Nintendo knocks down other companies' hardware one by one, and the movie "game machine war" drawn in war-like style of game hard fighting history

Sony's PlayStation, Microsoft's Xbox, Nintendo's Wii and others continue to play game hard hegemony, but the movie "game machine war" that depicts the history of game machines from the night before the introduction of Nintendo in war-style It is open to the public.

Of course, NES launched in 1983, the first stationary game machine in Japan"TV tennis"From the United States to the black ship"Atari" series, Tommy Industries (now Takara Tomy) 'Puyuta' are covered and the history of the fight is depicted comically until next generation machines such as 'PC engine' and 'mega drive' appear .

Details about "game machine war" are as follows.Game machine war - Nico Nico video (Harajuku)


The first game machine to appear is Japan's first stationary game machine "TV tennis". In 1975EpochIt was released from.


It was a game of impression closer to hockey rather than tennis, there was a drawback that it would not be a game without two people.


In order to combat this television tennis, Nintendo will start developing the video game machine.


At this time it appeared not NES,"Video game 15"It is hard.


For TV tennis, which only played tennis, 15 kinds of games became available to play, we will attack TV tennis as weapons.


By this, television tennis is sunk by the beginning.


Nintendo dominates and Japan's pressure control is started.


Epoch, who was furious with this, introduced new weapons to the front.


New Hard"Cassette vision"Implement cassette exchange method as the name suggests.


At this point there were no controllers, no CPU on the main unit, but for Nintendo's video game 15 it was an aircraft with sufficient competence.


At that time it was a revolutionary cartridge exchange type, destroying video game 15.



Then Tommy (now Takara Tomy) developed it"Pyuta"Participation.


It has a CPU mounted on the main unit and also has G-BASIC, and it also competes with cassette vision with a configuration closer to a PC rather than a gaming machine, that it can hit programs.


However, from the overwhelming high price of 59,800 yen, we can not defeat the cassette vision, but it will be counterattacked.


Tommy lost to Epoch because it was halfway performance even with a high price and PC.


Takara also developed game machines as well as Tommy's enemy."M5"I will participate in the game.


This is also equipped with BASIC - I, it is close to a PC, but against Puyuta 's 59,800 yen this has successfully lowered the price by 49,800 yen and 10,000 yen.


However, since even 48,800 yen is high enough, M5 is also Pyota 's dance.


The battle situation develops favorably by Epoch.


Among them, BANDAI was fried the next time. A new weapon"Arcadia"I will introduce.


Declaring war on war against Epoch with weapons of good character.


Although cassette vision can somehow defend, it seems that the limits are getting closer.


An emergency occurs there. The popular overseas "Atari" series finally comes to Japan. A hard market to raise tension in the landing of the world's strongest game machine.


However, depending on the price etc., I did not hit in Japan any more.


Furthermore, hard to make game market tense appears. Bandai adopted a vector scan method and attached a 9 inch monitor"Light Speed ​​Ship"Will be released.


This is also setback at the speed of light.


The epoch company is somewhat dominant, and the company that develops game machines continues to stand in a state of muddy.


In the meantime, finally the legendary hardware appeared.


Nice to meet you Nintendo"Family Computer"Will be released.


Easy-to-use four-way controller with 8-bit CPU, price was limited to 14,800 yen, measures taken to prevent scratching of kusoge by soft check before release by Nintendo, it was just a perfect gun-dam airframe It was.


Behind such a historic hard appearance, unfortunately it will debut Sega's game machine"SG-1000"However, it was released on the same day as Nintendo.


With an 8-bit CPU, the software is also a fleet of fulfilling lineups that it was then a challenge for NES to bravely.


But Negro receives a counterattack by NESCON, it is sorely sunk.



It is a high-end model of "SG-1000" equipped with a program function as well as "Jean Jean!""SC-3000"It attacks NES.



However, it can not compete against Nintendo, it is sinking.



Nintendo's offensive continues with the overwhelming power of Nintendo. Epoch's cassette vision is sunk.


Tommy's Pyuta also shot down.


Bandai Arcadia also destroyed.


Light speed boat also sinked.


The Atari series also withdrew in 1983 following the appearance of Nintendo.


Nintendo monopolized the market.


But other makers are not silent. Tommy launched a new hard to start the counterattack.


Its name is "Puyuta Jr".


Puyuta 's terrible pricing setting of 58,800 yen is dropped considerably to 19,800 yen, and it starts to overthrow Nintendo.





However, it is already late, and it will get back before the overwhelming momentum of Famicom.


Next time, Epoch company of the first champion launched "Cassette vision Jr" successor of cassette vision.


The price is unquestionably 5000 yen.


I will challenge the battle with the ambition to take care with Nintendo.





However, you can not recapture the share from Nintendo, Cassette Vision Jr will be defeated in front of Nintendo.


In this way, Famicom as the strongest hardest can not compete even though the first champer challenges with the price setting of 5000 yen will establish its position.


"Second game machine war" began from Nemecon's hegemony establishment. As Nintendo's strong force continues, software focuses on Nintendo, increasingly Nintendo will become stronger, various hards are sent out to the world.


Bandai came killer content in its name"RX-78 GUNDAM"Released. However, at an expensive price setting of 59,800 yen, it was not able to compete with NESCON and it was a disastrous defeat.


Although Gakken challenges with cheap pricing as hard as 8800 yen hard, for the versatility of the NES controller, too innovative main body direct control type controller can not become mainstream and lost.


From the Nichebuts further"My vision".


From CASIO"PV-1000".


From Tsukuda originalAlthough it will be released one after another, none of them will disappear as it will not shake the Famicom stronghold.


Among them, Sega"Sega · Mark III"Released.


A lot of machines did not compete with Nintendo until now because those machines did not have an easy-to-use cross key.


SEGA · Mark III has a controller closer to NESCON, and it has a performance that goes beyond the NESC that is simultaneous display of 64 colors.


The main gun of Sega · Mark III made to fight against Nintendo just blows fire.


Hitting Nintendo.


Although it was not possible to destroy Nintendo, it flickered off the cover of the cassette extractor lever.


But Sega's misfortune will continue. Legendary masterpiece at this timing"Super mario bros"There is an unprecedented big hit.


Nintendo with Mario started counterattack.


Sega · Mark III is in danger of serious injury, and it is remembered that only the performance of hard is not to control the hard war.


In this way the second game machine war ended while Famicom grasped hegemony.


In the subsequent third game console war, Nintendo"Disk system"Developed. Moreover, we will put an offense to secure the hegemonic of NESCON.


But the next enemy boasts overwhelming performance NEC's"PC engine".



And Sega's next generation aircraft"Mega Drive"Appeared.


In the end, Nintendo, Sega, NEC's game aircraft three countries began.


It seems that the game machine war is still drafting at present, and what I reported this time is"Third game machine war"It is contents up to the opening stage of. It is expected that Super Nintendo will appear at the end of the third and so on, and it is becoming an expansion which is becoming more and more anxious.
