“…”

Yuki Yamauchi turned off the TV video. .

The content of this old man with sharp eyes was the content of the previous Order of the Phoenix press conference.

"Iwata, what do you think?"

This is Yamauchi's office, and the one sitting next to him is Iwada Satoshi.

"The other aspect is not a problem, but the so-called 'handle' is a problem for us."

gba.

This is the handheld console that Nintendo will release.

But how to say it...

"This machine...is called a bo?"

Well, that's right, Moriya used the name bo.

Yes, the former bo, in Moriya's hands, was regarded as a handheld machine, bo handheld machine...

Morika wanted to see what name would Microsoft's future machines call after he occupied this name.

It will definitely be very interesting.

Moreover, there is no reason for Moriya to do this. The handle on Moriya here is called -player, and it is also a "" series bo, so why not?

Sen Xia almost decided that he basically used "" as their label.

But Moriya probably wouldn't have thought about what kind of nickname this machine will be given by the general public in the future...

Of course, Hiroshi Yamauchi didn't care about this.

"According to the information we have received, this handheld machine called Bo is completely inferior to GBA in performance, but they have made specialized display effects, so in terms of the picture alone, it may even be better than GBA." Satoshi Iwada said of the information he collected.

Yuki Yamauchi nodded, but the majestic old man did not speak, but looked at the photos taken from the scene, as if he was thinking.

Iwada Satoshi looked at Hiroshi Yamauchi carefully.

Originally, this incident was a complete fight between Sony and the Order of the Phoenix, while Nintendo was completely making a fuss.

But Nintendo, who is so good at making soy sauce, did not expect that it would affect him.

The handheld console that suddenly appeared, and the Digital Tyrannosaurus that cooperated with Bandai. These two products are not targeting Sony, but Nintendo, which is so-called.

Nintendo, who was shot while lying down, naturally would not easily choose to swallow his anger. Hiroshi Yamauchi is not that kind of person.

But before that, of course, they should first see what happened. Why did the war suddenly come to Nintendo, which is fighting for soybeans?

"If it's just displaying the effect, there's no problem." Yamauchi spoke.

"Hi," said Iwada Satoshi, "Phoenix Club's strategy should be to use chess as a visual controller. The game functions do not pay much attention to the contrary. They even sacrifice game performance for the sake of the picture and battery life, so this machine can only support some simple text adventure games at most."

Simple performance cannot allow a machine to dominate the world. Both Nintendo and Sony understand this truth.

But if there is no performance at all, that kind of thing is not desirable.

"Is it remote gaming? Indeed, it is really interesting to let the handheld console output the picture of the host in this way." Yamauchi Hiroshi narrowed his eyes and looked at the picture, "Have you noticed their controller?"

"Pallele? Well, that product has been released, it can completely replace the current d controller, and the effect is indeed good." Iwada Satoshi had to admit, "I asked the employee to use this controller to play. He reported that even if he used it all day, he would not feel tired at all, and the more he used it, the smoother it would be."

Yes, this handle is such a powerful thing. After all, Microsoft has developed another world line for hundreds of millions of dollars.

At first, Satoshi Iwada didn't know why they used this handle as the first product of the press conference, but after using it, Satoshi Iwada suddenly realized: after using this handle, he really felt like he could not go back.

It is like players who use mechanical keyboards and capacitive keyboards find it difficult to return to the era of using film keyboards. It is also like they are completely unbearable to return to the era of mechanical hard disks after using computers that are used to using solid-state hard disks.

After using this handle, Iwada Satoshi also felt like he was "can't go back" by himself.

The feel is really great.

"They pay great attention to user experience." Mr. Yamauchi saw through the actions of Phoenix Club at a glance. "Whether it is the handle or this handheld machine, the purpose is to improve the user experience of players. This is not aimed at the handheld machine market, but really the 'handle'."

Iwada Satoshi nodded.

Of course, I have done these investigations.

But now I can't say it, and I have to pretend to be so powerful as an old man.

Mr. Yamauchi continued: "But the connection line still affects the experience. If possible, wireless projection may be their pursuit."

"Hi, if the handheld and host can be combined into one, this must be the optimal solution."

Iwata Satoshi felt that the other party’s remote output method seemed to be very good, but this was actually just a compromise solution. If possible, a machine can be held in his hand at any time and placed at home. This must be the most interesting thing, right?

"But that's impossible," said Hiroshi Yamauchi, "but there is something to learn from their plan."

"Then... this machine will not pose a threat to us?" Iwada Satoshi tried to ask.

"No, it's still necessary to fight back. That Digimon, at the beginning, was our Pokemon who followed the trend!" Yamauchi said, "It's really a pity that the Order of Phoenix can convince Bandai and Nangong Meng..."

There are many different opinions on whether Digital Tyrannosaurus is following Pokémon, but Nintendo must think that the other party follows him, because this will not only create a sense of superiority, but also put itself in a moral superiority.

"That Tianhai Senxia seems to belong to the Tianhai family, maybe it's because of this."

Iwada Satoshi is from Hokkaido. He was born in Sapporo City. His father is also a mayor of Hokkaido. Of course, he knew the "local emperor" in Hokkaido.

"Do you think the Order of the Phoenix is ​​related to them?"

Satoshi Iwada shook his head: "There should be influence, but the relationship seems impossible. This is not the style of the Tenkai family..."

Yamauchi continued: "We must prepare countermeasures."

“For Bandai?”

"No, it's still the Order of the Phoenix." Yamauchi said, "Maybe they have no intention of confronting us head-on, but in this special time, we must not sit still and wait for death. Since they threaten us, we must fight back."

At this time, the n64 machine is lukewarm, and the VR device launched before has failed. Nintendo is now at a critical moment of internal and external troubles.

If you don’t fight back at this time, in the eyes of others, this means that Nintendo may no longer work, and anyone can step on it, which is not possible.

"You will come back to our company next year." Yuki Yamauchi said again.

"Hi."

In fact, Satoshi Iwada is not currently working on Nintendo's company, but is developing games on a second party, such as the Pokemon Gold and Silver released this year.

Yamauchi Hiroshi did not continue speaking, but looked at the information in his hand.

This is the information that Digimon Adventure can now collect.

The game is divided into two parts.

On the console, this game is a cool adventure game, but on the handheld console, this game is a cultivation game.

Players can develop their own Digimon and then use it as a character in Adventure Mode.

This feeling is like the player himself has really cultivated a Digimon and then thrown it into battle.

He looked up at Iwada Satoshi and asked, "Can our Pokemon make such a system?"

Satoshi Iwada thought for a while and said, "If you modify the agreement slightly, it should be OK."

GBA can also be connected online. You only need to use a special data cable to connect to the machine, and then the two machines can interact.

Although GBA has not been announced yet, in terms of design, they do support four-player leveling assuming that the game supports multiplayer mode, and everyone online has a game cassette.

But you can see that the machine design here is to hold the handle here and then connect it through these metal contacts.

On the new game console, there is a place where you can place your handheld. Put the handheld in this regard, and the several metal contacts on it can exchange data with the machine, which is very convenient, although the cost is increased by $0.8.

Hiroshi Yamauchi also saw this advantage at a glance: "Embed directly the machine, and then the screen can be directly switched to handheld mode..."-

The bo handheld console can not only be directly connected to the TV, but also be connected through d, and directly switch to the handheld mode through d.

After connecting through this mode, the local PU of d will interpolate the picture output by bo, that is, the picture is smoothly stretched through a special algorithm, and then add operations such as intermediate frames to optimize the picture, so the display effect can be more.

You should know that simply stretching the picture and optimizing the picture by relying on interpolation are two completely different concepts.

"But they don't seem to simply stretch the picture. I've seen the specifications of the handheld machine and the published technical specifications. If it is expanded through d, it seems to have adopted another stretching mode..." Iwada Satoichi accidentally mentioned the technical link, but after seeing that Hiroshi Yamauchi did not object, he continued, "The other party seems to adjust the picture through a dpi expansion technology."

The method Iwada Satoshi was actually Morika referred to Apple's future picture stretching technology.

Of course, that's not the simplest.

Simply put, Morixia's technique is not simply stretching the picture, but also dividing the picture into three parts: picture, vector picture and text.

The picture will interpolate the picture, and then directly expand the vector pictures and text. In this way, even if it is expanded to the TV picture, the text and vector pictures can be kept clear, rather than being directly stretched into inferior pictures.

Well, this is why many students who watch animation dramas often complain that the so-called 1080p video screen is "only the subtitles are 1080p".

Of course, even if only the subtitles are 1090p, for players, at least this feeling is better than all blurred.

However, this mode is only available when connected to D, and when simply connecting to the TV, it will not have such an effect because the Bo handheld console does not have such performance at all.

And the more important thing is the algorithm problem. The algorithm is the core and the algorithm is constantly optimized. On the D side, there is room for maneuver. However, if the handheld machine itself integrates such an expansion module, the algorithm cannot be changed, and the most important thing is that the cost of the Morika cannot accept it.

"What did you see?" Yuuchi Yamauchi looked at Satoshi Iwada.

"...They control over third parties." Iwada Satoshi knew that this was what Yamauchi Hiro wanted to ask. After seeing Yamauchi Hiro nod, Iwada Satoshi breathed a sigh of relief. He continued: "This expansion method has very strict requirements on technical specifications. If the third party does not follow their methods, it will definitely not be able to do it."

Yuki Yamauchi nodded: "Yes, if we look at the previous events, we can find that the Order of Phoenix had already gathered a group of third parties before, which is the so-called 'Misin Power'."
