Chapter 651: Cunning Yamauchi Hiroshi!

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

Aren’t the planners behind it Yamauchi Hiroshi and others?

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

In fact, this is very beneficial for the early and even mid-term development of these game companies, such as the historical Xiaobo Company, Oriental Pearl Company, Capcom, Konami, etc.

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

There are also Sony and others.

In the mid-1990s, the North American Nintendo Division eased the harsh policies that led to bloodshed and violence.

After Sega developed its 1ga CD, Nintendo initially discussed with Sony to design a CD-ROM disc player for the SNES game console, but they also worried about Sony's acquisition of all CD-ROM benefits and their failure of Sega Mega CD; 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 had added a disc player, the public did not pay much attention to it; Sony began to research and introduce a new product - PlayStation.

Why did Nintendo suddenly betray Sony?

Because at that time, Nintendo found that Sony, which it had cultivated through cooperation, had grown so big that it began to scare itself, so it had to give up cooperation with Philips.

That's exactly what happened.

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

They would still drink it because they could take advantage of such an opportunity to expand their game business.

Historically, Capcom, Konami, Sony and other Japanese game companies have all succeeded.

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

The cunning Hiroshi Yamauchi has thought about it more deeply. He is not afraid of Empire Games, nor is he worried about the greed of Empire Games.

As long as they cooperate with Empire Games, they may surpass Empire Games.

Maybe not now. Just give Nintendo ten or even more than ten years, and then it will surpass Empire Games.

This is what Yamauchi Hiroshi really considered.

"President, you?"

"Is M country strong enough now? Many companies in M ​​country are strong, right? However, when our Japanese companies cooperate with M country companies, M country companies will also propose many harsh treaties. In the end, our Japanese companies will win. Now the practice of Empire Games is exactly the same as those of M country companies."

Yamauchi Hiroshi said directly.

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

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

"President, in this case, you can join the alliance organization hosted by Empire Games."

"You must join."

Yamauchi Hiroshi also thought of another thing.

A few years ago, when Taito Co., Ltd. was the most powerful, Kogan also organized the Arcade Game Alliance. However, a few years later, the former overlord of the Arcade Game Alliance became half-dead and even had to rely on its old capital.

In Yamauchi Hiroshi's opinion, the future Empire Game Company will also be like Taito Co., Ltd.

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

However, he didn't see anyone from Empire Game now, including Xu Qingsheng and Nakanishi Akio, who didn't come to see him.

This made Yamauchi Hiroshi very strange.

Because he heard that Capcom, Pearl of the Orient, Xiaobo, and even Konami, Namco and other companies, Nakanishi Akio had all looked for their presidents.

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

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

. . .

That night.

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

Shigeru Miyamoto carried his briefcase.

He took out the key to open the door, and just after entering the door, he shouted loudly: "I'm back."

This is the tradition of the Orientals.

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

When Shigeru Miyamoto changed out of his suit and leather shoes, his wife came out and said, "Sir, there are guests at home."

Guests?

What guests?

Shigeru Miyamoto was a little surprised.

When he went over, he saw a young man who looked like a Chinese sitting cross-legged and drinking tea.

Isn't this Mr. Xu Qingsheng, the head of the East Asia department of Empire Games?

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

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

Xu Qingsheng was very surprised.

Since he knew that President Yamauchi Hiroshi actually wanted to join the game alliance organization of Empire Games, Xu Qingsheng and Akio Nakanishi of Empire Games had never met Yamauchi Hiroshi.

What Shigeru Miyamoto didn't expect was that he would meet Xu Qingsheng in his own home.

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

Gunpei Yokoi was the soul of Nintendo and the most important person to Yamauchi Hiroshi.

My role is really not that big. Compared with the creator of Nintendo culture in history, it is indeed far behind.

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

Take a fancy to him?

Shigeru Miyamoto was surprised.

"Why?"

"Because our Empire Games Company really needs talents like you. You should know the former game design director of Taito Co., Ltd., Tomohiro Nishikado. Now, he is one of the three giants of Empire Games. If you join our Empire Games, your position will not lose to Tomohiro Nishikado in the future."

After hearing this, Shigeru Miyamoto did not feel anything.

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

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 a senior executive in the planning department. If it were not for his father's familiarity with Hiroshi Yamauchi and introducing him to Hiroshi Yamauchi, it would be difficult for him to get promoted in this life.

"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I won't leave Nintendo."

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

At the beginning, Tomohiro Nishikado, Akio Nakanishi, and Masato Matsushita, who was willing to leave Taito Co., Ltd., eventually they all jumped ship and joined.

Naturally, they still felt that there was no future in the original company.

Today's Nintendo is actually similar to Taito Co., Ltd. at the beginning.

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