  • 240 CASE STUDY of NINTENDO AS TRADITIONAL COMPANY in JAPAN KHAIRI MOHAMED OMAR Applied Science University, Bahrain ABSTRACT
    Qualitative and Quantitative Research Review, Vol 3, Issue 1, 2018 ISSN No: 2462-1978 eISSNNo: 2462-2117 CASE STUDY OF NINTENDO AS TRADITIONAL COMPANY IN JAPAN KHAIRI MOHAMED OMAR Applied science University, Bahrain ABSTRACT Each nation has own corporate issues that relates to nation’s corporate style. According to research by OECD, Mexico is the highest rate of average working hours annually in the world (“Hour worked,” 2017). It is 2,255 hours per worker in annual. Since hour in a year is 8,760, people in Mexico are working about a fourth part of a year. Assuming that workers do not need to work on weekend, then hours in a year that workers need work should be around 6,240 hours that it flexibly changes by the year. People in Mexico are working at least 8 hours daily. Claire (2015) stated that long working hours will lead to inadequate sleeping hours, and it causes insufficient working performance in research. For Japan, Japanese corporate management is sometimes argued as an issue. For example, workers in Japan increase their salary based on their seniority. It is not sometimes considered their actual ability, instead of that; company more considers their career and experience. This kind of Japanese traditional working system more tends to be applied by old company in Japan. Since Nintendo has an old history, these management implications are more applicable. Therefore, this case will be about Japanese-traditional-style management strategy of Nintendo. NINTENDO BACKGROUND Nintendo is one of the market leaders in a gaming industry. In particular, it is known as gaming hardware manufacturing corporation.

  • 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.

  • A Whole Different Ball Game: Playing Through 60 Years of Sports Video Games
    EXHIBITION OVERVIEW A Whole Different Ball Game: Playing through 60 Years of Sports Video Games Exhibition dates: September 14, 2018–March 10, 2019 Location: Museum of the Moving Image, 36-01 35 Ave, Astoria (Queens), NY 11106 Summary: Ever since the first video game, Tennis for Two, debuted at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s public exhibition in 1958, video games have sought to recreate, adapt, and build upon the games Americans most regularly encounter: sports. A Whole Different Ball Game presents a selection of 44 playable sports video games spanning the last six decades, examining the complex relationships between game, sport, media, and culture. The exhibition considers what it means for full-body sports to be transposed to screens and controllers in the service of realism, who is or is not represented in sports video games, the ways broadcast sports and video games reflect one another, and the primacy of statistics in professional sports and sports simulators. Contents: The exhibition is organized in seven sections (see below for details and game list) plus a new video installation, an interactive experience, and a video screening area with bleachers. There are 44 playable games, including hand-held devices, arcade games, console and PC games played on monitors and wall projections. Additional games that are not playable are included for historical context. In addition, there is video content in the exhibition for documentation of game play and comparison to televised sports. Curators: Curator of Digital Media Jason Eppink and John Sharp (Associate Professor in the School of Art, Media, and Technology at Parsons School of Design at The New School).

  • Ludic Dysnarrativa: How Can Fictional Inconsistency in Games Be Reduced? by Rory Keir Summerley
    Ludic Dysnarrativa: How Can Fictional Inconsistency In Games Be Reduced? by Rory Keir Summerley A Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the University of the Arts London In Collaboration with Falmouth University December 2017 Abstract The experience of fictional inconsistencies in games is surprisingly common. The goal was to determine if solutions exist for this problem and if there are inherent limitations to games as a medium that make storytelling uncommonly difficult. Termed ‘ludic dysnarrativa’, this phenomenon can cause a loss of immersion in the fictional world of a game and lead to greater difficulty in intuitively understanding a game’s rules. Through close textual analysis of The Stanley Parable and other games, common trends are identified that lead a player to experience dysnarrativa. Contemporary cognitive theory is examined alongside how other media deal with fictional inconsistency to develop a model of how information (fictional and otherwise) is structured in media generally. After determining that gaps in information are largely the cause of a player feeling dysnarrativa, it is proposed that a game must encourage imaginative acts from the player to prevent these gaps being perceived. Thus a property of games, termed ‘imaginability’, was determined desirable for fictionally consistent game worlds. Many specific case studies are cited to refine a list of principles that serve as guidelines for achieving imaginability. To further refine these models and principles, multiplayer games such as Dungeons and Dragons were analysed specifically for how multiple players navigate fictional inconsistencies within them. While they operate very differently to most single-player games in terms of their fiction, multiplayer games still provide useful clarifications and principles for reducing fictional inconsistencies in all games.

  • A Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Case Study

Ultimate Case Study Patrick Deslauriers Université du Québec à Montréal 1495, rue St-Denis, Pavillon Judith-Jasmin, UQAM, local J-1775 Montréal, Québec (CA), H3C 3P8 +1 (514) 987 3631 [email protected] Élodie Simard Université du Québec à Montréal 1495, rue St-Denis, Pavillon Judith-Jasmin, UQAM, local J-1775 Montréal, Québec (CA), H3C 3P8 +1 (514) 987 3631 [email protected] Keywords Gaming communities, social norms, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, discourse EXTENDED ABSTRACT The question of what defines gaming communities has, for a long time, been studied by scholars in different fields of research. From these studies, many recurrent characteristics are identified: shared identity (Hand and Moore 2006; Taylor 2006), knowledge (Crawford 2011; Malaby 2006), and language (Mäyrä 2008); relationships (Egenfeldt-Nielsen et al. 2008), fan creations, collective values (Erickson 1997), etc. Taking these studies and characteristics into consideration, the following questions may also be raised: what are the internal dynamics and power relationships within these communities? How are social norms—herein broadly understood as a set of expected behaviours (Mongeau and Saint-Charles 2011)—built, legitimized and “imposed” on newcomers? By whom? Thus, as seen through the literature and these questions, defining gaming communities is a complex task that may be approached in different ways. In this presentation, we will present results from a research that is currently underway and that will conclude in July 2019. This study is being conducted by four graduate students in the field of communications. It aims to contribute to the existing research by defining the main characteristics and social dynamics of the Super Smash Bros.

  • A Landscape Analysis of High School Esports In
    The Rise of High School Esports: A Landscape Analysis of US Programs Jason G. Reitman University of California – Irvine [email protected] (908) 380-0506 5013 Donald Bren Hall Irvine, CA 92697 Alexander Cho University of California – Irvine Constance Steinkuehler University of California – Irvine Keywords: esports, student engagement, interest-driven learning, social and emotional learning, extracurricular, game-based learning, high school, census interviews Conflict of Interest: This work was conducted with support from the Samueli Foundation, which also supports NASEF, one of the programs interviewed for this project. Acknowledgements This work was conducted with support from the Samueli Foundation. We would like to thank the faculty of the Connected Learning Lab – Mimi Ito, Katie Salen, and Kurt Squire – and each of the leaders in the world of high school esports for their participation and feedback. 1 Abstract Esports, or organized videogame competitions, are growing in popularity on college and high school campuses in the US. Not only have varsity esports teams emerged on university campuses, many with athletic scholarships attached, but also competitive high school esports teams and leagues – many of which claim potential positive outcomes for youth who participate despite somewhat broad public skepticism about this new form of media engagement. Relatively little is known, however, about the structure, goals, and perceptions of such programs. Toward these ends, we conducted an investigation into high school esports leagues in the United States in order to understand current attitudes and approaches to esports in high school. Using census interview methods with leaders of all known American high school esports programs in the US, we examine the perceived benefits and risks of esports in high school, the goals and barriers of such programs, and the emerging structure for participation among youth.
