UFiliphu Novotny Ngemva kweminyaka yokungabaza, kwenziwa isinqumo esibalulekile eKyoto, eJapane. UNintendo, ongomunye wabadlali abahamba phambili emkhakheni wemidlalo yevidiyo, uzongena okulinganiselwe emakethe yamaselula namathebulethi. I-DeNA, umthuthukisi ovelele waseJapane wezinkundla zemidlalo yezenhlalo, uzosiza inkampani endleleni eya empumelelweni emakethe yamaselula.
Leli gama, elingaziwa emazweni asentshonalanga, ligqame kakhulu ngaphakathi kwe-Japan ngolwazi olubanzi kumasevisi amageyimu aku-inthanethi. Ngokusho komphathi wayo uSatoru Iwata, uNintendo uzosebenzisa lolu lwazi futhi aluhlanganise namakhono akhe okuthuthuka. Umphumela kufanele ube inombolo yemidlalo emisha yasekuqaleni evela emhlabeni owaziwayo we-Nintendo, njengo-Mario, uZelda noma u-Pikmin.
Lesi sinyathelo siholela embonweni wokuthi uNintendo uthengise kuphela ilayisense yokuthuthukisa imidlalo ye-freemium elula engeke ifinyelele ikhwalithi ejwayelekile ngenxa yalokho. Kodwa-ke, inhloko yeNintendo yenqabile isimo esifanayo esithangamini nabezindaba eTokyo. "Besingeke senze lutho olungalimaza uhlobo lweNintendo," kusho u-Iwata. Ubuye wengeza ukuthi ukuthuthukiswa kwemidlalo yamadivayisi ahlakaniphile kuzokwenzeka ngokuyinhloko ngaphakathi kweNintendo.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, waqinisekisa abasebenzisi nabanikazi bamasheya ukuthi ukungena emakethe yeselula, okuyinto ngokwesibonelo sezimali ehluke kakhulu emhlabeni we-console, akusho ukuphela kweNintendo yamanje. “Manje njengoba sesinqume ukuthi sizozisebenzisa kanjani izinto ezihlakaniphile, sithole uthando nombono oqine nakakhulu webhizinisi lohlelo lwemidlalo yodwa,” kuchaza u-Iwata.
Isimemezelo sokubambisana ne-DeNA, ehlanganisa nokutholwa kwamasheya azo zombili izinkampani, silandelwe ukukhulunywa kwekhonsoli entsha ezinikele yomdlalo. Inegama lesikhashana elithi NX futhi ngokusho kukaSatoru Iwata kuzoba umqondo omusha ngokuphelele. Akazange abelane ngeminye imininingwane nomphakathi, kufanele sazi eminye imininingwane ngonyaka ozayo.
Kukhona ukuqagela okuvamile mayelana nokuxhumana okukhulu kwamakhonsoli asekhaya naphathwayo, futhi kungase kube nokuxhumana okuphelele kwalezi zinkundla. I-Nintendo njengamanje ithengisa ikhonsoli "enkulu" ye-Wii U kanye nomndeni we-3DS wamadivayisi aphathekayo.
UNintendo ufike izikhathi ezimbalwa emakethe nomkhiqizo ongakaze ubonwe okwazile ukushintsha indlela yonke ibhizinisi legeyimu yevidiyo. Ekuqaleni kwakuyikhonsoli yasekhaya ye-NES (1983), eyaletha indlela entsha yokudlala futhi yehla emlandweni njengesithonjana esingasoze salibaleka.
Unyaka ka-1989 waletha enye inkolo ngendlela ye-Game Boy ephathekayo ephathekayo. Naphezu kokubi, okufana ne-hardware ebuthakathaka noma isibonisi sekhwalithi ephansi, ikwazile ukucekela phansi yonke imincintiswano futhi yavula umnyango wekhonsoli entsha ye-Nintendo DS (2004). Ilethe umklamo "we-clamshell" kanye nezibonisi. Leli fomu lihlala kuze kube yilolu suku ngemva kwezibuyekezo eziningi ezibalulekile.
Emkhakheni wokududuza kwasekhaya, inkampani yaseJapane yenza kahle kancane iminyaka eminingana, futhi imikhiqizo efana neNintendo 64 (1996) noma i-GameCube (2001) ayikwazanga ukufinyelela inkazimulo yangaphambili ye-NES. Umncintiswano okhulayo ngendlela ye-Sony PlayStation (1994) ne-Microsoft Xbox (2001) ukwazile ukugqashuka ngo-2006 kuphela ngokufika kweNintendo Wii. Lokhu kwaletha indlela entsha yokulawula ukunyakaza, nayo eyamukelwa umncintiswano phakathi neminyaka embalwa.
Umlandeli osesimweni se-Wii U (2012) akakwazanga ukwakhela phezu kwempumelelo yomanduleli wayo, ngenxa, phakathi kwezinye izizathu, ukubulawa kwabantu. ukumaketha okubi. Ama-consoles aqhudelanayo namuhla anganikeza ukusebenza okufanayo ku-Wii U entsha futhi abe nokusebenza okuphezulu ngokungenakuqhathaniswa kanye nomtapo wezincwadi okhula ngokushesha wemidlalo.
U-Nintendo uphendule ngokukhulula imidlalo emisha ochungechungeni olwaziwayo - ngonyaka odlule, isibonelo, i-Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze noma i-Bayonetta 2. Nokho, kuyimfihlo evulekile ukuthi uma uMario efuna ukuze uthole okungenani isizukulwane semidlalo emibili yekhonsoli, abanakekeli bayo badinga ngempela ukuza nomqondo omusha oqinile wehadiwe ezayo.
UNintendo uphelelwa amandla. Akukho okumangazayo. Bake baphelelwa umoya okungenani iminyaka emihlanu. Cishe usewagwaza eceleni.. :-)
Esikhundleni sokwenza ikhonsoli efanele ye-High-end. Ngokuqondene ne-DS, ngiwuthande kakhulu umqondo wayo, kodwa idinga ukunakwa ngokombono wezobuchwepheshe, njengokusebenza (okuncane kangangokuthi imidlalo eminingi ayikwazi ngisho ukudlalwa kuNintendo), imibukiso enesinqumo esibi, imibala esabekayo futhi uthinte ama-touchpads nawo awaningi, ukucutshungulwa kwawo angathuthela ezingeni lika-2015 futhi enze umzimba ube mncane futhi ube lula, ulungise ama-joystick nge-ergonomically, wenze i-stylus entsha ephendula ingcindezi, njll. kuyathakazelisa imidlalo futhi kusebenze kabusha i-UI edidekile. Ngokuqondene nobuchwepheshe obusha, kungajabulisa ukusebenzisa into efana ne-Taptic engine noma Force touch for joystick nesikrini sokuthinta. Angiwathandi ngempela amafulethi amakhulu asesimweni se-2DS noma ithebhulethi yawo yokudlala futhi anginaso isiqiniseko sokuthi angakwazi yini ukuthola ama-consoles amakhulu lapho iMicrosoft ne-Sony ziqhelelene ngamamayela ngayo yonke indlela... Ukufinyelela kweselula kuwumnyakazo othokozisayo noma kunjalo.
Uzongishaya kakhulu lapha, kodwa ngemva kweminyaka emine yokuzama ize ukusebenzisa i-iPad esikhundleni sekhonsoli yemidlalo, ngibuyele ku-3DS. Izinkinobho zomzimba kanye nemidlalo egcwele (!!) ayishintshi lutho futhi, ngokuxakayo, ngenxa yalokhu ngizimisele ukwamukela ihluzo ezimbi kakhulu, intengo ephakeme yomdlalo ngokwawo kanye nesinqumo esiphansi sokubonisa. Kukhona cishe imidlalo eyishumi nambili emihle ongayichitha isikhathi eside udlala ku-iOS, okunye ukukopisha kwe-freemium kwemikhiqizo edumile nemidlalo ehlukahlukene elula eyadalwa njengamademo emiqhudelwaneni yezinhlelo ebusheni bethu. Lapho i-iPad iphuma, ngangibheke ngabomvu ukuthi isikrini sokuthinta sizovumela imidlalo yamasu ekhwalithi, kodwa kune-RTS emithathu kuphela ehloniphekile yalokho (Imishini Empini 3, Eufloria, Z) ezigidini zezinhlelo zokusebenza (!! ). Okunye okunye ukuhlukahluka kwezinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amahlanu ku-Clash of Clans kanye ne-Tower Defender, okunye kwakho, okufana no-Dungeon Keeper, kuwubugebengu ngempela. Njengendawo yokudlala, i-iOS (ne-Android) yangidumaza ngempela, futhi ama-consoles emidlalo azinikele akakasho izwi lokugcina ngokubona kwami:-(
