locke.

Locke people are the characters in the game of Locke people. Kapukong has great ambition. After the success of the first film of the Rockman, he also wants to imitate Nintendo, and wants to build the Rockman into a highly valuable character like Super Mario, so that he can continuously launch sequels and create great benefits for the company!

Kapukong's step is right. In the future, the lockers have become the most famous video game characters under kapukong, and the IP value is huge!

Henry nodded contentedly and hung up.

At this time, he thought, although there are biochemical crisis 1 and lockers X series, the boxer series can also be transplanted to the home computer! However, the number of games is still far from enough!

However, firefly game company is developing "the best flying car", which can increase the manpower and speed up the development, and strive to complete the production before the development of next year's yadali "Jaguar" game console, and then move it to "Jaguar".

This is another classic game!

FIFA 1994 had better be reissued in the 1994 World Cup, which will have the best effect. So, football game or slow down, until 1994, you can log in at the same time in the home computer and PC!

In 1993, the Jaguar game console will be on sale. Four games are obviously far from enough. Henry sat in his office and pondered for a while. He suddenly thought that many good games could be developed.

Naughty dog company's "Gu Huo Lang 1"!

Rockstar, also known as R star's "Grand Theft Auto Driver 1"!

Gu Huo Lang 1 was originally released on Sony's PS1, and its sales volume was even higher than that of biochemical crisis 1, reaching more than 6.7 million. Therefore, naughty dog company has formed an indissoluble bond with Sony, and the final result is that it was acquired by Sony

At that time, Nintendo's Mario, Sega's sonic and Sony's puzzle wolf were often compared to show the popularity of puzzle wolf.

"Grand Theft Auto Driver 1" is violent, and its popularity is very high. The whole series has sold more than 100 million games, which shocked the industry. It is one of the few series in the world that can sell more than 100 million games!

Now these two companies are very weak, but in a few years, they will respectively develop the famous works of "Gu Huo Lang 1" and "Grand Theft Auto Driver 1". Therefore, Henry will not hesitate to send people to investigate these two companies, and then launch the acquisition action!

PS: more tomorrow.
