A hilarious chat record is circulating in major game groups and forums today.
said that in a group chat called "XX Game Industry Group", someone posted a photo of a book page. According to the book, the author believes that online games are a world for the strong, built on the misfortune of the weakest. What he wants to create is a world where there is no bullying of the weak and where parents can feel at ease.
After reading it, a Kuaishou employee said that there was something wrong with the writing;
Then, an employee of Huanmeng Company said that this must be written by someone who has never played any games.
So, the person who distributed the book page took a picture of the cover. It turned out that the book was "Mr. Iwata", a biography compiled from the quotes of the late president of Nintendo " Satoru Iwata" during his lifetime.
The person who said "create a world for the weak" was Satoru Iwata himself.
Satoru Iwata
Because this picture is too typical to satisfy the stereotype of "the arrogant and streamlined domestic online game company" , and intuitively makes the fake understanding buddies eat up , making the Q version of Satoru Iwata on the book cover The villain seemed to be laughing at the two employees.
Wait, even if this thing is very typical and very real, we still have to say, As we all know, chat records do not completely represent the real situation. However, the original blogger did provide "follow-up development". Here we will base it on the fact that the original blogger did not tell lies.
Someone on the Internet said that although Satoru Iwata is the president of Nintendo, Pony Ma is still the CEO of Tencent . Do high-level executives of game companies necessarily understand games?
This kind of statement obviously does not know the relevant history of Nintendo, so let’s do some simple science.
Satoru Iwata is the fourth president of Nintendo. He graduated in 1982 and became an programmer . In 1993, he served as the president of the HAl Research Institute. At that time, HAL was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management and a debt of 1.5 billion. Iwata was ordered to have long talks with every employee. Later, with the help of "Star Card" "Bi" played a turnaround on GB.
In 2000, he entered Nintendo headquarters and became president in 2002. During his tenure, Nintendo launched the dual-screen game console DS and somatosensory game console Wii; he also participated in "Earth Adventure", " All-Stars Super Smash Bros. ", "Mario Series", "Zelda Series", " Animal Crossing" " and other game development; founded the "Nintendo Direct Meeting" format to release games and interact with fans.
In 2015, Satoru Iwata unfortunately passed away due to bile duct cancer. After that, , Nintendo Switch, and Pokémon mobile games gave Nintendo a double harvest of business and player reputation. It can be said that the development of Nintendo to this day is inseparable from the hard work of Mr. Satoru Iwata.
In the early version of Switch, players could enter the hidden game "Golf" built into ns through special gestures. This was the first game made by Satoru Iwata during his tenure at Nintendo.
allows the game to retain its "fun" side, instead of being a "daily check-in machine" or a "ladder competition simulator". Shou Tanji has to give him a big thumbs up for this.
His famous speech "On my business card, my title is company president; in my mind, I am a game developer; but in my heart, I have always been a gamer." is regarded by many players as classic.
Going back to the passage in this book, Satoru Iwata’s statement is quite in line with players’ perception of Nintendo’s concept of making games. Nowadays, when peers are competing for financial resources, Nintendo can find a new way to have its own living space, which has something to do with this concept.
There are also those who are not satisfied with this rhetoric.Some people say, "Wouldn't a PVP game with different strengths and weaknesses be fun?" "Does your Nintendo's game concept have to be right?" "In China, are there the game development conditions he mentioned?"
has the same statement. There is a certain truth. Even not only in China but globally, Nintendo's development environment is probably beyond the reach of some game practitioners. However, this kind of ideal for games is regarded as a "sick" idea, which seems to be Somewhat sad.
This afternoon, the original blogger posted another "Additional thoughts from Kuaishou classmates". The Kuaishou employee said... Well, Shou Tan can't fully understand what he wants to express. It seems to be: "Virtual utopia will make people addicted, So there shouldn't be such a thing. "Because fairy tales are lies, so there shouldn't be fairy tales?"
As for Huanmeng, Ji will not comment much. After all, we don’t know the background of this chat, maybe it’s just for flattery.
can only say that in most cases, in terms of gameplay alone, it may be difficult for many mobile game companies to beat Nintendo, but they must learn from it. So, let’s be a little more humble.
