Olympics and video games – the obvious and not-so-obvious links

February 19, 2010 in Blog comments 5

Michael Lafferty discusses the connections to video games that went right under the noses of the media at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada.

Nobunari is the 17th descendent of Oda Nobunaga, a warlord in the 16th-century feudal Japanese era. Nobunage was also the center piece in a series of video games originally released by KOEI beginning in 1988 called Nobunaga’s Ambition.

    NBC actually noted the linked between Oda Nobunari and Oda Nobunaga, and even name-dropped Nobunaga's Ambition live.

    It made me lol

    I doubt the warlord was THAT flexable.

    What a terrible article. So Nobunaga's descendant is a figure skater. Who the *bleep* cares?

    Oda Nobunaga was a real life warlord and your basic point of this article is that games are connected to the olympics because he had some games made about him and his descendant is a figure skater?

    This is just a random tidbit of information you mention to your mates if it pops up in conversation, not news. -_-
