  • Videogames at the Library: Ahistoricalperspective
    VideoGames at the Library: AHistoricalPerspective Gustavo Marfia∗,AlessandroAmoroso∗,MarcoRoccetti∗,GiulioBasile∗,ClaudioE.Palazzi† ∗ Dipartimento di Scienze dell’Informazione - Universit`adiBologna,Italia Email: {amoroso, marfia, roccetti}@cs.unibo.it † Dipartimento di Matematica Pura e Applicata - Universit`adegli Studi di Padova, Italia Email: [email protected] Abstract —We present an overview or the video games available at the Film Library of Bologna. This institution, in collaboration with the University of Bologna, has a whole collateral branch dedicated to the video games, as they can be considered a recreational activity somehow related to movies. This collection of video games conceptually starts from the ones that are strictly connected to movies, and then expands to a wider class of video games. A video game could be related with a movie either as its direct inspiration, its prequel or collateral plot, or also be created as a direct consequence of that movie. The expansion of the collection available in the Library includes a historical set of video games. In this paper we discuss the historical perspective of the relationship between technology and video games, providinga complete historical view of the video games by means of the titles and the consoles available in the Library. Several dedicated consoles are still in working conditions and could be used by the visitors of the Library. I. INTRODUCTION The collection of the Play Room of the Film Library of Bologna contains about 2000 video games, whose releases Fig. 1. Temporal distribution of games available at the Library with respect to the hardware platforms range from 1979, till the present date.

    Master’s Degree in Management Innovation and Marketing Final Thesis Analysis of Innovation in the Video Game Industry Supervisor Ch. Prof. Giovanni Favero Assistant Supervisor Ch. Prof. Maria Lusiani Graduand Elena Ponza Matriculation number 873935 Academic Year 2019 / 2020 I II Alla mia famiglia, che c’è stata quando più ne avevo bisogno e che mi ha sostenuta nei momenti in cui non credevo di farcela. A tutti i miei amici, vecchi e nuovi, per tutte le parole di conforto, le risate e la compagnia. A voi che siete parte di me e che, senza che vi chieda nulla, ci siete sempre. Siete i miei fiorellini. Senza di voi tutto questo non sarebbe stato possibile. Grazie, vi voglio bene. III IV Abstract During the last couple decades video game consoles and arcades have been subjected to the unexpected, swift development and spread of mobile gaming. What is it though that allowed physical platforms to yet maintain the market share they have over these new and widely accessible online resources? The aim of this thesis is to provide a deeper understanding of the concept of innovation in the quickly developing world of video games. The analysis is carried out with qualitative methods, one based on technological development in the context of business history and one on knowledge exchange and networking. Throughout this examination it has been possible to explore what kind of changes and innovations were at first applied by this industry and then extended to other fields. Some examples would be motion control technology, AR (Augmented Reality) or VR (Virtual Reality), which were originally developed for the video game industry and eventually were used in design, architecture or in the medical field.

  • Should You Buy the Nintendo Switch?
    Should You Buy the Nintendo Switch? By Nathaniel Evans I have been playing Nintendo consoles since I was 6 years old. I first played games offered by Nintendo Game Boy Advance and, as the years went by, I moved on to the Nintendo Ds then the Nintendo Wii. I own every single console ever made by Nintendo, except the Nintendo Wii-U because it would have been redundant. Having been a huge Nintendo fan my entire life and based on my experience with the consoles, I can attest that the Nintendo Switch is well worth the money and just may be the best console that they have ever produced. If you have not bought a Nintendo Switch yet, allow me to share with you why I did. The Nintendo Switch is not any run of the mill console. Yes, it outputs video of your games to a television just like any other console, but it has one added benefit, portability. Haven’t you ever wanted to just take your PS4 or Xbox One anywhere at any time, but cannot because it must be tethered to a television at all times? Well, the Switch has you backed up since the Switch not only outputs to a television screen, but it is also a tablet that allows you to play video games anywhere and at any time on the built in screen. Ever notice how creative Nintendo’s hardware is compared to the competition? They were one of the first to have an analog stick fully integrated into a console in the 90s on the Nintendo 64, they were the first to fully integrate motion control gaming into a console with the Wii, and in the recent past, they were the first to make a console that is fully portable and still have it pack a graphics punch.
