“GBC！ Jia Jun, your information network is excellent. You even know about Nintendo's top secret! "Yamauchi looked at Boss Jia cautiously.
GBC was still in the middle of research and development. It was a secret project that Nintendo had just started. He didn't expect Jia Yapeng to know about it. This made Yamauchi angry and annoyed. He was angry that Jia Yapeng had secretly obtained information about Nintendo. He was also annoyed that his own people were so useless that the information was leaked so easily.
"Yamauchi senpai, don't be angry. Nintendo is the strongest company in the industry. Of course, there are countless eyes on it. We are all eager to know about Nintendo's movements. After all, this is related to the lifeline of all video game companies. We can't help but pay attention to it!" Boss Jia said with a smile. His words made Yamauchi feel a lot more comfortable. This invisible flattery was good!
"Alright, since Jia Jun already knows about GBC, then let's talk openly. GBC is still in the early stages of research and development. I'm afraid it will take one or two years for it to hit the market. The earliest it can hit the market is 1997. Jia Jun, are you willing to delay the release of Pokemon until two years later and give up such precious time?" Yamauchi squinted his eyes.
"Jia Jun, although you have made many classic games, you are still a newcomer in the video game industry. You don't understand the players' mentality very well."
"For the players, it's normal to like the new and hate the old. No matter how good a game is, it will be forgotten by the players after two years. Therefore, if we want to ensure that our game is fresh and memorable in the eyes of the players, two years is the best time. We have to release a sequel in two years. Otherwise, the players will forget that Pokemon exists in the world! "Yamauchi said calmly.
"Sigh …" Boss Jia sighed. Then, he seemed to be deep in thought. Yamauchi, who was beside him, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Let's forget about it!" After waiting for a little while, Yamauchi's face became long. At the same time, a flame of anger accumulated in Yamauchi's head. He was ready to burn our Boss Jia to ashes at any time.
"Why?" Yamauchi asked with a cold face.
"Because I think that compared to Pokemon's reputation and quality, nothing else is important. Everything else can wait!" Boss Jia said with a serious face, "GB's functions have really been developed to the extreme in the first generation of Pokemon. If we continue to sell the second generation on GB's platform, then Pokemon 2 will become a game that has no innovation at all. It's just a change of skin. Then, the excellent reputation that has been accumulated since the first generation will all collapse!"
"That's why I'd rather wait for another two years to protect the reputation of the Pokemon series!" Boss Jia finally said.
"Gasp!" Yamauchi took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Actually, as a game developer, Yamauchi understood Boss Jia's thoughts very well. No one would want their second generation game to have no improvements compared to the first generation. It was like sending the game's reputation into a meat grinder. Therefore, Yamauchi could completely understand Boss Jia's decision.
But now that Nintendo's survival was at stake, Yamauchi couldn't accept it. He didn't care whether the Pokemon series' reputation would be ruined or not. He just wanted Nintendo to survive the most difficult year and a half until the next generation of Nintendo's console was released.
"However, although we can't release a new installment of the Pokemon series, the Daqian has prepared a lot of other games. These games can all be released on SFC. I think they can make up for the loss caused by the delay of the new installment of Pokemon!" Boss Jia suddenly said with a smile.
"The Daqian has other games?!" Yamauchi looked at Boss Jia in surprise. He had almost forgotten that the Daqian had other games besides Pokemon.
The best of them was Sword and Saber Divine Realm, which became the most popular Japanese RPG game under Nintendo, second only to Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy. Other than that, there was also Tomb Raider, which was a deciphering exploration game, and Forbidden Tome of Magic, which was a fighting game.
Although these two games weren't the most popular games in their generation, they were still excellent works. Both of them had sold more than a million copies.
Therefore, the Daqian Games' achievements in other areas were still very impressive and couldn't be ignored. Now, according to Jia Yapeng's tone, it seemed like the Daqian Games was going to release a new game.
"What games are you preparing to release this time? Have you let the Nintendo Games Department review them?" Yamauchi asked curiously.
"We have prepared a total of five new games this time!" Boss Jia said with a smile, "As for the review, it should be submitted to Nintendo for review next month. I hope that Yamauchi senpai will give me face at that time and not fight for me."
"Haha, that depends on the quality of the game itself!" Yamauchi said with a smile, but a few drops of sweat flowed down his forehead.
Oh my God, Da Qian Games has actually produced five new games. It has only been ten months since the last time they released three new games. The production speed of this game is a little too high, isn't it? This is even faster than Nintendo, which has three game development studios, to develop new games.
"These five games can't all be trash, right? If all of them can't pass the review, wouldn't it be a huge disgrace to the Daqian Games?" Yamauchi asked, worried that the five games would pass the review.
Yamauchi didn't know how big the Daqian Games Department was now.
In addition to the Rocket Team, which was a game development team that focused on Pokemon, Da Qian had two other game development companies in Japan. Bilibili, which was in China, had also been divided into two by Boss Jia. They had basically become two independent teams.
One of the teams focused on software development, which was responsible for the development of the various companies in Fusang. The other team was responsible for game development.
On the other hand, the number of programmers in Bilibili's game development team was actually three times that of the software development team. From this, one could imagine how much effort Da Qian had in the game development team.
"Oh right, this time the entire gaming industry is planning to hold a huge global gaming exhibition. It will be held in Los Angeles in the United States in July. Does the Daqian Games plan to participate?" Yamauchi suddenly asked.
"I didn't know there was such an exhibition!" Boss Jia was stunned for a moment. Then, he realized that the game exhibition in Los Angeles that Pu Yamauchi was talking about was the first E3 game exhibition!
