Minoru Arakawa and Gunpei Yokoi were stunned by Liu Zhiyuan's crazy idea. What exactly is a handheld console now? Hiroshi Yamauchi's assessment is correct, it is an outdated gadget, but now Liu Zhiyuan actually said that he would develop a handheld console

To the point of excess performance! What is that point? How much funding will it cost?

"It's just a matter of investment. Nintendo and Sega saw the future of home consoles, so they spared no effort in development. So with FC and MD, there will be stronger consoles in the future. So I am optimistic about the future of handheld consoles. Why?

Can’t there be a more powerful handheld console?”

"Battery problem? If the market for handheld consoles is so huge, and GS and Yuasa feel the demand for batteries in handheld consoles, won't they make improvements? You two should know about large-capacity rechargeable batteries, right?"

Rechargeable batteries have actually been around for a long time, but no one has thought of developing them into game consoles yet. It’s not that these manufacturers are fools, it’s that the game market simply doesn’t need rechargeable batteries.

"The battery problem has been solved, but is there still a problem with the color screen and function? The biggest limitation of the handheld machine is the power consumption problem. Once this fundamental problem is solved, everything else will not be a problem."

"Sega has made MD, the first 16-bit home console in the true sense, then our Han Dynasty can make the first 16-bit handheld console! This is not what I am talking about in the ideal future, but

The next step of the Han Dynasty’s plan is to launch a 16-bit handheld console next year!”

It’s really not difficult to build a 16-bit handheld console, especially after mastering MD’s technology, but it’s difficult to achieve battery life! The earliest war on handheld consoles can be traced back to 1983. At that time, there was no third-party statement, and a handheld console only had one game.

, the situation at that time was completely different from now.

Black and white handheld consoles were not out of date at that time, and many manufacturers joined the battlefield. Nintendo's GAMEWATCH, Sega's GAMEGO, and many other manufacturers wanted to get a share of the pie. It was also during this period that Nintendo and Sega became enemies.

Battery.

Sega had begun to use rechargeable batteries at that time. You can imagine how far Sega's technology was behind Nintendo, but it was this rechargeable battery that completely caused Sega to lose the handheld market.

"Sega gives you cancer."

Nintendo's frivolous words directly destroyed Sega's first handheld console. Of course, this was not Nintendo's nonsense. It was caused by Sega's batteries really containing carcinogens and immature battery technology.

Later, in the GB era, Yokoi Gunpei suddenly grasped the core of handheld consoles, battery life! He would rather use fully mature and even slightly backward technologies to ensure battery life. The concept was successful.

In 1990, Sega made a comeback with GAMEGEAR. The initial popularity was quickly defeated by the 3 hours of battery life. A month later, NEC also came with PC-EGT, with a color picture that was even stronger than Sega GG.

The era can almost scream for the arrival of abnormal functions. This handheld machine, which is comparable to the performance of home consoles, lost to GB without any suspense in just one hour of battery life.

There were no lithium batteries in this period. One side had four AA batteries and could play for dozens of hours, while the other side could only play for 3 hours or even 1 hour. This disparity made players know who to choose without even thinking.

But the color screen is a huge selling point in this era. Mobile phones are not yet popular. Even the screens used for mobile phones can only display a few fixed numbers. In other words, in this era, handheld devices have color screens.

There are not many found in the world.

Relying on the color screen, even if the battery life is astonishingly low, the GG has actually been brilliant. There is no way, the color screen handheld device is too attractive, but the high usage fee has made it very difficult for players. At this time, Nintendo released another BUG-level device

A masterpiece, Pokemon! This time, the originally anxious handheld battlefield came to an end. From now on, the rhythm of the handheld market will be completely controlled by Nintendo. NGP developed by SNK is the first black and white 16-bit handheld machine.

Just one week after its release, the color screen version of GB was completely overtaken by the bloodbath. From now on, it will be difficult to shake the big mountain of Nintendo handheld consoles, let alone knock them down.

Observing the history of handheld consoles, you will find that handheld consoles only need two things to win the market. Fun games and super battery life. With these two points, it is difficult to fail. And Liu Zhiyuan has no shortage of fun games. As long as

If he solves the problem of battery life, he will dominate the handheld market.

He has not yet discussed the development of rechargeable batteries with GS Yuasa and others because they are still observing the market to see whether the black and white handheld console is a temporary novelty for players or whether players simply recognize it.

Once players agree, it doesn’t take Liu Zhiyuan to say that they will do their best to develop new batteries. Liu Zhiyuan knows very well what kind of battery is the best partner for handheld consoles. With the technical capabilities of GS and Yuasa and Liu Zhiyuan’s super

According to the concept of the times, PSP batteries will be developed in less than a year.

Liu Zhiyuan never thought that the second handheld console of the Han Dynasty would be black and white. He wanted 16-bit color. This is a complete electric tiger. It is impossible to use AA batteries. One hour of battery life is said to be high.

Yes, it must be a PSP battery, and even with a PSP battery, the battery life will not exceed 10 hours.

The market for handheld consoles is recognized by players. You don't have to think about it to know that Nintendo and Sega will definitely not let it go. Sega will most likely still be GG. He doesn't know if Nintendo loses Gunpei Yokoi. But no matter what, there is no doubt about the strength of these two companies.

, if Gremlins 2 cannot lead with a huge advantage, the market will definitely be divided. Don’t forget, there are many manufacturers that can make handheld consoles, and they will definitely enter the market. This is something he cannot accept.

He is ready. He will use most of the profits from the elf to invest in battery technology. The 16-bit color screen technology is no longer a problem for the Han Dynasty. The key is that this huge investment will not make GS and Yuasa cheaper.

China is also learning! When China's battery technology catches up in the future, he will completely get rid of the Sword of Damos hanging above his head.

"Can the technology of the Han Dynasty be used to make a 16-bit handheld console? I believe that you have mastered the technology of MD, but the handheld console is not a 16-bit console compressed to the limit by MD. Why do you rely on it? Who did you turn to to develop your hardware?"

Arakawa Minoru raised his question, saying that he didn't know how the elf was developed. He was the promoter of GB, so he knew very well how much technical content it contained. With the foundation of the Han Dynasty, he...

"Have you ever heard of MSI and Biostar? Two hardware equipment manufacturers in China. They belong to me and belong to the Han Dynasty."

In one sentence, Minoru Arakawa was shocked. He knew about MSI and Yingtai.

"You...you have already thought of today before you have entered the game market?"

Arakawa Minoru had studied Liu Zhiyuan's work. Except for the three arcade games initially sold to Sega, except for Tetris, he was very aware of Liu Zhiyuan's subsequent actions, but he never knew when Liu Zhiyuan acquired two hardware manufacturers.

Business! It must have been purchased by Liu Zhiyuan when he first entered the game market, otherwise he would not have known about it!
