/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I do. It's really fun to see him go through the games and never give up no matter how bad things go.
The Lemmings 24 hr. live special was harrowing to watch.

Densha de Go and Tokimeki Memorial episodes were the best for me. I never got the appeal of the train sim games, but after 15m I was yelling at the screen to hit the brakes.

I love them. I just recently discovered it a week or two ago actually.

plays a scary ass game and doesn't give a fuck.

>>8857080
which episode was that pic with the rei figure from? I remember seeing it but I don't remember the game.

>>8857142
Episode 23: Adventure Island
The Rei capture is from the tamage segment, when he wins at the beer slide arcade. Man, they have so many fun games there...

Dude, I just watched that episode this afternoon. I started watching from the second season, a couple months ago, and I cant stop watching that show.

I need japanese subs for this

I prefer Gaki no Tsukai.

best thread on /v/ right now

>>8857179
Why he's so beta

>>8857498
because he's sitting next to Arino

>>8857478
Arino imagining the next Batsu, how does it sound ?
Downtown must play a hard as fuck video game and everytime they die in the game they get chased by leathermen.
well, it doesn't sounds that good

>>>/v/

>>8857055
It took me time to see his eyes in this pic.

Densha de Go was the best episode.

>>8859136
I downloaded one of the densha de go games ("Final") after seeing him play. Turns out that one is way easier than the game he played, though.

I would enjoy watching Arino play one of the first touhous, why hasn't it been done yet.

I started watching his stuff when someone recommended it on here. Just watched the one where he plays the Challenger.

I don't know what it is, but the show has a charm that makes me keep watching it.

>>8859191
he is terrible at STG, they point this out on the show just about every episode.

watching him play zombie nation was pretty hilarious though.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF4f6D3BeMY

>>8859191
Because it's on PC, the entire focus of the challenges is on console games.

>>8859226
It's true he's bad at STG, but he's played several (and failed almost all of them, passing Gradius in season 16 ONLY because he had massive help). If memory serves, he's played Gradius, Twinbee, Super Fantasy Zone, Star Force, and Super Star Force.

My favorite episode is the Punch-Out episode (#86).

Gamecenter looks really cute! He looks so charming (for his age!) and he has that cool looking coat and hairstyle!

I like it before it was cool. Get on my level

Yeah I love this show. Arino isn't notable for his skill, but for his determination, and that's whats fun to watch imo..

>>8859282
He may be bad at shooters, but he's even worse at fighters. He can't pull moves for crap, and let's not forget what happened in the Fatal Fury episode.

What he needs to play is more puzzle games, his specialty. If he breezes through them, I'm sure he could finish Championship Lode Runner with enough time.

>>8859451
Haha, yeah Futile Fury. He seems terrible at shooters, bad at fighters, average at platformers, and good at puzzle for the most part. I still like watching him prove the AD's wrong when they tell him something isn't possible in a puzzle game (ala the ladder jump in DragonSlayer)

>>8859451
>even worse at fighters
YOGA FIRE is forever burned into my mind.

Overrated shit.

>>8859451
Didn't he play that game in the second "Moshi Moshi/Ring Ring" series of segments?

>>8859644
He didn't finish it, though. Nobody sent him anything after the fourth stage, given how hard the game is.

Weird thing is how Lode Runner is featured in the show's opening (it's the cart on the Famicom) but he never challenged it before.

>>8859855
It could be a candidate for the next live event/DVD special or something.

I also have the sadistic desire to see him try Ninja Gaiden 3, what with it only having 5 continues.

>>8857055

sick pic, using this as my background

>>8860033
It does resember Arino at all, though.

>>8860047
doesn't*

no, it's being translated by subhumans and that wrecks any desirability it might have to me

as such, even posting it is like helping their agenda, so I wish you'd refrain.

>>8860025
The Famicom version doesn't have any of that bullshit, they're infinite instead.
We're the ones that got screwed over, not the japanese.

You know what game he should play next? This classic here.

>>8860069

in fact, one might go so far as to say that any post about it might as well be an ad for them. i guess that's all the more reason to learn japanese instead of letting some translator who might be fudging it do the work for you.

>>8860069
what's wrong with the translation?

umm, watch the original in japanese then?

>>8860025
>>8860073
You faggots shouldn't be using continues anyway.

any new recent episodes?

I already watched 10 episodes and it's really fun! My favourite part is when he goes to these game shops. I'm glad there is much more episodes to watch.

>>8860184
This one, he played Kung Fu Heroes.

http://ginfo377.blog26.fc2.com/blog-entry-461.html

Next episode might possibly be Dynamite Headdy.

>>8860073
Ryuukenden 3 had infinite continues? Huh, learn something new every day.

>>8860169
>Implying we're the ones playing the games.

>>8860223
Yep. Also passwords. I'm telling ya, we got the short end of the stick.

Next episode is this 16, midnight Japan time. I hope it comes up on Freshverse, they've got HD quality.

>>8860115
He was talking about the translators. Most of the episodes are translated by a group of people from the Something Awful forums.

>>8860252
still, who really cares WHO translated it as long as it is well done? I mean I watch the Raws, but if I watched the subbed episodes, I could care less who actually translated it as long as it was translated correctly

>>8860201
Well, it's Dynamite something or other, looking forward to it either way. Also, amusingly enough, the new AD is also named "Itou" (though spelled with different kanji than the previous AD Itou Akane).

>>8860243
>passwords
Insanity.

One of the funnier things, IMO was in the Comix Zone episode during the Retro game line reading segment. Arino and some other lady (Nishiyama...? My kanji reading power level is kinda low) read a scene from Rockman X, Arino reading X's lines and the lady reading Zero's lines.

The problem was that it was Zero's death scene, and X doesn't talk AT ALL, so Arino had nothing to read. It just struck me as funny.

I'd love to see him play Silver Surfer...but I doubt he'd do any games that weren't released in Japan.

>>8860379
He played a bunch of Western Games.
Lemmings and Robocop, to list the ones that immediately come to mind

>>8860379
Arino did play Robocop for the NES although it was for the special USA episode

>>8860402
>>8860405
they were American games but they both had versions released for famicom/super famicom. Silver Surfer was only released for NES, it wasn't localized in Japan.

Someone has the photo of his daughters? I can't seem to find it.

>>8860453
Here's the wife instead.

Started the series by second season(youtube said it was episode 1), then I realized that there was a first season, started watching her now. Good lord this game end made me laugh.

>>8860514
Beat Takeshi: Ultimate troll

>>8860223
Who are you quoting, anon?

>>8860514
I still gotta beat that one on an actual console.

GCCX made me buy a Famicom and about 45 carts, which I bought in just a year and a half.

Gamecenter CX were the first 実況プレイ type videos I watched, and I enjoyed it at the time, but it's kind of not so entertaining compared to the stuff on nicovideo.

>>8860744
GCCX made me really interested in a Famicom as well, but I honestly wonder if it wouldn't be better to just grab a standard NES and then use one of the famicom adapters nintendo built on some of their early NES carts. It doesn't help I got into the series through the DS games.

Also just watched the SMB3 episode, that world 8 airship man

>>8860804
I've been debating the same thing, I think I'm gonna end up getting an actual famicom because I'll probably want to get the disk system at some point.

>>8860896
I consider the Disk System one of the coolest things in the universe(alongside the Hudson Shooting Watch) for no reason at all, so it's been one of my arguments for a famicom as well, despite the fact the damn thing doesn't have replaceable controllers and is hard to plug on a non-japanese TV.

>>8860744
Good Luck on the singing part.

>>8860960
The hardest part is probably those passwords, they're 20 characters long and in hiragana.

But If Arino can do it, so can anyone.

>>8860995
You shouldn't underestimate Arino.

>>8861015
I'm not, I'm just saying what you need, as he says himself, is tenacity.

By the way, Legacy of the Wizard was the best episode. All those moments and that title card with the multiple Arino faces.

>>8861087
god, some of those title cards are pure gold.

>>8861241
I thought they were completely plastic.

>>8861274

>>8861241
I wonder where I can find more of 'em.

Some were downright creepy, though.

I just love GCCX, wish they'd sub the Battletoads episodes, though.

>>8861466
I'm glad that Arino seems to enjoy western games.

lol

we talk about /v/ show in /jp/ XDDDDDDDD

>>8861466
He did Battletoads? Man i wanna watch it. A raw is fine too.

>>8862439
maybe because it's japanese?

>>8862450
Too bad the Japanese Battletoads is easier.

>>8862439
arino crosses board boundaries with his gaming spirit.

>>8862499
I like you.

>>8860243

>Next episode is this 16

Is this series still airing?

>>8862536
Yes. It's been airing for a while.

Like I've said in another Gamecenter CX thread, I've only seen Tokyo Underground.

Now that I'm watching this, I can tell where they got most of the material from.

My aim is to learn enough moonspeak so i can understand what they're saying so i don't have to rely on those subtitlers.

>>8862598
I think the subs do a pretty decent job.

the SA ones, anyway. the TV-Nihon ones are alright, thankfully most of them were from around 2004-2006 so there isn't nearly as much kisama-tachi as some of their later releases.

>>8862536
S16 just premiered this past Thursday. will be 20 episodes long.

I have never seen anyone as bad at games as arino

For christ sakes, I can beat super mario world in like 2 hours, but he took like 24 hours and over 300 lives. I have never seen such horrible control.

>>8862862
Yeah, when I saw his Fatal Fury Special I kept thinking "Good Lord Arino".

/v/ please go

>>8862661

SA a shit

>>8862450
It's not the same thing because Rare dumbed down the difficulty for the Famicom release. The same thing happened with DKC.

Why were they such incompetents to the point they didn't know the japanese liked their games hard?

Wow, a bump that disappears in seconds, leaving only the thread. Look at this magic technology. No, we're not being raided.

>>8862450

>>8862862

The person who subs these pisses me off. If they have hard subs how can I use them to practice Japanese? I guess everyone else on /jp/ must be fluent so it doesn't bother them.

>>8868279

>I guess everyone else on /jp/ must be fluent so it doesn't bother them.

The majority is not hence why they're watching subs, and I think even the more knowledgeable among us have difficulty with spoken Japanese.

Somebody make me an 1920x1200 version of the OP wallpaper.

been watching since about 06 or 07, cant remember what year

arino is the only guy i will sit and watch play a game

fuck youtube lets players

I hate that a bunch of Call of Doodie kids know about this show now that kotaku is doing gay translations of it.

Foreigners ruining my glorious /jp/ programming.

>>8868358
>fuck lets players unneeded and uncalled for commentary

I tried on pants like this once and it made me look like I was wear a diaper.

hurr durr

It's /v/ first to talk about this show, there are tons of thread everyday in /v/, it's /v/ and kotaku made it popular and well-known

Have /jp/ ever talk about this shoe before /v/ and kotaku?

actually NO

>>8868383
>It's /v/ first to talk about this show, there are tons of thread everyday in /v/

Really now?

>>8868382
You say that like it is a bad thing

>>8868383
This show has been around for fucking years. I have seen my fair share of threads about it way before 2012.

It's "popular" now because a mainstream gaming website is offering it to you so they can get increased traffic instead of you finding people who genuinely enjoy the show and have been fansubbing it for years now.

>>8868390
http://archive.foolz.us/v/search/text/Gamecenter/order/desc/

And Gamecenter CX thread should just go back to /v/

how is this thread /jp/ related?

is video game /jp/ now?

seriouly, FUCK OFF, ALL OF YOU

soon enough we'll have Gamecenter USA on G4TV, where a crew of faux-hawked black-rimmed glasses-wearing "gamer nerds" (along with the token female) play all the latest console exclusives.

not /jp/ related in the first place

and /jp/ should care about Gamecenter CX because?

this thread sucks ass
