Yakuza
In the early 2000s, Sega developer Toshihiro Nagoshi had an idea for a game. He had been working on arcade hits and cult favorites for the company for years, including a stint as director for the Super Monkey Ball series. He had to fight for it, even sneaking in a reel during a meeting with a then CEO, but eventually got to get a team he was leading to bring an idea he had to life. That idea was Ryu ga Gotoku, or Like A Dragon, localized as Yakuza initially for the west. It was to be something aimed specifically at adult Japanese men, taking inspiration from crime dramas, and most likely some Shenmue DNA from Nagoshi’s time on the first game in its final six months of development. An RPG and beat-em-up hybrid, with a world to explore, but one very familiar to the target audience.

TWITCH VOD: I play Nintendo's Only Space shooter! :D
A number of years ago, I encountered a loose cartridge in a display case at a pawn shop for a Game Boy game called "SolarStriker", that I never heard of.
Even with nothing but the cartridge art to go off of, everything about the game struck me as being, as I thought in that moment, "charmingly generic".
And without bothering to look up anything else about the game, or even testing it to see if it worked, it sat in my shoebox full of loose GameBoy cartridges for five years, always on the fringes of my attention as that "charmingly generic" looking cartridge I got at the pawn shop that I was bound to love whenever I got to playing it. Someday.
Then, by accident, I ended up stumbling across the fact that SolarStriker was a R&D1 codeveloped title with Gunpei Yokoi involved, and the only shooter of this type to be developed and published within Nintendo, unless other examples can be suggested.
I finally demonstrated it on my show recently and pulled up some period era literature about the game.
For someone like me who genuinely likes 'sensory deprivation' games like, "Space Slalom" on Sega SG 1000, "NES Pinball" and "Alleyway", "SolarStriker" is a comparative AV extravaganza, and a title that fits in that early Game Boy era where Nintendo seemed unsure of how ambitious they wanted to get with Game Boy and whether or not this was just a supercharged Game & Watch with cartridges.
I wonder if it's co-development by Inakuchi Engineering lead to some sort of copyright problems where Nintendo wasn't free to re-issue the game digitally, as from what I've seen, this game's official availability is exclusive to its original print run.
It has cool music and progressive theming with the stage backgrounds, but its also the sort of title that even "retro games" would likely find to be a snooze fest.
Game Boy was the first Nintendo system I owned in the 90's, even prior to the release of Game Boy Pocket, and I've considered myself especially interested in its early history.
For "SolarStriker" to have slipped by me all these decades, to the point where I specifically added the title to my collection, all while I had no idea of its (minor) significance, was eye-opening indeed.

Retro Controllers
Atari 2600 Joystick:
The Atari 2600 joystick is a simple one-button controller with an analog stick for directional input. It was iconic for its time, featuring a single fire button and a sturdy joystick for classic arcade-style gaming.
While revolutionary in its day, the joystick may feel less comfortable by modern standards, especially for extended gaming sessions due to its simple design and lack of ergonomic considerations.
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) Controller:
The NES controller is a rectangular-shaped device featuring a D-pad for directional input, A and B buttons for action, and Start and Select buttons. It set a standard for future controllers with its intuitive layout.
The NES controller is relatively comfortable for its time, fitting well in the hands. However, it lacks features like shoulder buttons and ergonomic contours seen in modern controllers.
Sega Genesis 6-Button Controller:
The Sega Genesis controller evolved from its 3-button predecessor, adding three additional buttons (X, Y, and Z) to accommodate more complex games. It also featured a D-pad and the familiar A, B, and C buttons.
The 6-button controller improved gameplay flexibility and was reasonably comfortable, but its design might feel less ergonomic compared to modern controllers.
Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) Controller:
The SNES controller introduced shoulder buttons (L and R) in addition to the A, B, X, and Y face buttons and a D-pad. Its ergonomic design and button layout set the stage for many future controllers.
The SNES controller is considered comfortable, with its rounded edges and well-placed buttons. The addition of shoulder buttons allowed for more gameplay possibilities.
Sony PlayStation DualShock Controller (PS1/PS2 era):
The original PlayStation DualShock controller introduced dual analog sticks, the iconic triangle, circle, cross, and square buttons, as well as L1, L2, R1, and R2 shoulder buttons. It also included vibration feedback.
The DualShock controller marked a significant improvement in comfort with its ergonomic design, thumbstick placement, and additional features. It set a standard for future PlayStation controllers.

Ranking gaming generations
Yes I stole this idea from This Is.
TW: Your favorite generation may be F tier. This may make you rage. If you think you can't handle is here's your out. I do not want to see pissed off replies here. I have RSD dammit.
First generation: C tier I know almost nothing about this generation. All I know is that it was the founding generation of gaming. And I know that BECAUSE IT’S THE FIRST GENERATION. So, I’m gonna place it in C purely cause I can’t figure out how much the pros of being a revolution outweighs the limitations games has at the time
Second generation: F tier This is unfair as I also know very little about this one too. And all I have to go by is the god damn controller of the Atari which for some reason locks up and becomes unmovable whenever someone with a name that begins with R touches it. Or something. Can’t rate games if I can’t play them. Something something cartridges yeah whatever stupid controller.
Third generation: B tier This is the one with the NES if you didn’t know. And also, if you didn't know… That was kinda a big deal. I’m not terribly fond of this generation but I will admit if it weren’t for this generation… I may not even be aware of what’s a huge part of my life today.
Fourth generation: C tier I initially had this in D tier, but I brought it up one ranking once I remembered that this was the Game Boy’s debut. I’ve always loved handheld gaming more than TV gaming. I could probably actually get by with a Switch lite. But I can’t bring it too much higher cause what else is there to talk about during this generation outside of the Genesis / Mega Drive?
Fifth generation: A tier Ah, here’s where I come in. The Nintendo 64, PS1 and Sega Saturn. Tho I know next to nothing about the Sega Saturn, there’s no denying that the other two were out there making history. I may have born into this generation but honestly. I wouldn’t have minded being just a bit older to allow me to immerse myself in this generation more. Sixth generation: S tier As you’ve noticed I’m really letting nostalgia doing the talking here. Like I’m not basing these off of any concrete evidence, I just rank the ones I know well higher. Typical. Anyway, this is the first of the 2 oddballs of gaming generations. And you all know how much I love weird. I had loads of fun with not only the Gamecube and GBA, but also the PS2 and its array of movement games. I forget what the camera accessory that came with it was called but that was awesome. And it definitely paved the way for…
Seventh generation: S tier The Wii, the Kinect, and that silly Wii remote knockoff by Sony. Regardless, this was truly the movement generation. Definitely the second of the 2 generational oddballs. But gosh darn did I have fun with it. I can name so many games that I played religiously on the Wii. But let’s not forget the DS, which was also a huuuuuge part of my life. So much so that I’ve got my eye on some second hand DS games even today. That’s how you know you’ve done a generation right.
Eighth generation: D tier This is the one with the Wii U, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One. Microsoft in typical Microsoft fashion was making some dumb decisions which led to the ridicule of the Xbox One. But what Sony and Nintendo wasn’t any better. The PS4, although undeniably the most popular of the 3… Was kinda underwhelming, Nintendo was in trouble after the release of the Wii U so hurried to make the Wii U U (Aka Switch) and just generally things were slowing down. Technology was no longer improving at the same rate as before so there was not much going on here. Kinda a dark era of gaming now I think about it. This is also around the time Nintendo started to get… Unpleasant. Ninth generation: A tier. I hate this generation so much. It’s the same AAA games over and over again. Companies buying other companies instead of making games, Nintendo had gone full Nintendo. Gender politics wars everywhere you looked. Games broken upon release. Price increase to 70. FPS being the pinnacle of innovation. People stopped caring and started raging. It’s no longer about having fun. It’s a mess. But Steam Deck so that makes it A tier.

Ghostbusters multiverse in brief
Before the MCU started pouring millions in tropes that should have remained within the bounds of comic book publications, IDW did a decent job at fitting most incarnations of the Ghostbusters (and then some) in a somewhat coherent multiverse.
Unfortunately, the Wiki doesn’t provide a proper table with every dimension that has been featured in the series, so I’m making my own list.
Featured in Crossing Over:
IDW Ghostbusters - Prime Dimension
Real Ghostbusters - Dimension 68-R*
Extreme Ghostbusters - Dimension 68-E
Sanctum of Slime - Dimension 50-S*
Answer the Call - Dimension 80-C
The Ghostbusters (Penguin-Hunters) from Tokyo ESP: Scene 03 Penguin and Girl - Dimension 68-M
Ghostbusters 2 for NES sprites - Dimension 35-N
RGB team from the Slimer! show (that awful thing we all have been trying to forget) - Dimension 68-Q
Robo-Buster and Mike the Golem - Dimension 68-V
Ghostbusters the Videogame Stylized version team - Dimension 11-W*
Rachel Unlighter and Disco Louis Tully - Dimension 00-D
The teams marked with a “*” have previously been featured in Get Real #2 as well.
As seen in Get Real #2:
RGB team as seen in the promo pilot
The Ghost Smashers team as per Dan Aykroyd’s original idea
The Peoplebusters (who I would have gladly swapped in for the Slimer! guys in Crossing Over btw)
Ghostbusters for Sega Genesis sprites
The Ghostbusters from the Ghostbusters Pachinko game by Fujimarukun Co.
Filmation Ghostbusters
The team from the Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling episode "Ghost Wrestlers" starring Captain Lou Albano, Wendi Richter, Hulk Hogan (???)
Honorable mentions:
TMNT in virtue of the events of the double crossover allowing all of this to happen
The Funko Pop figurines since for some reason they made a comic about them
I could be missing a team or two, so I might update this list in the future. Maybe there will be word on a comic about the kids from Ghostbusters: Afterlife/Legacy by then.

#Gamefemerides Hace 32 años, se lanza el Game Boy. Una consola de 8-bits, desarrollada y manufacturada por @nintendo . Es la primera consola portátil de la línea, y fue creada por Satoru Okada y el R&D 1 (Investigación y Desarrollo). Este mismo equipo, liderado por Gunpei Yokoi en aquel tiempo, es acréditado por diseñar la serie de Game & Watch así como varios juegos populares para el NES. Varias versiones fse lanzaron en '96 y '98, con el Game Boy Pocket y el Game Boy Light (solo en Japón), respectivamente. El Game Boy es la primera consola portátil de Nintendo, y combinó elementos tanto del NES como del G&W.Tetris. El aparato presenta una pantalla de puntos verdes con dial de contraste, cinco botones de control (control pad, dos botones de juego, y start & select), dos bocinas con dial, y como sus rivales, utiliza cartuchos para los juegos. Todas las esquinas de la unidad rectangular eran suavizadas, excepto el inferior derecho, el cual es curvo. Durante su lanzamiento, el Game Boy compitió principalmente con el Game Gear de SEGA, el Lynx de Atari, y el TurboExpress de NEC Corporation. El Game Boy se impuso antes sus rivales, y se convirtió en éxito significativo. El Game Boy y su sucesor, el Game Boy Color, han vendido más de 118 millones de unidades a nivel mundial. Para el lanzamiento del GB en Estados Unidos, el envío inicial de 1MM de unidades se agotó en pocas semanas. En su lanzamiento se vendía como unidad por separado, o con uno de varios juegos: Super Mario Land o Tetris entre ellos. Varios accesorios se desarrollaron. La producción del GB y el GBC, fue descontinuado al inicio de los 00s, sucedido por el GBA, lanzado en 2001. ¿Cuáles han sido tus juegos favoritos de #GB? ¿Cuál versión de Pokémon?

Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan!
Before making a proper sequel, the RGG devs decided to make a spinoff to get used to the tech on the PS3. The end result was Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan, taking place in ancient Japan, with little to do with the main series apart from featuring many of the same mechanics and characters – or rather feudal approximations of them. What makes it especially interesting is that this side-story is also a reworking of the classical novel Musashi, by Eiji Yoshikawa, which was in turn based on one of Japan’s most revered and skilled swordsmen. If you want a cheap analogy, imagine if all the actors from the first two Godfather films came together afterwards and reprised loosely equivalent roles for a radical reimagining of the Robin Hood fable. It’s that degree of strange and awesome.

Review - Metroid: Samus Returns
Metroid: Samus Returns is another mediocre official Metroid release that shows that Nintendo just doesn’t know what to do with the franchise. Fans of Metroid should temper expectations, newcomers should maybe look somewhere else.
Note: there will be some minor spoilers in this review.
It’s impossible for me not to compare Samus Returns to last year’s fan-made Another Metroid 2 Remake (AM2R). Both games reimagine a Game Boy only sequel to a popular NES game, but take drastically different approaches. AM2R was my favorite game of 2016. It captured the spirit of the genre and franchise so well, while also modernizing it in some smart ways. It was the best Metroid related thing I’ve played since Super Metroid. It’s unfortunate to report that Nintendo official remake doesn’t come close to achieving that.
Samus Returns felt like a lot of the other handheld Metroid games. Just how Fusion and Zero Mission suffered from the limitations from the GBA’s fewer buttons, Samus Returns faces similar issues. I played it on an original 3DS XL, and often ended sessions because my hands (particularly my left hand) hurt. The game requires you to hold the shoulder buttons, sometimes both at once, to aim and it felt so awkward. Using the circle pad to to both move and aim doesn’t quite allow precision with either. Holding L to lock your position then aiming with the circle pad is never as precise as you want it to be. Even trying to shoot directly forward while moving is a chore. Firing missiles while holding R often ends up with them going slightly off course. This makes boss fights or some of the tighter exploration way more frustrating than enjoyable. Controls can’t be changed either. There is no option to make it so that L and R are toggles instead of holds. In an ideal world, you would be able to move with the D-pad, aim with the circle pad, and use L to go through the new Aeion abilities. Well, in a real ideal world this game would be on a platform with a modern gampad, but regardless the developers did not utilize what they had well enough. Control customization is something that has been widely unavailable in the first party 3DS games that I’ve played and it’s never not a knock against them. Nintendo really needs to step of their game and allow players to rebind their controls. It’s clearly not a priority for them and they need to change that. Especially considering that it was a feature in many first party SNES games.
Controls asides, Samus Returns is lackluster in other ways. Where in other Metroid games each area had its own unique appearance, that’s not really the case for this game. While there are some really beautiful unique backgrounds and the occasional one-off set piece, all the rooms are built from the same few tile sets. Here’s the purple caves, here’s the ancient tech, etc. Music is bound to the tile sets too. Hot rooms always have a rearranged Lower Nofair theme, etc. This creates a feeling of sameyness. It’s easy to forget what area you’re in when exploring for missed upgrades. Lack of enemy variety compounds this. You face maybe around five to six different enemy types throughout the game. There are upgraded versions that are colored slightly different, but the tactics don’t generally change much. Maybe you use the Screw Attack against this version, or Powerbombs against this one, but generally once you’ve seen an enemy you know how you’ll be dealing with it for the rest of the game.
I have mixed feelings about the combat. They tried something new by giving you the ability to “parry” certain incoming attacks. It works well enough and it utilized well in boss fights, but for the majority of encounters against regular enemies it’s the most common way to deal with them. Your gun is pathetic. Even after upgrades. Most enemies take tens of shots to bring down. It’s best to let them do their one attack then counter it. Countering leaves enemies dazed and usually then only takes a single shot to kill. This makes shooting feel flimsy and underpowered. I ended up trying to just avoid enemies if I could, or impatiently waiting for them to do something I could counter. It really ended bringing the game to a crawl. Move a screen forward, counter the enemy, then repeat. A lot of the combat is in boss battles. Just like any of the other versions of Metroid 2, this game features many encounters with metroids in various points in the metroid life cycle. These encounters are by far the best part of this game. I particularly liked the fights against the Zeta and Omega metroids. If there is anything that this game has above AM2R it's these fights. However, that’s not saying too much because the metroid fights were the weakest part of AM2R. Here, they’re varied and more interesting. Though they’re still fairly repetitive and I wish there was even more variation in the arena designs. Especially for the later encounters. I wish I could be as positive about the non-metroid related boss fights, because those are by far the worst part of the game. There’s not many. Only about three or four. One in particular was so awful that I had considered putting down the game for good. That boss was this large robot thing that you face late in the game. The fight has the typical hallmarks of poor boss design. Short windows when it can be damaged, long periods (2+ minutes!) where you can do nothing but dodge, and one-off gimmick mechanics that aren’t very clear. But there was one thing that was especially egregious. In its second phase it has an inhale attack that is real easy to dodge. You can see it sucking up rocks from the ground and if you try dropping bombs in its path they do nothing. Then in the third phase, it has that same attack, but this time to further the fight you HAVE to drop bombs that then get sucked up and damage it. That’s some extremely questionable design! None of the bosses in this game are super challenging. They’re all very pattern based and focus completely on having the player recognize those patterns. The cost for any mistake, however, is tons of damage. It’s not unusual for an attack to drop more than two full tanks of health off you. Fortunately the game checkpoints before every fight. So when you die, you can, after a rather long loading sequence, start the fight over without losing progress.
The abilities in this game, outside of the new Aeion abilities, are pretty standard for a Metroid game. The Aeion ones are fine, but not really used very well. Of the four, I found myself only really using two of them frequently. The other two were completely situational. One thing of note is that almost every ability you get also acts as a key to a particular type of door. “You need the charge beam to open this door,” etc. It’s odd. It some ways, it makes sense and prevents sequence breaking (though why would you?). On the other hand, coupled with how underpowered the shooting already is, it makes your weapons feel like just keys. They do find some clever ways to use the grapple beam that as a fan of the series I certainly appreciate though. Then there’s the upgrades. Missile tank upgrades are a common thing in Metroid games. Typically they end up giving you around 255 missiles if you collect all of them. This game is no different. However, in Super Metroid you would pick up 5 at a time. Meaning there are 51 missile upgrades in that game. In this game, you pick up 3. Meaning there are 85 missile tanks to collect! You pick up so many missile upgrade over the course of this game. Almost all the rewards for exploration are more missile upgrades. You never need more than maybe 100 missiles, and are more likely going to rely on super missiles once you get those as you’re more likely going to counter them instead. Missiles aren’t an important thing in this game at all, but man, will you be collecting them.
I can’t say that Samus Returns is awful. It’s not. It’s playable, but unremarkable. Coming off the heels of AM2R really paints this mediocre game in a much worse light. Nintendo needs to with Metroid what Sega did with Sonic Mania. Give it over to the fans who know what they want rather than making another dull addition. I’m starting to feel like Super Metroid was lightning in a bottle and they’ve been failing to recapture that ever since. At least with the 2D Metroid games. I have not played the Prime games and have no opinion on them. AM2R is a much superior product and I’m excited to see what comes from that dev in the future.
I’m not sure who to recommend this game for. Fans of the series will likely be disappointed. Fans of the genre will find a playable, but uninspired game. Newcomers to both should probably start elsewhere. The price is too high and the game is not worth it. I have not done hard mode nor used any of the Amiibo stuff, so I cannot comment on that. I know Metroid fans have been clamouring for a new 2D Metroid, but they should turn to other developers for the higher quality experience they’re looking for, as they won’t find it in this game.
As always you can find my as-I-played thoughts on the game in my List of Games Played 2017.

King of the traditional consoles-- what to place on your wishlist|VentureBeat
When it concerns bring in the video gaming public, prominent console manufacturers are seeking to fond memories as much as they are to online services and fancy peripherals. Simply in the last few years, Nintendo, Sega, Sony, SNK, and others have tossed basic circuitry into an adorable plastic shell to make players recollect-- and open their wallets.
As one of those individuals who yearns for the days of bits and beat-'em-ups, I have a nearly unhealthy fascination with the retro revival and all the items that have come with it. The thing is, just a few of these devices live up to their forefathers. A few of them, rather frankly, may offer you the desire to let the past die. Which ones are worth the cash?
Prior to I go into this ranking, it is essential to mention that none of these traditional consoles have a comprehensive list of video games. Don't go in anticipating to play everything that you keep in mind.
Above: The Sega Genesis Classics collection deserves your time.Image Credit: Sega If you truly desire to have a look at a specific video game, your finest bet would be to see if it has a PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or Nintendo Virtual Console/eShop release. A number of business, including Sega and SNK, have launched collections that feature many old-school titles. The Sega Genesis Classics collection(available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch) is a great example. One more thing, the only minis I'm going to discuss are ones in my individual collection, so let's
get to it. The kings of the classics SNES Classic( Nintendo )The Nintendo "Classics"may not have pioneered the mini-console trend, however they turned it into a full-blown phenomenon. When the Japanese video gaming giant decided to come out with miniaturized homages to their Nintendo and Super Nintendo Home Entertainment Systems, the world took notice. And it stood in line with money at the ready. Now, almost every video gaming connoisseur has a Classic, or they're trying to find one. Both the NES and SNES Classics are extremely similar. They include a compact kind element, adoringly recreated controllers, user-friendly user interfaces, and great
video output. Games look fantastic and play without much input lag( this will differ, depending upon the television). You can likewise apply filters to get that tube-TV aesthetic-- if you're into that. Conserve states for every game are readily available. Above: The SNES Classic takes you back to the early '90s. Image Credit: Nintendo What really makes these models shine is the video game choice. And, for me, that's why the SNES Classic is
king. While it provides fewer titles than its NES big sibling, the library here is unbelievable. Super Mario World, F-Zero, Contra III: The Alien Wars, Super Metroid, Final Fantasy III(VI ), The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Street Fighter II Turbo are just a few of the highlights. As an included perk, Nintendo went ahead and consisted of Starfox 2, which never saw an official release until the SNES Classic struck shop racks. These 16-bit experiences hold up better than numerous other older video games. Just consider all the pixel-art indie titles out there. Where do you think they discovered their motivation? 2. NES Classic (Nintendo )Truly, the NES Classic is worthy of to be at the leading just as much as its SNES equivalent.
While the SNES edition provides deeper gameplay and more technically remarkable titles, the NES Classic is packed with renowned releases that introduced a new dawn for gaming. The initial
3 Super Mario titles, the
first 2 Legend of Zelda games, Castlevania, Kirby's Adventure, Ninja Gaiden, Punch-Out, and Mega Male 2 are some of the favorites that made the cut here. Above: The NES Classic is a mini marvel.Image Credit: Nintendo The NES Classic includes the same first-class develop quality and features as the SNES version. The one big distinction here is that it features one controller, not 2. If you wish to have fun with someone else, nevertheless, you'll require to pursue an extra gamepad-- which can be just as difficult to
discover as the console itself.
This does make the core package a
little less expensive, and you can utilize an SNES Classic controller if you occur to have one lying around. Enjoyable but problematic 3. Neo Geo Mini (SNK)When I heard that SNK was making a mini-Neo Geo to commemorate the console-arcade hybrid's 40th anniversary, I rushed to the very first preorder page I could discover. The end product itself may be the coolest device on this whole list, however it might just be the most infuriating. The Neo Geo Mini has an extensive video game list that need to satisfy most fans of
the original hardware
. SNK at first released two minis: one for Japan, and an "International "variation for other areas. Many of the games overlap between the two, however each mini has its own special offerings. Personally, I discovered this aggravating due to the fact that certain video games that I wanted ended up just on the Japanese system.
Regardless, amongst the Neo Geo Mini's 40 games, you'll get to play a slew of Metal Slug and King of Fighters titles, the remarkable Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Shock Troopers, Blazing Star, and the criminally neglected Last Blade 2. The Neo Geo library (and, as a result, the Neo Geo Mini's selection)has a heavy focus on fighting games. If you're not into that genre, you ought to most likely move on to something else. The
Neo Geo Mini gadget is different than most tribute consoles because it has its own LCD screen and arcade-style controls. This makes it a rather striking addition to any gamer's collection. While it's enjoyable to play these video games on a tiny game cabinet, the novelty wears away rapidly. And it deserves noting that the stick has no gate or microswitches, so you're generally playing with analog-style controls. This is less than perfect for the exact, arcade nature of
Neo Geo video games. The system is perfectly playable, however, and the screen's quality is surprisingly great. But I 'd rather hook the console as much as a TELEVISION, where I can have a more comfortable gameplay session. And that's where the Neo Geo Mini truly fails. The video output is flat-out disappointing. I can only tolerate playing with the "image quality optimization"filter made it possible for, which offers the video an extremely smoothed out appearance. I truly do not like the way it looks, however it's even worse when I turn it off. I paid for one of the gamepads that SNK released in combination with the Neo Geo Mini, so I might get the many of my TV play. These look nearly similar to the Neo Geo CD
pads that came out in the '90s. But the brand-new controllers don't include the satisfying microswitches from the CD system D-pads. To be blunt, the Neo Geo Mini controller is a disappointment. The D-pad feels unclear, and it's an ever-present distraction when I'm playing. And for some factor, SNK changed the order
of the buttons, so that adds an unneeded layer to my irritation. Due to the fact that it has its own screen, the Neo Geo Mini is in fact a little more costly than its classic colleagues. And you'll have to invest more money if you want one of the gamepads. Overall, the Neo Geo Mini is an excellent concept with an equally great lineup of titles. SNK screwed up in the execution, nevertheless, and it stopped working to provide fans with the worth they deserve. Still, this little thing has plenty of style(simply like its library ), and if you have actually constantly desired a Neo Geo,
possibly it's worth a shot. 4. Super Retro-Cade (Retro-Bit)This is the quirkiest console on the list, thanks to its random, yet unmistakably charming, selection of titles. Retro-Bit launched this gadget as a follow-up to its Generations plug-and-play mini-console. The Retro-Cade has a somewhat spartan style and includes two basic, yet strong, controllers(although, I wish the buttons and
D-pad were less stiff ). Like I pointed out earlier, the library of titles here is all over the place. You'll find game brawlers like Double Dragon from Technos and Capcom's great
Armored Warriors. You can jump into vertical shooters like 1942 and Varth. Or horizontal shooters like the goofy game romp Boogie Wings and R-Type III for the SNES. If you want puzzle video games, you can inspect out multiple Magical Drop games. Oh, and even the odd, Castlevania-like Holy Scuba Diver for the NES is here. Above: Yeah, Mega Male 3 is on the Retro-Cade. Image Credit: Capcom I ought to likewise mention that Bionic
Task force(arcade and NES), Strider(game and NES ), Joe and Mac, BurgerTime(NES ), and numerous entries in the Final Battle franchise are on this thing. The Retro-Cade's interface is straightforward yet functional. You can adjust the video settings to show a stretched or original aspect ratio, however the video games themselves look a bit too soft, with muted colors. Apparently, an upgraded version of the console is now readily available that lets you disable the smoothness filter, leading to a crisper image.
The"version 1.1"Retro-Cade also includes a revised
game list that includes
titles like Unrefined Buster. However I've only had the chance to experience the original gadget. Also, when utilizing the Retro-Cade, I needed to put my TV into video game mode to get less input lag. This is the norm for
many contemporary tvs when using video gaming gadgets, however with a few of the other consoles(like the Nintendo Classics), it wasn't as big of a requirement.

En 2000, Akira Nagai (senior managing director) estime que les salles d’arcade doivent être modifiées pour devenir des espaces de loisirs plus grand public afin de toucher une cible plus large et de renouveler la clientèle. Il parle d’hybrid outlets qui seraient tous reliés par fibre optique afin de connecter toutes les bornes d’arcade entre elles à travers le Japon. En 2013, SEGA ne produit plus de consoles mais s’accroche plus que jamais à l’arcade, qui est en quelque sorte dans son ADN.
Si l’on revient aux débuts de SEGA, avant même que la firme ne se nomme ainsi, on trouve des jeux mécaniques qui sont à l’origine du jeu vidéo d’arcade. Retournons au siècle dernier. À Hawaï en 1940, James Humpert et les Bromley père et fils fondent une société nommée Standard Games afin de monétiser le temps libre des soldats installés dans les bases militaires américaines. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la société s’établit au Japon, occupé par les Américains qui livrent une autre guerre en Corée. Elle crée une filiale du nom de Service Games of Japan (1952) afin de souligner que le client visé est le soldat en service. Comme à leur habitude, les Japonais forment un mot valise plus court pour désigner l’entreprise : SEGA. Durant cette première partie de l’histoire de la firme, ses propriétaires américains commercialisent avant tout des machines à sous et des juke-boxes. SEGA fait de l’arcade au sens large du terme. D’ailleurs, les Japonais ne parlent pas d’arcade mais d’amusement, de divertissement.
Parallèlement, un certain David Rosen, soldat mobilisé pour la guerre de Corée, reste au Japon pour fonder une entreprise d’import de Photomatons. C’est un succès immédiat et il continue en important des jeux de tir : il s’agit de tirer sur des ours avec un fusil en plastique. Par la suite, il commercialise d’autres bornes similaires où il faut tirer sur des requins ou des raies. Comme on le voit, l’arcade est plus proche de ministands de fête foraine que des jeux vidéo.
L’origine de SEGA explique aussi pourquoi la firme a toujours tenu à innover dans le domaine de l’arcade. Après tout, entre les machines à tuer les requins avec un fusil et Virtua Cop où l’on doit recharger son arme en plastique pour tirer sur des ennemis en polygones, il n’y a que des différences technologiques, le gameplay de base étant le même. De même, l’engouement pour les Photomatons sera relayé par celui envers les Purikura (Photomaton avec images personnalisées à coller) de nos jours…
Les bandits manchots laissent leur place aux medal games. Quant aux juke-boxes, ils sont remplacés par les jeux de rythme et musicaux dont Project Diva est l’un des derniers avatars à succès (lire l’article consacré à Hatsune Miku).
De SEGA à SEGA
En 1965, SEGA et l’entreprise de Rosen fusionnent et la nouvelle entité change de stratégie : au lieu de simplement importer des machines, elle va en créer. Entre les jeux de basket, sac de sable à frapper, ou hélicoptère à manœuvrer, SEGA s’occupe vraiment de jeux mécaniques et électroniques. Son premier logo en caractères un peu gothiques témoigne de cette période durant laquelle les bornes de jeu sont l’essentiel de son activité.
Parmi les succès, on trouve Periscope en 1966, jeu d’arcade qui n’est plus vraiment un jeu électronique mais dont le succès est suffisant pour que Gulf & Western Industries, Inc. rachète SEGA au début des années soixante-dix. David Rosen, resté à la tête de SEGA, poursuit sa lancée avec des jeux d’arcade électroniques et lance les versions PC. Mais, avec la crise des années 1983-1984, l’industrie balbutiante du jeu vidéo sur ordinateur sombre. Heureusement, SEGA a toujours ses activités dans les bornes de jeux !
Le succès de Space Invaders étant mondial, SEGA se met à créer des jeux vidéo pour l’arcade et rachète son principal distributeur au Japon, Esco Trading. Son ex-dirigeant Hayao Nakayama prend alors la place de vice-président de SEGA. La société perdant de l’argent, la filiale américaine de SEGA est vendue à Bally, entreprise fabriquant des flippers. Par la suite, CSK rachète SEGA et en fait une société florissante. Le conglomérat japonais renomme la société SEGA Enterprises Ltd. lors de son rachat en 1984. Pendant qu’une partie de l’entreprise part à la conquête des salons par le biais des consoles, l’autre consolide l’expertise dans le domaine du jeu d’arcade. SEGA s’est diversifiée au fil du temps pour maîtriser toute la chaîne, de la fabrication à la salle où joue le public. Elle possède des salles d’arcade (nommées game centers au Japon), construit des machines et les jeux qui fonctionnent dessus. Bien sûr, SEGA continue d’innover dans le domaine de l’amusement et des machines à jouer avec notamment l’invention de l’UFO Catcher en 1985 : une pince mécanique contrôlée par des boutons permet d’attraper ou non des lots à gagner dans une gigantesque boîte transparente.
L’arcade est aussi le secteur où la recherche et l’innovation sont les plus essentielles : bien souvent, les nouveaux titres sortent sur les bornes d’arcade avant d’être adaptés pour les consoles. En 1990, SEGA a ainsi lancé la première borne d’arcade pouvant pivoter sur elle-même (R-360) et en 1993, elle a sorti Virtua Fighter, premier jeu de baston en 3D au monde.En se diversifiant dans le domaine de l’arcade, la firme obtient des revenus non négligeables tout en contrôlant une grande partie de ce marché. En 2000, un quart de son chiffre d’affaires provient des salles d’arcade et un autre quart des ventes de machines d’arcade ; les ventes de jeux et de consoles représentent le reste.
En 2012, dans les documents officiels de SEGA, l’arcade regroupe six catégories, dont une seule est nommée explicitement « jeux vidéo » : jeux de cartes à collectionner virtuelles, simulateurs, medal games, jeux avec lots à gagner, jeux pour enfants. Cette diversité se retrouve dans les salles d’arcade japonaises où le jeu vidéo tel qu’on le conçoit en Occident n’occupe qu’une place restreinte.
SEGAland
Afin de mieux mettre en avant ses bornes d’arcade et de capitaliser sur les différentes marques de son catalogue, SEGA a même créé différents parcs d’attractions à travers le monde pour attirer un public plus familial et créer une nouvelle dynamique de consommation dans un lieu de loisirs. Il y en a eu plusieurs sur le territoire britannique dont SEGAworld Bournemouth (1993-2007), SEGAworld London (1996-2000). En Australie, le SEGAworld de Sydney a survécu trois ans (1997-2000).
Aux États-Unis, une chaîne gérée par une joint-venture entre SEGA, Universal et Dreamworks devait permettre de regrouper jeux d’arcade, restaurants et autres boutiques dans un même centre de loisirs. Le premier du genre s’est ouvert en 1996 à Seattle. Plus récemment, SEGA a ouvert un parc d’attractions à Dubaï (2009, SEGA Republic). Ces parcs d’attractions sont d’autant plus surprenants qu’en Occident, les salles d’arcade ont pratiquement disparu du paysage urbain contrairement à ce qui se passe au Japon et dans le reste de l’Asie, où les game centers occupent même plusieurs étages d’un immeuble.
Si vous êtes de passage à Tokyo, vous pourrez visiter le parc d’attractions Joypolis à Odaiba (créé en 1996) ou vous rendre dans les différentes salles d’arcade disséminées à travers la ville. Les plus grosses, nommées SEGA CLUB ou SEGA GIGO, occupent cinq à sept étages et sont globalement arrangées de la même façon. Au rez-de-chaussée et à l’entrée, il faut attirer le chaland et l’arme la plus efficace est une suite d’UFO Catchers. Familles, couples et groupes de copines se retrouvent devant ces grandes vitrines lumineuses pleines de peluches, jouets mignons ou nourriture. Évidemment, comme dans les boîtes de nuit, il s’agit d’attirer la clientèle féminine pour que les clients masculins viennent fréquenter la salle… Ces machines à cadeaux attirent les jeunes filles, ce qui séduit les gamers de passage qui peuvent se dire que la salle est fréquentée par la gent féminine.
Aux étages les plus hauts, on trouve en général les jeux de paris (football et turf) et les medal games. Comme ce ne sont ni des jeux d’argent ni des jeux vidéo core gamers, ils attirent un public différent, dont les femmes et même les familles. Contrairement aux pachinkos (sorte de flipper japonais), qui permettent de gagner des lots ensuite échangeables contre de l’argent, ces titres n’offrent que des crédits supplémentaires pour rejouer. Néanmoins, tout est fait pour recréer une ambiance de casino avec les pièces de monnaie qui tombent en rythme et les lumières dans tous les sens lorsque l’on gagne le jackpot. Dans le cas des jeux de turf, les joueurs parient sur des chevaux qui ensuite font une course virtuelle.
Variation autour du jeu vidéo, certaines bornes permettent de jouer avec des cartes à collectionner : il suffit de poser une carte pour que le personnage apparaisse à l’écran et pour que le joueur le fasse évoluer, comme si l’on était dans un épisode du dessin animé Yu-Gi-Oh avec les monstres qui se matérialisent sur l’écran de la borne. Ce système a pour avantage de fidéliser les joueurs qui cherchent à compléter leur collection de cartes. Parmi les succès de ce genre, il y a le Sangokushi Taisen de SEGA. Ce STR est inspiré par l’histoire chinoise des trois royaumes. Le déplacement des personnages en jeu correspond à celui des cartes sur un écran spécial.
Finalement, seuls un ou deux étages sur six sont consacrés à des bornes de jeux d’arcade. En général, ceux-ci se destinent à des core gamers et les genres les plus populaires sont les mêmes qui ont du succès sur le marché des consoles : RPG, mecha, baston, rhythm. Bien sûr, même si vous êtes dans une salle d’arcade SEGA, vous pourrez trouver des jeux Namco Bandai comme les pods de Kidō Senshi Gundam : Senjō no Kizuna, simulateurs de pilotage de mecha avec écran panoramique. Le plus important est d’attirer et de faire rester les clients dans la salle, quels que soient les jeux…
SEGA ou comment innover dans l’Amusement
Depuis 2007, la crise du marché de l’arcade s’est fait sentir de manière plus intense qu’auparavant. Il faut dire que SEGA et les autres acteurs de cette industrie ont beaucoup œuvré pour diversifier le public et rénover les salles de jeu. Ainsi, la plupart d’entre elles sont reliées à Internet et les joueurs peuvent désormais affronter des adversaires à travers l’Archipel au lieu de simplement combattre une personne du même quartier. Toujours grâce à Internet, des cartes de fidélisation ont été élaborées pour que les joueurs conservent leurs scores et avancement en jeu. Enfin, SEGA et les autres constructeurs essaient de rendre les bornes plus faciles à adapter pour que des jeux différents puissent tourner sur une même machine et que les mises à jour se fassent sans trop de soucis pour les gérants de salles.
Afin de toucher un public d’enfants, SEGA a sorti en 2003 une borne à leur taille disposée dans les centres commerciaux pour les occuper pendant que les parents vaquent à d’autres occupations. Cette borne nommée Mushiking (Kōchū Ōja Mushikingu) combine à la fois jeu vidéo et jeu de cartes à collectionner tout en s’appuyant sur une pratique ancestrale des jeunes Japonais : le combat d’insectes. Il y a plus de six versions du jeu et d’autres éditeurs ont essayé de renouveler le succès en déclinant le gameplay à base de pierre-feuille-ciseau avec d’autres domaines à connotation enfantine. Plus récemment, SEGA s’est intéressée à la clientèle âgée pour renouveler son public.
En dehors de ces efforts pour toucher des catégories de joueurs différentes, SEGA cherche à constamment renouveler les contrôles des bornes. Ainsi, le joystick est remplacé par une sorte de souris géante pour BorderBreak, un jeu de tir et de mecha où il s’agit de collaborer avec d’autres pour gagner petit à petit du terrain sur l’équipe adverse.
Dans le même genre, SEGA a présenté une nouvelle borne pour les amateurs de danse en 2012 : MaiMai. Les joueurs touchent un écran tactile géant au lieu d’appuyer sur des touches mécaniques pendant qu’une caméra filme la prestation et la publie sur l’équivalent du YouTube japonais. Dans un tout autre genre, SEGA commercialise en 2012 une borne de jeu urinoir : Toylet. Avec la pression du jet d’urine, le joueur participe à divers minijeux dont l’un consiste à soulever les jupes de filles…
Dans le domaine des UFO-Catchers, SEGA cherche aussi à se renouveler pour attirer plus de public. La firme a diversifié la taille des machines et les lots à gagner sont régulièrement modifiés, mais c’était toujours globalement la même chose. En 2010, les traditionnelles commandes sont remplacées par une sorte de « balance board » dans la borne UFO Balance Catcher. Désormais, on contrôle la pince mécanique avec ses pieds et son poids. Toujours dans le but de renouveler les concepts de bornes existantes, SEGA introduit la 3D et des jets d’air pour des bornes montées sur vérin afin de faire des minivéhicules proposant de la « 4D ».
Bien sûr, tout en innovant, SEGA ferme sans cesse les salles déficitaires et peut annoncer en mars 2011 que les ventes de bornes ont pour la première fois depuis trois ans augmenté tandis que les revenus générés par les salles ont moins baissé. Cette politique permettra sans doute à la firme de maintenir son secteur consacré à l’amusement en Asie qui est son noyau historique.

Main Research article
The important bits from the article the majority of my research came from:
4.3 Game pads It is the most common kind of game device that provides input in a computer game or entertainment system used to control a playable character or object. Its design was conceived to be hold in both hands with thumbs and finger used to press buttons to provide input. Thus the main goal of game controller is to govern the movement/action of payable body/objects in a video computer game. Gamepads usually feature a set of action buttons handled with the right thumb and a direction controller handled with the left. Later on some common additions to the standard pad include shoulder buttons placed along the edges of the pad. Haptics Rendering and Applications 226 Third generation of video game controllers included the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) featured a brick-like design, Master System which has a similar design as NES and the Atari 7800. The fourth generation included Genesisi Mega Drive by Sega, TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System which had a more rounded dog-bone like design and added two more face buttons, "X" and "Y", arranging the four in a diamond formation. In the Fifth Generation the Apple Bandai Pippin had a short live console designed by Apple Computer Inc. The Atari Jaguar was the first and last Atari console to employ the modern gamepad. Another example is the Neo Geo CD which was similar in shape and size to Sega Genesisi/Mega Drive game pads. Other examples include, The Sega Saturn, whose control pad introduced an analogue stick and analog triggers, Virtual Boy controller designed to use dual joypads, which was envisioned to control objects in a 3D environment. Sony developed a four direction D-pad, four actions were referred not by color or letter/number like most pads instead were colored shapes; triangle, circle, cross and square. The basic design and layout was based on that of Nintendo's SNES controller, as the PlayStation was originally developed as a CD add-on for the SNES, before becoming a console in its own right. It was the default pad for the first year of the PlayStation, until the release of the Dual Analog. It was often cloned for PC gamepads. The Nintendo 64 started to have both an analog stick and a D-pad. It has the traditional A,B,L and R buttons, along with a Z trigger button on its underside. 4.4 Haptic vests and jackets Originally designed for medical investigation, Physician Mark Ombrellaro developed a haptic vest that enabled the wearer to feel the impact of bullets, explosions and/or even hand taps in the trunk of the player’s body. The 3RD Space Vest is commercialized by TN Games and is advertised as the only gaming peripheral device that allows you to feel what your game character feels. It works with pressured air to provide the player pressure and impact forces that can emulate a wide scope of direction and magnitude (TN Games, 2011). Others have worked on similar systems, and although they have not focused on the application in games specifically, it is clear how such technologies could also be applied in a game scenario. In the University of Ottawa in Canada, Jongeun Cha and others have worked in a device to enhance teleconferencing. They developed a jacket that enhances communication with the physical and emotional connection by allowing participants give encouraging pats to one another (Cha et al, 2009). Similarly, researchers at the National University of Singapore developed the Huggy Pajama wearable system, where the remote communication between parent and child is enabled through virtual hugs. This is possible by using a doll with embedded pressure sensors as input device and a haptic jacket as the actuator for the hug at the other end. The hug is reproduced by air pockets and the experience is further enhanced by adding a heating element to the device to mimic the warmth of a hug (Teh et al, 2008).
