"Pokemon" was not developed by Nintendo. It was developed by a company called Daqian Games.
This news shocked all the employees of the gaming company present. This was earth-shattering news!
"Wait, I remember when the Hasbro incident happened, the other party's company was called Daqian Entertainment." Someone remembered the famous Hasbro incident a year ago.
Although more than a year had passed, many people in the United States were still talking about that incident.
"By the way, the other protagonist of this storm is Blizzard Studio. So, Blizzard Studio is also a subsidiary of Da Qian Games!" Another person said. Then, the expression of EA's staff instantly became extremely ugly.
Although EA is invincible in the computer game industry, if you ask EA to name the competitor they are most afraid of, it will be Blizzard Studio.
This is because EA occupies almost 70% of the global computer game market and sales. However, the highest selling computer game in the world is not EA, but Blizzard Studio's "Humans and Warcraft." This game sold an astonishing 2.8 million copies and became the world's highest selling computer game. It sold almost twice as much as EA's highest selling game, "FIFA." Now, Blizzard Studio has been silent for more than a year. According to the development cycle of a computer game, Blizzard Studio will release a new computer game soon. God knows if it will be another crazy game.
EA was extremely afraid of Blizzard Games. They once offered to buy the Blizzard Studio for a sky-high price of 80 million US dollars, but they were rejected by Da Qian Games without hesitation. They even said that they would never sell the Blizzard Studio even if it was 8 billion US dollars, let alone 80 million US dollars.
Well, the subtext is that they will sell Blizzard Studio if the price is 8.1 billion USD. Unfortunately, EA will never give them that price.
"That means this Daqian Games is quite powerful!" Someone concluded.
"I think Daqian Games is definitely one of the top three companies in the world!" Nintendo's employee said with a smile. Then, the faces of Sony and EA's people turned black.
Nintendo is the world's number one company. If Daqian Games is one of the top three companies in the world, then one of us will be pulled down!
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense.
"Ahem!" An employee from a small company called Ubisoft coughed and said, "Hall B must be Daqian Games. Daqian set up such a big venue and made it so mysterious. What are they trying to do? Do you guys know? "
"This …" Nintendo's people were speechless. They only knew that the Daqian Games was the owner of Hall B. How would they know what Daqian Games were in Hall B?
On the afternoon of June 30th, 1995, it was the last day of preparation before the E3. On this day, almost all the presidents of major gaming companies from all over the world arrived at the E3 venue. Of course, they were there to inspect their companies' E3 venues.
This is the first E3, and it is organized by all the video game companies.
Before E3, the entire video game industry didn't have its own exhibition. They could only follow behind the electronic product exhibition. This was the first time the video game industry held an independent exhibition. All the big shots in the video game industry attached great importance to it. Even Yamauchi, the god of video games, showed up.
Nintendo's CEO, Yamauchi Yamauchi, Sony's Head of Games, Ken Oki, Capcom, Sega, EA, etc. Countless gaming industry bigwigs appeared in Hall A of the Los Angeles International Exhibition Center at the same time. This is definitely a rare moment in gaming history.
If someone could gather these CEOs and take a photo, it would definitely become a masterpiece. After all, 23 of the CEOs in this exhibition hall would have left this world forever by 2020.
Hall A was 15,000 square meters, but it was only that big. Sony's Ken Kotogi, Nintendo's Hiroshi Yamauchi, and EA's Tripp Hawkins all bumped into each other and appeared in the only small area where EA, Nintendo, and Sony's exhibition areas intersected.
"Hmph!" Yamauchi Games' Yamauchi snorted when he saw these two guys.
"Yamauchi Senpai, hello!" As the president of EA, Tripp Hawkins was the first to greet Yamauchi Yamauchi respectfully. Although Tripp Hawkins was the president of EA, he wasn't that old. He wasn't even 40 years old. Tripp Hawkins grew up playing Nintendo games. He naturally respected Yamauchi Yamauchi the most.
"Yamauchi Senpai, long time no see. How are you? Nice to meet you!" Ken Kokura is the least experienced of the three, but he has the best relationship with Yamauchi Games. This is because the father of PS, when he was working with Nintendo, he lived in Nintendo's company. He constantly communicated with Nintendo's various departments to determine the technical details and development direction of PS. He also had many meetings with Yamauchi Games.
Yamauchi Games' Ken Kokura was very important to Yamauchi Games. He once told Yokoi Junpei that Ken Kokura is the most suitable person to be the CEO of Nintendo. He must find a way to poach Ken Kokura to Nintendo.
After Yamauchi Games' Ken Kokura said that, Ken Kokura will never be poached to Nintendo. He later became the father of PS, another legend in the gaming circle.
After the two of them lowered their attitudes to Yamauchi Games, the three of them started to communicate.
"Yamauchi Senpai, what do you think of EA's booth? Nice to meet you! " Trip Hawkins smiled and asked. He thinks EA's booth is very good. EA has a lot of games, so EA's booth has the most content. Not only are there more than 30 computers, but there are also all kinds of game posters. There is not a single empty space in the booth. It is all EA's game promotion.
"It's too messy. I don't know what to look at!" In the end, the proud Trip Hawkins heard Yamauchi's disdainful reply, and his expression immediately turned ugly.
"And your Sony. Other than a broken console, everything else belongs to other people. You all still have the face to participate in this exhibition!" Yamauchi Hiroki said to Sony. This made Hiroki Ken's face turn black.
That's right. Other than Sony's console, the rest of the games at Sony's booth are from third parties. But Sony did not invite Yamauchi to review their booth like Tripp Hawkins. This is a pain in the ass.
"Ahem!" Tripp Hawkins coughed and couldn't help but look at Exhibition Hall B. At this time, almost all of the company's exhibition booths in Exhibition Hall A had been completed, and all of the materials had been arranged, waiting for tomorrow's exhibition.
But now, the Daqian Games are still blocking the way, so people can't see what's inside.
"What do you think the Daqian Games will do?" Trip Hawkins asked with a smile.
"They are just trying to be mysterious!" Yamauchi snorted coldly and then left. What the others didn't know was that Yamauchi wanted to use his identity to enter the B Hall to see what was going on in advance. As a result, he was blocked by the two security guards at the door. They didn't care about his identity at all.
Yamauchi Games didn't have the face to call Sony's Boss Jia. It's so embarrassing, so Yamauchi Games' booth is now sulking!
"Maybe the Daqian and Nintendo's alliance is not that unbreakable!" Seeing this, Ken Kokura Games' booth thought.
