  • 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.

That company is Nintendo. From its beginning, Nintendo was not a video gaming company. Since the company’s first launch of the Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES, to the present day of the latest release of the Nintendo Switch from 2017, they have sold over 5 billion video games and over 779 million hardware units globally, according to Nintendo UK (Nintendo UK). As Nintendo continues to release new video games and consoles, they have become one of the top gaming companies, competing alongside Sony and Microsoft.

    Super Mario Brothers George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering ME 2110 - Creative Decisions and Design Time: 5:00pm, Friday, April 4, 2014 MaRC Building Atrium (Hopefully) I. INTRODUCTION Super Mario Brothers is the most successful video game series ever. Mario has appeared in over 200 video games. A major problem with video games is that they are almost entirely devoid of physical motion and forces. Due to lack of interaction with the real world, long-term vidiots tend to suffer from muscular atrophy, mental illness, and bad hygiene. These effects will greatly increase the taxes that you pay for the health care of these unfortunates as they become more and more decrepit. In order to address the need to reintroduce these lost souls into human society and improve their health, we will develop a physical version of Super Mario Brothers. Your design task is to design a machine to play in a Super Mario Brothers game along with 3 other machines. Your machine will be Gold! Starting tested in the arcade shown by the overhead Coins Area Home ! view in Figure 1. Each machine will be as- signed one of the 4 starting areas. The space Princess!

  • STS145--The History of Video Game Design
    STS145--The History of Video Game Design | Mario Bros Review | STS145 Home | Christopher Boyd Montgomery [email protected] http://www.stanford.edu/~cmonty/sts145/mariotitle.html (1 of 2) [2/23/2001 3:32:05 PM] STS145--The History of Video Game Design Last Updated 2/16/01 http://www.stanford.edu/~cmonty/sts145/mariotitle.html (2 of 2) [2/23/2001 3:32:05 PM] STS145--The History of Video Game Design Introduction Successful companies all have one thing in common- a widely known brand. The video game industry is no different in this respect from any other. Nintendo found a big name brand in a little Italian hero Mario, and his brother Luigi. These two characters starred in the little known Mario Brothers before Super Mario Brothers took the world by storm. Since then there have been countless sequels to the original hit on the Nintendo Entertainment System (8-bit), Super Nintendo (16-bit), and Nintendo 64 (64-bit). While the sequels have introduced new characters and new worlds, the original Super Mario Brothers still remains a classic. Super Mario Brothers is by far the best-known console video game of all time. It has captured the attention of millions worldwide and single handedly turned Nintendo into a household name.
