  • Confirmado El Lanzamiento De Sakura Wars El 28 De Abril En PS4
    Confirmado el lanzamiento de Sakura Wars el 28 de abril en PS4 El año pasado, anunciamos que Sakura Wars, una de las principales franquicias de SEGA, llegaría a Occidente. Con gran placer podemos ya desvelar que la fecha oficial de lanzamiento de Sakura Wars en PlayStation 4 será el 28 de abril de 2020, ¡solamente quedan unos pocos meses por delante! Descubre lo que Sakura Wars tiene que ofrecerte en el nuevo tráiler del juego para Occidente: Una llamada para algo verdaderamente especial Como una de las principales franquicias de SEGA en Japón, Sakura Wars debutó en la SEGA Saturn en 1996 y se convirtió en una exitosa franquicia que abarca secuelas, spin-offs, anime, manga e incluso espectáculos escénicos. Algunas de las mejores mentes creativas en las industrias JRPG y anime han unido sus talentos con SEGA para llevar Sakura Wars a una nueva generación y a una nueva audiencia en Occidente. Para este reinicio, SEGA ha traído a muchos de los creadores originales y ha recibido importantes contribuciones en cuanto al diseño de personajes a cargo de Tite Kubo, Yukiko Horiguchi, BUNBUN, Fumikane Shimada, Ken Sugimori, Shigenori Soejima, y muchos más para crear una producción espectacular. La Imperial Combat Revue se sitúa en el centro de la escena como la fuerza defensiva de Tokio contra la amenaza demoníaca en esta desmesurada aventura. Los soldados están en tiempos de guerra, no así los artistas del teatro que se hallan en tiempos de paz, la División de las Flores no está cumpliendo con su legado y corre el riesgo de ser clausurada.

  • Romantic Love and Narrative Form in Japanese Visual Novels and Romance Adventure Games
    arts Article From Novels to Video Games: Romantic Love and Narrative Form in Japanese Visual Novels and Romance Adventure Games Kumiko Saito Department of Languages, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Video games are powerful narrative media that continue to evolve. Romance games in Japan, which began as text-based adventure games and are today known as bishojo¯ games and otome games, form a powerful textual corpus for literary and media studies. They adopt conventional literary narrative strategies and explore new narrative forms formulated by an interface with computer- generated texts and audiovisual fetishism, thereby challenging the assumptions about the modern textual values of storytelling. The article first examines differences between visual novels that feature female characters for a male audience and romance adventure games that feature male characters for a female audience. Through the comparison, the article investigates how notions of romantic love and relationship have transformed from the modern identity politics based on freedom and the autonomous self to the decentered model of mediation and interaction in the contemporary era. Keywords: Japanese video games; visual novels; bishojo¯ games; otome games; romance simulation; literature; romance; narrative form; modernity; postmodernity Citation: Saito, Kumiko. 2021.

  • 1/4 3Q Results for Fiscal Year Ending March 2021 Major Questions In
    3Q results for Fiscal Year ending March 2021 Major Questions in Conference Briefing about Results for Analysts and Institutional Investors February 25, 2021 SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS INC. IR Department, Finance and Accounting Division (All contents here are the translation of Japanese materials) ■ Date: Friday, February 12, 2021, 13:00- ■ Respondents: Makoto Takahashi (Senior Vice President and Executive Officer, Manager of Group Representative) Yoichi Owaki (Senior Vice President and Executive Officer, Managing Director of Finance and Accounting Division of SEGA SAMMY HOLDINGS INC.) Pachislot and Pachinko Machines Business Q: Please tell me about the utilization status of pachinko and pachislot, and the response of users and pachinko halls. 43,000 units of “P Shin Hokuto Muso Chapter 3” have been sold, and I think it is a quite huge hit at this time, but do you see the demand for new regulation pachinko machines from machines such as “P Shin Hokuto Muso Chapter 3” being bought quite a lot? Also, the demand trend for 6.1 model pachislot machines is somewhat unclear. Please tell me if the demand is strengthening. A: The utilization rate of pachinko hall is roughly 70% to 80%. In particular, the utilization rate is weak in the metropolitan area centered on the Kanto region, mainly due to declaration of the state of emergency. As a result, we think pachinko halls are somewhat holding back on the installation of machines. However, as you stated, we installed about 40,000 units of our pachinko machine, “P Shin Hokuto Muso Chapter 3”, and other companies have also installed about the same number of machines.
