>DQ2
Either they will have to edit the holy hell out of it, or make it a 3-parter or something. DQ2 is much longer than DQ1, and a hell of a lot harder too.

>>10834831
>2 months of Dragon Quest episodes

On the topic of JRPGs, I'm playing Chrono Trigger atm and thought it would have made a good two parter for GCCX. Kind of surprised he's never played it.
I need to get back to watching some eps of this, might knock over a season when I finish what i'm watching currently.
What's your favourite season, anons?

>>10834840
>2 months of Dragon Quest episodes
That sounds awesome

>>10834831
>>10834840
honestly thatd be cool. DQ1 was a boring episode but i found it extremely comfy and enjoyable.

OP's greentext is from it. Good to link it in the OP because somebody always asks something that it answers.

How old where you when you discovered that the cameraman in the Resident Evil DVD special was telling the truth?

>>10836439
Oh? Remind me of what he was talking about again?

Marchen Maze Subs when?

>>10834831
>>10834967
They could have picked literally anything else. Pikmin is a game they're most certainly going to do at some point, and it's not the best game ever, or the best challenge possible, but it's better than DQ2.

>DQ2

In b4 they just give him a password with maxed out characters and cope about it

>>10838991
The only time they did that was when he soft locked himself in saint seiya

They'd be setting up Arino to fail because it takes 3 hours if you know what you're doing, and there's the strict in game time limit.

The Um Jammer Lammy episode where Arino and the AD are humming the guitar parts for 3 hours during that tree cutting level is the hardest I’ve ever laughed at this show, they both sounded deaf. Any other funny moments that stand out?

>>10838947
Never, not even that good of an episode so stop asking. Just learn moon at this point.

Dungeon Explorer bros... when we getting our time to shine?

>>10840198
Why isn't it a good episode?

>>10834759
Bros did DQ1 get subbed?
Also I wanna see arino play a Sim racer, the densha de go ep with the little throttle stick was fun to watch

>>10840198
Why learn moon? The show was nice enough to translate that line for us because it's super important.

>>10840710
DQ1s been subbed for a while now

>>10836945
About the place where they filmed the starting FMV, idk if the rest of the stuff he said was true (like him working for the company that did it) but he said where they filmed it years before the actors confirmed it

I got up to season 20, I can't believe it took them 20 seasons to come up with the idea of a trivia show based on retro games but it's pretty good, wish more episodes of this season were translated just to see this show desu

>>10841664
Damn, he looked so young back then.

Oh shit...

is there a way to stream this aside from twitch? downloading them is too much because they are too big for me. i found some on bilibili but they are incomplete, there are no newly subbed episodes there.

>>10842892
You can't torrent them?

>>10842905
you can stream torrents?

>>10842909
If you download them first

>>10842845
So what's the secret?

>>10842912
that's what i want to avoid. I have limited storage and download -> watch -> delete seems to be redundant.

>>10842918
Sorry anon, it wouldn't be right of me to spoil it...you'll just have to watch the Ikki episode to find out...

>>10842931
Although if you don't feel like watching a whole episode to find out...I guess as long as I spoiler it...

>>10842892
Is there a reason why Twitch is no good? I mean I know there are many reasons it sucks, but for watching GCCX specifically?

>>10840290
It has been a while since I watched it, but it just wasn't memorable aside from the "I hate trump!" bit. There's better episodes that haven't been translated yet is what I'm saying.
>>10840721
Learn moon so you don't have to rely on someone to sub for you. They're so far behind I imagine the show will end before the subbers catch up.

Speaking of which, is there no raw release of Super Pinch Out!!! yet? Haven't been able to find it and not in the pastebin.

>>10842968
>He thinks Arino yelling 'I Hate Trump' is the only memorial part of the Märchen Maze challenge.

>>10842986
Okay, so besides the finale of Quiz Famionare, remind me what is exciting about the episode?

>>10838986
>it's better than DQ2
You're not the target audience, nobody cares what games you want or don't want them to play.

>>10843024
but I'm Cameraman Abe.

>>10838947
Is it not subbed already?

>>10842968
>Speaking of which, is there no raw release of Super Pinch Out!!! yet? Haven't been able to find it and not in the pastebin.
It's not in the pastebin, but there's a few episodes of it on Dailymotion. You can rip it from there using jdownloader2.

>>10843003
Not him, but:
Takeda saying goodbye
Cliffhanger crossing two seasons

Sets up the revenge at the 15th anniversary show
It's one of the more consequential challenges in quite a while.

>>10842968
>>10843040
It looks like there aren't any copies up yet that aren't dailymotion rips. It's not on nigoli's blog yet either.

Is there a GCCX discord or is this server basically the only place that the English fanbase congregates? I know it used to be centered around Something Awful back in the day but I'm pretty sure that site died ages ago.

>>10843069

* this THREAD. I'm sleepy.

>>10843003
I'll even play your game and keep it to the first episode instead just having you be BTFO outright by adding part two.

It's a cross season 2 parter, which has only been done once before, getting to the 2nd boss, but immediately getting killed and game overing while the boss was still off screen, all the moving platform segments, but specially part in stage seven where he falls and the game then instantly kills him again, Arino predicting the boss of stage six would be Trump and getting it wrong.
It's Yuuko Takeda's final episode, the sad GameCenter CX NEWS segment about the store where they recorded a scene for GameCenter CX: The Movie closing down and Matsui going there to pick up stuff the owners were donating to the store including the microscope Arino eyeballed when he visited. Arino acing the pachino game, getting tricked by the cards he bought because none of them matched the cover art character, and Inoko MAX being fascinated by the wiggler worm for the TamaGe.

>>10843037
The screenshot ritual post is something the staff subbed into English themselves.
Arino was being attacked by playing cards in the game, and the Japanese word for them is 'trump'. The episode was recorded right when Donald Trump was president, so it was just an opportunity for Arino to do some double meaning word play and shit on Trump with the staff.
The opening quote is even 'Arino vs Trump'.

What was the episode Arino mentioned Cream Lemon? I thought that was surprising for him to mention something so spicy on a kid's show.

>>10843121
Quiz the Feudal Lord's Ambition.

>>10843086
Calm down dude, I wasn't being sarcastic when I asked you to remind me what was so interesting about the episodes. Not everything on the internet is some big fight, and "BTFO"-ing someone on a viet basket weaving forum isn't that big of an accomplishment. Anyway, thanks for the summary. I'm only a few eps away from watching MM again so I'll keep what you've said in mind.

>>10843126
Damn, that was fast. You know your Arino lore. Thanks.

>>10843130
If you're going to be sassy, don't expect the kids glove treatment and then complain, especially on 4chan.
Like this anon said >>10843041
Märchen Maze was one of the most consequential challenges in quite a while.
It was a strong enough challenge that they made it the Main Event challenge for Makuhari Messe.

Also, part 2 deserves to be subbed just because it's the only other time in the show's history that AD Yamada was mentioned outside of his short appearance in the first episode.

>>10843086
>Arino was being attacked by playing cards in the game, and the Japanese word for them is 'trump'.
Yes I'm aware. I see that anon post the image all the time and cringe because he probably thinks it's about Donald Trump. I thought that episode had already been subbed though. I would offer to translate it but I can't be fucked.

>>10843168
>part 2 deserves to be subbed
Not that anon but why not just learn Japanese? It's really not hard, and you'll be able to play more games also.

>>10843279
It was a joke at the expense of Donald Trump, but keep telling yourself otherwise.

>>10843279
>I could translate it, but just don't feel like it because it's too hard.
Earthworm Jim-fag 2.0 everyone

>>10843292
I doubt Arino even knew who Trump was at the time that was recorded.

>>10843302
Before you make yourself look even more dumb, have you even seen the episode in question?

>>10843310
I'm saying how many ordinary Japanese citizens can name the US president? It's the same for Americans knowing who is the president of Japan. Maybe 1 in 100 knows that, most just don't care if it doesn't directly affect them.

>>10843318
Just stop before this turns into a /pol/ thread.

>>10843295
If you're referring to the guy who offered to translate it almost three years ago, that was me. I didn't stop because it was too hard. I stopped because I moved and went back to school, and therefore didn't have the time to some on it. After a while I just forgot all about doing it.

>>10843318
So you haven't seen the episode, and are just pulling out statistics from your ass.
Good to know you're just being pridefully retarded now.

>>10843324
Are you going to finish it?

>>10843324
*Spend
>>10843318
I was living in Japan during Trump's first campaign, people definitely knew about Trump. It was a harmless double entendre about Trump, so what? Seeing it posted in every GCCX thread is a little annoying though.

>>10843327
I wasn't really planning on it, to be honest. If I did it wouldn't be for at least another year, since I'm working a book right now.

>>10843348
>Since I'm working a book right now.
You're writing a book, or helping with publishing it?

>>10843302
It's obviously a reference to Trump otherwise the word wouldn't have been capitalized.
That screenshot isn't from a subbed release, the editors of the show purposefully put in the english line as a joke.

>>10843318
>how many ordinary Japanese citizens can name the US president?
Japanese people loved Trump, so to answer your question: lots.

>>10842945
not being able to choose an episode is annoying, but recently they've been either going down a lot or they're playing untranslated episodes

>>10843318
They show clips of Biden and Trump on tv there constantly, pretty sure everyone there knows who they are aside from maybe small kids.

>>10843567
What channel even plays gccx now? The only one I see was last live 4 years ago. I watch the vaughn live hawk one but they play the same few episodes over and over.

>>10843581
Absolutely. Japan is directly tied to America so Japanese news regularly reports on what's going on over there. For example, the weak yen problem that Japan is currently suffering from is due to Biden's economic policies. It would be weird if a Japanese person didn't know who the current US president is.

>>10843562

>>10843640
No I'm serious. He was very popular here because his policies were good for Japan. Also he was funny.

>>10843608
>Trying to over simplify the issues and intentionally keeping it vague to push an agenda.
For anyone who actually wants to know why the Yen is so weak, it's because Japan is one of the few countries to keep their interests rates low, while most other countries have been raising them. The Yen has lost value to almost every western currency as a result.
Also consider reading this for the other reason.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/explainer-why-japanese-yen-weak-063415513.html
There was also Abe's house of cards economic policies which relied on tried and failed things like Trickle Down Economics.

>>10843672
Sir, could you at least make your lies a little believable to anyone who doesn't have access to any polling data from the past 8 years?

>>10843673
Why are you lying? They eventually raised the interest rates and it made the yen sink lower.
>>10843681
Anon, I'm not lying. Japanese people loved Trump.

>>10843698
So you're just going to continue to lie and ignore the facts, okay.

>>10843698
>Japanese people loved Trump.
And they will again this election. The best times are yet to come.

Stop samefagging, it's embarrassing.

Does anyone subscribe to the fanclub?

>>10843702
You accuse me of lying and ignoring facts but you haven't presented anything that proves your argument.

I think I know who is and isn't popular in my own country.

>>10843024
I get it - the millennials and their kids are the target audience. For Japan "retro gaming" is primarily the FC, SFC, then PCE and a tiny bit of MD. That's roughly how the breakdown of the game challenges work. BUT long ass rpgs just don't work for the show because they're long and they're NOT skill based challenges. The best parts of the show are Arino just brute forcing old hard ass retro games.

>>10844137
Please shut the fuck up

I've really messed up only watching the main episodes. Are all the little side challenge episodes this good?

>>10844302
Didn't I tell you to watch everything?

>>10845135
Honestly I'm probably missing some really great stuff. I've only watched one of the travelogue episodes, one of the country visit episodes (America), and I skip a lot of the really basic arcade games he plays like Wrecking Crew because I just kind of find the gameplay repetitive to watch. I'm trying to force myself to branch out more now though, since I've seen basically everything else.

>>10845161
That's why I said watch everything. It's a great show, and even small bonus stuff is really enjoyable like the time he played Balloon Fight on Nintendo Channel and Iwata was there.

>>10845269
I don't think I'm the person you think I am, but I guess I should still watch everything. I've literally been watching this show and avoiding the trips/travelogues for like 10+ years now probably.

>>10843069
Curious about this too. I love talking GCCX here, but the threads are often sporadic and it would be cool to shoot the breeze with more fans.

>>10843069
>I'm pretty sure that site died ages ago.
It didn't. The owner just got cancelled and sold it to a mod who runs it now. The GCCX thread is still up.

>>10842940
He still can't sing though.

>>10844183
long ass rpgs don't work for the show. Hell, I'd welcome a horse betting game over this.

>>10844183
no argument lol

>>10839438
Surprised Incredible Crisis hasnt been done yet. But there's been very few psx games on the show. Would like to see Intelligent Qube just to see how far he can get lmao. Would be fun for a small side bit.

>Pretending he lives in Japan
I want flags just to expose you.

>>10847185
>Would like to see Intelligent Qube just to see how far he can get lmao.

They did a two parter on it in 2015.

>>10847185
He already did Intelligent Qube, it was one of the most boring challenges ever.

>>10846247
I would make one but if you post a link mods might take it down

>>10847192

>>10848386
>>10848402
Wouldn't the music rights issues probably prevent them from playing Sonic 3?

>>10848809
It's on Dailymotion, just download it using jdownloader

>>10848642
They need to get the rights from the rights holder of the IP, as well as the publisher, so they likely won't. They are doing one anime/manga game per season almost now.

I think for western series, they might do a Loony Tunes game at some point. There's a few really good Anamaniacs and Tiny Toons games.

>>10850234
>they likely won't.
What makes you say that? I'm pretty sure they have played irem games on the show before.

>>10850793
It is not just Irem. Dino City based on is a made for tv movie from America, so they’d have to negotiate with Smart Egg productions or whoever holds the rights to them. Ie more work than it is worth when they could just get an original ip.

Where did they get that time? Did they just take THEIR best time and challenge Arino to beat it? Are they not aware they're all massively better at games than he is? There was no way in hell he was gonna do that. At least pick a time more manageable for Arino. Have a sense of game design.

>>10851420
That was great fun. Arigato to the Scouts.

>>10851420
Nice

>>10851420
I remember this game being so fucking hard, but then I remembered it was just because I was trying to 1cc it on hard for some reason. Somebody really should've told him the last boss is just unthrowable though. Thank god he didn't have to play the fucking arcade version, too.

>>10851045
Yeah, shame. They do licsened games sometimes, like Batman, or TMNT, but it has to be big enough with enough of a fanbase in Japan to warrant it.

Some ideas for licsened games that they could do in the future:
>City Hunter (PCE)
>Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose!
>Area 88 (SFC)
>Ghost sweeper Mikami (SFC)
>Gon (SFC)

>>10848498
Too niche. Likely outed yourself as one obsessive spamming.

There already was one. Now there's two I guess.

>>10855268
I bookmarked that one ages ago. Maybe it was offline for a while or something.

>>10834759
Is Arino immortal? I remember DS game about him, it was 15 years ago or so.

>>10853726
>>Ghost sweeper Mikami (SFC)
I didn't even know this exists. Is it good?

>>10856491
Do you think he's 100 years old or something?

>>10856532
He's starting to look it. Does he have health issues? Watching season 3 episode and then watching a new one he doesn't even look like the same guy.

I'm jelly

>>10856570
Yeah because its been almost 20 years. Thats what getting older looks like.

Covid era episodes are a little depressing.

>>10857138
I know, right?
Doesn't help that ADs aren't as present as earlier seasons anymore, but it does feel that interactions got a lot more stilted. Not to mention Arino got really good at games after 20-something seasons which kinda defeats the show's entire premise.

>>10857209
>spoiler
It's more they gave him easier games to minimize the need for staff help

>>10857215
That, or they ran out of kusoge for him to play. TamaGe segments are also sorely missed.

>>10857209
The glass wall ruins it for me. Like at least put a Bowser sticker on it or something, anything to liven it up and lessen the depression of knowing why its there.

>>10857270
They got plenty of shit games left, it's just a matter of giving him no stress games.

>>10857343
Why no stress? Does he have a heart condition now?

>>10857460
Weakens the immune system, plus Ken Shimura was killed by Covid, Kan was not going to be known as the man who killed Arino.

>>10857460
Idk if he does, but I do :(
I was fine before, but I became extremely sick after I got the first booster and then a few months later I had my yearly health check and when I got the results back it said I have some sort of right bundle branch block in my heart.

If we ever go through another pandemic I'm not going to do the right thing again. Those bastards tricked me.

>>10842986
Context of this pic? I saw this a lot. What game was he playing when he said this?

>>10865365
It's Ring-Ring Tactics so he was probably playing Super Monkey Daibouken, he wore a big yellow jacket for the return of Ring-Ring Tactics with Championship Lode Runner. If you mean the actual episode it was in, I dunno but it'd be a season 3 ep. You could also just watch the Ring-Ring Tactics compilation.

>>10865393
Okay, thanks!
