But since then, fans, media, and the games industry have thought further about the "Japaneseness" of particular games. Game developers try to decide whether a game's Japaneseness is a selling point or stumbling block; critics try to determine what elements in a game express its Japaneseness--cultural motifs or technical markers. Games were "localized," subjected to sociocultural and technical tinkering. In this book, Mia Consalvo looks at what happens when Japanese games travel outside Japan, and how they are played, thought about, and transformed by individuals, companies, and groups in the West. Consalvo begins with players, first exploring North American players' interest in Japanese games (and Japanese culture in general) and then investigating players' DIY localization of games, in the form of ROM hacking and fan translating. She analyzes several Japanese games released in North America and looks in detail at the Japanese game company Square Enix. She examines indie and corporate localization work, and the rise of the professional culture broker. Finally, she compares different approaches to Japaneseness in games sold in the West and considers how Japanese games have influenced Western games developers. Her account reveals surprising cross-cultural interactions between Japanese games and Western game developers and players, between Japaneseness and the market."--Booki jacket.Video gamesJapanVideo gamesSocial aspectsJapanVideo games industryJapanElectronic books.Video gamesVideo gamesSocial aspectsVideo games industry794.80952006.7768 CONConsalvo Mia1969-890600MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465304803321Atari to Zelda2124100UNINA01499nam0 2200337 i 450 CAG044470720251003044102.08846443667IT2004-6287 20130827d2003 ||||0itac50 baitaitz01i xxxe z01nˆLa ‰mobilità delle merci nell'area metropolitana milaneseGiovanni Da Rios, Domenico Gattusoindagine sviluppata dal Politecnico di Milano, D.I.I.A.R., Sezione infrastrutture viarieF.
