FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ORIGINAL TITLE SUPER MAGNETIC NEO BRINGS A SURREAL AND QUIRKY WORLD TO SEGA DREAMCAST Crave Entertainment to publish bizarre adventure from Genki Los Angeles, CA- April 19, 2000 – Crave Entertainment announced it is bringing Super Magnetic Neo to the Sega Dreamcast System in Q3 of 2000. This surreal and quirky 3D-platform adventure introduces players to a world like no other – one populated by an oddball hero and a cast of colorfully twisted villains. “This original title for the Sega Dreamcast fills a void in the 3D Platform genre,” stated Martin Spiess, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing. “With its endlessly inventive design, Super Magnetic Neo will give the player a colorful and challenging gaming experience.” Pao Pao Park, a vast and wondrous amusement park, has fallen under the control of Pinki and her evil gang. Pinki, a two-year-old girl who rides around in a floating pink rubber ducky, has rigged the entire park with magnetic contraptions, installed evil robots and set all of her menacing monsters on the loose. The game consists of four worlds, each with four stages, a boss level and multiple bonus levels. The worlds include The Jungle World, The World of Ruins, The World of the Old West and The World of the Future. Neo’s most important challenge is to be able to find his way through the booby-trapped theme park in order to stop Pinki and her posse from wrecking havoc on the world. To accomplish this, Neo uses his unique weapons including his arsenal of magnetic powers and the ability to blast either a North or South polarized magnetic field from his head.

Localization of Undertale, an American Video Game, Into Japanese
Localization of Undertale, An American Video Game, Into Japanese Maria Christina Jørstad JAP4693- Mater’s Thesis in Modern Japan (30 Credits) Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages (IKOS) UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Spring 2018 II Localization of Undertale, An American Video Game, Into Japanese Maria Christina Jørstad JAP4693- Mater’s Thesis in Modern Japan (30 Credits) Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages (IKOS) UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Spring 2018 III © Maria Christina Jørstad 2018 Localization of Undertale, An American Video Game, Into Japanese Maria Christina Jørstad http://www.duo.uio.no Print: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Abstract In this thesis we will examine the localization of the American RPG-title video game Undertale, a video game created and published by Toby Fox in 2015, in the context of language phenomenon in Japanese fiction and translation called yakuwarigo (i.e. role language in English), and character/attribute language. Yakuwarigo and character/attribute language are virtual languages that are not used in real life, but are used in fiction and translations in order for the reader to more easily identify the characters with the help of stereotypes. In translations into Japanese it seems to be more common to translate the conversation of all female characters or male characters into conversation that are overly feminine or overtly masculine irrespective of their personality, background, age, and social status. However, the analysis of yakuwarigo and character/attribute language used in the Japanese version of Undertale shows that the Japanese version uses abundant yakuwarigo and character/role language to differentiate and therefore create the characters in the video game.

2003 IGDA Online Games White Paper
IGDA Online Games White Paper 2nd Edition – March 2003 Written by the IGDA Online Games Committee Alex Jarett Committee Chairman Jon Estanislao Committee Vice-Chairman and Editor Elonka Dunin Editor Jennifer MacLean Market Overview Section Editor Brian Robbins Business Models Section Editor David Rohrl Production and Design Section Editor John Welch Game Technology Section Editor Jeferson Valadares Online Publishers Section Editor IGDA Online Games White Paper - 2003 FORWARD It is generally accepted now that the Internet and online games provide a tremendous opportunity for new forms of entertainment and for growing the game market at large. With the massive success of online games, ranging from games such as EverQuest to Bejeweled to Pogo and Shockwave, it's pretty clear that this opportunity is real and here to stay. Online features are now starting to take hold in the console wars. It's no longer a question of whether the console world will embrace online, but how much. For the independent developer, the online world offers opportunities ranging from contrarian business models, to a less risky way to try out new ideas, to simply a way to work on different and cool projects. But the independent developer is at a strategic disadvantage when it comes to the online world. Without access to research on what's actually happening in online, a developer can quickly find that any investments made will not get the returns needed. How many developers do you know who are working on the next “great” massively multiplayer game, but don't have any real idea how that game is going to find a market? This project was designed to fill the information void.

088 Shutoko Battle
- Shutoko Battle - THE original drift racing game It’s not uncommon in gaming for publishers to re-name games for a different territory. However Shutokou has had more names than any other. It was released in Japan for SNES in May 1994 as a typically verbose name Tsuchiya Keiichi: Shutokou Battle '94. Tsuchiya is a drifting legend in Japan—his ‘street’ name being DRIFT KING! The game was developed by Bullet Proof Software and published by Genki. By the time this game launched in Japan in 1994, Mode 7 games for SNES were already dated. Consequently it would have been of lit- tle interest to western gamers. For Japan however, It had three magical ingredients: A storey, the drift King and car tuning...so they lapped it up. It didn’t take Genki long to follow it up with a slightly fatter sequel ‘ Touge Densetsu: Saisoku Battle’ . It too remained a de- light for the Japanese gamers only. November 1996 saw Genki export the game to North America and now it was in glorious Playstation 3D. By Ridge Racer and Need for Speed standards it was weak in terms of gameplay and graphics and soon became monotonous and with the handling method much misunderstood, it was a flop. The European debut for Genki’s night time Motorway drift racer was in 1999 for the 128 bit Sega Dreamcast. As with America, Genki found that Europe didn’t warm very much to it’s game (created by Crave Entertainment). Probably because DC owners were busy get- ting excited over MSR. Or maybe because once-respected Edge Magazine gave it a thoroughly undeserved 3/10 (in the same issue they also gave classic driving game Driver a shockingly depressed 7/10.) Thankfully Shutoko lit a drifting flame that burnt slowly but surely for a number of years as subsequent games appeared on Playstation and Xbox (in all manor of names in different regions).
