TOKU Announces New Premieres, Including the Popular Miniseries World War Blue. West Palm Beach, FL – February 6, 2017 – TOKU, the only 24/7 live and on demand television network dedicated to eye-catching anime, popular live-action titles and cult classics from Asia dubbed into English, announces the network premiere of the highly anticipated miniseries World War Blue on Monday, February 6, 2017 at 9 p.m. EST. During the course of the month, every Monday at 9 p.m. EST, TOKU will feature World War Blue, a riveting miniseries that takes place in the middle of an epic war between the Kingdom of Segua and the Ninteldo Empire, two powerful realms battling for dominance over the land of Consume. After years of conflict, the Kingdom of Segua is on the verge of an imminent defeat, fortunately for the army of Segua, the sudden appearance of a young warrior named Gear puts them back on the battlefield. Based on a manga called Aoi Sekai no Chūshin de, World War Blue pays tribute to one of the most recurrent debates in the world of the gaming and anime, the console wars. All the characters are based on popular Nintendo and Sega games, such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, among others. “Video games are responsible for some of the most memorable characters ever created, which is why so many movies and series are based on popular console games,” said Jesus Piñango, Director of TV Content Strategy at Olympusat. “At Olympusat we take great pride in supporting multicultural content, which is why we are investing in more high-quality programming that showcases different cultures and filmmaking techniques.” In addition to World War Blue, every Saturday at 10 p.m. EST, TOKU will premiere one striking Asian movie.

Classic Nintendo Games Are (Computationally) Hard
Classic Nintendo Games are (Computationally) Hard Greg Aloupis∗ Erik D. Demainey Alan Guoyz Giovanni Vigliettax February 10, 2015 Abstract We prove NP-hardness results for five of Nintendo's largest video game franchises: Mario, Donkey Kong, Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and Pokémon.Our results apply to generalized versions of Super Mario Bros. 1{3, The Lost Levels, and Super Mario World; Donkey Kong Country 1{3; all Legend of Zelda games; all Metroid games; and all Pokémonrole-playing games. In addition, we prove PSPACE-completeness of the Donkey Kong Country games and several Legend of Zelda games. 1 Introduction A series of recent papers have analyzed the computational complexity of playing many different video games [1, 4, 5, 6], but the most well-known classic Nintendo games have yet to be included among these results. In this paper, we analyze some of the best-known Nintendo games of all time: Mario, Donkey Kong, Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and Pokémon.We prove that it is NP-hard, and in some cases PSPACE-hard, to play generalized versions of most games in these series. In particular, our NP-hardness results apply to the NES games Super Mario Bros. 1{3, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, and Super Mario World (developed by Nintendo); to the SNES games Donkey Kong Country 1{3 (developed by Rare Ltd.); to all Legend of Zelda games (developed by Nintendo);1 to all Metroid games (developed by Nintendo); and to all Pokémonrole-playing games (developed by Game Freak and Creatures Inc.).2 Our PSPACE-hardness results apply to to the SNES games Donkey Kong Country 1{3, and to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
