  • From Girlfriend to Gamer: Negotiating Place in the Hardcore/Casual Divide of Online Video Game Communities
    FROM GIRLFRIEND TO GAMER: NEGOTIATING PLACE IN THE HARDCORE/CASUAL DIVIDE OF ONLINE VIDEO GAME COMMUNITIES Erica Kubik A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2010 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Amy Robinson Graduate Faculty Representative Kristine Blair Donald McQuarie ii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor The stereotypical video gamer has traditionally been seen as a young, white, male; even though female gamers have also always been part of video game cultures. Recent changes in the landscape of video games, especially game marketers’ increasing interest in expanding the market, have made the subject of women in gaming more noticeable than ever. This dissertation asked how gender, especially females as a troubling demographic marking difference, shaped video game cultures in the recent past. This dissertation focused primarily on cultures found on the Internet as they related to video game consoles as they took shape during the beginning of the seventh generation of consoles, between 2005 and 2009. Using discourse analysis, this dissertation analyzed the ways gendered speech was used by cultural members to define not only the limits and values of a generalizable video game culture, but also to define the idealized gamer. This dissertation found that video game cultures exhibited the same biases against women that many other cyber/digital cultures employed, as evidenced by feminist scholars of technology. Specifically, female gamers were often perceived as less authoritative of technology than male gamers. This was especially true when the concept “hardcore” was employed to describe the ideals of gaming culture.

  • Playgrounds for the Digital Age: Super Mario 64 and the Emerging Identity of Videogames As an Immersive Medium
    Playgrounds for the Digital Age: Super Mario 64 and the Emerging Identity of Videogames as an Immersive Medium Douglas Wilson 3-18-03 STS 145 Playgrounds for the Digital Age: Super Mario 64 and the Emerging Identity of Videogames as an Immersive Medium1 “I think great video games are like favorite playgrounds, places you become attached to and go back to again and again. Wouldn’t it be great to have a whole drawer full of ‘playgrounds’ right at your finger tips?” - Shigeru Miyamoto, Creator of Mario, 19912 Back in 1991, Shigeru Miyamoto’s proclaimed view of videogames as playgrounds probably struck most gamers – and even many game designers – as odd. Indeed, even the most popular titles of the time, such as Super Mario Brothers 3 and The Legend of Zelda were somewhat shallow in both their depth of interaction and richness of experience. Games of the time were largely physical and mental contests against the computer, against time, against the other player. But as gamers and designers have since learned, it is seldom prudent to ignore Miyamoto, the father of such blockbuster dynasties such as Super Mario Brothers, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Star Fox, and Super Mario Kart. And surely enough, Miyamoto’s vision has not only become reality, but a new paradigm in videogame design. Anyone who has played such modern megahits as Tomb Raider, Zelda 64: The Ocarina of Time, and Grand Theft Auto 3 can finally appreciate the idea of videogames as “playgrounds.” Namely, videogame worlds are increasingly fun to simply explore, interact with, and exist within.

  • Designing Gameplay Researching and Testing Nintendo’S Game Design
    Designing Gameplay Researching and testing Nintendo’s game design Malin Ribäck Arcada Biblioteket och Språkenheten Helsingfors 2019 EXAMENSARBETE Arcada Utbildningsprogram: Mediekultur Identifikationsnummer: 6847 Författare: Malin Ribäck Arbetets namn: Gameplays design – Undersökning och test av Nintendos speldesign Handledare (Arcada): Mirko Ahonen Uppdragsgivare: Sammandrag: Studien gick ut på att utforska hur spelföretaget Nintendo designar gameplay. För att testa resultaten i praktiken skapades ett game design-dokument. Därför börjar arbetet med att diskutera vad game design-dokument är och vad de används för. Game design-dokumentet som gjordes i samband med studien är en kombination av det huvudsakliga game design- dokumentet och ett konceptdokument. Därför tar arbetet också upp skillnaderna mellan dessa dokument. För att utreda hur Nintendo designar gameplay utfördes en litteraturundersökning. Materialet som användes i litteraturundersökningen består av intervjuer. Majoriteten av intervjuerna härstammar från Nintendos egen hemsida. För att utforma en teori tar arbetet upp några befintliga teorier för hur Nintendo designar sina spel. För att kunna diskutera Nintendos gameplay definieras gameplays koncept genom att diskutera olika definitioner av olika författare som tar upp ämnet i fråga. Litteraturundersökningen inleds med en presentation av varifrån materialet för studien har kommit. Inledningsvis tar också arbetet upp två viktiga spelutvecklare från Nintendo, för att ge insikt i varför just de personerna är viktiga. För att presentera en helhet över hur Nintendo designar gameplay studeras, organiseras, presenteras och diskuteras innehållet från litteraturundersökningen. Resultatet från undersökningen visar bland annat att när Nintendo designar sina spel, fokuserar man på följande saker: Att göra spelen användarvänliga, att formge dem enligt deras funktion, att göra spelvärlden responsiv i förhållande till spelaren och att undvika störa eller avbryta spelarens inlevelse i spelet.

  • Super Mario 64 Was Proclaimed by Many As "The Greatest Video Game
    The People Behind Mario: When Hiroshi Yamauchi, president of Nintendo Co., Ltd. (NCL), hired a young art student as an apprentice in 1980, he had no idea that he was changing video games forever. That young apprentice was none other than the highly revered Shigeru Miyamoto, the man behind Mario. Miyamoto provided the inspiration for each Mario game Nintendo produces, as he still does today, with the trite exception of the unrelated “Mario-based” games produced by other companies. Just between the years 1985 and 1991, Miyamoto produced eight Mario games that went on to collectively sell 70 million copies. By record industry standards, Miyamoto had gone 70 times platinum in a brief six years. When the Nintendo chairman Gunpei Yokoi was assigned to oversee Miyamoto when he was first hired, Yokoi complained that “he knows nothing about video games” (Game Over 106). It turned out that the young apprentice knew more about video games than Yokoi, or anyone else in the world, ever could. Miyamoto’s Nintendo group, “R&D4,” had the assignment to come up with “the most imaginative video games ever” (Game Over 49), and they did just that. No one disagrees when they hear that "Shigeru is to video gaming what John Lennon is to Music!" (www.nintendoland.com) As soon as Miyamoto and Mario entered the scene, America, Japan, and the rest of the world had become totally engrossed in “Mario Mania.” Before delving deeply into the character that made Nintendo a success, we must first take a look at Nintendo, and its leader, Hiroshi Yamauchi.
