Super Game Empire

Ken Kutaraki called Yamauchi Hiroshi the first call. He roughly knew some of the relationship between KTT and Nintendo, but whether the two sides are now hostile, aggrieved cooperation, or a hard-core allies, he must make sure that he will not go any further.

.

"President Yamauchi, I want to contact KTT to port their two PC games to the PS platform. I wonder if you have any good suggestions?"

When Yuuka Yamauchi heard this question, his first reaction was to be overjoyed. He laughed on the other end of the phone for a long time. The laughter made Ken Kutaraki feel inexplicably and creepy!

"President Yamauchi, I have heard some stories about KTT and Nintendo back then, and there are many details I don't know, so I want to ask you..."

Before Ken Kutaraki's question was over, Yamauchi Hiroshi's answer came from the phone: "Don't ask me, just ask them directly! But you'd better keep your eyes open!"

The other party suddenly hung up the phone. Ken Kutaraki didn't react for a long time, and finally realized that what he was asking? Nintendo was the party who suffered a loss. He asked this to expose the other party's scars in person. Nintendo had no obligation to come.

Explained all this, he couldn't blame Hiro Yamauchi for hanging up the phone.

Ken Kutaraki could only arrange for the marketing department employees to contact KTT company in a tentative manner, but the other party politely rejected the suggestion.

The subordinates reported to him like this: "The other party has no plan to develop PC games into TV games for the time being, and it seems that they are not interested in TV games."

Ken Kutaragi shook his head: "Now, the PC version of the TV game is used, and the PC game is developed with multiple TV games and multiple platforms. This is the general trend. This should not be the real reason why they rejected us. Have you ever asked if it is because of Sega's Ss?"

The subordinate replied: "We asked. KTT did not agree to join forces with Longteng Company. Although they were once allies of Longteng. However, distinctive and NWC were studios that KTT snatched from Longteng and Ea, and they may have already

Turning against one another is a grudge!”

Kutaraki Ken frowned even deeper. Logically speaking, KTT poached, Longteng must be as furious as EA. However, instead of seeing KTT as a mortal enemy, Longteng increased in the Longteng game store and Volkswagen & Games scores

The high evaluation of these two PC games seems to be unable to see any meaning of mortal enemies.

Sony is Longteng's mortal enemy. Because there is no PS game that can enter the Volkswagen & Game Pass rating.

Although there are few PC games, they are not absolutely prohibited.

The difference in the treatment of the two is obvious.

In addition, there are many details during the negotiation process, and the subordinate added: "We arranged for the vice president of Sony's US branch to negotiate. The other party was very cold and just asked an ordinary vice president to receive it. And during the conversation, they

I have repeatedly stated that they are very busy, have insufficient staff, and have no time to discuss meaningless conversations. And I have doubted our sincerity… They said, I hope you will talk in person…”

Ken Kutaraki had no choice but to do anything. At this time, KTT was arrogant and wanted to ask the boss of Sony Computer Entertainment to go over and talk to him in person...

Halfway through, it was not Kutaraki Ken's personality, so he decided to fly to New York and personally transplanted KTT's two games!

"Help me connect with the external relations department of KTT and make an appointment for me to meet." Ken Kutaraki ordered his secretary. His itinerary log was very full recently.

"President! The other party has only time to get free tomorrow, otherwise they will have to wait ten days later. Their Brown Ceo will go to Europe the day after tomorrow to attend the Ferrari car dealer's new car launch conference!" the secretary replied.

Kutaraki Ken was depressed. A small PC game producer, is it really as busy as the president of the country? He flew from Tokyo to New York in one day? Could it be that Kutaraki Ken was an idle person, and he was at his life at any time? He was at least hundreds of people.

The president of the game company of the employee!

"Then it will be about ten days later!" Ken Kutaraki looked at the itinerary and was free in ten days.

There weren't ten days, only one day later, and a phone call from the KTT company's external relations department, President Brown's itinerary changed. He might stay in Europe for half a month. If President Ken Kutaraki was willing to take the fastest Japanese Airlines

, it was still time to meet President Brown in New York!

Ken Kutaraki was even more depressed. He said so earlier, he flew to New York yesterday! He only left one day for Sony every time, and then calculated the jet difference. Do you have to force Ken Kutaraki to get off the plane and negotiate after getting off the plane in a dizzy way?

Then half a month later, the secretary and the other party discussed the exact time and planned to meet on April 17.

But on April 4, when Ken Kutaraki was inspecting the Sony R&D center, KTT called because "Need for Speed" was a best-selling in Europe, and the scene was so hot. President Brown was attracted by many top luxury brands at the Ferrari new car launch conference.

The popularity of car companies, Bugatti Veyron, Maserati and other super luxury car companies are kindly invited by Brown to visit their companies, and the agreed time with Sony can only continue to be postponed...

Tolerate!

Ken Kutaraki returned to his office, broke a teacup, looked at the word "Nin" on the wall and the samurai sword that his grandfather gave him, trying to suppress his anger.

When has Sony been so ordered to be used by someone?

There are now hundreds of games signed on the Sony platform, and there are at least 50 game production companies that want to curry favor with Sony. There are countless people queuing up to ask Ken Kutaraki. He is always the one who gives orders, not begging others.

people!

But only here at KTT company, Ken Kutaraki found that he was helpless because KTT had no intention of asking for Sony. After a month and a half of the game was released, the cumulative sales of the two games had already exceeded 2 million, and it was still rising.

, go up to 3 million.

"Need for Speed" game and comics have caused a racing craze in Japan. At the invitation of the Primary School Pavilion, D-Japan FT Painting Club began to serialize "Need for Speed: Drift" in the Primary School Pavilion's "Youth Jump" comic magazine, which can satisfy non-games

Consumers’ comic needs can attract more people to buy games.

The emergence of the "Magic Gate: Invincible Heroes" game has made Japanese national RPG games "Dragon Quest" and "Final Fantasy", as well as the third-ranked "Legend of Heroes".

Especially the multi-directional development producers of PC games such as Pharaoh Control Company, began to fight price wars and advertising wars with Heroes to cover PC games. Kato Masayuki publicly made fierce remarks, indirectly pushing KTT

Get a high position and become an American game company with strength that is comparable to the most famous game company in Japan!

Ken Kutaraki saw it and was anxious. If he had signed KTT early, there would be a game on the PS platform that could barely compete with the three major Japanese RPGs. What else would he be afraid of?

"Since President Brown has been staying in Europe, then I'll go to Europe to find him! "Rider Racing" can also use the luxury car shape appropriately, and the Namco president is willing to ask for European sports car companies..." Ken Kutaraki told his secretary so much.

Decided to put down your figure and take the initiative.

Soon, the secretary confirmed Ken Kutaraki's itinerary. He really flew to Europe with the president of Namco, but happened to miss the press conference of the new Ferrari car. Ken Kutaraki was like a donkey, following Brown's footsteps in searching everywhere in Europe.

The phone was blocked and no one was found. Brown's next itinerary changed every day, dragging him to exhaustion.

On the verge of an upcoming outbreak, Ken Kutaraki finally had difficulty meeting Brown in Italy, which was already April 11.

Ken Kutaraki always regarded himself as Liu Bei. After meeting him, he said with a slight slight : "President Brown, you Zhuge Liang is really hard to see!"

Only in this way can Liu Bei's sincerity be reflected by visiting the cottage three times!

Unexpectedly, President Brown was also a Chinese expert. He smiled heartily: "I am far from comparable to Zhuge Liang. I know myself! President Kuotaraki, please sit down! Thank you for your hard work, come to Europe for a long journey to find me!"

Ken Kutaraki's face turned red, and Brown dared not compare himself to Zhuge Liang, so he had to add self-knowledge, but he was far from being able to compare himself to him. In his subconscious, he said that KTT's strength is outrageously poor and is not worth mentioning at all. And he

Sony is even less worthy of being Liu Bei?

The two met in the hotel, and the conversation environment seemed to be unofficial.

So Brown was wearing casual outfits, relaxed and happy, while Ken Kutaraki's formal attitude seemed extremely weird in this environment.

"President Brown, I wonder if KTT is interested in developing into the TV game industry?" Ken Kutaraki asked: "We believe that whether it is "Need for Speed" or "Magic Gate Invincible", they are very suitable for distribution on TV game platforms.

excellent work!"

Brown smiled: "Of course, different platforms can expand our business scope, why not?"

Ken Kutaraki didn't expect Brown to agree so readily, he asked tentatively: "So does KTT intend to release games on the PS platform?"

Brown pondered, touched his chin and said, "President Kutaraki, IMHO, PS is not as good as Sega's ss in terms of maturity and market share. For me, PS is not the best

Platform. You should also know that the adaptation of a platinum-selling game on TV games will definitely not make a decision easily.”

This Brown was too straightforward and didn't give Kuroki Ken any face.

Of course Ken Kutaraki would not retreat and asked with a smile: "I wonder if President Brown is willing to sign a game exclusive agreement with Sony? We Sony will provide the most complete development package and the greatest publicity guarantee, and we Sony are willing..."

An envelope passed on the desktop, Brown glanced at it with his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

This is a bonus fee! (To be continued...)
