fWotD Episode 2949: Namco Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 1 June 2025, is Namco.Namco Limited was a Japanese multinational video game and entertainment company founded in 1955 which operated video arcades and amusement parks globally, produced video games, films, toys, and arcade cabinets. They were one of the most influential figures in the worldwide coin-op and arcade game industry; Namco produced several multi-million-selling game franchises, such as Pac-Man, Galaxian, Tekken, Tales, Ridge Racer, and Ace Combat. In 2006, Namco merged with Bandai to form what is now named Bandai Namco Holdings; the standalone Namco brand continues to be used for video arcade and other entertainment products by the group's Bandai Namco Amusements division.The Namco name comes from Nakamura Manufacturing Company, derived from its founder Masaya Nakamura. In the 1960s, it manufactured electro-mechanical arcade games such as the 1965 hit Periscope. It entered the video game industry after acquiring the struggling Japanese division of Atari in 1974, distributing games such as Breakout in Japan. The company renamed itself Namco in 1977 and published Gee Bee, its first original video game, a year later. Among Namco's first major hits was the fixed shooter Galaxian in 1979. It was followed by Pac-Man in 1980. Namco prospered during the golden age of arcade video games in the early 1980s, releasing popular titles such as Galaga, Xevious, and Pole Position.Namco entered the home market in 1984 with conversions of its arcade games for the MSX and the Nintendo Family Computer, later expanding to competing platforms, such as the Sega Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, and PlayStation. Namco continued to produce hit games in the 1990s, including Ridge Racer, Tekken, and Taiko no Tatsujin, but later endured financial difficulties due to the struggling Japanese economy and diminishing arcade market. This led to the 2005 announcement of a merge with toy maker Bandai, which was completed in 2006 as Namco Bandai Holdings; Namco's former video games division was merged into a subsidiary of the holdings company, Namco Bandai Games, now called Bandai Namco Entertainment. Namco is remembered in retrospect for its unique corporate model, its importance to the industry, and its advancements in technology.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:51 UTC on Sunday, 1 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Namco on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

General Computer made the game as a modification kit for the original Pac-Man, titled Crazy Otto. However, due to previous legal action with Atari, GCC was forced to present the project to Midway, the North American distributor of Pac-Man. Midway purchased the project and enlisted GCC to use the game as a basis for the sequel to Pac-Man. Multiple names were considered for the game, including Miss Pac-Man and Mrs. Pac-Man, before the final name was chosen for being easier to pronounce. While development had started without Namco's consent, company president Masaya Nakamura was brought in and provided feedback on the player character's design. The company ultimately collected the same royalties on each cabinet as they had with Pac-Man.

Biomedical researchers have long sought ways to repair spinal cord damage with the holy grail of the pursuit being the reconstitution of lost function. In the mid 1990's with the successful culture of human embryonic stem cells, and about a decade later induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), the field was energized with a potential new approach to replace the lost neurons and glia cells and restoring neural connections.  In the decades since that discovery some progress has been made, however many hurdles remain, including establishing a functional synaptic connection between the transplanted and host neurons which is crucial for motor function recovery. To boost therapeutic outcomes our guests tested an ex vivo gene therapy to promote synapse formation between the donor and host neurons by expressing the synthetic excitatory synapse organizer CPTX in hiPSCs-derived neural stem and progenitor cells. Tune in to learn what they discovered.

Billy Mitchell is the Video Game Player of the Century, the first to achieve a perfect score of 3,333,360 points on the original Pac-Man arcade game, the original high score record-holder on Donkey Kong, and the subject of the 2007 documentary, “The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters.” He shares the illustrious story of his famed video game career including what inspired him to start playing Donkey Kong specifically, how he got hooked on Pac-Man, why he was determined to beat both games, and how drastically things changed after he was featured in a Life magazine photo spread of video game champions during the height of the golden age of arcade video game in the 80s. He talks about Steve Weibe, Twin Galaxies, reclaiming his gaming records, meeting Namco founder Masaya Nakamura, and video gaming culture then and now. STAY CONNECTED:TikTok: @ChrisJerichoInstagram: @talkisjericho @chrisjerichofozzy Twitter: @TalkIsJericho @IAmJerichoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisJerichoFozzyWebsite: https://www.webisjericho.com/

On est de retour, avec tit0urs pour remplacer notre Belge déchu et Quenton sans son perroquet. Un perroquet qui ne parle jamais sauf pour imiter le rire de Damien, ancien chroniqueur de CVT également. Quand on pense à tous ceux qui sont passés par là, tous ces "petits anges partis trop tôt", les bons, ceux qu'on regrette moins... Enfin l'honneur est sauf car dans tous ceux-là, pas un seul bamboula ! C'est bien la preuvre que, comme le dirait Luc Poignant, le chargé de communication du syndicat Unité SGP Police, CVT "ça reste encore très convenable". A vous de juger. Rappelez-vous quand même que, "ce qui compte, c'est pas la chute, c'est l'atterrissage". Ce numéro vous propose de faire un gros tour de l'actualité passée ce dernier mois, mais aussi une rubrique Twitter par Nemo, un générique décortiqué par Shutan, quelques trouvailles musicales de Randall et un quiz préparé avec amour par tit0urs (et tous ses amis d'Internet, comme dirait GiedRé). On se retrouve le 15 Mars si d'ici-là aucun coup de matraque ni de pavé ne nous en empêche. Bonne écoute !

This week, the Trophy Whores share sad news: Masaya Nakamura, who founded Namco, has passed...

The death of Namco founder Masaya Nakamura brings us memories of Pac Man and childhood woes

Masaya Nakamura, the "Father of Pac-Man" has died at 91. Nakamura founded Namco (now Bandai Namco) in 1955. It started out as just two mechanical horse rides on a department store rooftop but went on to pioneer game arcades and amusement parks. Pac-Man went on sale in 1980, and became a huge hit notable for being non-violent but just challenging enough to hook players in for hours. Nakamura reportedly chose the word "Pac," or "pakku" in Japanese, to represent the sound of the Pac-Man munching its prey. Nakamura was a key player in Bandai Namco's global growth with other game series' like the driving simulator "Ridge Racer." His pet saying was that his company delivered varied and total entertainment. He took pride in having fun and games for his job. The company reported Nakamura's death but would not comment on its cause or other personal details, citing his family's wishes.
