Subject: My questions for the panel discussion in Siggraph 2009

Dears,
 
    Thank you for the panel discussions in ACM Siggraph 2009, “The Art History of Games”, in 6th, Aug. I am a fun of games from a table tennis, an invader video games. Currently, I like to play massive shooting games with easy mode, and an online game, “GungHo Emil Chonicle Online”. Sorry, I send my questions and messages for the discussion by e-mail, because I can speak English very little.
    As my questions and messages, I would like to know why you don’t pick up a kind of a shooting game. I think that a shooting game have a little history from Invader and Galaxian games. However, in the current game package market, major game makers don’t almost release any shooting game, because the business had become to too small.
    So, I would like to introduce an interesting one of the current shooting games in Japan. Massive shooting game by Team Shanghai Alice ( http://www16.big.or.jp/~zun/ ) is famous in Japanese OTAKU market. And I think that they have many art parts of original and unique music and unique visual effects for 2D ( http://the.nerd.jp/blogs/digip/archives/photo/07092301.jpg ). While, I feel very little bad that you can’t have find them, because the site is only in Japanese language.
    Major makers have continued to release their game products in category with big business. Where market do new games out of the category go? In Japanese, they have come to OTAKU market as Akihabara game shops, comic market (a major flea market) and so on. Otherwise, many legacy shooting games have been ported as such a mobile application as NTT Docomo i-Appli, and so on, and menus of Wii Console.
    So, I think that you should study Japanese market history and eco for games, also.
 
Thank you.
