Chapter 369 273 Yamauchi Hiroshi Sheds Tears and Executes Ma Su

Chapter 369 273. Yamauchi Hiroshi sheds tears and kills Ma Su

As time goes by, Rentendo has not only suffered setbacks in the console field, but has also been unable to recover in the handheld market.

GB is in decline, but the next generation of handhelds has not been developed yet.

In this market, Sega's GP still firmly occupies the leading position.

One of the important reasons is that the [Pokemon] series of games, which should have helped Rentendo to reverse the decline and even directly established their dominance in the handheld field, has become a competitor's game in this life.

After pokeni took away Pokémon and developed it in advance, it almost announced the death of Rentendo in the handheld field.

In July this year, Rentendo released a new handheld: Game Boy Pocket

This new console, compared to GB, uses TFT black and white LCD, weighs 150 grams including batteries, and two No. 7 batteries can work continuously for 8 hours, becoming the main source of income for Rentendo's handhelds.

However, players who are now used to the color screen of Sega GP do not buy it at all. They think that the new handheld game console of Rentian is simply insincere, and compared with Sega GP, the new handheld game console of Rentian is just like an antique that has been eliminated by the times.

Only a small number of players with feelings choose to buy GBP because they can play exclusive games of Rentian such as Mario in the handheld game console.

So, various reasons are added together.

After the launch of GBP, the sales volume was extremely bleak.

It can even be described as losing all the money.

Yamauchi Hiroshi only felt exhausted.

Now he is equivalent to suffering a double blow.

In the console market, he was strangled by Sony, and in the handheld market, because he misjudged the situation, he failed to develop a color game console that was enough to compete with Sega handheld game consoles in the first place.

More importantly, there was no good enough game in GBP to compete with Pokémon, which led to the repeated defeat of Rentian.

In the end, the furious President Yamauchi vented all his anger on the company's Yokoi Gunpei.

"This is all your fault!!!"

In the president's office, Yamauchi Hiroshi, who had just finished the interview, became furious and cursed at Yokoi Gunpei.

The latter stood still the whole time, not daring to breathe.

He was already sweating coldly from fear.

Who could have thought that,

Renten was still in its heyday, and could even be described as covering the sky with one hand.

Such a powerful Renten would actually fail.

And it failed in two very important fields in succession.

No, in terms of handheld game consoles, it can no longer be described as a failure.

"Who analyzed to me that Sega's handheld game consoles were not to be feared at all?

Who said that Sega's new handheld game console should be made into a color screen, anyway, the battery life would not be able to keep up.

Now, have they kept up?"

Yokoi Gunpei pouted uncomfortably. Who could have thought that Sony would later cooperate with Sega and help them solve the battery problem?

But who pushed Sony to Sega's side?

Who pushed Sega, Sony, and Pokeni to the opposite side of Rentendo?

Wasn't it you?

President Yamauchi?

But...

Gunpei Yokoi could only think about this kind of words and didn't dare to say them out loud.

Hiroshi Yamauchi was angry now, who dared to offend him?

Even Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto could only watch outside the president's office and didn't dare to breathe, let alone come to plead for Yokoi.

So, Yokoi could only endure this scolding by himself.

"Who said that we should develop a new next-generation game console and make a virtual VB?"

Yamauchi raised his voice again.

The latter was trembling with fear.

It would be strange if Hiroshi Yamauchi was not angry with Gunpei Yokoi. Although all this was more or less due to Yamauchi's own responsibility, Gunpei Yokoi was definitely the first to bear the brunt of the direct cause.

If Gunpei Yokoi hadn't been nagging beside President Yamauchi's ear, perhaps he would not have made such a judgment of underestimating the enemy.

So, when everything became irreversible, Yamauchi Hiroshi vented his anger directly on Yokoi Gunpei.

The battery problem has not been solved yet, so there is naturally no question of color screen.

"I will definitely work hard to develop a color handheld game console." Yokoi Gunpei bowed and bent his waist to 90 degrees.

Yamauchi Hiroshi did not speak, but just silently looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was over 50 years old.

In fact, Yokoi Gunpei is not young anymore. He was born in 1941 and is now 55 years old. He has already walked most of his life.

From the earliest time, Yokoi Gunpei has been following Yamauchi Hiroshi in 1965, founded GAME BOY, and developed the company all the way to the present.

In any case, Yamauchi has feelings for him.

But...

"Forget it," Yamauchi waved his hands, feeling somewhat helpless, "Yokoi, you have been working at Rentendo for such a long time."

"Yeah."

Yokoi Gunpei raised his head, and his voice had already started to sound like tears before he knew it.

Even though he was as strong as he was, he felt a certain fate so deeply that his throat became choked up and tears welled up in his eyes.

Looking at the president's expression, there was a sense of determination.

"Take the blame and resign, Yokoi. I really can't help you this time." Yamauchi sighed.

Yokoi Gunpei felt a blockage in his chest and couldn't breathe.

The feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

It was like being hit hard by a car.

He tried hard not to let the tears fall.

After a while, Yokoi Gunpei put his hands against the seam of his trousers and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, President, for taking care of me over the years.

While Yokoi is away, I hope the president can take care of himself and live a long and healthy life. "

After saying these words, Yokoi raised his head and said, "Then, I will take my leave first."

Looking at Yokoi's leaving figure, Yamauchi couldn't help but sigh, and his whole body seemed to be a few years older.

The next day, Mr. Gunpei Yokoi, the head of the first development department of Rentendo, submitted his resignation letter to President Yamauchi due to unfavorable decision-making.

Hiroshi Yamauchi also accepted his resignation letter.

To be precise, Gunpei Yokoi, as the head of the company's R&D department and also in charge of the life and death of the console, made major decision-making mistakes in a few years and wasted a lot of the company's time. resources, but failed to achieve adequate results.

All this was enough to discredit Yokoi Junpei and lose his face.

It was also under such circumstances that regardless of whether the president was disappointed with him or not, Gunpei Yokoi himself would take the blame and resign.

So, the final result is-

Gunpei Yokoi, the most loyal minister of Rentendo, the earliest veteran figure, and the father of GAME BOY, left Rentendo.

Since then, various news media have reported extensively on this time.

The main reason is that Yokoi Gunpei's identity is too special.

"Sorry to hear this news -

As the earliest employee of Rentendo, Mr. Gunpei Yokoi, the head of the First Development Department, left Rentendo the day before yesterday.

The internal news was caused by the failure of the VB and GBP projects led by Mr. Yokoi. As the head of the department, Mr. Yokoi took the initiative to resign.

Things like this can't help but make people sigh.

In the history of the game, Gunpei Yokoi definitely has an important position and is a name that can be recorded in the annals of history.

Let’s review Mr. Yokoi’s contributions during his time at Rentendo…”

“It’s really surprising news, but it seems reasonable.

Mr. Gunpei Yokoi left Rentendo.

I hope that in the future, Yokoi can still engage in his favorite career and bring us more excellent products.

Although Yokoi left Rentendo, it does not mean that the name Yokoi Gunpei will become dim from now on. On the contrary, we interviewed Mr. Yokoi Gunpei.

He said he still has unlimited vision for the future.

Although he is now 55 years old, Mr. Yokoi still hopes to continue to contribute to the world.

It should be that Mr. Yokoi Gunpei will devote himself to a new career in the near future.

We also wish him great success. "

"What is the real reason why Yokoi Gunpei left Rentendo?

We can completely regard this incident as the inevitable result of the formalization of the TV game industry. Yokoi was born with an artist's strong desire to create.

Such people made outstanding contributions to the nascent period of the TV game industry.

However, when companies such as Rentian Tiantang become listed companies, they will inevitably take more objective factors such as product profit returns and shareholder interests into consideration, and the space provided for artists to create freely will become increasingly narrow.

In addition, at the beginning of his business, Yokoi often went beyond his superiors to state his opinions directly to President Hiroshi Yamauchi. He had a unique sense of superiority in Rentendo. As the company expanded, this special treatment gradually disappeared, which made him feel a strong sense of loss. "

Neon industry critic Hisakazu Hirabayashi analyzed Yokoi’s resignation this way: “In the past, the game industry often had one or two people working alone to complete a personalized game product.

But as the times change, this industry will become increasingly large-scale, and those who still have a sense of handicraft workshops will be forced to withdraw from this stage..."

Yokoi Gunpei explained his views on Rentendo in an interview with Nikkei: "Initially, President Yamauchi guided us to continuously invent unique products with the ideas of short, small, light and thin.

I consider it a great honor.

Today's Rentian Paradise is too pursuing luxury and integrity and is completely divorced from the original intention of the past. Relying on huge profits from a single product will inevitably cause the company to gradually lose its creative vitality.

Pursuing the essence of the past is the real reason why I left Rentian! "

In the Nikkei Shimbun report, it was described as follows:

“The so-called luxury platform refers to the new console NINTENDO64 launched by Rentiantian at that time.

Yokoi Gunpei's tragic career was often the inevitable result of the fierce conflict between his innate artist temperament and the real business society. "

The media reports were like a storm, quickly sweeping through the entire Neon, and even the entire world heard the relevant news.

Yokoi Gunpei's identity and experience are too special for everyone to treat him as a general resignation.

Even Yokoi Gunpei's words that he wanted to start a business were selectively ignored by people.

What everyone sees is nothing more than [Ren Tiantian is missing a general].

President Hiroshi Yamauchi is a completely cold machine with no feelings, and he only cares about making money.

Gunpei Yokoi resigned from Rentendo, where he had worked for more than 30 years, on the grounds that he was responsible for the failure of VR BOY. That day triggered panic selling of Rentendo's stock.

As a result, Rentiantian's stock price plummeted.

However, although Yamauchi Hiroshi was mentally and physically exhausted at this time, even if he knew the result of driving Yokoi Gunpei out of Rentendo, he had to make such a decision with great determination.

Just like Zhuge Liang killed Ma Su with tears.

There is a deep sense of helplessness and powerlessness.

However, Qing Zhiyuan, who learned the news, said that this was not killing Ma Su with tears. This was clearly killing Hua Xiong with tears.

At this point, the Yokoi era of Rentendo ends, and a new chapter may be rewritten.

November is a time of change.

Sony’s PS console has confirmed its dominance, but at the same time, Rentendo’s newly developed 3D game——

"Super Mario 3D Adventure" is also officially launched.

It was just a little too late to let the world see the dawn of Rentian.

Many players have said that Mario 3D is so fun.

It is indeed one of the best games in Rentian.

In this game, 4 people can play at the same time. After all the scenes, levels and characters are 3D, it presents an unprecedented sense of freshness.

At the same time, on the basis of retaining Mario's classic mushroom-topping and mushroom-stepping gameplay, the game also adds some other interesting elements, such as being able to eat and transform into a cat, and being able to climb trees...

The elements of the levels are also more diverse and enriched.

Such a very sincere and creative game immediately attracted a large number of players as soon as it was launched.

After the game was released, sales exceeded one million in just one month.

And successfully increased the sales of N64.

"Super Mario 3D Adventure" can be regarded as a victory for Rentian.

The internet is full of positive reviews from players:

"It's great. It's really touching to see Rentendo's new works, especially the Super Mario series that I like very much."

“I loved Mario when I was a kid, and Super Mario is a game I’ve been playing all the way through Rentendo’s development.

This time, the 3D version reflects Rentiantian's creativity and imagination.

I really love this game. "

"Rentendo is Rentendo, and he is still the guy who makes the game full of fun and playability. Many new elements have been added to "Super Mario 3D Adventure", and he has not lost himself because of the 3D version. It even has more innovative content.

Each of these levels is very imaginative, and my friends and I were very happy throughout the game.

This is probably the most fun multiplayer indoor game I have played since Pokémon 3D. "

"It's really a blessing to be able to play "Super Mario 3D Adventure" with my friends."

However, there are also many negative voices on the Internet.

The biggest doubt is that the sense of déjà vu in “Pokémon 3D World” in “Super Mario 3D Adventure” is too strong.

"Have you noticed that "Super Mario 3D Adventure" has heavy shadows of "Pokémon 3D World"?"

"Hmm, in terms of camera angle and operation mode, they are really similar."

"The key is that the N64 controller is really not as easy to use as Sony's PS, which makes it quite difficult for us to play. Originally, according to the normal controller, we can move accurately by flicking the joystick.

However, in the N64, there is only one joystick at the bottom, walking or cross keys, which is very uncomfortable because you only have 4 directions to choose from.

Fortunately, the game itself is good. It can be regarded as a childhood dream that has continued to this day.

If Lao Ren can improve further, it would be great if the controller can also be brought in line with Sony. "

“When I play Rentendo’s Super Mario 3D Adventure, it really feels like I’m playing a modified version of Pokémon 3D World.

Of course, it’s just a sense of déjà vu.

Maybe it’s because they are all pass-through games, all action games, and they are all lightweight with various items to eat, open boxes...

I always feel that they are somewhat similar, but if you look deeper, you can still find that there are big differences between the two.

Each Pokémon among the Pokémon has its own special ability, and you can also get the right to use new Pokémon after completing the level.

By the way, it can also evolve.

These are all characteristics of Pokémon.

Among Mario, they are all Mario’s own characteristics.

Hmm... I hope there will be more games like this. There are still too few games on the market that we can play together.

And during the game, I was really happy the whole time. "

"..."

Generally speaking, "Super Mario 3D Adventure" is the most beautiful battle played by Rentian in the past two years. It not only revitalizes the classic IP, but also makes the 3D Mario glow with strong vitality.

At the same time, it increased revenue and increased N64 sales.

It's a pity that it was not that timely. If it could have been half a year earlier, maybe everything would be different.

Just when Shigeru Miyamoto and others were happy about the gratifying results of the game,

They didn't know yet that a large wave of Pokémon was coming.

First of all, after signing the cooperation agreement, Pokeni's president Qing Zhiyuan and Mr. Toshio Suzuki of Studio Ghibli announced the news that Pokémon and My Neighbor Totoro will cooperate and link up.

Totoro:

After this incident was reported, it immediately caused an uproar.

Countless players and game industry insiders were shocked:

"What? Totoro wants to join Pokémon?!"

"It seems like this. Both Qing Zhiyuan and Suzuki Toshio have confirmed the authenticity of the news and officially announced it."

"Oh my God, what kind of dream combination is this?!"

"President Qing Zhiyuan is so imaginative. I really admire him for actually thinking of seeking cooperation with Ghibli and absorbing Totoro into Pokémon."

“When the news came out: What?! Totoro is actually joining Pokémon?

What is this?

But the next second:

What? !

Totoro is joining Pokémon!

God, what a genius idea this is!

Totoro really fits well with Pokémon. "

"Hahaha, it's true. I used to watch animations, and My Neighbor Totoro was really cute. I still collect Totoro peripherals, including pillows and dolls.

I just think this guy is so cute.

I never thought that my favorite would one day appear in another game I love.

It really is a dream come true. "

"This is some kind of dream combination, it's so suitable, isn't it?

I feel like my life is complete. "

“Double Chef is really overjoyed this time, and players who like Totoro and Pokémon are greatly satisfied.

I hope there will be more similar things in the future! "

"I really want to cry to death, I love Totoro so much. When I used to play Pokémon, I used to think -

It would be nice if Totoro was a Pokémon too.

I never thought that one day my dream would come true!

pokeni race high!

Qing Zhiyuan competes high! "

————————————————————————

There is another chapter in the afternoon

Gunpei Yokoi in history also followed this route:

First, there was a mistake in decision-making. VB, which led the research and development, suffered losses because its concept was too advanced.

In 1996, Gunpei Yokoi resigned, left Rentendo, and then established KOTO Co., Ltd. by himself.

On October 4, 1997, Gunpei Yokoi died in a car accident. At that time, because his vehicle broke down, he got out of the car to inspect the damage. While inspecting, he was hit by another car and died of his injuries.

Ended a legendary life.
