Abstract

Abstract Nintendo’s first handheld game console was the Game&Watch. It was a major success in Japan, the United States, France and Germany. This article demonstrates how novel urban infrastructures such as the high-rise occupied the central game drive of early handheld gaming in the Game&Watch. Specifically, Japan and Germany display a coming to terms post WWII in regard to their national identity, economy and infrastructure. The nature of the Game&Watch as one of the first consoles with realistic game environments, as well as being handheld, emphasized the vagabondism of the postwar era in both its material setup and the visual display of the game environment.

期刊介绍： Architecture and Culture, the international award winning, peer-reviewed journal of the Architectural Humanities Research Association, investigates the relationship between architecture and the culture that shapes and is shaped by it. Whether culture is understood extensively, as shared experience of everyday life, or in terms of the rules and habits of different disciplinary practices, Architecture and Culture asks how architecture participates in and engages with it – and how both culture and architecture might be reciprocally transformed. Architecture and Culture publishes exploratory research that is purposively imaginative, rigorously speculative, visually and verbally stimulating. From architects, artists and urban designers, film-makers, animators and poets, from historians of culture and architecture, from geographers, anthropologists and other social scientists, from thinkers and writers of all kinds, established and new, it solicits essays, critical reviews, interviews, fictional narratives in both images and words, art and building projects, and design hypotheses. Architecture and Culture aims to promote a conversation between all those who are curious about what architecture might be and what it can do.
