Chapter 497: Nintendo's new strategy

Nintendo is well aware that they are lagging behind on 128-bit consoles, so they must strive to catch up. Of course, they firmly believe that the linkage model can make their handheld gBa develop faster.
Today, the architecture of gBa is also well completed. At the end of the year, the development platform can attract investment, attract more game manufacturers to join, and make more and more fun games.
But at this time, Nintendo suddenly discovered that they are very lacking in 32-bit games. They have not launched 32-bit game consoles before.
Nintendo jumped directly from the 16-bit sFc to n64, mid-range. But they can't do it on the handheld.
Among the 32-bit game camps, the contingent is the most, Zhiduoxing is second, Sega Bandai, 3Dos, etc. are also some, and more are in the hands of those third-party game manufacturers.
Nangongmeng, Square Enix, etc. are the top manufacturers in 32-bit games, both in terms of quantity and quality.
These game makers were originally from the Nintendo camp. Only because of the entanglement of other game console manufacturers and Nintendo's decision-making mistakes at the time, some third-party game makers were punished, which led to the continuous decline of their game camp.
This time, Nintendo is planning to bring back those game makers, so he will spare no expense.
As long as there are benefits, those companies will not refuse. After all, everyone was very happy to cooperate at the beginning. Nintendo made a lot of money, and those companies did not make a lot of money. Many companies developed on Nintendo.
What's more, 32-bit games are now down, especially for 2D. Under the turmoil of Zhiduoxing, prices continue to fall, and those game makers can't be tempted by the money they can earn.
This time Yamauchi called two young subordinates whom he favored, one was Yan Tiancong and the other was Jundao Duji. Among them, Yan Tiancong is the president of a second-party game development company. Today, he is recruited to the headquarters of Nintendo by Yamauchi to serve as the head of the business planning department.
Another military island Tatsuki, who is also in charge of the second-party game development company, Yamauchi prepares to send it to the United States to take over the work of his son-in-law.
"Jundao Darji, your task is to go to North America, contact some game manufacturers, buy 32-bit games, and publish them on our gBa. At the same time, try to get more 128-bit game licenses, even if It’s not an exclusive license."
"This matter, I will say hello to Arakawa, and you will also be transferred to the North American branch as the head of the business planning office."
"Yan Tiancong, you are the person in charge of the operation and planning department of Nintendo headquarters. I hope you can re-establish contact with our partners. The third-party game camp under Nintendo must be expanded as soon as possible. On this generation of game consoles, I allow Lost to Zhi Duoxing and Chang Ni, but it must be able to suppress Sega Bandai."
"On the next generation of home game consoles, we will regain the throne of the king. This time we will let other game companies see our sincerity and can make certain concessions in terms of royalties. This matter requires a thorough completion within six months. , Are you confident?"
Yan Tiancong bowed his head and bowed his head: "Please rest assured, I will not be burdened. I will start with Square Enix, within a month, I promise to reconcile with Square Enix."
Junji Daji looked at Yan Tiancong in amazement. Square Enix was punished by our Nintendo, but he almost went bankrupt. If Nila hadn't, I don't know what it would be like.
Now you have to reconcile with Square Enix, can others agree?
However, Junji Daji also knows that Yan Tiancong is the heir elected by the president, and he must make some beautiful achievements before he can take over the position of president. Otherwise, other directors will definitely support Mr. Arakawa more.
Junji Daji actually hopes that Arakawa will take over as president, so Arakawa may retire in five years, and he still has a chance. If you let Yan Tiancong take over, at the age of the other party, you can't sit still for more than ten years.
Fortunately, Yan Tiancong is so proud, young people, some don’t know that the sky is thick and thick, go to Square Engagement for reconciliation, isn’t that asking for trouble!
Yamanouchi was also a little surprised by Yan Tiancong’s choice, but he still believed his subordinates: "Okay, let go of it. If you can succeed, you will be the vice president this year."
Adding a new executive position is a matter of words for Yamauchi. Their Yamauchi family, but firmly controlled Nintendo's board of directors.
Soon, both of them went out. Yamanouchi leaned on the chair and pinched his bridge of nose. This time he allowed ngc to fail and sold less than Zhiduoxing and Changni, but gBa is going to regain the throne of the king of the handheld!
Zhiduoxing should be immersed in the joy of the success of home game consoles, knowing that their ngc will be listed in advance, and surely the strategy will make some adjustments.
Nintendo is to drag Zhiduoxing into the competition of video game consoles, and not give Zhiduoxing too much time to develop handhelds. As long as Nintendo can take the lead this time, it will be a success!
Other companies don't know, but Nintendo is very clear that the profit of the handheld is also very rich. Of course, the game console does not make much money, but the game is very profitable.
Judging from Nintendo's revenue over the years, the revenue of gaming consoles is not as good as that of games, and the profit margin is even more incomparable.
Originally Nintendo's most important opponent was Chang Ni, but now it has become Zhi Duoxing. Think about the man at the helm of Zhiduoxing Group, only in his twenties, and still have the energy to manage the company for decades. Looking at his descendants, none of the young people can make him worth it.
However, Zhiduoxing Group has developed a new profit model ~ EbookFREE.me ~ they do online games, relying on time card fees, I heard that they have made a lot of money in China.
China has always made Nintendo very envious, but it is difficult to develop. Their game consoles can't be sold, nor can their games. Piracy is rampant, and there have been few complaints without much compensation.
Originally, Zhiduoxing sold in China, and the arcade hall was reorganized there. From the perspective of Yamanouchi, Zhiduoxing will also lose Huaxia's local market with great potential.
But an online game is actually selling so well, how can people in China suddenly be willing to spend money? And not only in the Chinese market, but in other parts of Europe and America, they sell well, and some people in the island country like to play.
Fortunately, Nintendo explored the Internet profit model through 64DD, and they also intend to perfect their Internet gaming platform. Because their ngc cannot be backward compatible this time, they are at an absolute disadvantage in the game lineup.
In the future of the company, Yamanouchi does not have much energy to manage. He only hopes that he can choose a suitable heir smoothly in the past two years, and he can still take two years.
Before he dies, hope to see Nintendo stand on top again!
