Hiroshi Yamauchi suppressed his anger. At this critical juncture in the competition for the FC, if he were to push the six manufacturers to the other side, Nintendo would definitely suffer a heavy blow.
"You all go back first. Let me think about this!"
Hiroshi Yamauchi drove the six manufacturers back, but he did not agree to their demands. If the platform could also play games from the six manufacturers, the FC would lose a great advantage.
Hiroshi Yamauchi immediately sent people to divide and win over the six manufacturers, promising them benefits.
In short, we cannot allow these six manufacturers to side with the platform.
...
"Boss, a week has passed, and the six manufacturers who initially agreed to cooperate have not made any moves. Could something have gone wrong?" Liu Yinyin frowned.
Zhao Ye smiled faintly and said casually, "It seems that Nintendo offered better terms, so they don't plan to cooperate with us anymore! Once the internal structure collapses, it's impossible to unite. No single manufacturer or two has the courage to challenge Nintendo's authority. But it doesn't matter. Even without their participation, Wujiang Games will still sell very well! Everything will proceed as planned. December 1st is the day we enter the American game market."
"yes!"
...
Starting in November, major American television networks began airing animated series such as Pokémon, Dragon Quest, The Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy to generate buzz for the games.
Wujiang Group also held a grand dealer conference in the United States to open up sales channels.
With Wujiang Games becoming a huge hit in Japan, American distributors are eager for Wujiang Group to enter the US market as soon as possible so they can make money.
At the invitation of Wujiang Group, hundreds of distributors from across the United States gathered together, including Walmart, Sears department store, Kmart (the pioneer of modern supermarket retail), Target, and many others...
It can be said that everyone participated in this grand event!
Japan is too unconventional. Many American semiconductor, home appliance, and automobile companies have been crippled or destroyed by Japanese companies. No wonder the United States came up with the Plaza Accord to bring down Japan.
To some extent, the rise of Nintendo's Famicom accelerated the demise of Atari.
Now, a Chinese company has emerged that can challenge Nintendo, much to the delight of Americans. Moreover, the potential profits from distributorships are considerable—who wouldn't be tempted?
On the one hand, in order to suppress Japan, and on the other hand, for the sake of money, many retail giants across the United States want to become agents for Wujiang Games.
...
Across the ocean, large ships carrying game consoles and game cartridges departed from Shanghai, bound for the United States.
In an attempt to counter this, Nintendo plans to release a new game on December 1st.
However, Nintendo has not yet developed a game graphics enhancement chip, MMC.
The so-called new games are mostly Super Mario 2 and several new games from six different developers.
Perhaps Zhao Ye stole Nintendo's luck; ever since he plagiarized Nintendo's games, Nintendo has failed to develop any new blockbuster titles...
...
In the days leading up to its IPO, Wujiang Group launched a massive advertising campaign, spending $20 million on television, radio, newspapers, buses, outdoor advertising, and more.
The advertising blitz was so intense it rivaled the promotion of a Hollywood blockbuster.
Americans are wealthy, so the price in the US is higher than in Japan, retailing for $199. Game cartridges range from $25 to $30.
...
December 1st marked the landing in the United States.
The product was snapped up by players across the United States as soon as it hit the market.
In fact, games like Pokémon have already caused a sensation and sparked heated discussions among American players.
Many Americans even have people buy game consoles for them in Japan.
According to incomplete statistics, at least 100,000 units are circulating in a limited manner in the United States.
...
"Jim, Nintendo released a new game for the FC platform today! We need to hurry up and line up to buy it!"
Cole Brown Jr. excitedly told his companion.
Jim shook his head.
“No, there aren’t any good games on the FC platform. I’m going to buy some. Today is also the day we launch in the US market!” Jim said.
"Are the games on this even more fun than FC games?" Cole Brown asked in bewilderment.
Jim nodded, his face filled with reminiscence, and said, "Yes, that's right. I went to my cousin's place a few days ago, and he brought one back from Japan. This console has a fighting game called Street Fighter, and my cousin and I played it all night! This game is so amazing, I absolutely love it, it's better than any game I've ever played on the Famicom! So, I'm determined to buy it today, along with the accompanying game cartridge—Street Fighter!!!"
"Is this game really that fun???" Cole Brown had never seen it before and was quite skeptical.
"Of course, whoever lies is a dog! Oh, by the way, the anime you like, Pokémon, is also one of the games on this platform!"
“Oh my God! Is this for real??” Cole Brown Jr. asked excitedly.
Jim nodded very confidently: "Among the dozen or so game cartridges my cousin bought, there was one called 'Pokémon,' and the cover even featured Pikachu!"
“Jim, what are we waiting for? Let’s go buy it right away!!!” Little guest Brown urged.
"Okay, let's go now!"
...
On this day, Nintendo announced the launch of several new games at low prices in an attempt to attract consumers.
