Podcasts about Tecmo

We are back with the final edition of The Nielson Show of the week. We start off the show like we always do by recapping everyone's nights. Dusty told us and the nasties about his son's ball game from last night! And YTT shared how awesome the tailgate was!   It was then time for Morning Announcements presented by 100.3 The Bear to recap some sport from last night. We touched on yesterday's all time Tecmo game between Hernan and Uke and a game seven will be had in the NBA!   After the first sports update, we dove right into last night's Elks loss. What happened?   We finished off hour one by Cracking Some Packs presented by Wayne's Sports Cards a& Collectables! The CFL season is upon us, which is exactly what we cracked!

"Fighting VideoLAMES" continues with a look at the adaptation of Tecmo's Dead or Alive video game franchise. The games, about an international martial arts tournament put on by a mysterious, potentially sinister corporation, are known not only for their fast-paced hand-to-hand combat and colorful roster of characters, but also for their focus on beautiful, badass female characters and, controversially, the "jiggle physics" animation that is used to bring them to life (most infamously seen in the Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball spinoff). The 2006 cinematic adaptation, helmed by Hong Kong martial arts film legend Corey Yuen, looked to embrace the same outlandish, silly, and sexy spirit as the games. But this begs the question; is the resultant film ultimately more exploitative than exciting? We knew we couldn't (shouldn't?) try to answer this question alone, so for this discussion, we've recruited an actual woman (gasp!) to join in the fun. That's right, our friend Jackie returns to F2F to discuss her own experience with video games (and their sometimes heavily gendered nature), before we all dive in dissect DOA: Dead or Alive, in what is, surprisingly, our biggest episode yet!

TCW Podcast Episode 235- Coin-op Legends of Japan   Long before they entered the world of video games, a generation of Japanese entrepreneurs built their fortunes in the coin-operated amusement business. In this episode, we trace the early lives and business ventures of five pioneering founders who helped lay the groundwork for companies like Tehkan (later Tecmo), Sammy, and IPM (later IREM). These are personal stories rarely told in English — tales of hustle, reinvention, and the road from postwar struggle to arcade success.   TCW 052 - The Many Faces of Konami: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-many-faces-of-konami/ TCW 153 - Nintendo Playing With Cards: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/nintendo-playing-with-cards/ TCW 154 - Nintendo Playing with Controversy: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/nintendo-playing-with-controversy/ TCW 155 - Nintendo Playing With Toys: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/nintendo-playing-with-toys/ TCW  008 - Birth of the Japanese Game Center: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/birth-of-the-japanese-game-center/ TCW 077 - Invading Taito Part 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/invading-taito-part-1/ TCW 078 - Invading Taito Part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/invading-taito-part-2/ TCW 005 - The Untold History of SEGA: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-untold-history-of-sega/ TCW 033 - The Saga of SEGA: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-saga-of-sega/ TCW 029 - 50 Years of Namco: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/50-years-of-namco/ TCW 201 - Advanced Balls and Paddles Part 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/advanced-balls-and-paddles-part-1/ TCW 202 - Advanced Balls and Paddles Part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/advanced-balls-and-paddles-part-2/ New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

We are locked and loaded for another jam packed show right here on The Nielson Show! The fellas start off with plenty of Leafs talk as in typical Leafs fashion, they leave the playoffs with another dramatic exit… the boy's discussed what's next for this team organization.   Like we always do, Morning Announcements from 100.3 The Bear was the first segment we hit on today's show. We discussed some Tecmo… then transitioned to some CFL preseason and plenty of NHL recap.   After the first sports update, we dove right into The Fan Zone to discuss some predictions in the Oilers & Stars series. We also did a nerve check for the nasties…   To finish off hour one, we got right into The Good, Bad & Ugly presented by The Seven Eighty.

Hey Retro Fans!

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I decided to kick it old school and do a VGM podcast about one of my favorite video game series, Ninja Gaiden. This fast-paced side-scroller had some of my fondest memories with my friends and my brother Tom. Ninja Gaiden wasn't a joke, as many of us who played it knew, but what kept us playing was the soundtrack. All three games could definitely fit into the break beats category, which is the style of music a lot of my DJ friends play. This episode is definitely full of octane from the front to back with a few surprises along the way. It's time to buckle up and get ready for one of the craziest rides you'll go on this year. Have a great day, everyone, and may the VGM be with you.Thank you for the support and contributions all of you make for my podcasts and articles each week.

Avec le boom de la technologie de la 3D en 2000 et l'arrivée de Dead or Alive 2 en occident sur PS2. Dead or Alive est devenu ultra populaire grâce à sa mécanique de gameplay ultra efficace et aussi la possibilité de jerter ses adversaires hors du ring pour continuer le combat sur un autre terrain. Mais l'autre petit point de sa popularité et de sa spécificité, le jeu a pris la tournure du soft porn afin de se différencier de ses concurrents avec des combattantes armées de 90D et une taille 34, quitte à justement devenir une pointe dans le domaine en développant un moteur 3D spécifiquement pour le mouvement des seins selon les actions des combattantes. Une feature qui va donner l'idée à un spin off Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball qui mettra en avant les héroïnes du jeu en bikini dans des matchs de volley endiablé entrecoupé de mini-jeu avec des plans caméra assez évocateurs.Et c'est à ce moment là, pendant la vague des années 2000 des adaptations de jeu vidéo au cinéma qu'un conglomérat de producteur se dit que ça serait quand même intéressant de développer cette licence au grand écran, mélanger le film de baston et les belles meufs, sur le papier, excellente idée. Le résultat ? Personne n'a aimé, ni vraiment vu le film, qui sera balancé aux oubliettesA l'image de son créateur libidineux Tomonobu Itagaki qui sera rétrogradé dans la hiérarchie suite à des accusations d'agressions sexuelles, le jeu tombera au fur et à mesure dans l'oubli même si une tranche minime de joueurs essayent de tenir avec le dernier volet sorti en 2019Le film quand à lui ne passera pas les années 2010 non plus, malgré une réédition Blu-Ray. Souvent considéré comme étant le pire film de tous les temps selon les gros nazes d'internet et notamment le vidéaste Karim Debbache qui l'a vendu à un public de trépané comme la pire des merdes.

There are videogame remakes and there are videogame reimaginings, and it's clear Shadow of the Ninja - Reborn falls into the latter, triumphantly so. Released back in 1990 on the NES, the original Shadow of the Ninja played like a cross between Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden and Konami's Castlevania, a straightforward action platform with heavy emphasis on precise attacks and jumping.

“Any objections, Lady?” The infamous odd-one out. Nintendo SPD collaborated with Tecmo's Team Ninja for the Wii-exclusive follow-up to the Prime trilogy, with results that weren't greeted entirely enthusiastically by press or punters alike. Leon, Chris Worthington, Leah, Rich and community correspondents get to grips with Metroid: Other M - its quirky cameras and unintuitive interface, and perhaps most controversially, its character-changing portrayal of series hero, Samus Aran. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_629.mp3   Music featured in this issue:1.

They're giving scholarships to influencers!?   Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they consider changing their careers to become pro gamers. Is posting on instagram a real job? Of course it is! And apparently colleges are starting to catch on by giving social media influencers scholarships. They also found out this week that private schools are finally starting to become more obtainable for families in Florida, but is that even a good thing? You know, when we were kids video games were a lot simpler, but we've come a long way from cheating by picking Bo Jackson in Tecmo bowl. When you think about it, the gaming industry has grown almost enough to be bigger than the movie industry, so why aren't we encouraging students from pursuing a career in pro gaming?     Being an influencer is the newest and best form of marketing today, and people are starting to catch on. They are now apparently giving scholarships to influencers at Western Government University to study how to become a better influencer. Seriously, where was this when we were going to college!?   This week we have some great news for our listeners in Florida! Governor DeSantis passed a new bill that's going to award $8,000 to anyone who wants to put their kids into private schools! This is great news for parents, almost a little too great, what's the catch here?

We -- the Brothers Moriarty -- loved us some Ninja Gaiden in our younger years. The NES original is actually a vague reinterpretation of an arcade title by the same name that preceded it; yet, in turning Ninja Gaiden from a beat-'em-up into an action-platformer, developer Tecmo spawned a powerhouse that easily rivals other late-'80s classics. Indeed, it belongs in the conversation of best NES games, full-stop. Our investigation into Ryu Hayabusa's retro adventure doesn't only end with the first game, though, as we explore its contemporaries on the market and wax poetic about the heyday of the fictional ninja in greater media, and how Ninja Gaiden's deeply-told story gave us context, perhaps for the first time in our then-young lives, into the deeper potential of video games.
