"We’ve forgotten we’re supposed to be making games, not movies. As a result, game development is turning into a circus, costs are skyrocketing, users get bored faster than ever and the development of truly new games – new ways of having fun – has all but stopped." Hiroshi Yamauchi

A decade ago on this day [19 September], Hiroshi Yamauchi, one of the former presidents of Nintendo who led the company to greatness by offering a savory kick of hardcore games to always pick up and play while making King K. Rool a top tier priority, died at the age of 85 following complications of pneumonia. He was responsible for the creation of the NES, Game Boy, Nintendo 64 and Nintendo GameCube while also earning a special thanks credit from Rare Ltd.

His golden legacy and his actual contribution to gaming will always be rememebered.

Parent Daughter Decay

Physicist and chemist Marie Curie was born November 7, 1867. No, that’s not her. It’s not possible to predict the decay of individual radioactive particles, as it is a random process, but the parent nucleus produces a daughter nucleus. The radioactivity of one gram of radium is called a curie, equal to 37 gigabecquerels. Here is a description of the parent daughter decay process Also born on…

Saw a twitter post from someone I used to admire until recently about Charles Martinet stepping down, Iwata passing away, and Reggie leaving meant that "the old Nintendo everyone grew up with is dead", they worded it differently and it came off really bad and corny.

Let me tell you something.

Nintendo used to make toys and love hotels. They used to make arcade cabinets. They Howard Philips as their north american ambassador, he's the reason we got Super Mario Bros 2 USA instead of that dreadful Lost Levels. Nintendo used to demand censorship, and demand every port to their consoles have unique content. They had Rareware. They had cartoons being made in north america with Captain Lou Albano as the voice of Mario, and he would do public service announcements in Mario costumes. We had official Nintendo magazines with Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Starfox comic books published in them. If a third party game was popular enough in Japan, it was publised as a first party Nintendo game in the USA. The president of Nintendo was Hiroshi Yamauchi. And they had a very talented developer of both games and hardware named Gunpei Yokoi who tragically lost his life in 1997. Nintendo also used to be a lot better at hiding the shitty things they did, or at least they tried harder.

Nintendo is an everchanging company. You really cannot be so selective about it's history. If you think Nintendo would resemble what you loved about it in grade school, well you're probably still in school and need to stay there a bit longer. Look at the history of literally any entertainment brand and you could easily see that. It's all about taking the good changes with the bad.... and also sometimes understanding that there will be times when there is more bad than good. And that there's always a chance of recovery.

Henk Roger in Chile

Henk Roger (actual CEO with Axeley Pajitnov of The Tetris Company), is a Game Programmer, Game Designer, various games, and Chief Executive of game companies, he arrived in Chile for Festigame 2023 on the 12 and 13 of August! I went on Saturday and I got to know him, he could sign me some Bullet Proof Software (best known as B.P.S too) games.

Was so fantastic his interview on the main stage of FestiGames. I will tell you the trajectory of Henk Roger before and later of Tetris.

The Birth of Bullet Proof Software

Bullet Proof Software (known as B.P.S) was an American/Japanese game Developer and Publisher founded by Henk Roger in 1983 in Japan. In the next year, the first game developed by B.P.S was Black Onyx, which was the first introduction of the RPG (Role Playing Game)/ Dungeon Crawler genre for the gamer Japanese before they developed games such as Dragon Quest (Enix), YS (Nihon Falcom) or Final Fantasy (Squaresoft).

Black Onyx had Inspiration from successful American RPGs like Ultima by Richard Garriot in 1981, and Wizardry by Andrew C. Greenberg and Robert Woodhead in 1981, obviously, those games are based on Dungeon & Dragon (a tabletop game created in 1974 by David Gygax and Dave Anderson), the original mother of all Rol Playing games.

Its development was for NEC-PC 88, NEC-PC 98, SEGA-1000 and, and had a sequel for Famicom called Super Black Onyx.

"Black Onyx for NEC PC 88 (hardware Japanese of 8 bits)"

"The Original Team of B.P.S during the development of Black Onyx in 1984"

"Bullet Proof Software Office in 1984, the screenshots are of a Japanese Magazine called Beep! about videogame, 1984 which they worked on in Black Onyx's Third chapter, showed GDD and Sprite Editor that was unreleased". (source by VGDenetsu)

B.P.S Club Ad, show the next game for PC 88 and Famicom like: -MicroGo1 (1987 developed by B.P.S for Famicom) is a Go game -Archon (they were the publisher for the PC 88/FM 77 version in 1986) -Lyrane (they were the publisher for the PC 88/FM 77 version in 1986 and 1987)

Tetris, From Russia with Love:

I suggest you check the great documental: "From Russian with Love" created by BBC, but I will try to resume the story: Axeley Pajitnov's 1985 program Tetris his Electronika 60 in the Science Sovietic Academy of Moscu during the URRS, his creation did not have the proprietary right concept, the game was spread all over Europe. The game quickly arrived on different PCs until you reached a Computation Exposition in Europe. A man called Robert Stein from Andromeda Software was interested in Tetris, and he wanted to contact Axeley Pajitnov, but the Soviet government was awarded the game to negotiate with any wanted of getting the rights of commercialization for selling Tetris via Elorg, Ministry of Technology of the government.

Elorg sent the first step for negotiating to Robert Stein, but him believed that was a contract for the right of commercialization, he started selling the rights commercialization to Mirror Soft (a British Company created by the Multibilionaire Robert Maxwell), This company sold the rights to Spectrum Holobyte (game developer and Publisher in the USA) that this sold the rights to Atari Tengen (for Arcade and Console) and finally Atari Tengen sold the rights to Henk Roger from Bullet Proof Software for can sell Tetris for Famicom, during a CES of 1987.

"This was the first version of Tetris for Famicom released in 1987, that didn't same NES version released in 1989 was developed by Nintendo Japan". But Elorg didn´t know about the commercialization of Tetris in anything platform until 1988, when they saw the different Tetris versions on PC. Elorg contacted Robert Stein because he traded the rights without Elorg's permission., while Mirror Soft at the same time they wanted the rights to Tetris, and Henk Roger was contacted by Hiroshi Yamauchi because Nintendo they worked on a new Console Portable: Game Boy. Henk Roger, Robert Stein, and Kevin Maxwell made a trip to URRS, to negotiate the complete rights of Tetris, without knowing each one traveled with the same intention, was a legal fight and very bureaucratic, and this scaled to the KGB, Kremlin, and finally to the Mijain Gorbachov, but Henk Roger got the exclusive rights for develop and sell the game for Game Boy and VideoGame Home Console. With the rights to the Video Game Home Console, They can stop and cancel the version of Atari Tengen for NES, obviously, Atari demanded Nintendo in a Legal Trial for the rights to sell the Home Console (at this moment ATARI made a re-engineer inverse to the NES for manufacture own NES Cartridge without permission of Nintendo they had another legal trial).

In 1989, Tetris was sold with the release of the Game Boy, which was developed by Bullet Proof Sofware, It was a success for Nintendo and BPS, but Axeley Pajitnov at all times earned nothing from the profits of his creation, Elorg and URRS kept the profits until 1996 when Russia change to the capitalist system and rights of creation were delivered for his creator.

Testris and the Friendship:

Axeley Pajitnov wanted to work as a Game designer and work in the game industry, and his best friend could help. Bullet Proof Software since 1989, opened a filial of development in Redmond Washington (very near the Nintendo of America office), Axeley Pajitnov could exit to the URRS, and traveled to the United States with his family. His first work in B.P.S was: - WellTris - FaceTris - HaTris - Knight Moves - PipeDream ( based on the PC game of Lucas Film Game) - Yoshi Cookies (based on an unreleased arcade game of HomeData) Later Pajitnov worked at Microsoft and in 1996 he founded with Henk Roger, The Tetris Company.

"Hatris and PipeDream was the next game designed by Axeley Pajitnov after Tetris, Facetris & Welltris"

#Gamefemerides

Hace 40 años se lanzó el Family Computer o Famicom (ファミコン). Es un sistema casero de videojuegos de 8 bit de la III generación, producido, lanzado y mercadeado por @nintendo_jp . En Occidente tuvimos un modelo de exportación remodelado llamado @nintendolatam Entertainment System (NES).

Después de desarrollar varios juegos exitosos al inicio de los 80s, Nintendo planificó crear una consola de videojuegos. Rechazando propuestas más complejas, el presidente de Nintendo Hiroshi Yamauchi insistió en una consola simple y barata que corriera juegos albergados en cartuchos. El diseño del control fue reusado de juegos portátiles Game & Watch de Nintendo. Nintendo lanzó varios accesorios, como la pistola de luz para juegos de disparos como Duck Hunt.

Here's a very interesting topic created by Moon himself! Even after I made peace with third party publishers and indie developers, not only was Nintendo responsible for all the bad decisions they made since 2002 when the late and great Hiroshi Yamauchi left, but they somehow lost the magic it carried. Give this a watch if you support this channel, including third parties and indies.

If not, I recommend ignoring this post unless you're a fan of Nintendo. otherwise id go super sonic against yo ass
