J. LEAGUE.JP JAPAN PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Before the inception of the J.League, the highest level of club football was the Japan Soccer League (JSL), which consisted of amateur clubs.[8][9] Despite being well-attended during the boom of the late 60's and early 70's (when Japan's national team won the bronze Olympic medal at the 1968 games in Mexico), the JSL went into decline in the 80's, in general line with the deteriorating situation worldwide. Fans were few, the grounds were not of the highest quality, and the Japanese national team was not on a par with the Asian powerhouses. To raise the level of play domestically, to attempt to garner more fans, and to strengthen the national team, the Japan Football Association (JFA) decided to form a professional league.

The professional association football league, J.League was formed in 1992, with eight clubs drawn from the JSL First Division, one from the Second Division, and the newly formed Shimizu S-Pulse. At the same time, JSL changed its name and became the Japan Football League, a semi-professional league. Although the J.League did not officially launch until 1993, the Yamazaki Nabisco Cup competition was held between the ten clubs in 1992 to prepare for the inaugural season.

http://tinyurl.com/jfkhbjm

The competition is open to any eligible club down to Levels 10 of the English football league system – all 92 professional clubs in the Premier League and Football League (Levels 1 to 4), and several hundred "non-league" teams in Steps 1 to 6 of the National League System (Levels 5 to 10).A record 763 clubs competed in 2011–12. The tournament consists of 12 randomly drawn rounds followed by the semi-finals and the final. Entrants are not seeded, although a system of byes based on league level ensures higher ranked teams enter in later rounds – the minimum number of games needed to win the competition ranges from six to fourteen.

The first six rounds are the Qualifying Competition, from which 32 teams progress to the first round of the Competition Proper, meeting the first of the 92 professional teams. The last entrants are the Premier League and Championship clubs, into the draw for the Third Round Proper.In the modern era, non-league teams have never reached the quarter finals, and teams below Level 2 have never reached the final.[note 1] As a result, as well as who wins, significant focus is given to those "minnows" (smaller teams) who progress furthest, especially if they achieve an unlikely "giant-killing" victory.

Winners receive the FA Cup trophy, of which there have been two designs and five actual cups; the latest is a 2014 replica of the second design, introduced in 1911. Winners also qualify for European football and a place in the FA Community Shield match.

That’s true. that the basic premise this point was, we have a tendency to started by desperate to build a Mario game that you just play one-handed. And if you think that concerning Mario games up as yet, usually Mario games area unit terribly straightforward and anyone will play them. however as you get deeper into the mechanics it gets more difficult. for a few individuals, they need a tough time running, victimisation the ‘B’ button to dash, or jumping whereas making an attempt to run and dash at an equivalent time. that the approach we have a tendency to took was, “How will we have a tendency to take that essence of the simplicity of Mario and convey it to mobile devices?” which meant wondering a game that might run mechanically, on its own, however wherever there’s still the challenge of jumping and things like that, that area unit unambiguously Mario.

We’ve conjointly ready the battle mode, as you saw, and this can be very in gear toward folks that simply have many minutes to play. It’s a brief mode you'll be able to play terribly quickly. and also the different issue is we’re delivery in a very variety of components that add ability and technique. As you restore at those skills and techniques, you’ll have plenty of motivation to contend for prime scores and things like that.

I perpetually think about you as operating in Nintendo’s pilothouse, coming up with for Nintendo’s hardware and also the software-hardware holistic theory issue. With Super Mario Run, 1/2 that image involves a totally completely different company’s hardware. Were there any attention-grabbing or uncommon style lessons you learned operating with another manufacturer’s hardware?

So this dates back to some extent in time once our hardware systems were the amount one diversion platforms within the world. however currently we have a tendency to see that good devices have reached important penetration across the world. thus for United States as designers, our goal is usually to undertake to bring our characters ANd games to as broad an audience as doable.

In addition to the present game, we’re clearly still functioning on different games for our own hardware systems. And what’s vital, is that we glance at the distinctive options of the hardware systems. that the games being designed for our hardware can take distinctive advantage of our systems. With good devices currently, they notice themselves within the pockets of individuals UN agency don’t usually play video games, and it’s a awfully straightforward interface. thus what we’ve done is we’ve checked out however we will profit of the uniquenesses of that mobile platform, and style a Mario game that’s excellent for that kind of straightforward interface and broader user base.

Of course there area unit different mobile devices we’ll be delivery the sport to later. however with the Apple devices, their hardware style is such there’s not a lot of you have got to try and do from a compatibility point of view across multiple completely different devices. It’s terribly efficient. and that i assume simply from a philosophical point of view, there area unit components of their style that area unit just like ours. thus that’s why we’re delivery it to iPhone 1st.

In addition to all or any of that, we’re operating with [Japanese mobile and e-commerce provider] DeNA on a little of the sport, that area unit the weather of growing and increasing and customizing the Mario gameplay.
