TCW Podcast Episode 200 - The History of Handheld Games Part 3 In our concluding episode exploring the evolution of handheld games, we kick off with the Amiga and the allure of bouncing balls before delving into the Atari Lynx, an early and captivating handheld console. Despite its appeal, the Lynx struggled against challenges like its high price, the limited library of engaging games, and subpar battery life, ultimately being overshadowed by the Nintendo Game Boy—a device well-suited for puzzle games. Sega's Game Gear, whose origin may have stolen its design from Nintendo or Epyx- It's complicated. The Game Gear was notable but never had a lasting impact. Gunpei Yokoi took a daring leap with the Virtual Boy, which unfortunately flopped, returning to familiar ground with the Game Boy Pocket. Yokoi's departure coincided with the rise of Pokémon, injecting new vitality into handheld gaming. Yokoi later founded his own company, contributing to the development of Bandai's Wonderswan. This prompted Nintendo's response with the Game Boy Color. Despite various attempts, no other company has managed to dethrone Nintendo as the undisputed king of handheld consoles.

In this week's episode, I look back at some of my favorite classic video games, and also discuss my book advertising results from October 2023. This week's coupon is for the audiobook of CLOAK OF BLADES as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy. You can get the audiobook of CLOAK OF BLADES for 75% off at my Payhip store with this coupon code: NOVBLADES The coupon code is valid through November 28th, 2023, so if you find yourself wanting to get caught up with Nadia's adventures before CLOAK OF EMBERS comes out, why not start with an audiobook? TRANSCRIPT Hey, everyone. Welcome to Episode 174 of the Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is November the 3rd, 2023, and today we're going to talk about classic video games. We'll also discuss October 2023's ad results and made up words that turn out to be not made up after all. Before we get into all that and then an update about my current writing project, it is time for Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon is for the audiobook of Cloak of Blades as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy. You can get the audiobook of Cloak of Blades for 75% off in my Payhip store with this coupon code NOVBLADES and that is spelled NOVBLADES and you get that in the show notes. The coupon code is valid through November 28th, 2023, so if you find yourself wanting to get caught up with Nadia's adventures before Cloak of Embers comes out, why not start with an audiobook? You can get the coupon code and the links in the show notes for this episode. Now let's have an update on my current writing projects. I am 107,000 words into Cloak of Embers, which puts me on Chapter 21 of 22 so I'm almost done and I'm hoping to get that wrapped up next week if all goes well. At 107,000 words, I'm not sure how long it will be once I'm done editing and by the time the rough draft is done, but it will almost certainly be either the longest or second longest book that had Nadia as a main character. So that will be something to look forward to. I'm also 9,500 words into the book I'm going to write after Cloak of Embers and I will discuss that a bit more and what I intend to do with that after Cloak of Embers is published, hopefully in November. But we'll see. In audiobook news, Dragon Skull: Wrath of the Warlock is almost done in audiobook, as excellently narrated by Brad Wills and we just have to finish proof listening to it and hopefully we should have that come out before the end of November if all goes well. Brad is also going to start work on Dragonskull: Doom of the Sorceress before much longer, and that will probably (given how the holidays are falling this year) come out in either late December or January, with January being the more likely outcome. In other audiobook news, Hollis McCarthy will soon start the recording of Ghost in the Serpent, so hopefully we'll have more updates on that soon. 00:02:30 Reader Questions/Comments Before we get to our topics today, let's have a few questions from readers. Our first question is from Lisa, who writes to ask: Hello, I just started reading your book series with your character Ridmark Arban and I am wondering what is the very first book to start with. Is it the one called the First Quest or is it a different one to start with? Also I have been looking all over the Internet trying to figure out what the book order is for your character Ridmark Arban and I'm having no luck. In answer to your question Lisa, the very first book with Ridmark Arban would be Frostborn: The Gray Knight. That is the first book in the Frostborn series, and Ridmark is also the main character in Sevenfold Sword and then Dragontiarna, though I would recommend starting with Frostborn: The Gray Knight. And you can find the series reading order on either my website or it should be in the metadata on all the different retailers. And I think we have that set up properly now. Frostborn: The First Quest is a prequel to the main Frostborn series that I put out for free to people to read and enjoy as a bit of back story, but it's a prequel and the actual official starting point of the Frostborn series would be Frostborn: The Gray Knight. Our next question…well, it's more of a comment really is from Juana who writes about the upcoming Cloak of Embers and her opinion of the character of Victoria Carrow. And this is what she thinks Victoria will be A: she's the head of Singularity B: She is a criminal elf. C: She killed Tarlia and took her place or D: She is an anthrophage elder with really good impulse control. In any case, she is bad news and I just don't like her. Ah, as you might guess from that comment, Juana is a longtime reader who has read many of my books. Thanks for that, Juana. She has been very suspicious of Victoria Carrow from the beginning, when she first appeared, way back in Cloak of Ashes back in 2020. Well, Victoria does have a secret and we are going to find out what it is in Cloak of Embers. And during the process of writing this book, I realized that talking about Victoria's secret had an additional meaning that I did not intend but in this sense we are talking about the secret held by Victoria Carrow and not the apparel company. And now for a question a couple of different readers have had over the past few months since Silent Order: Pulse Hand came out. A reader emailed to ask of the word materiel, spelled MATERIEL in Silent Order: Pulse Hand was a mistake and asked if it should have been spelled material, MATERIAL. No, that spelling is correct. Materiel is a real word when spelled with an E. It refers to weaponry, supplies and equipment used for war in the military or to quote the Wikipedia definition: “Materiel are supplies, equipment and weapons in a military supply chain management, and typically supplies and equipment in a commercial supply chain context. In a military context, the term materiel refers to either the specific needs, excluding manpower of a force to complete a specific mission, or the general sense of the needs, excluding manpower of a functioning army. An important category of materiel is commonly referred to as ordnance, especially concerning mounted guns, artillery and the shells they consume, along with fuel and munitions in general the steady supply of ordnance is an ongoing logistical challenge in active combat zones.” Or to put it another way, not only is materiel a real word, it is in fact a topic to which many serious minded military officers have devoted much serious minded thought since a failure to address your military's materiel needs means you're going to lose the war before the first shot is fired. To be fair, as a science fiction and fantasy writer, I make up a lot of words. Grammarly is always so impressed that I use so many unique words but it really isn't fair because I do make a lot of them up. That said, I was a history major, which was not helpful to finding a real job, but turned out to be useful for concept and terms for fantasy novels. Like in Frostborn, I use the terms dux and comes for noblemen instead of duke and count because Latin was the primary language of Andomhaim and the terms duke and count were derived from the Latin words dux and comes. However, given how confused some people were by the terms dux and comes, if I had to do it all over again, I would probably default to duke and count, just to reduce reader confusion. Though urvaalg was one of my better made-up words. No one ever gets confused about what an urvaalg is. So those are the comments and questions for the week. If you have a comment or question you'd like addressed on the show, leave it as a comment on one of my websites and we will see if we can get to it. 00:07:09 Ad Results for October 2023 Our next topic for today is ad results from October 2023. Since it's past the 1st of November, it's good time to look back and see how my ads did for October 2023. I have to admit that October was a pretty weak month for sales for a variety of reasons beyond my control or honestly anyone's control. For one thing, the economy remains bad and inflation is high, especially in the US. For another, the international news in October was very bad, which always puts a damper on discretionary entertainment spending like books. Amazon US was consistently glitchy throughout all of October and still isn't working right as of the time of this recording. I can't prove this, but I think the books category faced strong competition from video games in October, especially Spiderman 2 for PlayStation and Super Mario Wonder for the Switch. Full disclosure, I did buy Super Mario Wonder and I'm playing it and it's excellent. On the plus side, Ghost in the Serpent had a strong start and Silent Order did very well in October on the strength of the Bookbub feature deal back in the first week of September and the lingering halo effect from Pulse Hand coming out soon afterwards. People are generally more willing to start a finished series than an unfinished one, especially in the science fiction and fantasy space. All my ads for October turned a profit, which I am very grateful for. So here's how the Facebook ads did. For Frostborn, I got back $5.44 for every dollar I spent, with 44% of my profit coming from the audiobooks. For the Ghosts. I got back $7.46 for every dollar spent, with 8% of the profit coming from audiobooks. If you take out Ghost in the Serpent, my profit comes to $2.95 with 20% of the profit coming from the audiobooks. For Cloak Games and Cloak Mage, I got back $3.19 for every dollar spent and for Silent Order, I got back $4.45 for every dollar spent. For Amazon ads, the only thing I advertised myself was Dragonskull: Sword of the Squire, which did pretty well. For every dollar spent, I got back $3.41, with 27% of the profit coming from the audiobook. So we see once again, that audiobooks, once you have them, are usually a good additional profit for a long series. For some reason I could never really get the Cloak Games or Cloak Mage audiobooks to sell, which is why I said usually instead of certainly. I think in November I'm going to do things a little bit differently. I'm going to try advertising Frostborn entirely on Bookbub ads, which I haven't used in a while. Facebook has been making some changes to the way targeting works on its ad platform, and I can see those changes making it less useful to advertise books there. Additionally, Facebook has also begun testing a subscription service for an ad free experience, which obviously would make Facebook way less useful for book advertising. The advantage for Bookbub ads is that some of the targeting has already been done for you. Like with Facebook ads, one of the keys to success is to make sure you've targeted your audience correctly. With Bookbub ads, everyone looking at the Bookbub e-mail is already looking for discount books anyway, so some of the targeting work has been done for you already. Anyway, if Facebook is considering pivoting away from ads in favor of paid subscriptions, it will be good to have backup options ready. And as always, thanks for reading. There would be no point in advertising these books if people didn't read them. 00:10:29 Main Topic of the Week: Classic Video Games So, let's go on to our main topic this week: something fun because it's my podcast and I wanted to talk about something fun. That topic is classic video games. The main way I have played classic video games for the last four years is the Nintendo Switch, which I bought in September 2019. I've mentioned before that I didn't play any console games from about 1998 to 2019. There were several good reasons for this. First, I was really busy. Second, consoles are expensive and I definitely didn't have the money to drop on many games for the 2000s and most of the 2010s. Third, while I did play games, I played on the PC. I remember in 2007 not going out to eat for a while to save up to buy a better video card so I could play Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion on something other than the very lowest video settings. But 2019 marked a major personal milestone, my 100th book. Dragontiarna: Knights was about to come out and a few people asked what I wanted to do to mark this milestone. Maybe take a trip, go on vacation, that kind of thing. Instead, I decided that I wanted a Nintendo Switch. But why a Nintendo Switch? At Easter 2018, my younger brother unexpectedly gave me a Super Nintendo Classic as a present. For a while, at the end of the 2010s, Nintendo intermittently sold two mini consoles, the Nintendo Classic and the Super Nintendo Classic, each one accompanied with recreations of the old style controllers and some of the greatest hits for the respective console. Playing around with the Super Nintendo Classic got me interested in the Switch since the Switch online subscription service also came with emulators for the NES and the Super Nintendo. I have played a lot of NES and Super Nintendo games back in the 1990s, but I only rarely had the chance to finish them. Partly it was because I was busy and partly because the technology to save games back then really didn't exist for either the Nintendo or the Super Nintendo, with a few exceptions. If you ran out of lives and died, or you had to go do something and turn off the console, that was it. Your game was gone and you had to start over from scratch. But after Dragontiarna: Knights was published, I made up my mind about what I wanted to do to celebrate, and I got a Switch. As it turned out, getting the Nintendo Switch 8 months before the great COVID freak out turned out to be a really, really good idea. It gave me the opportunity to beat several games, actually numerous games that I had run out of time to play. The first one was The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, which I had gotten for the PC back in 2011 and played intermittently ever since, but never found the time to finish. I beat it for the first time on Switch and then I finished Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, which was a spiritual successor to the various Castlevania games of the 1990s. With a combination of Switch Online, save states, and some of the anthology collections available for the console, I managed to finish some of the classic games from the ‘80s and early ‘90s that I never had the chance to finish earlier, like the original Super Mario Games, Super Mario Brothers, Super Mario 3 for the NES, and Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo. I never really got into Super Mario 2 for the NES and never really tried to play it. The Castlevania series: the three Castlevania games for NES, Castlevania 2 for the Game Boy (the first Castlevania for Game Boy really isn't worth playing) and Castlevania 4 and Castlevania Dracula X for the Super Nintendo and I finally got to beat all those. The Zelda series: the original Legend of Zelda for NES (which I never finished) and Link to the Past for Super Nintendo, which is in fact one of the few Super Nintendo games I actually finished back when it originally came out, but I enjoyed being able to play it on the Switch with saved states. Super Metroid, which I never got a chance to play at all in the ‘90s and is deservedly a classic. You frequently see its mechanics turn up in many other modern games. Lest you think I spent all my time replaying the classics, I did finish some newer games as well. The remake of Link's Awakening was excellent, a good updating of the Gameboy Classic. Metroid Dread was absolutely superb, even though it took me a while to finish some of the boss fights. I also finished Elder Scrolls Blades, which I'm not going to say was a great game, but I still enjoyed it and I am proud to say I beat the final boss without paying for a single micro transaction, though I did buy the soundtrack, which makes for good background listening while writing epic fantasy. I keep meaning to play the remake of Metroid Prime, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. The multiplayer games also turned out to be great fun. I started bringing Mario Kart 8 and some controllers to family gatherings. Turns out nearly everyone likes Mario Kart. They say alcohol is a social lubricant, but Mario Kart is almost as effective and results in a lot fewer hangovers, though I do lose at Mario Kart a lot. Additionally, playing the old multiplayer classics like the original Super Mario with someone who appreciates them is always fun. So I think it's safe to say that I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of that Nintendo Switch I bought back in 2019. What's interesting is that the Switch is about 7 years old now as of this recording, which is the eternity in technology terms, yet it's still going strong. Microsoft, Sony, and the PC game market have been locked in an arms race for even more powerful hardware and more detailed graphics. By contrast, the Switch was fairly underpowered even for 2017, when it came out. And while it's been updated a few times in the year since, it's still essentially the same device. Pretty much every phone manufactured in the 2020s is more powerful than the Switch, but Nintendo doesn't seem super interested in rushing into their next console, though the rumor mill has been talking about the Switch Two or the Switch Pro for years. In fact, just a couple of weeks ago they released a Super Mario Wonder for the Nintendo Switch, and it was a huge hit and received universal acclaim on Metacritic. This approach makes sense once you know of Nintendo's philosophy of withered technology. This was a strategy articulated by Nintendo game designer Gunpei Yokoi (and I apologize if I pronounce his name wrong), who called it lateral thinking of withered technology. This philosophy described using mature technology that was well understood and cheaply obtained rather than cutting edge stuff to create unique game experiences different than anything else available. I suspect this is a variant of a philosophy you see among successful people in every field. They rely on the boring but practical methods and combine them in ways to create something unique. Or if you dig into the many successes, you will find that the people behind them stuck to the well established fundamentals but did them really well, and that's what the Switch does, isn't it? It's a unique experience. You can plug it into the dock and play it on your TV or unplug it and use it like a handhole console like a super powered Game Boy. I can play on my couch or take it with me to those family gatherings and plug into the TV for Mario Kart 8. It's an idea that seems incredibly obvious in hindsight, but it really wasn't at the time. Dragontiarna: Knights was my hundredth book in 2019, and my most recent book, Ghost in the Serpent, was 145. Maybe when I hit 150 I should get a Switch OLED model, or the mythical Switch 2, if it is come out by then. So that is it for this week. Thanks for listening to the Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show enjoyable. A reminder that you can listen to all the back episodes on thepulpwritershow.com.

Nintendo was world-famous by the 1980s but the origins of the company go back a century earlier - to September 23rd, 1889, when Fusajiro Yamauchi founded Nintendo Koppai, a maker of brightly-coloured ‘Hanafuda' cards. The hand-painted playing cards, made of mulberry bark, were produced for decades and were a favourite of Yakuza gangsters for use in illegal gambling. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly look into the bizarre businesses with which Nintendo experimented before their pivot into video games; explain how a plastic concertina hand changed the fortunes of the company's toy division; and reveal how the inventor of the Game Boy, Gunpei Yokoi, was on a quest for love… Further Reading: • ‘23 September 1889: Nintendo starts making playing cards' (MoneyWeek, 2020): https://moneyweek.com/349214/23-september-1889-nintendo-starts-making-playing-cards • ‘Nintendo's erotic playing cards' (CNET, 2012): https://www.cnet.com/culture/nintendos-erotic-playing-cards/ • ‘Nintendo Hanafuda Playing Cards Deck Review - Let's open some packs' (Diggo Decks, 2022): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI7u0_sVxTU We'll be back on Monday - unless you join

En este programa estaremos conversando sobre la primera entrega de Super Mario lanzada para Game Boy, titulo que a nivel de contenido dista mucho de todo lo que conocíamos hasta esa fecha, 1989, dentro de la saga, y lo cual tiene que ver con que esta entrega fue desarrollada por un grupo totalmente distinto, mas concretamente por el team conocido como "Nintendo R&D1" liderado por Gunpei Yokoi, creador de la consola Game boy, de ahí que esta juego nos presente un mundo, un villano, sonidos, enemigos y una princesa totalmente nueva. Sin mencionar además que incluso la música (la cual revisaremos a lo largo del programa) también se percibe distinta a entregas anteriores, y la cual en esta ocasión fue compuesta por Hirokazu Tanaka.

TCW Podcast Episode 155 Nintendo Playing With Toys In our final look at Nintendo in the early years, we see the transition into toys and electronic games. Nintendo brought over some popular western games such as Twister in partnership with Milton Bradly. The legendary engineer Gunpei Yokoi invented some of Nintendo's first toys. These toys included; the Ultra Hand, the Ultra Machine, and the Ultra Scope. Nintendo progressed further into electronic entertainment by focusing on light gun technology with photovoltaic cells. The home light gun games were a hit. Nintendo decided to develop a larger version to be used in bowling alleys. However, the oil embargo of the 1970s caused such economic turmoil that most orders were canceled. It is at this point that Nintendo refactored the technology for use in the traditional coin-op space.

To gain clues about the future, it's helpful to look at the past. But if the dominance of mobile, digital, and free-to-play video games in 2021 is anything to go by, the future of video games may be unrecognizable to those of us who grew up blowing into our NES cartridges. But is it all bleak, or can we find some ray of gaming hope in the face of these dark, dystopian days?We'll also be discussing PlayStation's newly patented system for coaching players who have "fallen below a skill threshold," how Square Enix's president already knows you hate NFTs, Ed Boon's blessing on a petition to remake the original Mortal Kombat trilogy, and the wrestler who owns 2,706 copies of the Burger King game Sneak King.Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment.

Nintendo's dominant '80s run on the video game industry produced several hit franchises that remain important today. Metroid might not be a massive juggernaut like Super Mario Bros. or The Legend of Zelda, but it's still an icon of the industry ... and for good reason. In the first season of Game Informer's Video Gameography podcast, we're tackling Metroid. Developed by Nintendo R&D1 and produced by the creator of the Game Boy, Gunpei Yokoi, Metroid thrilled fans with its creative approach to platforming action. While most games gave you a set path to follow, Metroid dropped you into a haunting, alien world and let you freely explore to discover upgrades and ultimately save the universe from biological warfare. Join hosts Ben Reeves (@BenjaminReeves), Marcus Stewart (@MarcusStewart7), and special guest, Game Informer's senior editor Dan Tack (@dantack) for the next hour as we explore Metroid's lore, development history, and lasting impact.

TCW Podcast Episode 134 - Famicom We look at the Family Computer, or the Famicom's development. The state Nintendo was in before they entered into home dedicated consoled, and then explored programable consoles. We look at how the console was developed with the main focus being on cost and quality. The reason behind the use of the MOS 6502 chipset, sourcing ROM chips, and bringing it together into the red package that many love to this day. This is part one of a two part look at the Famicom in Japan!

This episode has nothing to do with Naruto guys, instead Will Returns in time for a special Halloween where James shows evidence that the spiral is god’s signature, as well as share some of his own personal and most frightening experiences in his life. Email: WeAppreciateManga@Gmail.com 057: Junji Ito’s Uzumaki (a.k.a. Spiral) By Junji Ito English Translation by Yuji Oniki Special thanks to @Nirakirameart for today's tribute illustration. Topics: Reminiscent to ‘Final Destination’ where death is quantitative and systematic. What makes it frightening is how you can be aware of its workings yet still be powerless because of concepts like manifest destiny, divine fate and the fact that death is simply a universal force of nature. Or Lovecraft, where the enemy is invisible, the spiral too is a force of nature, it too is universal. The model/actor (a.k.a. star) system, Ito would use the likeness of Uzumaki’s Kirie and Shuichi for Dissolving Classroom’s Keiko and Azeri. (Osamu did this system first) Similarities to the horror of RL Stine and Hino’s Horror manga. Only truly scary story is what happens to Shuichi’s mother, because mental illness = frightening. Other media Videogame for wonderswan (Gunpei Yokoi, sold 3 mill units but only 8% market share.) Curse simulator, you play as an agent of the spiral curse. Gathering items and planting them. Film – directed by Higuchinsky and released in 2000, if you're interested then James recommends you see the movies directed by David Lynch, Shinya Tsukamoto and Hideo Nakata. Animated mini-series 2021 Colin Stetson does the score. (known for his work on Heredetary and Red Dead Redemption 2) Why the spiral? (The golden ratio / Fibonacci sequence) The Fibonacci sequence starts like this: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 and so on forever. Each number is the sum of the two numbers that precede it. It's a simple pattern, but it appears to be a kind of built-in numbering system to the cosmos. It’s the code that nature seems to abide to. And if God was a mathematician, they would favour this code. Sources and Recommended Reading/Watch List: Junji Ito’s Interview with Crunchyroll, talking about the 2021 anime adaptation of Uzumaki. For those interested in the WonderSwan videogame you can watch this video. Super Eyepatch Wolf’s video critique and analysis of the animated ‘Junji Ito Collection’ can be found here. And an example of frame Interpolation is in this video here. ‘The golden ratio and Fibonacci numbers’ by Richard Dunlap can be purchased on Amazon. Synopsis: Set in the seaside town of Kurouzo Cho, Kirie Goshima and her boyfriend Shuichi Saito slowly witness a sinister force plague their town. At first Shuichi’s father becomes obsessed about spirals. His obsession leads towards his death and afterwards Shuichi’s mother is quick to succumb to what Shuichi refers to as “the curse of the spiral”. Shuichi Saito’s father loved all things spiral related, his mother, starts to fear all things spiral related. Soon Shuichi is orphaned and becomes a recluse. Although as the spiral curse causes many episodes of horror Shuichi is still available when Kirie needs him most. These episodes include souls imprisoned within pottery, Kirie’s spiralling hair having a parasitic mind of its own, schoolboys turning into snails as if they were infected with a virus and a deadly light house. During these episodes, Shuichi protects Kirie from a sentient hurricane, however as part of the spiral curse the town becomes a magnet to hurricanes and sink holes, sending kurouzo Cho into a wasteland that isolates its residents. The residents are only safe inside the old row houses, which remain oddly immune to the malevolent elements. And when overcrowding becomes an issue, Kirie and Shuichi set out to escape. Unfortunately they become lost in the woods, when they spiral back into the town they planned to leave, they find that they have been in a time vortex and what seemed like a short time in the woods has been years past for Kurouzo Cho, on their return the row houses have become extended and formed into a spiral building. Essentially one long spiralling house, this leads into a well like chasm where the lake once existed but is now dried up. It’s the centre of the spiral that Kirie and Shuichi find themselves drawn towards, and where ultimately their fate is sealed.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we talk about the interesting history and massive success of the Japanese gaming giant Nintendo (and we might just look at little red plumber who jumps on psychedelic mushrooms and hides in pipes while we’re at it). Nintendo didn’t start like you think it did. Well, if you thought it started a hundred and twenty years ago by printing playing cards on tree bark for Yakuza gambling dens, then you thought right. From there, a maintenance man named Gunpei Yokoi was discovered to have created a toy to keep himself entertained at work, and the company president happened to see it. This became a massive success called the Ultra Hand and sold millions of units. Nintendo was officially in the toy biz. Yokoi developed several hit toys, including the hugely successful Game Watch, which was the engineering and spiritual successor to the Game Boy. But everything changed when a game designer named Shigeru Miyamoto created the game Donkey Kong with its popular hero Jumpman. Ultimately, renamed Mario, he went on to the best the star of the show for Nintendo, headlining every game system, creating a (horrible) 80s TV show, and becoming the first of many icons for Nintendo. Their systems ranged in ability and success from the Famicon (aka the Nintendo Entertainment System or NES) to the SNES, N64, Wii, Game Cube, and of the course different generations of the Game Boy, all culminating in the Switch. Nintendo found success by always doing exactly what other video game companies did not do. It even survived the video game crash of 1983 that destroyed world-leader Atari. They also clung to their intellectual property and used them very wisely: Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Princess Peach, Zelda, Link, Metroid, Mario Kart, Smash Brothers, Animal Crossing, and more. They all have been substantial successes for this little upstart card company from Japan.

I speak to Kelsey Lewin, a video game historian and collector, retro games store owner, and self-proclaimed Wonderswan enthusiast, about the challenges — and also the merits — of researching and archiving the artefacts connected to games development and culture, both past and present. She also shares her insights on how the growth in retro gaming helps fuel interest in games history, why some of the most interesting stories are far beyond the typical narratives of games history, what quirky things we can find when looking into the Wonderswan and its inventor, the famed Game Boy hardware designer Gunpei Yokoi, and much more. Kelsey co-directs the https://gamehistory.org/ (Video Game History Foundation) with Frank Cifaldi, where the two of them have been doing amazing work in preserving and archiving the artefacts of games development and culture — not so much the games themselves, but rather more the packaging and documentation, the source code, the marketing materials, the magazines, etc. And she also co-owns Pink Gorilla Games, a retro games store located in Seattle. This is the fifth entry in a new series of interviews I'm running alongside the main show — every month(ish) I'll talk to a different person who's exploring games history, in one way or another, to learn about the many ways people are preserving the games industry's past as well as to further our understanding of how this wonderful medium (and the industry that's built around it) has come to be the way it is now.

Having explored the span of the Virtual Boy's library, let's now create a little context for its existence. There's more to this curious little system than the fact that it bombed at retail and Nintendo cut its life short. It represents designer Gunpei Yokoi's passion for interesting applications for affordable technology, prefigured some game industry design standards, and presented a remarkably solid library of software. Was Virtual Boy flawed? Absolutely. But that doesn't mean it's not worth experiencing, or remembering.

Außerdem wagen wir einen Blick hinter den Vorhang und nehmen den Werdegang von Gunpei Yokoi und Satoru Okada (R&D1), die Macher hinter dem 2D-Jump'n'Run-Klassiker unter die (Game-Boy-)Lupe (mit Licht!). Zudem besprechen wir die Zusammenhänge mit dem erfolgreichen Launch des Nintendo Game Boy sowie schwenken hin und wieder auf die illustere Unternehmensgeschichte von Nintendo selbst. Dazu gibt es wie von uns gewohnt auch wieder einen Blumenstrauß stumpfer hessischer Gags sowie die ein oder andere persönliche Anekdoten auf die Ohren. Vielen Dank an dieser Stelle auch noch einmal an Sascha, der sich die Zeit genommen hat uns bei unserem kleinen Experiment unterstützt hat. Da es 'mal wieder drunter und drüber ging, macht ein klassisches Inhaltsverzeichnis an dieser Stelle einfach keinen Sinn. Sorry dafür ;) In diesem Sinne, viel Spaß mit 'Super Mario Land (Interlude 5)'! Eure Eskapisten, Daniel und Sascha (und Markus und Lukas) Wir freuen uns natürlich riesig über Feedback, Kritik und Anregungen auf https://www.facebook.com/dieEskapisten/ ! Vielen lieben Dank für's Anhören und euren Support! Folge direkt herunterladen

Internal commentary for the potential song title "Yar's Revenge Designer Howard Scott Warshaw Slam Dunks A Football" by The Flowers of Disgust appears here courtesy of The Flowers of Disgust: The football was innovative yet enigmatic. | HSW is in my view the most important pre-NES Era game designer from a creative standpoint, and I include Al Alcorn in this statement. | pre-NES or pre-Miyamoto? | Is there really a difference? I mean yes, I suppose you could date a so-called "Miyamoto Era" from the time he joined Nintendo in 1977, or maybe with his creation of Donkey Kong in 1981, but I really don't think this is what people normally think of when they think of Miyamoto's influence from a game design standpoint (Not to mention such a designation would completely ignore the meaningful contributions of Gunpei Yokoi, who was essentially Miyamoto's mentor on the project). While no serious person would claim Donkey Kong itself isn't historically significant, the game itself doesn't hold a candle to the likes of Super Mario Bros. or Zelda in terms of actual influence on the direction of video game design. In many areas DK is much more derivative than it is innovative, from its characters and plot (cribbed from King Kong and Popeye, among others) to its gameplay (which owes a lot more than is generally recognized to earlier titles such as Space Panic and Crazy Climber). What I think is actually the more important thing to recognize about Donkey Kong is the story of its development, from the last ditch effort to recoup the sunk costs of the Radar scope debacle to Hiroshi Yamauchi's decision to entrust NOA's future in the harebrained schemes of one low-level engineer -- and the lucky accident of its sucess. It's this spirit of throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks that continues to drive most of Nintendo's successes to this day. So in summary I would say that although Miyamoto's pre-NES work certainly represents an auspicious beginning to his career as a designer, he did not achieve greatness (nor his corresponding industry "rock star" status) until his later work for the NES/Famicom, which likewise did not become a true worldwide phenomenon until the successes of SMB and Zelda, among others. This is why I would argue that to say "Pre-Miyamoto" is essentially the same thing as saying "Pre-NES" from a periodizational perspective, which is the implicit perspective of all of our song titles and commentary. | Have you played "Space Panic"? That game SUUUUUUCKS! | No, but I did play Crazy Climber on an original cabinet last week, and the control scheme is pretty fascinating. There are two joysticks that have to be alternated simultaneously up and down to simulate (more or leass) the physical act of climbing. Takes some getting used to but it's really quite clever. | To me the important thing about Miyamoto isn't any particular game feature or innovation that he invented. The genius of Myamoto is really his ability to take an existing genre and carefully refine it so that it becomes more "fun". Hence, Donkey Kong is way more "fun" than Space Panic. Even though, through a certain narrow lens, Space Panic might be more "innovative", Donkey Kong is really a much more important game in the history of the genre. To go back to your original statement, I guess I think the central questions is: what do you mean by "from a creative standpoint"? I wonder if you aren't defining "creativity" a bit too narrowly when you dismiss Miyamoto's early arcade work. | Sure, that's probably a valid criticism. And I do agree with you in regards to Miyamoto's penchant for refining the innovations of others, and of course the "fun" factor remains something that is poorly understood to this day (On this particular point I would recommend Curtiss Murphy's excellent blog and podcast "Game Design Zen", especially his hugely insightful visual representation of what he and others term 'flow' which can be found in the post for episode 2). I just think if you're going to be so reductive as to say, "This here is 'The Miyamoto Era'" (and though you didn't use that exact term I think it's fair to say it's implied by your use of 'Pre-Miyamoto' as a delineator) then it makes far more sense to designate his work on the Family Computer as the herald of that era because, again, it was not until that point that he became an icon. It was not until that point that he did his most important, most innovative, and most influential work. It was not until that point that he fully emerged from the shadows of Yokoi et al. to finally wield complete control over what I would without hesitation call the Gesamtkunstwerk of SMB and Zelda. Donkey Kong is a landmark in the history of Nintendo, surely, but in the story of Miyamoto's development, it is mere prologue. | What?? | Please explain to which element(s) of the preceeding your query is referring. | Objectively speaking, I think the original Donkey Kong is probably more significant than Yar's Revenge in terms of it's impact, though admittedly, without defining precisely what we mean by 'significant', this is basically a nonsensical statement. With regards to fun, I think it's all well and good to explore the concept of "fun" on a objective/theoretical level. "Fun" may indeed be a wooly concept that, from a game-design perspective, is tricky to define in a purely reductive sense. HOWEVER we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that in our subjective experience as players-of-games, it is all too easy to identify when a game is "fun". One is reminded of the famous line by Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart, "I know it when I see it". Stewart of course, was referring to pornography, but it is equally applicable in this case. I can't tell you precisely what makes a game fun, but I know whether a game is fun or not when I play it. I will look this Curtiss Murphy gentleman though, as this does seem an interesting topic. | When did I ever say that Yar's Revenge was "more significant" than Donkey Kong "in terms of it's [sic] impact"? My original statement was focused solely on creativity of design, and did not reference DK at all. I freely concede that DK was more impactful than YR; I'm simply stating an opinion about Howard Scott Warshaw's artistic chops. At the risk of going off on a tangent, let's draw on, as an analogy, a comparison between Pong and Computer Space, Nolan Bushnell's prior effort from the previous year. Now I'm sure as hell not going to say Pong is poorly designed (the hallmark of good design often being simplicity, which is its own rabbit hole...), but what I will say is that Computer Space is a way more interesting game, at least considered intrinsically. While simple by today's standards, it failed essentially because it was designed and playtested exclusively by engineers and mathematicians, and hence was too confusing for the average n00b to grasp. I think there's room to argue which game is 'better' from a creative standpoint, but we should absolutely not make the mistake of saying Pong is artistically better than Computer Space specifically because of the former's relative success. Now, with regard to your rather confusing citation of Potter Stewart (who always makes me think of (Jimmy) Stewart's nemesis Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life), I'm not certain what point you are trying to get across. Potter Stewart's statement is generally not quoted earnestly even by anti-pornography activitsts these days; are you reappropriating it into the arena of fun in video games in an effort to genuinely endorse the concept of subconscious objective identification as a process, or are you making a wry, pithy critique of modern gamers' fickleness/proclivity to rush to judgement? I am reacting specifically to your statement "...in our subjective experience as players-of-games, it is all too easy to identify when a game is 'fun'." [Empahsis added]. It seems like you are implying in this first part of your argument that we are making a mistake when we rely on our gut instincts when engaging in video game criticism, but then you go on to, it would seem, essentially endorse the Potter Stewart approach immediately thereafter. Could you clarify, please? | To clarify, I am endorsing the view of "fun" as something that we should generally trust our guts on, even though it is difficult to define in a reductive sense. In that quote, I should not have said "all too easy", but rather just "really fucking easy". Likewise I think Potter's statement re:pornography is in most cases correct, though I'll concede that it really doesn't lend itself to any concrete legislation–certainly not any good legislation. Re: HSW, Yar's Revenge, Donkey Kong etc… I think essentially we are struggling with different ideas about what "creativity" is, what it means for something to be "important" and certainly what it means for something to be "important from a creative standpoint". You seem to be endorsing the view that a game can be "important from a creative standpoint" when it is interesting but shitty. If you think "creativity" is really just about doing something "original" or "new", being the "first" to do some particular thing, then I guess that's a reasonable statement to make. I tend to take a more holistic view of creativity myself, put more emphasis on the overall artistic vision, and the execution thereof. | And I'm not necessarily disagreeing with most of that, I'm simply drawing a distinction between creative success (or artistic success, if you prefer) and commercial success. Frankly, I don't know what you're talking about when refer to something being "interesting but shitty"; are you saying Yar's Revenge is shitty?? Or are you referring to Computer Space/Pong/Crazy Climber/Space Panic? I'd say Space Panic is the only one of those you could credibly claim to believe is shitty, but for the sake of argument I'd say that yes, something can be interesting even if it is shitty. However I do concede it most probably can't be "important from a creative standpoint", at least in the sense that I employ that phrase (that it has exerts a lasting influence on at least some significant subset of game design). In this sense I think it's laughable to say that Yar's Revenge is not significant. If you look at HSW's body of work it seems to be his most fondly remembered game (or at least tied with Raiders) and he is easily the most celebrated Atari designer from that time period. | Yars' Revenge is ok I guess. It's certainly quirky, and I could see how people might have found it fun. If we're talking about single-screen space shootin' games i'd definitely take Robotron 2084 over it any day of the week. "Raiders", OTOH, seems completely unplayable and cryptic. I think people probably like to talk about the importance of Raiders because (like "Adventure") it seems kinda like a proto-adventure-game or proto-metroidvania thing. Fair enough I guess. Again, for my part, I'm less concerned with who "came up with" these ideas "first", and I'm more interested in who made games that were actually fun to play. When I look at "Raiders" I see a game whose designer was over ambitious and didn't really understand the limitations of the platform for which he was designing… an interesting failure at best. That's better than an uninsteresting failure, but not exactly the hallmark of a great game-designer IMO. Again, if all you care about is who was first-to-market with some particular "innovation", then sure HSW is your man.| That's all well and good, and such reductionism would be fine if we could all agree on an objective classification of what constitutes "fun", which is in my esitmation a fool's errand. However, since we are prisoners of our own predilections in taste, we cannot make a consistent, quantifiable analysis of any game unless we make the effort to subsume our subjective reaction underneath at least a veneer of cold, logical, data-driven criticism. Of COURSE it matters that we find a game "fun", but without the wisdom that comes from patient, comparative study of the titles that comprise its various peers, antecedents and imitators, and without appraisal given to the personalities and forces behind its genesis, our analysis is doomed to be incomplete. I'm not by any means saying that innovation is the only important thing to focus on, but I am fascinated by it because I yearn to gain a deeper understanding of how things developed and where they are likely to go in the future. That's what keeps me getting up in the morning, at least from a video gaming standpoint. | I prefer to think of my "fun" benchmark as more holistic than reductive. | Sure, and Id preferto be having sex with Scarlet Johanson, but that doesn't mean it's the case. | Zing! | Agreed. I think we're done here. Today's strip
