Drop-In – Mario/Jumpman? Animal Buddy – in a Pinch, Some of This Can
Drop-in – Mario/Jumpman? Animal Buddy – In a pinch, some of this can be based on animal bossses and enemies. Should have a sidekick role. What general concepts are animal buddies good for? Helping, doing things better that help, not dying? Being in a box? Kong – Technically humans can be a kong, take the chimp perk. Don't forget those martial arts apes from jungle beats Kremlin - Snowmad - Island roll, not sure about age though. There is age, but the range... Kong Species Choice – Should be alts of their free perk, basically. Orangutan – Stretchy Chimp – Smart Monkey – Acrobatic Gorilla – Stonk. Mention shockwaves Drop-in 100 – The jumping perk. Basic Mario Drop-in 200 – sports-game perk? Lots of donkey kong in these. Drop-in 400 – Minis? Drop-in 600 – Just look up Mario stuff from DK games Kong 200 – Potions? Kong 400 – Kong Fu, might switch with the potion perk. Kong 600 - Kremling 100 – Something about bite force? Can also breath underwater and survive in toxic waste as alternate ideas. Kremling 200 – Getting injured can turn you red and increase your power and speed? Kremling 400 – Jungle Climber etc seems to have crazy robots. The Baron specialized in it. Only other Krool stuff I can use is evil planning genericness. Also other advanced tech the kremlings like. Kremling 600 – Kerozene can make fire and is immune to magma, but that's similar to the snowmad one. He's also huge too like Klumsy and others, and has ridic strength and toughness. Another possibility is a “King of the Krocs” deal where you can inspire people to be ruled over by you as an abusive crazy despot. -

Mario's Time Machine
Serious Game Critique By Anas Siraj Mario’s Time Machine! CONCEPT Mario’s Time Machine, based on the original Super Mario franchise, is an old-school game in which Mario must retrieve a number of stolen artifacts from Bowser, in order to return them to their rightful places at different points in time / history. INITIAL PLATFORM: MS-DOS OTHER PLATFORMS: NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) and SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) STORYLINE The story begins as Bowser steals the historical artifacts for his own benefit. Mario must use the time machine (called the Timulator) to travel to different points in time / history in order to retrieve them. He must then use the time machine to return the artifacts to their rightful owners. NOTE: All historical artifacts, time periods and artifact owners are from REAL HISTORY, in an excellent attempt at educating kids and teens the history of our species. Mario (the player) travels through a variety of lands and oceans in search for the artifacts, giving him/her the opportunity to experience a number of different gameplay styles and visuals along the way. Once the artifacts are retrieved and returned to their original owners, Mario wins. SCREENSHOTS Screenshots of Mario’s Time Machine ENTERTAINING EDUCATION Mario’s Time Machine displays a very good understanding of how to make information interesting and fun. The game educates kids while keeping them entertained, where in most cases they are not even aware that they are playing an educational game. SOUND AND MUSIC The game stays true to its roots by using the classic Mario sounds we’re used to hearing, but with a twist. -

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. -

Spend up to 25O/O of Their Time on Smaftphones Using Whatsapp. As
OASIS February 26,2014 Mr. Satoru Iwata President and CEO, Nintendo Co., Ltd. CEO, Nintendo of America 1 I -l Kamitoba-hokotate-cho, Minami-ku Kyoto 60 I -850 I Japan Dear Mr. Iwata, Oasis, a private investment fund management company, is an advisor to entities that are the beneficial owners of shares of Nintendo Co. Ltd. I am following up on my letter to you dated June I1,2013, in which Iwrote to you that as both customers and shareholders, Oasis would like to see Nintendo develop and sell games for the iOS and Android platforms, and that as shareholders, we look forward to participating in your current business and your future success. I was prompted to write this follow up, open letter to you after analyzing Facebook's purchase of WhatsApp for $19 billion. We believe that Facebook's decision demonstrates the value placed on maintaining supremacy in the Iimited pool of mobile social interaction. lt is the battle for consumer attention on the smartphone. According to media repofts, users in many countries spend up to 25o/o of their time on smaftphones using WhatsApp. As the holder of what is arguably the largest library of casual games, Nintendo is well placed to make an immediate entry into mobile. Adapting the Nintendo library for smartphones could profoundly alter the complexion of the "attention share" currently occupied by Facebook, WhatsApp, and mobile games developers. The same people who spent hours playing Super Mario, Donkey Kong, and Legend of Zelda as children are now a demographic whose engagement on the smartphone is valued by the market at well over $100 billion if we look at the aggregate value of all companies competing for attention on mobile. -
The Making of Star Fox Welcome to My First Newshounds Article of 2019
The Making Of Star Fox Welcome to my first Newshounds article of 2019-2020! It’s that time once again of a new school year, which means a whole new batch of articles to publish! There’s a bunch of great articles that I’ve planned for this year, so before we dive into this article, let’s recap which articles I published last year! We started off the previous year with a Q&A about myself, where students could give me questions to answer! Let’s say there were some interesting ones in there! Christmas was approaching at a rapid pace and before the big day arrived, we delved into the history of Apple’s iPhone and we realised how far technology has come since the late 2000’s. After that, we entered the construction site to delve into the deepest blueprints of Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s latest rollercoaster ICON! Finally, we all came as one to choose which article to be published next. We ended up taking look at the history of Sonic The Hedgehog at Alton Towers, which covered over a quarter of a century to produce! Anyways enough rambling on, let’s get the ball rolling! Nowadays, gaming has come an extremely long way since its inception, but back in the ‘90’s we were restricted in technology compared to what we have today. However, today we are going to look at singlehandedly THE game that brought the world of 3D to home consoles. Welcome to the making of… WARNING: There may some terms that may be hard to understand. -
From Girlfriend to Gamer: Negotiating Place in the Hardcore/Casual Divide of Online Video Game Communities
FROM GIRLFRIEND TO GAMER: NEGOTIATING PLACE IN THE HARDCORE/CASUAL DIVIDE OF ONLINE VIDEO GAME COMMUNITIES Erica Kubik A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2010 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Amy Robinson Graduate Faculty Representative Kristine Blair Donald McQuarie ii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor The stereotypical video gamer has traditionally been seen as a young, white, male; even though female gamers have also always been part of video game cultures. Recent changes in the landscape of video games, especially game marketers’ increasing interest in expanding the market, have made the subject of women in gaming more noticeable than ever. This dissertation asked how gender, especially females as a troubling demographic marking difference, shaped video game cultures in the recent past. This dissertation focused primarily on cultures found on the Internet as they related to video game consoles as they took shape during the beginning of the seventh generation of consoles, between 2005 and 2009. Using discourse analysis, this dissertation analyzed the ways gendered speech was used by cultural members to define not only the limits and values of a generalizable video game culture, but also to define the idealized gamer. This dissertation found that video game cultures exhibited the same biases against women that many other cyber/digital cultures employed, as evidenced by feminist scholars of technology. Specifically, female gamers were often perceived as less authoritative of technology than male gamers. This was especially true when the concept “hardcore” was employed to describe the ideals of gaming culture.
