So how did the Japanese come to dominate the video game industry?

>Japanese come to dominate the video game industry
When the FUCK did that ever happen? Sure Nintendo, Capcom and Konami were huge but they always had American subsidiaries that developed their own sometimes better games.
Sega of America always was the better side of the company while their Japanese counterpart constantly shot themselves in the foot.

Jap games never even mattered all that much.

Namco, Data East, SNK

Joust, Ms Pacman, Satan's Hollow, Defender, Rampage, NARC, Berzerk, Robotron, Total Carnage, Mortal Kombat, NBA JAM, San Francisco Rush, Hydro Thunder, were all huge hits and excellent arcade games.

Doesn't really matter that much. They still relied on their Japanese developers to make the games. Konami of America never actually made anything in-house until Broken Helix (which nobody remembers) and some other PS1 game I don't remember.

Only happened because Yuji Naka got transferred over to Sega of America. And then he fired the entire American half of the staff to make Sonic 3.

Man, I'm a huge patriot and everything but I'm not about to deny that Japan dominated the video game industry for most of the retro period.

Once Atari stumbled, Japan filled the console vacancy. Video game consoles might as well have been synonymous with Japan until Xbox and Microsoft has had to really hustle to stay in it.

As far as the arcades are concerned, just Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Street Fighter II and Donkey Kong cement Japan as the most successful arcade game designers.

We might discuss innovation, lasting effect on gaming and other subjective factors and we might try to pretend computer gaming represented something other than a small fraction of the market but by any objective criteria Japan definitely dominated the /vr/ era of gaming.

Please tell us how in the fuck the west dominate the retro gaming industry, is everything i am asking from you, /v/irgin.

Depends on what your opinion of domination is. All I'm saying is the West pushed real time 3D hardware way earlier than Sega ever dreamed of coming up with their Model 1 arcade board.

Were the games good though? no, which is why Sega or Namco games are more remembered than some weak ass games by Atari or Midway

Japs might have had some advantage from 4th to 6th gen. But even then the best sellers in America were different from the best sellers in Japan, and most big Japanese titles were developed with the American market in mind like Bio Hazard originally having English dubbing and Konami porting their games to Sega Genesis despite Sega selling like shit in Japan.

I played a Kamen Rider in a Japanese Arcade once, you had an online account that leveled up and LAN PVP was highly encouraged. It's a cool concept that couldn't be replicated by home consoles but it's nothing like the old days.

The social aspect only matters for fighting games. There's no social element in playing a shmup.

Arcades with shmups have leaderboards and crews that compete between each other, way to prove you don't know shit about what you are talking about

The point is, why would a Jap fan bother playing Daifukkatsu at an arcade when they could play at home for free and with savestates and fast forwarding.

If there's a leaderboard it's not automatically tracked by the machine. I did emulate CAVE SH3 games and they have none of that shit.

Ask them, they don't a shit about playing on consoles "competitively"; which is the reason nobody plays the console-only version of Mushihimesama Futari. All the competition is centered on arcades

Fair enough. But how many people still play a 11 year old game competitively? Not that much. It's just a small niche of autists, 99% of players are comfortable enough with inaccurate console ports and emulation.

Are you reading the thread? Japanese Game Centers are NOTHING like they were 10 years ago. Now they are glorified cellphone and card games.

>>4214962
That site is mostly for western players who have no arcades to play at, there aren't many world records there. In Japan Gamest/Arcadia magazine are very prestigious and where most people track their records, that's where most world records for arcade games are.

You're a fucking idiot, Nintendo of America barely did anything outside of star tropics and translating, Capcom of America to my knowledge barely did shit, and Konami of America didn't really do anything Either.

I'll give you sega of America part since they did do a lot of good games, but I'd argue Japanese sega made better game.

>sonic 2
A lot of the work was done by the japs
>Comix Zone
I'll give you that one
>Kid Chameleon
It's an okay game, but nothing too good

At least mention die hard arcade next time, also before you say
>But SA2!
If you look at the dev team photos of Sonic Adventure 2, you'd probably realize they're mostly gooks
>>

>die hard arcade
That wasn't made by Americans either.
>>
>>4218178
Looking on wikipedia, it mostly just looks like the Americans did the art and stuff, while the Japanese did all the real work on it

It seems like the same thing with Sonic 2 and a couple others to me.

>Atari
After about the early mid 80s or so, Atari went through so many changes
>Bally and Williams
They were mainly a slot machine and pinball company
>Midway
Had a hit once every few years, but not really constant enough, unless Mortal Kombat was in the name

>>4215117
SEGA and others have been doing this shit for quite a while, it's nothing new and they'll make other games

Believe it or not, Konami still makes arcade games like bombergirl

Japanese gamecenters cater to both, though there are many Japanese gamecenters that cater to the more niche crowd of autistically obsessed shmup players, even ones that are practically "muh sekret vertical shmup/Tetris TGM club" that are litterally "Random rooms hidden in some building with a couple candy cabs".

Western arcades are practically an after thought and are just there in the corner to get some idiot's dollar, 99% the time all they are is just some dumb way to make slightly more money, which is why many of them are some shitty raw thrills game, mspacman/galaga or shitty redemption game, and usually sit there unmaintained as literally none of the staff gives a single shit, they already got your money after your failed attempt to play the game due to poor calibration (seriously, you try finding a correctly calibrated Daytona or correctly calibrated lightgun game).

Only thing that's even remotely catching on is barcades, but even then the arcade games are just there secondary to the booze, and aren't even catered to hardcore players, just "whoa, nostalgia! old games! so 80s!", and literally most of the ones I went into are barely populated and I'm usually the only one playing the games while everyone is just drinking and maybe playing one of the pinball machines or touching the bubble bobble.

To put it simply, people don't want to bother getting out of their house to play competitively when they can just sit at home and all the competitive games they like are on PC (or PS4 if you like fightan' games, or Nintendo if you're that kind of Smash retard), and shmups have a non-existent fanbase in the west. Arcades are pretty much dead and unless you're going to put a gamecenter (With real games and not just dumb shit) in every city and just some how do random mind tricks to get people in there, they're not coming back, and it's debatable whether they were even in America to begin with.

Have you been to Japan? Game Centers are dying, bro.

western incompetence and being unable to design games guaranteed their inferiority and second place position for decades to come. they still haven't caught up to Japan.

Ugh it's more pedo moeshit. I'd wish they kept the Bomberman carcass dead rather than rape its corpse.

Say what you want about Raw Thrills it's still more of an Arcade experience than account based card shit.
>>
>>4214790
But this is like saying Amiga was a good gaming platform because it had all those wacky techdemos.
>>
>>4222263
Still better than generic war scenario FPS
>>
>>4214634
Because the west makes garbage games and got BTFO. Arcade, console, portable, Japs rekt them. You can have your western pity party on the PC LOLOLOL.
>>
>>4222324
Fuck off, of course generic western marines fighting communism is better than pedo moeshit for desperate Otaku virgins.
>>
>>4222326
The American Arcade scene still lives on through Raw Thrills meanwhile all Japan has been doing is cardbased moeshit for virgin losers like you.

That's not really fair. NBA Hangtime was the only sports title I like. It is almost a rpg.

Me and my buddy had a cow and a werewolf. We had a 157 game streak. We left as winners, and the game is still saved safe at moms house....just in case they start handing awards out for dumb shit.

The American industry crashed, the American devs (the ones that were still around) moved to PC, then PS1 brought PC devs back to consoles and arcades died and that gave the American devs dominance again.

Japan has only dominated arcade video gaming consistently.

They were central in re-establishing console gaming, but after the retro era they've diminished considerably and lost major ground to Western companies and devs.

PC gaming has been Western-driven from its beginning.

>PC gaming has been Western-driven from its beginning.
only because the american government stopped japan from making their own stuff
>>
>>4224434
What about PC-88, PC-98, MSX, Sharp x68000, Fujitsu FM-7, FM Towns, Sharp x1?
>>
>>4224462
As much as I like those systems, even I have to admit that most of the shit on those systems are hentai, though the X68000 had awesome homeports and doujins, similar can be said for the FM Towns which also had some pretty nice ports of western games, like Ultima 6 and such

but MAME is shit, one version has a game working fine, and then the next one,
game no longer works cause LOL wrong dumpset.
