Melee: An Interdisciplinary Esports Ethnography Abbie 'spoopy' Rappaport This work presents a qualitative analysis of the esports community that plays and watches Super Smash Bros. Melee (SSBM) , a platform-based fighting game released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2001. SSBM is unusual as an esport for the way that it is built on a grass-roots foundation shaped by players (rather than the game's developers) and is contingent on the continued use of residual media objects, specifically the CRT television, Nintendo GameCube and Wii console coupled with the restraints of analog signal processing. SSBM players show particular dedication to dominant community practices like strict tournament rules and settings, shared use of dialect/nomenclatures, mode of play and so on, which are derived from, embedded in, and reinforced by specific hardware and software objects.

  • The 81St Annual General Meeting of Shareholders Q & A
    The 81st Annual General Meeting of Shareholders Nintendo Co., Ltd. Q&A Summary If you quote any or all of this Q&A, please display the URL of this website or put a link to this website. Q1 I'd like to ask about the exchange rate assumptions in your financial forecast. For this fiscal year, you are assuming an exchange rate of 120 yen to the euro, but that seems like a strong yen considering the rates assumed by other companies and the fact that the exchange rate is now trending at around 130 yen to the euro. On what basis did you calculate this assumed exchange rate? A1 Shuntaro Furukawa (Representative Director and President): First, let me briefly touch on how changes in the exchange rate affect our business performance. For our company, overseas sales account for around 80% of total sales, so variation in the assumed exchange rate has a significant impact on sales. Also, because of the high proportion of overseas sales, a relatively large amount of the bonds and cash, and cash equivalents we hold are denominated in foreign currencies. These are all calculated in yen based on the exchange rate as of the end of the fiscal year and recorded on the balance sheet. Foreign exchange gains and losses generated by the temporary revaluation at the end of the fiscal year are recorded as non-operating profit or loss in the statements of income. You asked about the basis for our assumed rate of 120 yen to the euro for this fiscal year. As you pointed out, we assume a slightly stronger yen compared to the recent rate.

  • Nostalgic Travel in Videogames
    Loading… The Journal of the Canadian Game Studies Association Vol 11(18): 58-80 http://loading.gamestudies.ca “The Fantasy that Never Takes Place”: Nostalgic Travel in Videogames Christopher Goetz The University of Iowa [email protected] Abstract This article explores the correspondence between a pensive mode of play and the nostalgic address of 1990s and early 2000s adventure videogames. It explores the porous boundaries of the videogame text by conceiving of the wish to dwell within the game as a longing for radical difference (something only found elsewhere). The article discusses three ‘nostalgic gestures’ that stall the game’s action: the glance from foreground to background, the shift from the game to paratextual materials, and the drift of attention out the window or away from the gaming context altogether. Gaming’s promise of exotic transport activates a “fervor of the possible,” a melancholic identification with the world beyond which invests game spaces with the capacity for hopeful discovery, verging on a wish to remove oneself from the flow of time altogether. Author Keywords Nostalgia; Nintendo; Videogames; Barthes; Pensiveness; Melancholia; Imperialism; Daydream; Fantasy; Psychoanalysis; Rhythmanalysis Introduction: Time to Think and No Place to Go The isolated villages on the horizon become homelands for the eyes. Distance disperses nothing but, on the contrary, composes a miniature of a country in which we should like to live.1 In the many hours devoted to scouring every inch of side-scrolling Super Nintendo games like Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island (1995) and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest (1995), mastering and exhausting their diegetic contents, I would often catch myself lapsing in my duty as player to push toward that “frontier” of new worlds, the right side of the screen.
