110. Cooperation intention
Naka Yuji told him his purpose of coming, and wanted to ask Zhan Long to develop games for the Sega SMS game console. Su Butong's face suddenly became very exciting.
Sega's SMS game console is actually not weaker than the FC in terms of functionality, and even greatly exceeds it in some aspects. However, the FC has become a trend, and Su Butong actually does not want to develop games for Sega at the risk of offending Nintendo - this relationship
Learn about the relationship between Zhanlong and Nintendo, and the future development direction of Zhanlong.
If it's a Sega MD game console, Su Butong thinks it's worth a try. It's also an 8-bit game SMS, but Su Butong isn't very interested. After all, game sales are closely related to console ownership.
Of course, Subutong didn't want War Dragon to succumb to the control of Nintendo forever, but it was not the time yet. Nintendo had already dominated the world, and what Subutong had to do was to keep up with the situation.
But Sega also had what Su Butong wanted to get - arcade development technology and experience, as well as the arcade market.
Japan's arcade market is dominated by TAITO, Sega, and Namco. However, compared to the stubborn TAITO and Namco, which is looked down upon by Zhan Long, if you want to enter the arcade market, partnering with Sega is actually the best choice.
In fact, the development technology of arcade machines is not difficult. It is similar to the development of home game consoles. They all use C language and assembly language. However, compared to home game consoles, the hardware of War Dragon is unforgettable and Sega is behind, let alone arcade machines.
The pictures actually have more sophisticated art, special effects and sound effects engineers and composers.
These require the guidance of veteran game manufacturers in order to develop masterpieces on arcades. These experiences are exactly what War Dragon currently lacks the most.
If he doesn't want to cooperate, Subudong can keep silent, but Subudong is also weighing how to reach cooperation with Sega without angering Nintendo.
"As a long-established game company with a long history, Sega, as a newly born Zhanlong, naturally yearns to cooperate with a first-class company like Sega. However, currently Zhanlong's business cannot be taken into account." What a ghost Subbutong, now Sega is asking for help
To cooperate with Zhan Long, it is not that Zhan Long comes to cooperate. Of course, conditions must be set, but these conditions must naturally be within the psychological expectations of the other party. Otherwise, if Zhan Long loses the possibility of current cooperation, it can be said that Zhan Long will also
Lost the biggest opportunity.
Whether it is FC or SMS, 8-bit game consoles are just TV games. In the 1980s and 1990s, the most advanced game technology was always implemented on arcades, and then gradually returned to console games. If the arcade link is missing,
Zhan Long will have to pay more expensive tuition in the future. But these technologies are not cabbage, so why should they teach you for free? Su Butong naturally wants to achieve a win-win situation for both parties through cooperation.
But Mr. Yamauchi is surprisingly stubborn. Now if Zhanlong takes the lead in making games for Sega consoles, Zhanlong may be the first company to be beaten by Nintendo to scare the monkeys. In the future, the first company to take the lead will be Namco, because it gave PCE
The most favored treatment was canceled due to the production of software, which greatly damaged Su Butong's vitality. In the eyes of the Japanese company, which valued integrity, he, a person from the Ren family, was a bit untouchable. As a big Japanese traitor, Su Butong did not count this matter.
What, the difficulty is how to win the maximum benefit for Zhan Long.
"Susan, I understand the difficulty of fighting the dragon." Naka Yuji felt that he had made an unreasonable request, so he apologized repeatedly.
Su Butong said with a smile: "Zhongyu-kun, there is no need to apologize. Listen to me. Although Zhan Long has difficulties, I also want to see if there is a possibility for both parties to let Zhan Long produce games for Sega?"
"Ah?" Naka Yuji didn't expect the turn to happen so quickly. He was a little surprised. He didn't notice at all that Su Butong was talking about Zhan Long developing a game for Sega, but not a console game. There was a big difference.
Subutong was not ready to develop a console game for Sega, but wanted to develop an arcade game. He wanted to develop the arcade game that was called "dropping a meteorite among the dinosaurs."
"I now have an idea that I want to develop into an arcade game, but it requires Sega's technology and experience. If the two parties can successfully cooperate on arcade games, it will be normal to develop games for SMS in the future." Su Butong considered the statement.
said.
"I understand, Zhan Long wants to develop arcade games, and wants to use Sega's existing platform." Yuji Naka nodded, and was a little distressed: "But in this case, will my original mission here be considered completed?
Woolen cloth?"
"One more partner is better than one more opponent, right?" Su Butong smiled and said to Naka Yuji. "When you go back and report to Chairman Zhongshan, you must express your intention to cooperate with Zhan Long very sincerely.
"
"Definitely, definitely." Naka Yuji said.
Su Butong accompanied Naka Yuji to visit the Dragon War, but avoided the area where the game was developed, which is now highly confidential - programmers have begun to outline the original design of the game "Blue Dragon"
shape.
Enix also joined the ranks of FC at the end of last year, and Yuji Horii probably also started developing Dragon Quest, a Japanese RPG. It can be said that the upcoming competition makes Subbutong too busy to care about it. But the Spring Festival is about to come again
As the time comes, people's hearts are wandering and they can't work at all. Instead of doing this, it's better to give them a holiday.
Fortunately, Liu Zhi has arranged a work schedule so that game development will not come to a standstill. However, Liu Zhi has complained more than once that most of the artists in his company are not professional, and the game graphics developed on 8-bit machines sometimes require subtitles.
Dong personally took care of it, and the weakness of the art would be disastrous if it were displayed on an arcade machine.
Art issues can only be solved by Su Butong himself, otherwise no matter how good the game idea is, it will turn sour.
After visiting Zhanlong, it was already lunch time. Su Butong and Liu Zhi accompanied them and took Nakayuji to eat roast duck. As a Japanese, Nakayuji does not often eat duck meat, and there are very few supermarkets in Japan that sell duck meat. So,
When Naka Yuji rolled the duck meat into his mouth, the texture of the perfectly roasted and crispy duck meat made him say it was delicious three times.
Naka Yuji had an average drinking capacity and could only drink one glass of beer. Su Butong and Liu Zhi took turns toasting, and then Naka Yuji fainted on the table.
"Send him back to the hotel. He will be on vacation in a few days. Arrange your work here and spend time with your wife and children when you go home." Su Butong and Liu Zhi rarely had the opportunity to drink in such close proximity, so they said.
"Bu Dong, how many years am I older than you? I am the eldest brother, right?" Liu Zhi said. "But sometimes I think you think more as the leader of the company... I have been thinking about how you let this happen."
Everything is in order?"
"Are you unhappy in Zhanlongdai?" Su Butong asked. "Do you still want to go back to your old job?" The reason why Su Butong guessed this is because Liu Zhi has the character of an old scalper.
I rarely chat with people like this.
"I'm actually very happy every day at Zhanlong. It's just that the leader from two days ago came to me and told me a lot, wanting me to go back..." Liu Zhiyue spoke lower and lower, feeling that something was wrong with him.
