Post-shadow Development Plan

Brother Cong smiled self-deprecatingly, because what he did before was bad enough, so as long as he and Ziyuan made some achievements, they would be able to get support.In fact, although the failure of JGC is already doomed, Brother Cong still made some efforts, such as sending a request to his old friend Masahiro Sakurai, hoping that the other party will develop a new work of "Star Wars", and urging other teams to step up Develop Jiufeng's first-party masterpiece represented by "Animal Crossing".

Because of his trust in his company's game IP, Brother Cong believes that even if JGC fails again, it shouldn't be a problem to rely on the first-party masterpiece to develop a new generation of consoles.

It is not a pleasant experience for the somewhat arrogant brother Cong to gain prestige just by competing badly.

pS: I don’t know what to say to everyone, but even answers like Tokyo Bay and Goblins came here. _(:з」∠)_

In other words, I didn't see the four seasons. Is it because there is too little playing time?Next time I will add a little more drama. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Chapter 116 New Year's Tea Party

Satoru Iwata is not the kind of person who is very conceited, but as a game developer and leader, he has sufficient confidence in his own abilities.But at present, although his status in the minds of Jiufeng employees has been significantly improved, there are many ugly voices from the management, saying that Jiufeng's improvement has nothing to do with Brother Cong's own ability, it is purely the general environment The improvement of the company has turned the company around.

This is what made Satoru Iwata very angry. If he did not do well, he could criticize him directly, but he couldn't accept this kind of questioning ability out of nothing.

"Well, Brother Iwata, calm down too." Ziyuan smiled and said to Brother Cong forgivingly, "My grandfather and I both know your ability, otherwise we wouldn't have given you the position of president. I believe in you, brother." The ability will soon convince everyone."

"To be honest, I don't care about the position of president." Brother Cong rubbed his eyebrows and said, "There are really too many things that bother me. If I can, I actually hope that I am just the director of the game department."

Ziyuan replied with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve this, brother Iwata, you should give up."

Since Brother Cong is now the president of Jiufeng, he can only continue to work as the president.Unless you change jobs or resign, there is no other possibility of leaving this position.

"Well, I'm just talking."

Brother Cong also knows that his idea will always be just an idea, but if he retires in the future, maybe he can be a game consultant?I just don't know if this wish will come true.

Brother Cong, who was somewhat depressed, didn't say anything more, he got up and left after drinking the tea in front of him.

As the first year as the president, this year's Chinese New Year is busier for Brother Cong than usual at work.Because he is going to visit the docks all over the country and interview all customers and suppliers related to Jiufeng.I usually don't have time to visit because of work, but now I have to find time to visit during Chinese New Year.This is a matter of etiquette as a business manager.

In fact, Brother Cong followed Ziyuan to meet Qiye today because of this reason. After all, Qiye has been in New Zealand for most of the year this year. After seeing each other during Chinese New Year, God knows when we will meet again.

"Sorry, Director Kiryu." When he was leaving, Brother Cong apologized to Qiye very apologetically, "Although I really want to discuss with you about the development of games in the new era, I heard Zi Yuan said that you have great experience in the entertainment industry in the new era. There are a lot of unique insights, but I really don’t have time right now, and I will visit you when I have a chance in the future.”

"He's really busy."

After Brother Cong left, Qiye couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.It was a rare meeting with Brother Cong, and he couldn't even get an autograph, which made him feel a little regretful.

"Yeah, Brother Iwata is pushing himself too hard." Zi Yuan's voice also revealed a hint of helplessness, "Working 10 hours a day, and often not even taking a day off in a week, I am worried about his body. "

"After all, Brother Cong is also under a lot of pressure. The situation of J⑥④ and JGC in Jiufeng's two-generation consoles is not very ideal. If Jiufeng fails to make breakthroughs in the next generation of consoles, it will be very important for the development of the entire company. It becomes very dangerous." This is Qiye's evaluation of Jiufeng's current situation as a dolphin.

Now the pressure on Satoru Iwata is really great, but it is precisely because of this pressure that NDS and Will have achieved success.

"However, Brother Cong is really good at making games. I believe he can reverse Jiufeng's current business status in the game industry. What we can do is to provide him with a better environment. If "Brother Kill" is successful If it is said, it will definitely relieve a lot of pressure on Brother Cong. Also, it is best to pay more attention to Brother Cong's physical condition, if such a high-intensity work breaks down, it will be troublesome."

For the Nintendo company, Cong Ge in history can be described as "devotion to death and death".Even with Willu's failure, it still can't erase his contribution to Nintendo's development.

If possible, Qiye still hopes to help Brother Cong survive.But he is very clear that the other party is a person who regards games as his life, and is also a craftsman who regards games as the meaning of his life.To prevent him from working and creating games, for Brother Cong, it might be better to die.

So what Qiye can do is to create a better and more relaxed working environment for Brother Cong as much as possible. This is the greatest help he can give Brother Cong.

"Actually, Jiufeng is still paying for Grandpa's series of wrong decisions in the 90s."

Although it is not a good thing for a granddaughter to speak ill of her grandfather, what Ziyuan said is an indisputable fact.

Jiufeng in the red and white machine era had an incomparable domineering aura, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as the overlord of the game world.

But this glorious history is both glory and pressure. After entering the 90s, Jiufeng encountered various setbacks on the mainframe.

The first is the problem of J⑥④. Perhaps because of the success of the red and white machine and the failure of the disk drive, Jiufeng became obsessed with the medium of the cassette.

Of course, Qiye thinks that the biggest reason why Jiufeng likes cassettes is that cassettes can bind developers to their own trains, and can control developers more easily.

This approach is indeed very effective when a company dominates, but when there are other competitors, it will only make the developer defect more quickly.

In fact, cassettes are very advantageous as a game carrier. After all, cassettes have the characteristics of fast reading and stable operation, but it is a pity that the technological development of cassettes lags far behind that of CDs in the 90s.

Just the advantage of large capacity makes J⑥④ helpless in front of PS.Although in terms of the configuration of the game console, J⑥④ is a little higher than PS, but the capacity limitation of the game makes these higher configurations useless.

So although the games of J⑥④ are very outstanding and very fun, they lose to Sony’s PS games by more than one notch in terms of game screen.

And this problem has not been solved in Qiye's memory until 20 years later, and the complaints about the quality of Nintendo's games have never subsided.

Although the phrase full screen gameplay is just a joke, it is also the truest portrayal of Lao Ren's games.

Of course, the problem of J⑥④ is far more than this point. There are also many problems in the design of the game console itself.Because of cost and other issues, J⑥④ game consoles use very funny designs in many places.

For example, although JGC replaced the game media with optical discs, they used 8cm small discs that were completely different from the mainstream DVD discs on the market at that time, and the capacity was only 1.5G.

The reason is that Jiufeng doesn't want to pay patent fees to the DVD Alliance. Although Jiufeng has always emphasized that the use of discs with different specifications is to combat piracy, who would believe such a thing!

Although in this world, the surname of Mr. Yamauchi was changed to Jiufeng, the problem of being stingy still persists.

It is estimated that it is precisely because of the failure of JGC that his brain can no longer keep up with the trend, so the old man will directly become the shopkeeper.

"What you said is not wrong." Hearing Qiye's complaints about her own products, Zi Yuan was not angry, but echoed along with her, "Because of the success in the early years, Jiufeng produced a kind of Jiufeng's products all over the place. It is the illusion of being number one in the world. The evil result of lying on the credit book for a long time is that you lack a keen sense of the market. You always think that players will like what you make. But in fact, these guys have misunderstood the causal relationship, Players will never accommodate manufacturers, but manufacturers need to accommodate players."

"That's right. In the past, everyone had no choice but Jiufeng, whether they were players or game developers."

"Well, the times have changed." Ziyuan nodded, "Speaking of which, if you sat in my seat, how would you think of a way to solve Jiufeng's problem?"

"I?"

"Yes, I would like to hear your suggestion. After all, you are my Zhuge Kongming, aren't you? This is a rare opportunity, Mr. Strategist, won't you come to Longzhong?"
