  • Game Narrative Review
    Game Narrative Review ==================== Your name (one name, please): Chris Leonhardt Your school: Dakota State University Your email: [email protected] Month/Year you submitted this review: 12/15 ==================== Game Title: Pokémon Black/ White Version Platform: Nintendo DS Genre: Japanese Roleplaying Game Release Date: September 18, 2010 Developer: Game Freak Publisher: The Pokémon Company Game Writer/Creative Director/Narrative Designer: Toshinobu Matsumiya Overview By the time Pokémon Black/ White Version arrived, the world had been attempting to “be the very best, like no one ever was” for over a decade. Everyone knew the ropes: grab a Pokédex, collect the badges, save the world, and become the Pokémon League Champion. The Pokémon series had a predetermined formula for success that had proven true time and time again. However, when Pokemon Black/ White were released, they chose to forgo the traditional, mostly lighthearted tales of old in favor of a new story that asked the questions that many trainers had been asking themselves for years. Set in a Unova, a region distant from others in the world, the game follows a new, older Pokémon trainer as they determine the morality of the Pokémon world. Characters Hilbert/Hilda – Hilbert and Hilda are the default names of the player character. They act as the avatar of the story, allowing the player to immerse themselves in the Unova region. N – As the king of Team Plasma, an organization within Unova that acts as its own monarchy, N travels the region furthering the cause of the organization. Having been raised by Pokémon, he cares for them more than he cares for people.

  • Pokémon – 25 Year Anniversary
    25 years since Created Many people assume that Ishihara (CEO of Pokémon) is the actual creator Satoshi Tajiri as he makes all the public appearances. Tajiri rarely makes public appearances as he has Asperger's syn- drome and this affects his social abilities Satoshi was obsessed with video games and used to play the in the arcades and almost didn't graduate from High School. He spent so much time in his local arcade that he was given his own ‘Space Invaders’ machine. AK 02/2021 Tajiri did a two year technical degree programme at the Tokyo National College of Technology At 17 years of age, Tajiri started a video games magazine called ‘Game Freak’ which was initially handwritten and stapled together . The legendary Ken Sugimori (Pokémon illustrator) became involved with the magazine after coming across it at a local comic shop. Before the release of Pokémon ‘Red and Green’, Ta- jiri directed two games that were published by two of Nintendos biggest rivals, Sony and Sega. Tajiri directed ‘Smart Ball’ for Super Nintendo which was published by Sony and ‘Pulseman’ for the Sega Gen- esis which was published by Sega. By the time the development on Pokémon ‘Red and Green’ began, the whole process from start to finish was ex- tremely rigorous. The games took six years to complete and nearly caused ‘Game Freak’ to go bankrupt. They barely had enough money to pay their employees, with five of them quitting. Tajiri was so dedicated he did not give himself a salary and was supported by his fa- thers income.

  • Super Smash Bros. Melee from a Casual Game to a Competitive Game
    Playing with the script: Super Smash Bros. Melee From a casual game to a competitive game Joeri Taelman 4112334 New Media and Digital Culture Master thesis Supervisor Dr. Stefan Werning Second reader Dr. René Glas 8th of February, 2015 Abstract This thesis studies the interaction between developers and players outside of game design. It does so by using the concept of ‘playing with the script’. René Glas’ Battlefields of Negotiations (2013) studies the interaction between those two stakeholders for a networked game. In Glas’ case of World of Warcraft, it is networked play, meaning that the developer (Blizzard) has control over the game’s servers and thus can implement the results of negotiations by changing the rules continuously. Playing with the script can be seen as an addition to ‘battlefields of negotiation’, and explains the negotiations outside of the game’s structure for a non-networked game and how these negotiations affect the game series’ continuum. Using a frame analysis, this thesis explores the interaction between Nintendo and the players of the game Super Smash Bros. Melee as participatory culture. The latter is possible by going back and forth between the script inscribed in the object by developers and its displacement by the users, in which the community behind the game, ‘the smashers’, transformed the casual nature of the game into a competitive one. 2 Acknowledgments It took a while to realize this New Media and Digital Culture master thesis for Utrecht University. Not only during, but also before the time of writing I have been helped and influenced by a couple of people.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Press Start Press Start Pokémon is Evolving! Pokémon is Evolving! An investigation into the development of the Pokémon community and expectations for the future of the franchise Carina Assunção University of Edinburgh Michelle Brown De Montfort University Ross Workman University of Central Lancashire Abstract Pokémon is one of Nintendo’s largest, most influential franchises. With a history ranging more than twenty years, its enormous fan-base spans video and trading card games, anime TV shows and films, amongst other media. This paper aims to investigate the Pokémon fan community while exploring how the franchise has grown: from its beginnings as a pop-culture phenomenon, to one of the strongest and friendliest gaming fan communities in existence today. Data gathered from 165 online respondents examines how fans’ past experiences with the franchise inform their expectations towards future products. It also explores how considerable efforts from developers – as well as the gaming community – contribute to the creative growth of a continually-expanding fan-base. Additionally, this study was in a unique position to gather data before two new Pokémon games were released: Pokken Tournament and Pokémon GO. The former did not generate high expectations but still performed well in terms of sales. The latter was thought of as a casual game but, as the world now knows, was a tremendous success. Insights obtained from researching fan attitudes to unreleased games show that expectations do not always become reality.

Resum 516 El panorama dels videojocs comercials de qualsevol consola es pot dividir en diferents categories. Axí hem vist que a la Nintendo DS hi ha: jocs de taula, videojocs musicals (incloses aplicacions de música), arcade i acció, els de trets (anomenats també shooter), de rol, aventures, destacant-ne l’aventura gràfica i conversacional, educatius i minivideojocs o microjocs. Després d’haver vist els videojocs que hi ha al mercat per a la Nintendo DS, ens hem centrat en els videojocs no comercials. Així, hem vist una interacció entre la indústria del manga, la indústria de l’anime i la indústria dels videojocs. Videojocs basats en sèries de manga o anime, manga o anime basats en videojocs i videojocs que integren elements de manga o anime a la seua estètica o estructura narrativa. Finalment, hem estudiat els aspectes concrets i particulars de l'actual producció no comercial a Espanya per a la Nintendo DS. Destaquem d’aquest panorama el videojoc Raruto DS, no tant per les seues qualitats intrínseques sinó perquè és una mostra palesa de què és un videojoc no comercial de la Nintendo DS basat en un manga no comercial.
