  • The Evolving Heroine in Nintendo Adventure Games
    The Princess and the Platformer: The Evolving Heroine in Nintendo Adventure Games Katharine Phelps Humanities 497W December 15, 2007 Just remember that my being a woman doesn't make me any less important! --Faris Final Fantasy V 1 The Princess and the Platformer: The Evolving Heroine in Nintendo Adventure Games Female characters, even as a token love interest, have been a mainstay in adventure games ever since Nintendo became a household name. One of the oldest and most famous is the princess of the Super Mario games, whose only role is to be kidnapped and rescued again and again, ad infinitum. Such a character is hardly emblematic of feminism and female empowerment. Yet much has changed in video games since the early 1980s, when Mario was born. Have female characters, too, changed fundamentally? How much has feminism and changing ideas of women in Japan and the US impacted their portrayal in console games? To address these questions, I will discuss three popular female characters in Nintendo adventure game series. By examining the changes in portrayal of these characters through time and new incarnations, I hope to find a kind of evolution of treatment of women and their gender roles. With such a small sample of games, this study cannot be considered definitive of adventure gaming as a whole. But by selecting several long-lasting, iconic female figures, it becomes possible to show a pertinent and specific example of how some of the ideas of women in this medium have changed over time. A premise of this paper is the idea that focusing on characters that are all created within one company can show a clearer line of evolution in the portrayal of the characters, as each heroine had her starting point in the same basic place—within Nintendo.

  • Towards Accessibility of Games: Mechanical Experience, Competence Profiles and Jutsus
    Towards Accessibility of Games: Mechanical Experience, Competence Profiles and Jutsus. Abstract Accessibility of games is a multi-faceted problem, one of which is providing mechanically achievable gameplay to players. Previous work focused on adapting games to the individual through either dynamic difficulty adjustment or providing difficulty modes; thus focusing on their failure to meet a designed task. Instead, we look at it as a design issue; designers need to analyse the challenges they craft to understand why gameplay may be inaccessible to certain audiences. The issue is difficult to even discuss properly, whether by designers, academics or critics, as there is currently no comprehensive framework for that. That is our first contribution. We also propose challenge jutsus – structured representations of challenge descriptions (via competency profiles) and player models. This is a first step towards accessibility issues by better understanding the mechanical profile of various game challenges and what is the source of difficulty for different demographics of players. 1.0 Introduction Different Types of Experience When discussing, critiquing, and designing games, we are often concerned with the “player experience” – but what this means is unsettled as games are meant to be consumed and enjoyed in various ways. Players can experience games mechanically (through gameplay actions), aesthetically (through the visual and audio design), emotionally (through the narrative and characters), socially (through the communities of players), and culturally (through a combination of cultural interpretations and interactions). Each aspect corresponds to different ways that the player engages with the game. We can map the different forms of experience to the Eight Types of Fun (Hunicke, LeBlanc, & Zubek, 2004) (Table 1).

  • Female Fighters
    Press Start Female Fighters Female Fighters: Perceptions of Femininity in the Super Smash Bros. Community John Adams High Point University, USA Abstract This study takes on a qualitative analysis of the online forum, SmashBoards, to examine the way gender is perceived and acted upon in the community surrounding the Super Smash Bros. series. A total of 284 comments on the forum were analyzed using the concepts of gender performativity and symbolic interactionism to determine the perceptions of femininity, reactions to female players, and the understanding of masculinity within the community. Ultimately, although hypermasculine performances were present, a focus on the technical aspects of the game tended to take priority over any understanding of gender, resulting in a generally ambiguous approach to femininity. Keywords Nintendo; Super Smash Bros; gender performativity; symbolic interactionism; sexualization; hypermasculinity Press Start Volume 3 | Issue 1 | 2016 ISSN: 2055-8198 URL: http://press-start.gla.ac.uk Press Start is an open access student journal that publishes the best undergraduate and postgraduate research, essays and dissertations from across the multidisciplinary subject of game studies. Press Start is published by HATII at the University of Glasgow. Adams Female Fighters Introduction Examinations of gender in mainstream gaming circles typically follow communities surrounding hypermasculine games, in which members harass those who do not conform to hegemonic gender norms (Consalvo, 2012; Gray, 2011; Pulos, 2011), but do not tend to reach communities surrounding other types of games, wherein their less hypermasculine nature shapes the community. The Super Smash Bros. franchise stands as an example of this less examined type of game community, with considerably more representation of women and a colorful, simplified, and gore-free style.
