Chapter 651 Cunning Hiroshi Yamauchi!

Historically, this alliance organization and these overlord clauses were proposed by Nintendo itself.

Isn’t the mastermind behind it none other than Hiroshi Yamauchi and others?

In that case, why do all the Japanese game companies drink this poison with their eyes closed?

In fact, this is of great benefit to the early and even mid-term development of these game companies, such as Wavelet, Pearl of the Orient, Capcom, Konami, etc. in history.

In particular, Capcom and Konami relied on this alliance to transform from small companies into one of the gaming giants.

And Sony, etc.

In the mid-1990s, the North American Nintendo division softened its harsh policies that had led to bloodshed and violence.

After Sega developed the Mega CD for its 16-bit platform, Nintendo initially discussed with Sony to design a CD-ROM drive for the SNES game console, but they also obtained all CD-ROM benefits for Sony, and they contributed to the failure of Sega.

Mega CD was worried; therefore, Nintendo terminated its cooperation with Sony and switched to cooperation with Philips.

Nintendo announced that they had formed an alliance with Philips. Although the SNES game console added a CD-ROM drive, the public did not pay much attention; Sony began to research and introduce a new product - PlayStation.

Why did Nintendo suddenly betray Sony?

It was because at that time, Nintendo discovered that Sony, which it had cultivated through cooperation, had grown so big that it began to scare it, so it had no choice but to give up cooperating with Philips.

That's exactly what it is.

From this point of view, when companies like Sony first joined this alliance, didn't they see the overlord clause of this alliance and didn't they see that it was poison?

I still keep drinking it because I can take advantage of this opportunity to grow my game business.

Historically, Toyo game companies such as Capcom, Konami, Sony, etc. have all been successful.

Now Nintendo's internal executives, including Gunpei Yokoi and Shigeru Miyamoto, are opposed to joining this game alliance because they feel that the conditions of the game alliance are too harsh.

The cunning Hiroshi Yamauchi has thought deeper. He is not afraid of the imperial game, nor is he worried about the greed of the imperial game.

As long as you cooperate with Imperial Games Company, it is possible to surpass Imperial Games Company.

It may not be now. As long as Nintendo is given ten or even more than ten years, it will surpass Imperial Games by then.

This is what Hiroshi Yamauchi really considers.

"President, you?"

"Is Country M strong enough now? Many companies in Country M are powerful, right? However, when our Toyo companies cooperate with companies in Country M, Country M companies will also propose many harsh treaties. In the end, our Toyo Company wins. Now

The practices of Empire Games are exactly the same as those of companies in Country M."

Yamauchi Pu said directly.

In other words, as long as Imperial Games dares to cooperate with them, Hiroshi Yamauchi believes that it will surpass Imperial Games.

When Gunpei Yokoi and Shigeru Miyamoto heard it, it was really like that.

"President, if you say so, you can join the alliance organized by Empire Games Company."

"You must join."

Yamauchi Hiroshi also thought of another thing.

A few years ago, when Taito Co., Ltd. was at its strongest, Corgan also organized an arcade game alliance. However, within a few years, the former overlord of the arcade game alliance became half-dead now, and even

You have to rest on your laurels.

In Hiroshi Yamauchi's opinion, the future Imperial Games Company will be like Taito Co., Ltd.

The more Yamauchi Pu thought about it, the more proud he became.

However, he has not seen anyone from Empire Games now, including Xu Qingsheng and Akio Nakanishi, who have not come to see him.

This made Hiroshi Yamauchi very strange.

Because he heard that Akio Nakanishi had approached their presidents at companies such as Capcom, Pearl of the Orient, Wavelet, and even Konami, Namco, etc.

These companies are also preparing to sign contracts with Empire Games to join this game alliance organization.

Hiroshi Yamauchi has been waiting for a long time now, but he hasn't seen Xu Qingsheng and Akio Nakanishi come yet.

...

That night.

Shigeru Miyamoto, who was wearing a suit and driving a Honda sedan, had just returned to an apartment in Tokyo where he and his wife lived.

Shigeru Miyamoto is carrying his briefcase.

He took out the key and opened the door. Just as he entered the door, he shouted: "I'm back."

This is the tradition of the Oriental people.

When I come back from get off work, they will shout at the door.

When Miyamoto Shigeru changed out of his suit and leather shoes, Miyamoto Shigeru's wife came out and said: "Sir, we have a guest at home."

guest?

What guests?

Shigeru Miyamoto is a little strange.

When he passed by, he saw a Chinese-looking young man sitting cross-legged and drinking tea.

Isn’t this none other than Mr. Xu Qingsheng, the person in charge of Toyo of Imperial Games Company?

"Mr. Miyamoto Shigeru, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

"Mr. Xu, why did you come to me?"

Xu Qingsheng was surprised.

Ever since he knew that President Hiroshi Yamauchi actually wanted to join the gaming alliance organization of Imperial Games, Xu Qingsheng and Akio Nakanishi of Imperial Games had never met Hiroshi Yamauchi.

What Miyamoto Shigeru didn't expect was that he would see Xu Qingsheng at his home.

At this time, Shigeru Miyamoto was still a subordinate of Gunpei Yokoi.

Gunpei Yokoi is the soul of Nintendo and Hiroshi Yamauchi’s most important figure.

His role is really not that big. Compared with the person who later became the founder of Nintendo culture in history, it is indeed far behind.

"Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto, I came to you because Empire Games and I have taken a liking to you."

Fall in love with him?

Shigeru Miyamoto was surprised.

"Why?"

"Because our Imperial Game Company is in great need of talents like you. You should know Tomohiro Nisikado, the original game design director of Taito Co., Ltd. Now, he is one of the three giants of Imperial Game Company. If you join our Imperial Game Company

, your status will not be lost to Nisikado Tomohiro in the future."

After Shigeru Miyamoto heard it, he felt nothing.

"Sir, Mr. Xu just told me a lot. He thinks you have a great future in joining Empire Games Company."

Mrs. Shigeru Miyamoto said.

At this time, Shigeru Miyamoto did not have such an important position in Nintendo. He was just a subordinate of Gunpei Yokoi and an executive in the planning department. If his father had not introduced him to Hiroshi Yamauchi because his father was familiar with him, I am afraid that this would have happened.

It's hard to get to the top in your life.

"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I will never leave Nintendo."

Xu Qingsheng seemed to have guessed this and he was not in a hurry.

At first, among Tomohiro Nisikado, Akio Nakanishi, and Masato Matsushita, whoever was willing to leave Taito Co., Ltd. eventually joined them.

Naturally, I still felt that I had no future in my original company.

Today's Nintendo is actually very similar to the original Taito Co., Ltd.

The most critical products, including the Famicom and Mario designed by Shigeru Miyamoto, were developed by Imperial Games, just like Taito Co., Ltd.'s "Space Invaders" was sold to Imperial Games in advance.
