/vr/ - Retro Games

Why is Abe so based?

Reminder: Arino RAPED AND KILLED A KID in 1990.

>>1964187
Japan has some fucked up laws

>>1964187

Would you beat Arino in a game of Mario Kart?

>>1964187

watching this in order is the best decision I've ever made

even though I know the show continues this ending made me feel weird ;_;

>>1964187

>>1964219

The sad "final episodes" are pretty funny in hindsight. No way did anyone imagine it'd go on for this long.

Friendly reminder to report obvious shitposts and all replies to them. Don't encourage it. The mods are usually pretty quick at cleaning it up.

>>1964228
Yeah, I watched the ALttP episode after "catching up" to the subs and it was bizarre. Everyone saying 21 is the final episode? Nuts.

>>1964262
Reminder: shut the fuck up.

>tfw meeting dad for first time tomorrow
I DON'T WANT TO CONFIRM THAT I'M NOT SOMEHOW ARINO'S LONG LOST DAUGHTERU

>>1964286

If you've watched the Child-Rearing Quiz episode, you should know that Arino wouldn't let his kid out of his sight until they turned 25 or so.

>>1964286
What episode is this and who is that kid?

So when did they abandon the idea that Arino was an employee of some company that for whatever reason the forced him to play games? I never understood really the story they were going for, but now for several years they haven't even tried to keep up with it, like pretending his was getting promotions or anything.

>>1964314
Trust me, the macho has plenty of promotions in his life

>>1964309
NES remix, I think. Forget the kid's name.

>>1964314
When he started getting recognized everywhere as the Kacho, they decided to drift away from the premise and just leave him at that rank.

>>1964314

I don't think the point was that he was "forced" to play games but yeah, they dropped that sub-plot around Season 5.

>>1964309
>>1964325
That's right. His name is Hayato Itou. I forget if he's any relation to either AD Itou.

>>1964328
I remember when they changed his uniform once, and then immediately changed it back? That was awkward.

>>1964364

More humorous than awkward.

>>1964381
Isn't Purple associated with death in Japan, or something? Must be why he blamed it, lol.

>>1964179
I would say shame on Abe for having no trigger discipline, but then most real gangsters don't anyway.

>>1964219
>>1964228
Really need an image of Kan pointing Arino to a "Don't forget: You're here forever" board.

>>1964448
That would be absolutely perfect and hilarious.

>>1964314
I would like it if they went back to company drama over the stupid king's kidnappings and possessions. Maybe not promotions or demotions, but other things.

>>1964336
Not one they mentioned.

>>1964473
I wonder if Kibe's writing is making the show better or worse.

>>1964485
I just don't get the point of the king. When he's trapped or whatever they don't even mention it in the show, it has no consequences, and the ADs just seem to be helping him too hard. When he was demoted it was a genuine struggle because he had to legitimately complete the games and you rooted for him that much harder.

Also /r/ing a yelling picture of Arino with "KAAAN!"

So Arino is the Kacho does that make Abe the Bancho?

>>1964187

>>1964262
Reminding again. Report obvious shitposts and all replies to them.

>>1964286

>>1964503
Gettin' real tired of the king myself. This whole elephant business with him is just dumb. I guess they keep him around for merchandising since I'm sure king dolls sell like hotcakes.

>>1964789
The elephant was gone in #187, must have defeated it in the unwatchable double Family Jockey challenge.

>>1964801
Unwatchable? When/if it gets subbed I'm gonna watch the shit out of it.

/r/ing the highest resolution possible for pic related, I want to use it as desktop, at least the parts without the letters.

Is it available without the dubs? As far as I know the SA team didn't do it since Kotaku or whoever paid to have it done.

>>1965239
It is. On the DVD itself.

>>1965239
Yes

Could anyone dump all images of producer Kan?

These are just subtitled?

>>1965372
Yes.

>>1965239
Buy the Retro Game Master DVD. You can turn the dub off and turn Kan's narration back on.

Get outta here, Gilbert Gottfried

So I guess now that we can't discuss episodes from DVDs, we can at least talk about Arino's past as evidenced above this post.

>>1965671

>>1965675
Report and be patient. The mods don't always catch all the shitposts at the same time.

And I'm not saying posting the DVD rips is shitposting. We just know it always gets deleted because it's licensed for sale. Point them to the info without posting the rips.

The horse racing one was pretty funny even though I have no idea still how the game is supposed to play. The fact Arino played the whole game and never realized he was inbreeding his horses was great.

>>1964381
Crap, I forgot how long this has been going for. He looked so young there.

>>1965707
It seemed like some sort of spreadsheet/calculator simulator with graphics on top.

>>1965707
That was a fun episode for all the wrong reasons.

>>1964430
it's a "bad omen", like a cursed object.

>>1966098

It's funny because he then proceeded to lose the next three episodes in a row as well, ending up with his "demotion" to Senior Staff.

>>1966108
heh, that's pretty rich.
maybe it wasn't an excuse after all?

>>1966120
The beginning of season 4 was some pretty classic fails. The missed final shot aginst Z-Ton, legendary difficult Adventure Island, Actraiser with again classic "victory pose before final boss transformation" ... and then the following quiz episode was also one of the best episodes simply because the staff interaction.

So guys, do you have an idea of who was the girl in the background ? Looks like some PC-98 illustration, the kana don't make much sense to me

>>1966456
He probably could have beaten Actraiser if he didn't spend all that time in city mode.

Is this subbed ? Don't remember seeing this

>>1966748
Only exists as a 2 disc DVD9 homemade Japanese set, 5 hour first disc and 7 hour second disc featuring Hamaguchi challenge.

Are there no SD releases for Gunstar or Donkey Kong planned at all?

>>1966748
Here's a 500 MB rip of the second part from Chinese YouTube or something

2004 called, they want their dial up back.

>>1966759
No, 720p/60FPS is the new standard now, it seems. If you want SD releases, then I'm afraid, you'll have to make them yourself with FFMPEG or something.

Why would anyone who likes GCCX not buy the DVDs and the DS game?

Neither of them are expensive, and we can't ask for more Western releases if we don't buy what they've already released.

Support the Kacho, people!

Huh, didn't know there was an English version of Last Continue.

>>1966791
Stop shilling.

>>1966782
Maybe just use similar commands to play it as SD with ffplay or use the dreaded VLC to "stream" the video by playing a 352p version and then upscaling in real time.

Or just try a proper video player in the first place, like MPC-HC with that LAV media splitter deal. Same thing FFmpeg works with, or AviSynth if you're serving frames and downloading Bill's Filter for Rainbow Removal just to make things work...then you'll still need FFmpegSource.

Try just playing the video with MPC-HC and setting it up to use your built in hardware acceleration and the like. I don't see what the problem is, unless audio and video are de-syncing. If that's the case someone might be using some scaled analog input into a digital display or something not related to the video capability of the machine at all.

>>1966749
I'd love a 12 hour long release of this.
I'd also love the entire 24 hour live subbed. I'd watch it in one go.

>>1966780
not him, but I didn't get a PC capable of playing HD until earlier this year. I had to set all Youtubes to 240p or they wouldn't play for me.

>>1966816
Install your video drivers

>>1966791
Because a) fuck Kotaku, and b) the game really wasn't that good. Haggleman didn't need 3 games, two of which were nearly identical, and the two race car games which WERE 99% identical.

>>1966830
Perfectly good reasons. Don't like a product, don't buy it.

>>1966830
The first game was good. The racing game was fantastic, and the "second one" was just a bonus and not an actual game. Not like the boring fucking Arino text games in 2.

Haggleman 1 and 2 were a little poor, but I'd take them over pretty much everything in 2. Only Kung Fu was good.

>>1966830
Everyone refers to the DVDs as the Kotaku episodes, but I don't see Kotaku on my DVD set.
They were streamed on there, sure. But that doesn't mean they made or own it.

>>1966839
Those are your opinions, and he has his. Speaking of which, I really liked the Demon Returns games, and Wizman, along with Kung Fu. Those were just fun to play.

>>1966839
I really liked the race car game too, it was my second favorite one after the shooter (Star Prince I think), but it didn't need to take up a second slot that could've gone to a game in a different genre. Just imo, it seemed a little lazy to have to do all the challenges again with a new coat of paint, basically.

http://tinycartridge.com/post/32676131793/on-retro-game-master-and-getting-mad-for-the-right

Ray's article explains that Kotaku was a pretty small part of what went wrong. Their license and any profit from it expired long ago. You can shut off the dub on the DVD which has been brought up repeatedly.

>>1966890
Other than the DVD saying "Retro Game Master" when you turn it on, there's zero evidence that there was a dub. Some of the episodes on there weren't even dubbed, and the ones that are it's a simple case of choosing "Game Center CX" and not "Retro Game Master"

Complaining about it is like complaining that Star Wars has German subtitles and is off-putting during the action scenes.

Isn't all the cool extras like arcade trips edited out?

>there are people who don't support Discotek releases
I bet you guys still watch Mazinger Z with crabsticks.

>>1966904
It's like that on the JP DVDs as well, there's nothing they could do about it.

>>1966904
See
>>1965636
They couldn't clear licenses to include them. Those segments were subbed separately. You can download them.

>>1966912
The JP DVDs have some scattered segments in them. They're just usually not the ones that originally went with the challenges.

>>1966904
The arcade visits are separate extras, edited out of the main challenges.

>>1966919
He's asking about the Retro Game Master set specifically.

>>1966912
>>1966904
>It's like [arcade trips edited out] on the JP DVDs as well, there's nothing they could do about it.

This is a popular misconception, the Japanese DVDs actually contain a series of TamaGe visits in each volume on one of the discs.

>>1966836
You're leaving out the biggest part.

>Don't like a product, don't buy it. Get the illicit bootlegs instead.

But but but Shitaku guys...

Yeah, we should just download rips of the only official GCCX set we're ever going to get because sales were so low instead, and then complain that there's not enough support for it.

Why wouldn't you want to own something physical and official? That birthday art that was posted earlier? You could own an official print of it.

>>1966791
They were never released in my country.

If they don't bother, I don't bother.

>>1966957
The fact that they dubbed over it, even if it's optional, just ruins it- Kan is a big part of the show, yet they just cut'm out. Like cutting out the scenes where Abe is in, or something. Not to mention that they didn't even maintain the show's narrative and picked random episodes.

I'm importing the original DVD sets.

>>1966957
>paying for something that's shown on television, even on satellite channels
>ever
Seriously?

>>1966965
>Kan is a big part of the show, yet they just cut'm out.
Kan's narration is in the DVDs. Just select it from the menu.
>Not to mention that they didn't even maintain the show's narrative and picked random episodes.
That was because of licensing. Some big names like Nintendo and Capcom didn't want to be part of the DVDs. They cleared what they could.
>I'm importing the original DVD sets.
That's good. Enjoy them.

>>1966978
>even if it's optional
It's a spiritual thing. The fact they even considered replacing him, and then did it by default, is awful in my mind.
>Some big names like Nintendo and Capcom didn't want to be part of the DVDs.
I did not know that, my bad.

I'm wanting to buy one of the Alonz AZ-5320 jackets that he wears, but it's a nightmare.

I'll never have one...

>>1966973
Japanese satellite channels are premium services, though. They don't run ads like American cable.

>>1967039
>>1966973
Yeah, it's just like buying an HBO series on DVD.

First time hearing the OST, and woah, this is better than I expected. People were bashing the CD a lot. Why is that?

>>1967167
It would have been nice if it had been a bit more comprehensive, including stuff like the TameGe music and so on.

>>1967195
>>1967167
And stuff like the Aces of Hardware and Game and Watch I Can't Leave You Alone music, stuff like that.

It's rights issues, obviously.

>>1965148
God dammit I love Toujima.

I still think of this as the Challenge theme, even though it's not been on the show for like nine years.

>>1967201
>>1967195
Yeah, it's missing some tracks, but the ones that did get in are pretty good. Although the karaoke ones feel like filler.

Considering most of the music isn't theirs, I understand that not everything is in it. Maybe we'll see a Vol. 2 in the future.

>>1967037
Why? It looks like you can just place the order online.

It's great. Stuff like around the 3:30 mark reminds me of the cliffhangers before segment breaks, and I loved when it would play this during the little "This is how the game works" pop in bits with the King

That really was a shitty haircut though to be honest.

It makes me happy to see him happy, I don't even know why, it just does.

>Nakayama does a flashy performance and then goes back to spaghetti at the budokan
Why is he so fucking moe.

What was the episode where they say something like this :

>Arino, this will be you last continue
>OK. I'm sure they are going to play THAT song
>last continue.mp3

>tfw you hate the famicom comic segments
Literally the only parts of Game Center CX I ever skip.

>>1967404
Hands down the worst segment. What were they thinking?

>>1967404
>>1967413
I don't think there was any bad segments. Some weaker than others, but not "bad".

Except for Shocking videos, that one was unfunny as hell.

>>1967417
It's generally accepted that Shocking Videos, Manga Cafe, Living National Treasure, and Sing About Whatever are not great.
I always skip Game-itization project

>>1967417
I kinda liked Shocking video, mostly because I like to see Arino bullying Inoko MAX

>>1967423
Manga Cafe and Living National Treasure were good imo, Arino managed to have some good jokes on it, be it scripted or made by him.

Sing About Whatever was just... ok. But Shocking videos, there was no joke. If there was, I missed it.

>>1967428
I think Inoko MAX was the joke. Every time.

>>1967404
>>1967413
What are you guys talking about? Those famicom comics were interesting.

>>1967423
>Living National Treasure
I actually loved that segment, giving Arino a fake game that he had to make up the plot of was pretty funny. I didn't like manga cafe though, I guess they thought it would work since Arino also talks a lot about manga.

>>1967435
>giving Arino a fake game
I thought those were real games.

>>1967386
Season 12, episode 95, Street Fighter 2010.

>>1967437
thanks you !

>>1967435
Maybe the Japanese are just big fans of Woody Allen like Mike Myers is and have taken scenes from Sleeper as their own.

Allen as frozen man 200 years in the future identifying artifacts and photographs: "That's Charles DeGaulle...he was a very famous French chef."

This manga is pretty interesting. I always figured they kept the challenge room as it was.

I should have done this a long time ago, but I forgot.

https://mega.co.nz/#!LAcTFbjI!jatxpBxDPWAzpFe0xJk8-Uh3nsAw9BcWFmpzQlV1XYg

RAW subtitles for Ikki and Karnov, in case someone wants it. For the revenge episodes, I don't have it anymore due to losing it when formatting.

>>1967446
I think they rent the room, so they can't do that, since other people might want to use it.

>>1967430
I said they're the only segment I skip, but I guess I meant on rewatches. I just don't find the Famicom comics interesting because Arino is just reading them to you. He rarely has any good quips in those segments.

Best segments are obviously arcade trips and candy stores. Candy store segments are super comfy.

>>1967437
Street Fighter 2010 was fucking awesome. I'd never even heard of the game and missed a couple of seasons on my original watchthrough for reasons I can't recall. Just watched it for the first time the other night and it's one of my favorite episodes.

>>1967456
>I'd never even heard of the game
Watch more AVGN, dude.

>>1967461
This. I actually didn't even remember there was a Street Fighter 2010 episode.

huh, this is gross and creepy

>>1967461
I like AVGN but I never saw his SF2010 episode. I'm not subscribed to his channel or anything, I just watched him back in the Power Glove days.

>>1967480
I just went through all of his videos in 2-3 days because I ran out of GCCX episodes. They're pretty good; I like when he played Kid Kool and called it total shit, and Kachou never even mentioned it.

It seems like GCCX treats bad game design as a nifty challenge/feature or something, while AVGN just calls it shitty. Really refreshing.

>GCCX: The player must carefully learn enemy positions in order to run through the map!
>AVGN: THIS CAMERA IS ASS!

>>1967441
C'mon man at least the Ninja Romance game was gold.

>>1967478
I'm not sure if I needed to know this info

>>1967485

this is wrong..........

>>1967516
>expecting a flunkie like arino to know basic shit

>>1967520
What I mean is that the good answer isn't listed. The guy who wrote this question fucked up.

>>1967506

>>1967485
I think it's just the usual Japanese overly politeness rearing its head again, where they're too faux-nice to say anything bad about the game publicly even though deep down they are thinking it is total shit. I've noticed Arino never criticizes a game no matter how awful it is. You know he's got to purely hate some of them, but if he verbalized he'd be the bad guy for it.

>>1967359
Happiness is contagious.

When it's truly genuine, there's so much you end up feeling it too.

Like this little girl I saw playing around once. "This is sooo niiiicee!". She was so happy I seriously almost cried of happiness overload.

>>1967595
They openly called that one game where there was a 1/4 chance you'd randomly have to restart the level bad.

>>1967613
They were right. There are games like Zombie Nation, that are forgivable because of the design of the game, but that piece of shit deserved to be called shit because it was.

>>1967485
i much prefer a positive outlook rather than complaining even if it's warranted. just buckle down and work through it, basically.

a negative outlook gets irritating after a short while.

>>1967616
Yeah they just call them shit games right, isn't that what kusoge means?

>>1967627
Yes, a kusoge like the one about Journey to the West. Those are kusoges

>>1967595
Nah, they're not afraid to call a game shit. Arino is just a resilient fuck.

mfw Inoko MAX's orgasmic sounds as he's about to lose

>>1967708
fucking guy deserves his own show

Which Zelda games has Arino done? I can only find OoT and LTTP. Really wanted to see the first or second.

>>1967850
Maybe him and Nakayama as a comedy duo.

>>1967865
He's only done LttP and OoT.

>>1967875

And both were pretty crappy.

>>1967880
There were definitely problems with both of them. They weren't handled all that well.

"300 points wins you a prize!"

Now I know how Arino feels.

watching live shows and shit is awesome because of the crowds

I love japanese people going "woooOOOOOH" at thing.

>>1967882
Alright, so maybe the Zeldas that have any sort of linear progression explanation are shit.

WHY THE FUCK DOESN'T HE DO THE ORIGINAL LoZ?

>>1967940
The last time they did a Disk System game the game (or system) died and they had to finish on the Virtual Console version, probably want to aoid a repeat.

>>1967940
That and Zelda 2 are being saved for specials or something. Or Nintendo is being a bitch, who knows

>>1967947
>>1967949
I am upset despite your objections. I require the GCCX episode I desire.

:(

>>1967951
And I want Bionic Commando.

>>1967953
Shit man, that's not fair.

God wishes as well for that episode, but he lacks the instruments.

>>1967951
>:(

>>1967958
Are you upset by an emoticon? Does it piss you off that people use it in your precious forum?

>>1967947
>>1967949
There's actually Famicom cartridge versions of Zelda I and II They're based on code from the NES versions, which Nintendo decided to re-use when the Disk System itself was proving unpopular and unreliable.

If GCCX isn't doing a challenge of these games *specifically* because of Disk System problems, these could be the solution.

>>1967423
>generally accepted

Speak for yourself. I loved the shocking videos.

>>1967981
Do you know anything about how different the content it between the Disk System/cartridge versions? Given how harsh the Japanese fan base can be on that sort of stuff, I can see it being a reason they don't use it.

>>1968040
>Japanese will only accept the FDS original
>battery save system represents a significant difference to disk-based saves
>Wii Virtual Console releases are preferable

>>1968073
I didn't say all Japanese fans would only accept the Disk System, I just remember the message board shit-storm when Famicom Tantei Club Kieta Kōkeisha broke mid-challenge.

>>1966516
I personally don't blame him for that, my OCD activates on ActRaiser city mode like crazy...SimCity soo..

>>1967850
>Game Center CX MAX
>Inoko MAX playing weird retro games and interacting with the staff with no particular goal
>30 minute show that airs on Arino's off weeks
I'd watch it.

>>1968115
How about Fatty Town starry him and Watanabe

>>1968115
I don't think Inoko MAX could carry a show by himself. He's great if he has someone to play off.

My dream team would be Kibe and Inoko MAX playing games together.

>>1968123
Well yeah, interacting with the staff as in they have guests. Past ADs, Kibe, Kan. It could be half behind the scenes about the show's production.

>>1968125
Just get Toujima every week, he's not doing anything.

>>1968129
His career is probably over after the movie.

>>1968193
You just don't understand higher forms of Japanese cinema

>>1968193
Why?

ZG got to spend a day with Kan, pretty cool. He seems like a chill guy to hang around with.

Why did GCCX switch developers for the third game? The first two were apparently popular.

>>1968379
Because indieszero was busy developing other games like Famicom Remix.

>>1968386

Final Fantasy Theatrhythm Curtain Call is also by them, game's fun as fuck too. Shame they didn't do the third GCCX one.

>>1968386
Why didn't they just wait a year until they were free again? It seems safer than risking your rep with a new company who might fail you.

>>1968391
And in the end, they did fail.

>>1968391
Last year was the GCCX 10th anniversary. They wanted to load up the year with all kinds of releases.

>>1968386
I heard the third game didn't do so well so they probably regret it a lot.

If there's another one they'll definitely go back to indieszero

They should just let Abe design the entire game.

>>1968445
Did they ever use that "cute girl" he drew for the second game?

That girl also looked too much like one of the girls from Muv Luv. Huge coincidence.

>>1968456
She is a NPC in Arino: Ace Detective 2.

>>1968456
Anyone got a photo/link? I read Muv Luv and don't recall abe's art.

>>1968321
So SAGCCX is pretty much an official product at this point.

>>1968321
I'm beyond jealous.

Got the DVD today. I know the non-challenge segments are missing, but is there a clear gap between them like in the show so I know when to play them?

>>1968514

I'm not sure what you think an official product is, but unpaid fan translations ain't it.

Besides, I'm pretty they got aware of her through her artwork contributions like pic related which they've used in the official stuff, rather than because of her translation work. They commissioned >>1965019 from her as well.

>>1968581
Yes. Everytime the Prince appears, it's a segment skip. I think.

>>1968582
What's the melted pig a reference to?

>>1968587

It's the stress pig they bought from... I think the Korea trip? that Arino threw around in one episode.

>>1968587
A sticky pig he bought in one episode. He used it in an episode by throwing it on the desk.

>>1968581
Usually. Ninja Gaiden and Mighty Bomb Jack are cobbled together from different episodes/takes so they aren't like the original episodes.

>>1968604
l-lewd

So there is that Jaleco DVD for 5 bucks at a Bookoff shop near my house.

Should I buy it? Is there already a raw uploaded? If there's not I'll be glad to make one

>>1968502
I don't remember the episode she appears., but his drawing looked at lot like Chizuru, the Class Rep, with the green eyes, glasses and even a very similar haircut.

>>1968784
Plagiarism is a common and accepted practice in Japan. I've read before it's actually considered a form of gratitude and a show of respect to copy someone else's work because it shows how much you appreciated it. Him copying a manga character sounds bad but he probably had good intentions when he did it.

>>1968723
To make raws, please upload the properly decrypted ISO or VIDEO_TS folder so that encoders may properly "raw" it. This goes for all extant DVD releases.

>>1968870

What's with the fag shitposting on ALL the nyaa torrents? He makes some good points, but he's being a fucking autist about it. Anyone that suggests that he calm down, causes him to sperg out.

>>1969727
Just ignore him- he's complaining about free content produced upon hours of unpaid labour. Nothing he says is worth thinking about, much less responding to.

>>1969727
Now that all the raws are up at the place SA gets them from, including #184, it does make one wonder why they don't use the built in rescaling functions in Aegisub to resize their script to 1280x720 and then the other function to adjust the timing slightly. It might be Game Boy but it's still 60fps and high def.

>>1969747
What I want to know is why they're still fucking hardsubbing the show. It makes it impossible to fix subtitle errors like in the Street Fighter II episode.

>>1969749
It's so that we can't "steal" their scripts and release them. Same reason they don't just release the 50 KB subtitle files...they could just be corrected / retimed (one click) / muxed into the existing MKV in a few minutes. Maybe they think people will "steal" them and erase translator credit or something.

It's silly though, because even Street Fighter 2010 is up there at 720p@60fps now

>>1969753
>erase translator credit
Not gonna lie, I've seen pretty much every episode and I have no idea who subs these, except "SA-GCCX". So they really shouldn't worry about their credit being taken.

>>1969749
The only option is to either OCR the existing subs, which is made harder by the signs (dialogue could be focused on, times preserved, color of text detected and border, etc.) all with good accuracy.

The problem is that it's a gigantic pain in the ass. I can't get RGB24 conversion to work right when I try to AviSynth the 184 translation in SubRip. And then even if I could, I'd have to do all the signs by hand anyway. The script is already there, I'd rather download a small file and play it with the video as is.

Taking a CRF 19 encode and throwing hardsubs on at CRF 23 and no x264 optimizations isn't going to produce the same level of quality.

While we're bitching about subs, Arino and Takahashi have an important service announcement.

Where were you when JD oozed back into the thread?

>>1969761
Oh either OCR or brute force copying. The other option would require a timed script.

>>1965779
Brilliant

>>1969763
The City Connection challenge was top-tier, if they released "I'll allow it" cardigan stickers I'd buy them.

>>1969779
Filmed around that good AKB48 F-Zero era arcade visit, the Arino + Takahashi months

>>1969779
Watch the whole webm until the trolling at the end. Realize who you're talking to.

>>1969836
Ah. Still a fun challenge.

City Connection is one of my favorite games. I had no idea they even used it. I hope it goes done, eventually. What is the challenge even about? AFAIK you can't beat the game since it just loops forever.

tfw I don't know if going to Home Ground would be comfy or incredibly awkward

>>1969836
That's not trolling, that's satire. It's a work of ironic humor designed to poke fun at the vice and folly that lead to not translating certain bonus challenges and thus to effect change in such policies.

>>1969914
Most of the DVD challenges use games without an ending. For City Connection they had him try and find secrets in each stage.

>>1970068
It's closed. Never got the chance to go...

>>1970081
Yeah I figured it was. It doesn't seem like a profitable idea.

>>1970096
I just realized that sounds pretty stupid considering it might have been just a side thing she was doing. She probably just didn't care anymore.

>>1969749
As far as I know, the reason why they do that is because they want their releases to look properly on consoles, tablets and streaming sites.

>>1969727
Welcome to Nyaa's comment section, it's full of shit like this.

>>1970081
>>1970096
Small businesses and restaurants have pretty bad turnover rate in Tokyo in general, lately. I live above some bars and restaurants and I've seen a couple of the locations change hands twice in the past three years. That's Abenomics for you.

>you will never be this gangsta

>>1970317
Japanese rap is pretty interesting.

So how much longer do you reckon GCCX has before its over?

Im guessing 2-3 seasons

>>1970394

Impossible to say, it was supposed to be over after 4.

This DKC 2 episode makes me weep.

Please tell me he doesn't do the Lost World

>Dat Zinger boss

>>1970409
He does

>>1970409
>Dat look of pure agony

>>1970394
I dunno. How long do we have until Arino starts getting arthritis?

>>1970394
It seems to have plenty of life in it for now. Lots of people show up for events and go on. I mean, he did the Budokan just a year ago.

It depends on them securing good games for him to play. So long as they pick games that work well for the show, people will continue to watch for a while yet.

I think they need to do another special early next year. A foreign trip, or something.

Does anyone know what the song is called thats used during the montage in the Jogging Race episode?

Arino officially completed DKC2 more than I ever could.

Then again he cheated to get all the krem coins.

>>1970068
How can they use such low tables and chairs? That's gotta be so uncomfortable. I know it's a tiny ass apartment the size of a broom closet, but still, one good chair, that's all you really need.

>>1970748
It's a Japanese cultural thing

Arino needs to go to London. I'd love to see him go to a barcade and get smashed while trying to play vidya.

>>1970769
It's also a very Asian thing.

>>1970648

>>1971004
Thanks, Kakaricho.

>>1970769
To be fair, that Japanese thing where everybody sits under a table with a heater and a blanket looks cozy as fuck

>>1970394
GCCX will never end. Arino will be 100 years old in a robotic hospital bed/exoskeleton playing PS1 games

>>1971101
You know they use those because they have fucking paper-thin walls and no central heating? You either get under the kotatsu or you freeze to death in winter.

It's only cozy until you accidentally kick the heating element and burn the shit out of your foot. Give me a radiator any day of the week.

>>1971106
>You know they use those because they have fucking paper-thin walls and no central heating? You either get under the kotatsu or you freeze to death in winter.
Haha, typical Japan: seemingly charming cultural quirk has a super depressing explanation

>>1971106
You have to be careful about moving into an apartment building populated by Asiatics, since at any time the management can decide to remove everyone's radiators and instead install a central electrical generator to power their new space heaters.

>>1971112
>Asiatics

>>1970561
I can't wait until they run out of games and officially move onto the 5th generation. It was 20 years ago, it's almost retro.

i wanna see arino play custom robo fuck make it happen

>>1971345
I hope they play some GBA games. Almost the same control scheme as a NES game, plenty of crappy platformers.
>>1971352
There IS an N64 game. It would probably be boring though.

>>1970317
I wonder if someone out there can get offended by this.

>that feel when you really want to watch the second and third part of DK2, but you decided to watch at most one episode a week to make them last more than a single day

>>1971463
There's like 150 episodes you know? You're gonna be watching for over 2 years at this rate.

>>1971467
Oh, but I actually watched everything already. Those last 4 new releases, I'm making them last a month.

I hope that they release all three GCCX games on the 3DS eShop for North America and Europe, fully translated of course. I don't see why they wouldn't, they know damn well that GCCX has fans outside Japan.

>>1971475
I can see them releasing the third game as a digital-only game, but wouldn't they have to port the first and second game(in this case translate it too)? I think they wouldn't want to do so much work.

>>1971475
>all three
Normally I'd say pass on the third one, but due to region lock... I have to agree, despite it being terrible.

Why is the next episode a month from now in late October? And what character's name ends with an N other than all the Kun games. Moai Kun please.

>>1971483
What was so bad about the third game? This is the second or third time I hear someone diss it. I haven't played it yet which is why I'm asking this question.

>>1971489
It had a different developer than the first two, and, well, they kind of botched it. The games are uninspired and boring, no more magazines, etc.

>>1971480
First one is already done.

>>1971492
Because the developer specializes in shooting games, right?

>>1971543
I imagine they "specialize" in shooting games because they are one of the least complex games to make. I'm not sure why they were given the development rights.

>download both parts of DKC2 as standard procedure
>turns out it's the first three-parter ever

Oh, Kacho

why sasano so based

>>1971628

He was one of my favourites, too. At least Emoto was pretty awesome.

>Been waiting ages for DKC2

This is truly suffering.

y specter big cock chugger

>>1971652
Every minute you wait is a minute that a Gamma Ray Burst can hit the earth and eliminate all life.

I know your feelings, though. I try not to watch hype anime unless I'm feeling clearheaded. Don't wait too long though or you'll be disappointed.

>>1971554
Arino stated that the previous dev talked too much.

The g.Rev guy reminds me of some goofy Jap comedian.

>>1971821
Wasn't that just joking though? He made solid, profitable games people liked. Even if he did talk too much, which I didn't notice, would that be enough to end business? That would paint Arino as too much of a mean figure if you know what I mean.

>>1971821
>The g.Rev guy reminds me of some goofy Jap comedian.
That was my thought exactly.

>>1971821
I'm pretty sure the whole talking too much thing was a joke. They seemed to get along well enough, on camera at least, and the games were well made. IndieZero didn't get the 3rd game because of scheduling issues.

I highly doubt Arino had anything to do with choosing a new developer. He's the talent, sure, but it's the bigwigs like the director, producers, and owner of the entire show who are going to have the most pull, especially when major economic decisions like funding a new video game are concerned.

>>1971554
>>1971835
IndiesZero didn't make the 3rd game because they were busy on the FF Theatrhythm sequel

They aren't a big developer, they have like 25 people

>>1968321
Where's the Twitter, Google can't find her despite her having her own Wikipedia page. I want to see these photos, what if Kan turned purple on the roller coaster.

I really liked her and her voice for some reason...

at least when she wasn't screaming things.

>>1972247
>they were busy on the FF Theatrhythm sequel

I thought it was NES Remix they were working on.

Name the game. Anyone remember that challenge where Arino played XBox?

No affiliation they said

>>1972335
Steel Battalion

No affiliation

>>1972335
What's that Playstation deal, this is the wall inside the GCCX offices where Arino's Challenge games reside

>>1972341
Looking forward to all the translations grinding to a total halt.

>>1972356
We'll always have 2018 when subtitles become mandatory in Japanese broadcasts. Google Translate ahoy. Just a little more to go.

Could Arino play Shenmue?

>>1972360
Was that designed by the guy who wanted to see blood flying everywhere? What was that Shenmue Online they showed in that Sega episode, was that JAP-only Dreamcast or was it Shenmue 2?

>>1972350
tokimeki memorial fool

>>1972356
Kan: (serious voice) Nina, about the translations...
Nina: Yes Kan-san?
Kan: You need to realize...
Nina: Yes?
Kan: We can't ever release BluRays so keep cranking those translations out in 720p/60fps, we must cross over into the American market.

>>1972367
I didn't realize that came out for PS2, pictured next to the XBox game.

FOOL

The more I watch it, the more I get the inadvertant asshole vibe from arino
I mean I love him, but he can really be difficult to his staff sometimes, and the bikkuriman episode was painful to me, the guy lent him his sticker collection and specifically said don't stick these and arino did it anyway

I assume arino paid for them, and it was probably more than he would have actually gotten for them anyway, but it's still his collection

Live feed of "Toys for Adults", where Arino plays with toys together with American Zarigani.

http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv193636705

>>1972576
>Toys for Adults
Man, that sounds so much lewder in English.

>>1972576
>bop it!
Best toy.

>>1972591
Still better than "Adult Toys". There's no non-pervy way to say it in English.

>Arino stares at a Bop-It
>"What do I do?
>Challenge failed."

>>1971828
Remember that one live show where they burst in to the challenge room to "entertain" Arino?

I don't get it. Not my kind of comedy. It's very popular in Japan, though. Even Yoiko is like that, though not quite as annoying.

It's like if the Chuckle Brothers was on prime time.

>>1972563
It's all an act. GameCenter CX started out pretending it was a business, that's why the early seasons talk about him being promoted to junior manager and all this kind of thing. That's why they call him kacho.

He's their "boss" and he pretends to boss them around for comedic purposes. The stickers thing would have been a set up, like some of the stuff on Top Gear like when they 'accidentally' crash or whatever.

>>1972350
>>1972335

What? They save them? They're supposed to sign them and send them to a lucky viewer. Has this whole process been a scam?

>>1972906
I imagine they have enough money to buy a back-up copy of every game they play on the show.

>>1972906

Anon...

>>1972915
Every game ever sold in retail is by default "a copy". You're never getting the original game made by the devs that they sent to the manufacturing company. I'd be pissed if I won and it turned out it wasn't the exact game played by the big man himself. When I start it up I want to see his save file on there.

Is there any translated Yoiko stuff? I've seen a few subbed Arino features on panel shows or w/e (and Friendly Downtown) but I've never seen him doing the full on boke/tsukkomi thing with the other dude.

>>1972928

My point is that they've never stated you get the same cartridge used by Arino so it's obviously not a scam.

>>1972934
It's heavily implied though. I don't know what the connotation of copy is in the spoken original, but why would they pull a bait and switch and give you a different one? It makes no sense.

>>1972941

But it's not "heavily implied" at all, it says you receive a signed copy of the game featured in the challenge, plain and simple. Absolutely nothing in that implies that you get the exact same physical game that Arino played. Should they add a giant "BUT THIS IS NOT THE EXACT COPY PLAYED BY KACHO" -warning to the end of that every time or something?

There is no "bait and switch" at all, you've simply read it wrong.

>>1972950
They probably should add that disclaimer. Look all that the threads that pop up whenever a big name release comes out, tons of people posting "I got my copy!". That's how I thought it meant, with copy just being what they're calling that particular cartridge since it is just one of thousands. Why would he even go through the trouble of signing a different one? Of course people are going to want the same one he used.

>>1972941
It's not heavily implied at all. I've never for a moment thought it was the exact same game cartridge.
They don't say "You will win the cartridge used in this episode", and it doesn't read like that either. I don't speak Japanese but I doubt it sounds to them like it either.

I do always find it nice how they always are able to acquire pristine copies of all the games, boxes, and manuals. Clearly a lot of people take good care of their stuff over there.

>>1972958

I think the guys who have actually worked there for up to 10 years and watched Arino play through them live, dawn 'til dusk, have more of a right and appreciation of the actually used copies hanging there on display. It's like a wall of memories to a lot of 'em no doubt.

I don't know what more to tell you, sorry that you read it wrong and now your world has been turned upside down I guess. Either way it's your error, not anyone else's.

>>1972965

>Clearly a lot of people take good care of their stuff over there.

It's unbelievable the kind of stuff you find in used games shops in Akiba; so much of it is in excellent or pristine condition. I'll never understand how people manage to completely trash their property.

The fuck did he do if it just sat in the case the whole time? 15 years later and it still pisses me off that people can't take care of anything.

>>1973019
Oh, man. I loaned a friend Final Fantasy VIII, which was in MINT condition. It arrived back with all four discs scratched, and the manual was all crinkled and folded.
Never spoke to them again, don't regret my decision.

>>1973019
People who don't play a lot of games are the worst culprits when it comes to taking care of them. If they aren't seriously into games, don't trust them with anything.

>>1973019
I got a SEGA Mega Drive when I was about 9. I still have it boxed, still with the plastic bags and cable ties and whatnot.
I've never understood why people can't look after things. Being a kid is not an excuse. I have LEGO instructions from over 25 years ago when I was in pre-school.

>>1972350

I have stuff from when I was a child but my younger brother ruined a lot of my things and my parents used to throw my things away. They were extremely confused when I started keeping the boxes for things. I was extremely upset when my sister throw away the plastic insert to my Chrono Trigger game. In the PS1 era I remember many people's parents buying them a CD sleeve book and putting all of their games in there and throwing out the cases :\

What is it with people on 4chan always speculating about when their favourite shows will end?

It's the same in every Gaki no Tsukai thread.

You can't find this level of pessimism anywhere else on the web.

Just read Zari-Gani's wikipedia entry.
I head no idea she's a comic book artist

>>1972576
Holy shit did someone record this?
I need to see it.

>>1974467
It wasn't that good. Arino played Bop-it! poorly with a couple of other guys. There were a couple of funny moments, but only enough to fill a 1 minute clip at most.

>>1973019
>>1973024
Atleast you got your games back. My Final Fantasy 7 box is still sitting there waiting for the discs to return to their home..

>>1974469
I still need to see it. Kakaricho said Zarigani was on it.

why ;_;

>>1974479
When he said that, she wasn't on it. I don't know if he made a mistake or she had just been on it, but it was just Arino and 2 guys.

>>1974479

I hope you realize he meant America Zarigani, the Japanese comedy duo.

>>1974485

>but it was just Arino and 2 guys

Yeah, so Arino and Zarigani.

>>1974486
No I didn't because I don't know them. Well that clears things up.

Guess I just learned something.

>>1974469
No idea if it was recorded anywhere, sorry. Wish I knew, after I posted about it the feed froze and died.
>>1974486
This is correct.

>>1974445
I wouldn't say it's pessimism but rather a looming dread. All shows end, and its our love of GCCX that leads us to fearfully speculate.

"This too shall pass"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_too_shall_pass

After the Budokan event, amid a crowd filing out, I looked at the empty stage and the darkened desk and felt real down that the thing I looked forward to for six months was over.

Regardless how long it lasts, enjoy it.

>>1974472
So is my Chrono Trigger box, anon. I feel your pain. It's the only game box I saved, completely with inserts, because I loved it so much. Then I stupidly loaned the game out to someone I had known a long time and never saw it again.

>>1974752
I had a book of Sufi fables once, it was pretty cool.

But you're depressing me by using it in this context. Most of the time it's used to describe suffering/bad stuff

Regardless of when GCCX ends, personally I'm going to be grateful that we've had the opportunity to enjoy it for all these years when it could've just ended after four seasons 8 years ago back in 2006, not to mention that we've had the vast majority of the episodes translated as well.

>>1975227
Indeed. Even when it ends, we'll have hundreds of hours of it to re-watch.

How many shows have HUNDREDS of hours of running time to them? We're lucky really.

this kid's voice pisses me off for some reason

>>1975202
I think the moral is that good or bad, it'll end some day.

>>1975278
Lots of them, but yes, we're fortunate for GCCX. I hope it's conclusion leads to a lot of copycats, but I don't think they'll have the same charm.

I made a picture of my idol

What episode has the biggest Kacho rage moment.

>>1974445
it is a government psyop

4chan is a government psyop

>>1975582

If that's really your picture then that's a nice job.

Honestly, truly, thank you to all the anons who kept these GCCX generals going for so long.
Whether maxed-out in a day or languishing on page 10 for a month, filled with excited show discussion or peppered with passive-aggressive shitposting, this was the only general thread that seemed to be worth a browser bookmark and at least one click a day.
