Author: Quiet Thought

The angry Junping Yokoi took the handheld machine he bought back to the office, without delaying it, and directly removed the outer packaging in a few seconds.

This time I touched this so-called GAME BOY with naked hands, and its smooth and shiny texture became more obvious.

Junhei Yokoi was a little confused. The workmanship was so fine that it was much lower than the Nintendo handheld console.

Can this competitor, who has not yet remembered his name, really make a profit?

With such doubts, Yokoi Junhei gently pressed the power-on button.

"Ding~~dong~~" A pleasant sound of music sounded, and the familiar logo on the screen appeared again.

There was actually a sound? Yokoi Junhei felt a little pressure. At this moment, his handheld machine did not have such a function.

Moreover, such workmanship and such fine design are by no means something that an unknown small club can do.

If this is the case, it is obvious that the other party has no intention of copying the house and making shoddy money.

This will be another strong opponent in Nintendo, Yokoi Junpei subconsciously thought of it.

As the game console started, the first game loaded was "Thunder and Lightning", which was just played in the convenience store.

It's not difficult to get started with the game, it's a typical shooting game.

However, the level difficulty and game rhythm are designed very compactly, and waves of enemies are always stimulating your nerves.

The attack methods of players and enemies change occasionally, and with unique sound effects, it has a strong sense of substitution.

After experiencing it for a while, Yokoi Junhei switched to GAME B again, and he wanted to see what the so-called two games were like.

The gameplay of "Snake Eats" is simpler and the difficulty of getting started is also very low.

This obviously takes a different style of the first game, focusing on leisure and entertainment style.

After playing the two games for about ten minutes each, Yokoi Junhei put down the handheld console with a serious face.

Things are even more serious than he thought. It can be said that from the appearance design to the gameplay, Nintendo's GAME WATCH was completely crushed.

How long has it been, and less than two months since my handheld machine was released, such excellent competitors have appeared.

Yokoi Junpei himself didn't believe it if he said that the other party was not prepared.

However, in such a short time, it is definitely impossible to make such a perfect handheld machine.

Did you think about it when you collided with the other party? Nintendo was one step ahead by accident?

Yokoi Junhei couldn't help but start to doubt his initial judgment.

However, he didn't understand the specific facts, but he knew the seriousness of the matter.

Without delay, he immediately picked up the handheld machine and left the office, heading to the higher floor upstairs.

…

"Is this what you mean by Nintendo's rival?"

The hair in the office was meticulously combed, and the mountain was thin with brown glasses. She was playing with the handheld machine in her hand and thoughtfully.

He is already in his fifties, with a rosy complexion and bright eyes, and he has no age at all.

"Hai" Yokoi Junhei nodded seriously, "Everything is first-class in both workmanship and content."

It's not just first-class, but its own GAME WATCH is simply second-class compared to it.

But Yokoi Junpei was still a little arrogant in his heart, and with Yamauchi, he was embarrassed to say that.

"My colleagues have never disappointed me." Yamauchi smiled freely, "How is its performance? Has it affected our products?"

"It's only been on the market for two days, and it's not clear about its performance for the time being. But..." Yokoi Junhei looked a little hesitant, he didn't know how to express it.

Judging from the reactions of the two children outside just now, this competitor should not be underestimated.

But there is no data yet, and it seems a bit inappropriate to make a conclusion in front of the president.

After all, the name of Yamauchi's "Tyrant" is not just a joke.

Irresponsible speculation would still be scary if it made him angry.

"Feel the pressure?" Yamauchi seemed to guess what Yokoi Junpei was thinking and expressed his hesitation for him.

Yokoi Junhei was stunned, then nodded honestly and responded, "Hay."

"Tell me about their advantages over Nintendo." Yamauchi's lips slightly pursed, and his expression became a little serious.

“Their workmanship is better than ours, and some of the designs are unique.

Especially this square cross key, it is very smooth after experience, and the direction is sensitive and there is no delay."

Junhei Yokoi admired the design of this cross key in his heart. He must have a strong man in hardware design.

"There are also game content..." He paused and decided to answer truthfully, "It's also very interesting, even more interesting than ours."

After hearing the last sentence, Yamauchi's face finally turned serious.

If it is just an excellent hardware design, he is not too worried.

Because he knows that as a gaming console for entertainment, interesting content is its core competitiveness.

If Nintendo also loses this mountain, the future results will be self-evident.

"It's really impressive." Yamauchi couldn't help but sigh.

"By the way, President. The logo of this company always looks familiar."

Junping Yokoi, who had just rushed upstairs, didn't even have time to check which company it was from.

"Shirakawa Electrical Appliances"

"Eh?" Yokoi Junhei was a little unresponsive.

Yamauchi pointed to the newspaper on the table, and the latter turned his eyes.

"Shirakawa Electric's huge investment of 6 billion yen has officially settled in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture.

At present, the reporter learned that the construction of Shirakawa Electric's new factory building has officially started today..."

"Shirakawa Electric?" Seeing the familiar logo Yokoi Junhei finally reacted, "Aren't they making audio equipment?"

He had also eaten the melon at the time in the sensational infringement case in the first half of the year.

But I didn't expect that the melon would fall on my own head in a blink of an eye.

"That's why it's impressive."

In fact, when Yamauchi just got the handheld machine and saw the familiar logo, his inner surprise was no less than that of Yokoi Junhei.

In addition, the black and thick words 6 billion yen in the newspaper made him envious of him. He was so rich.

You should know that Nintendo is still owing a lot of debts at this moment. He can immediately take out 6 billion yen, and the other party's strength cannot be underestimated.

Actually, he didn't know that the newspaper was deliberately exaggerating.

This investment will take several years to complete, and Shirakawa Electric has not even invested 2 billion in the first capital.

But none of these matters. What matters is that Yamauchi knows that Nintendo has ushered in a new opponent.

Moreover, the other party's capital strength may be stronger than Nintendo, but as an old player who has been immersed in the entertainment and gaming industry for many years, Nintendo also has its own advantages.

"Keep watching the performance of the other party's handheld console, if the sales figures are higher than Nintendo.

Then we can also refer to the other party’s advantages, whether it is content or hardware.”

"Hai"

Both Yamauchi and Yokoi Junhei take all this for granted.

I am not worried about the infringement caused by this, even if Shirakawa Electric has just dealt with an infringer.

Why? Because Neon's electronic gaming industry is still in a turbulent era of disputes between kings, and everyone is growing wildly.

In the arcade field, Taidong, the leader in the game arcade, has been popular since two years ago.

Those who have money can go to discuss cooperation and get authorization, those who have no money can copy it directly, and the image content will not be modified.

This is the boss in the arcade field, and everyone ignores it.

At that time, I took part in "Space Invaders" the day earlier, and the profits I made were like robbing money.

At that time, the 100 yen coin was even out of stock on the market because of the popularity of this coin-operated game console.

This shows the money-making ability of super popular games.

So have these counterfeit companies been sued? The answer is no.

These small clubs are very cunning and don’t make them bigger or do them secretly.

The purpose is to make a fortune. Sometimes Taidong Company cannot even find that it is copied.

As a listed company, how did Nintendo do it in the face of a superstar like Space Invaders?

Nintendo released a product similar to Space Invaders and its similar products, Space Fanatic.

The game content is exactly the same as the monster image. This is the answer given by Nintendo.
