Whoa, there's actually some new subs?

Reminder for the new thread for people who don't check the OP

>This time Arino is playing the most expensive game they've ever used in an episode: Super Spy Hunter. The US version can be easily found for less than ten dollars, the Japanese version for several hundred. Will he be intimidated by this game?
>This time out the episode was translated by zari-gani, timed by Gutcruncher, and really was checked by Hirayuki.

16.800 yen?
I can buy a PSP with that money

I visited Hashimoto Inn a while back. It's where they shot the "NES Box - 10 Minutes to Win It" segment. Here are some pictures I took.

>>2286636
One of the MSX games cost 16,000 yen, Kibe bought it in secret from the director.

>Super Spy Hunter

That game looks fun as hell, pretty good graphics for NES as well. Did it do all that without some fancy co processor chip?

I gotta say, I don't think anything anything is really faked on this show, but I do think they're joking when they say how many game overs he gets sometimes.

>>2286751
Well, he did play for 12 something hours.

>>2286709
Yeah, the graphics are pretty nice especially the background effects.

It looks hard as hell, though. Closest thing to a danmaku shooter on the FC.

>>2286709
The extra chip is a sound chip

How is this thread still a thing?

>>2286823
have you ever tried out the unlockable modes in summer carnival 92 recca? It's done by the cave/toaplan guys

>>2286751
Watch the Lemmings 24 hour special.

Even the 12 hours they put on the DVD will convince you it's real.

>>2286859
>12 hours on DVD

I want to watch this but don't want to pay for it.

>>2286554
wow, for once a game that's cheaper in the US.

Can someone explain what's up with the DVD ep translations? There's a shit ton of belly aching online about them being shit, but I also see info about an SAGCCX translator doing them. Where they redone at some point?

I'm sick of trying to find the subbed version of #68 somewhere.

LAst thread made me sad,

this one made me happy right off the bat

here we GO, I'm off to watch the latest fansub

>>2287003
They were redone with better translations for the Retro Game Master DVD. The DVD also lets you set it to the good Japanese narration instead of the English that almost everybody hates. The pastebin explains it pretty well in the product section.

>>2287003

Bunch of episodes got lincensed and butchered by Kotaku, license expired, episodes got picked up by Discotek, Discotek released a DVD with the episodes re-translated by SA with the Kotaku subbing/dubbing as an option.

>>2286709
Just an MMC3 mapper, no extra sound hardware or anything. One of the most impressive NES games I've ever seen.

>>2286506
Wizards and Warriors when? I really want to see how arino reacts to what I personally think is one of the weirdest NES games ever made (no I don't mean it's bad, before people freak out on me)

>>2287027
actually it wasn't by SA, it was by one the head translators for the SA subs, she then went on a big kick where she disowned the SA group calming she was "professional" now and other such nonsense, and it's the main reason why SA wasn't active for a few months. I think they have found some one to replace her.

>>2287145
Watch the raw. I feel like it was actually easy to follow, if you know the game.

>>2287151

Man, you made me remember how maybe a year back there was some crazy guy who constantly wrote obviously fake posts about zari-gani for some reason. Are you the same guy by any chance?

>>2287153
fuck off

>>2287151
Oooooh, internal strife

So this is what 10 bucks gets you on SA (assuming it was public)

>>2287158
I am most certainly not, maybe I just fell for his fake information then, lol.

Is it only me or does it seem like they fucked up the encode quality of the Spy Hunter episode? It's pretty blurry and interlaced...

>>2287170

>>2287171
Well that's nice to hear at least

>>2287171
because anyone that doesn't have an SA account is a complete moron and everyone should have already seen that post

>>2287171
>the next three releases

Oh my.

>>2287179

What are you even talking about?

>>2287151
>>2287163
What do you have to gain by just making shit up like that?

>>2287184
usually on 4chan when people reply with just a screen cap of a post it's insinuating that you are a moron for not already having seen said post.

>>2287179
bad bait, sad bait

>>2287186

Don't be so cynical, he just happened to ask the same question as someone did in the thread so there was nothing else to add.

>>2287185
the second post is saying that I didn't make shit up and that I probably just fell for the person that used to make shit up's posts. wtf are you going on about?

>>2287193
he could have said "here, from their own thread" or something to make sure people didn't take it that way.

Is there a reason for hardcoding the subs?

>>2287232

Oh boy.

>>2287232
That's just the way it is, Anon-kun. It doesn't bother the majority of viewers. I imagine it's because the subs aren't just in one spot, they're all over the screen, in different sizes and colors.

>>2287179
>Wasting $10 to suck cock
This is where anyone who knows anything about the history of SA and 4chan laughs at you derisively.

>>2287232
That's just the way it is, Anon-kun. It doesn't bother the majority of viewers. I imagine it's because the subs aren't just in one spot, they're all over the screen, in different sizes and colors.

>>2287232
Maybe Super Spy Hunter can get a proper softsub like Super Mario Land and Tant-R now.

>>2287232
>>2287398
If anyone really cared enough, you could OR the subs yourself, but there's still the problem with >>2287251 this.

>>2287251
>I imagine it's because the subs aren't just in one spot, they're all over the screen, in different sizes and colors.
Ah yes, because I've never seen a softsub anywhere but the bottom of the screen in piss yellow.

Oh no, wait, they all look a million times better than whatever utter moron works on encoding and typesetting for SA.

>>2287416
Then OCR them and do it yourself, Dad.

Wow, that Super Spy Hunter looks hard as hell. Even Takahashi had trouble with it! And the fact that you can actually fail the extra lives cheat... geez.

>>2287416
Again why don't you offer your services to help SA work on the subs if you're such an expert. It's easy to bitch and moan here where none of them will notice you.

>>2287403
Well they said that about those other two. I really don't think deinterlacing is an issue anyone should have to deal with. Certainly not the end user.

>>2287232
Soft subbing is arguably "superior" but there are more potential pitfalls for the end-user. Media streaming to a PS3, for example, doesn't support (some?) soft subs, so the few times I needed to do that, hard subs were a life saver.

Compare this with the advantages of soft subbing:
-Different subtitle tracks for different languages (doesn't apply here)
-Ability to configure the subtitle style (also potentially a drawback, since default subtitles in most programs/devices I've used are usually pretty ugly)
-Ability to extract the script (maybe 1% would want this?)
-Ease of distribution for revised scripts (reasonable)

With all the whining and crap subtitlers seem to get from people, it's easy to understand why they don't want a bunch of "I cant maek subtitle plz help!!!" annoyance on top of that.

That said, I actually like nitpicky discussions like these except when they descend into shitposting. And I like the fact that there's a new episode even more!

Specter, can you make >>2286889
the title of the next thread?

>>2287251
>It doesn't bother the majority of viewers. I imagine it's because the subs aren't just in one spot, they're all over the screen, in different sizes and colors.
.ass (lol) supports per-event margins and styling, so this isn't actually an issue.

New episode: Strider! Time to get hyped!

>What's this? Another episode? Arino takes another of his rare dips into the Sega side of things as he plays Strider. Also, the debut of a new segment! If you ever wanted to see Arino play Zapper games, this is your chance!

>Once more this episode was translated by Zari-Gani and edited by Hirayuki.

http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=665494

>>2287561
Holy shit.

>>2287537
Sorry, the next one is going to be called Strider Arino. Besides, I don't want to cause a shitstorm.

>>2287524
Why did you leave off the actual advantages?

-Use of the original "high quality master" video without making a copy of a copy (lossless video)
-Flawless vector graphic scaling when fullscreen - subs look exactly as intended with no encoding at any point, only rendering
-Ability to watch the episode with no subtitles and thus have a perfect archival copy
-Ability for foreign users to translate the script to their own language, available to them packed in the MKV file
-Ability for everyone whining about fonts / font colors / sign timing / sign styling to never complain again since they could be fixing it themselves with a find/replace if they wanted
-Ability for the episode to be double clicked by any human being with a media player and watched with subs without doing anything else

>>2287561
I'm glad I've done all my reps. Zapper games sounds like fun.

>>2287524
So your only real point is "I can't use softsubs on my toasterbox because I'm retarded".

The episodes have been and will continue to be hardsubs, regurgiating the same argument that never goes anywhere for the fiftieth time won't make any difference.

Focus on the fact that we have new Arino instead, yeah?

>>2287568
I was only kidding, it just made me laugh a bit . Another joke title would be the ISIS's flag and the title "Behead those who come here to bitch about file format and hard versus soft subs."

>>2287568
Next one will be Woody Poko Arino

>>2286625

I watched People in My Head, and holy fuck, is it funny. That was very good.

Isn't Arino tall for a Japanese person? I never noticed it until I saw him standing next to others.

>>2286554
But he already challenged Gimmick

is there a torrent with all episodes translated up to some date?(hardcoded or soft i dont care)
I'd like to feed my plex server

>>2287561
I was all looking forward to watching this, but I forgot that SA is not only incompetent in the fields of encoding, translation, typesetting, and timing, but they're also fucking retarded when it comes to releasing files and the concept of seeding.

Time for fucking bed, I'll watch it in the morning because their encoder literally can't upload a 600mb file in under 3 hours because he lives on the fucking moon.

>>2287561
What, another? Oh SA-GCCX, you are so uneven with your releases, but I still love you little bastards.

Time to download.

>>2287683
Grab 'em all from sa-gccx.com

>>2286652
funny enough, i know someone that has a famicombox, its weird though. like an m82, but not.

>>2287683
There's a very large TPB torrent in the pastebin with just about everything up to late 2013. Use the sa-gccx.com link right above that for everything newer one at a time.

Well, I guess that works, Japan.

The deluge begins?!

>>2287889

I think they said there were two more episodes that were ready or coming in the near future or something like that.

>>2287891
My body is filed with an uncontrollable joy~

Do you guys play the games before watching GCCX?

>>2287970
I'm worse than Arino, so no.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZHB_pYI6G8

>tfw you'll never eat a burger with Inoko Max

why live?

>>2287970
Quite the opposite-- GCCX tells me what to play.

The Strider episode was pretty funny. For some reason, I laughed when Arino went and killed the pilot on the giant plane they were on without any comments from neither the staff or Arino. I just thought it looked funny as fuck

>>2288216

>>2288138
>you will never go cardigan shopping with Takahashi
>never eat dango with Watanabe

Now that the Retro Game Master is out of print can you people stop telling others to buy it whenever they ask where they can download it.
Also can we not have the posts linking to the DVD download deleted.

>>2288301
>not eating outside

are you living in a fridge hell to not do this ?

>>2287970
Sometimes I do.
Sometimes I will after.
It's weird, I guess seeing the end can take away my drive for playing a game, but at the same time seeing the gameplay can make me want to play it.

>>2288382

This girl was a super qt, with her squealing. Arino seemed happy.

>>2288457
That Tamage was a bit disappointing because it was all already covered in the USA special.

Still I'd marry that qt.

>Playing Strider
>Not playing the superior version on the Sharp X68k

>>2288691
It's a pretty good port, though, all things considered. I've never played the MD version and was impressed, especially with the music. Makes me wish Capcom had a good home version of Black Tiger, which ran on similar arcade hardware.

I haven't played Strider for a few years and really enjoyed this episode. The game is such a masterpiece of arcade action, the way the gameplay constantly shifts and keeps the player on their toes. Too bad Capcom never saw fit to make a third game.

Am I the only one that heavily prefers watching release order? Man it gets annoying to find out I missed an episode 40 episodes ago or a much older one gets translated.

>>2288787
Most of us actually consider watching the episodes chronologially to be the best option.

That said, most of us also have been around for years and we've been rewatching this shit over and over for many times.

To actually be able to watch this show chronologically in the first run is a total blessing.
Anyone who disregards that is a complete idiot.

>>2288787
>>2288796 again

You have to consider that when we started watching there weren't many Seasons that were completely subbed. Imagine having to stop at season 3 or 4 chronolically instead of Season 15. That's what we went through years ago.
You have over a hundred consecutive subbed episodes now.
Just rewatch them while waiting for new stuff. It's much better than jumping around.

>>2288796
>Anyone who disregards that is a complete idiot.

>>2288803
>Le epic clown picture

Want to put some kind of argument in there or is it just that picture?

>>2288807

are you somehow unfamiliar with reaction images

>Super Spy Hunter
I was watching, it looked like such fun. Then I reached the boss of level 3. Fucking instant death beams.

>Will the releases never stop?

>The challenge this time is Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll, an unusual platformer mixed with early fighting game. But who cares about that because I have two words for you. Power. Glove. That's right, you get to see Arino try to use everyone's favorite peripheral.

>Shockingly, this is another episode translated by Zari-Gani and edited by Hirayuki.

Damn, I'm overdosing on Arino

You should space it out because after this bunch is done it'll no doubt be a while until we get more again.

Savor the Arino slowly instead of gobbling it up.

>>2289026
I can not stop, the temptations to watch are too high

>>2288787
Not really, the format of the show is pretty episodic, with references to older episodes for the people who missed them.

>>2287841
Yeah that was a new one on me, I owned the regular zapper as a kid, but this thing..

>>2287561
>Arino actually playing a Sega game

Who let Kibe out of his cage?

After marathoning through all the episodes on a stream. It irritates me that the goons aren't subbing all the earlier episodes now and going up chronological order unless there's a really good episode that needs to be prioritized.

You really come to appreciate how far Inoko MAX and Nakayama have come from their first episodes. Granted it sounds like Inoko is becoming a giant fuck up Passing out drunk in the parking lot incident, and the few times Nakayama might come out on top, he gets fucked over Catch a Copy

>>2289350
You mean apart from the three released in the last two days that do exactly what you're complaining about?

Has Arino ever inteviewed any audio/music people?
If so, could I please get the name of the episode(s)?

>>2289350
But they are focusing a order. All these episodes have been from the 15th season.

>>2287583
I only have a cfw ps3 to watch these releases after downloading them from a friend's place so it works for me.

>>2288301
People who live where the weather is nice?

Are Osakians the asian drivers of Japan?

Does Arino have more completed challenges or more failed challenges?

>>2289058
>spoilers to older episodes for the people who can only follow subbed episodes
Fix'd. I'm pretty sure nobody was like "Boy was I glad to see that Arino beat SMW! " when watching Mario 64 back then.

>>2289534
Completed, by a landslide. As time went on, he has got easier games to play and deadlines have gotten less strict (ie. more double and even triple parters). Also, Arino has gotten slightly better at games in general and a lot better in not giving up.

>>2289452
>>2289495
You seem to not understand what earlier episodes mean. I'm talking about starting from the first episode in chronological order that's not subbed and moving upwards. A triple digit episode is not 'early'.

>>2289559
>As time went on, he has got easier games to play and deadlines have gotten less strict
Some of the games are still rigged for him to fail Master Blaster being the prime suspect Granted there are some episodes where they just outright said 'no' and forced him to continue when he wanted to give up Ghouls n' Ghosts. Granted, it was something that needed to be done, but the fact that they asked him twice was pretty ham fisted.

>>2289523
Truly the deadliest of drivers.

The DVD segment from last weekend. Everything new is always in the first link of the OP.

>>2288943

FUCK YEAR been waiting for this episode forever

>>2289679
all the earlier episodes have been subbed already, except the yuji horii interview

>>2289523
Isn't Arino from Osaka?

>>2289771
He's talking about the Season 1 interview episodes. Only the first three of those have finished subs. There's also the unsubbed interview part from Metroid in Season 2.

just add Saint Seiya and season 15 will be compete

>>2287171
So we still got one more in this wave, right? Probably be Saint Seiya.
>>2289823
Isn't there also Alex Kidd in Miracle World and Gradius?

>>2289831
Yeah, those three are the last full Season 15 episodes left.

>>2289831
>>2289837
oh yes, my bad

the irony

>>2289840
Was wondering at first if that was SA messing around or an actual translation.

>>2289802
It's been said that the video sources for those are unsatisfactory.

Kan doesn't give a fuck and doesn't need shoes

Whew, those three episodes were great. Was there one more this wave or do we have to wait two months again?

>>2289957
There's at least one more sub coming up..

>>2289981

>>2289981

>>2289981
If it isn't Gradius, I don't care.


When are they going to have Arino challenge Gradius III? If anything just to see him get punked by the Konami Code

>tfw the sub for the dbz snes game is never going to happen

>>2290013
He rarely gets to use power up type codes, usually only continues. They didn't let him use the 30 lives code in Contra.

>>2289981
Fuck yes, I'm ready for more Arino

Hell, why don't they use Highres RAWs. Even on Perfect Dark there are since almost the beginning Highres RAWs directly on day 1.
Most time the quality of the subbed ones suck so hard. Hope they will really use better ones on the next episodes..

>>2290168

>why isn't footage of a nintendo game available in 1080p? waaah

I usually not complain about the quality, but the Super Spy Hunter is so blurry. Hopefully, that seems to be a exception.

I think that despite the popular conception of "lol Japan is so weird" it actually seems like a pretty normal place. Conservative, even.

Then there's the UFO Catchers with panties in them.

>>2290210
mysoginists

>>2290210
Is that really THAT different to saucy postcards or What the Butler Saw machines?

>>2290210

Weirdness is subjective, and when you have such a huge language barrier and distance between cultures, the focus on what you see and hear about tends to be on the more unusual aspects rather than the mundane stuff.

Plus historically it's been an island country relatively removed from the rest of the world, and then on top of that it was also artifically isolated during the sakoku period which lasted for over 200 years. Things like that cause your culture to grow in some unique directions, in both cool and less cool ways.

>>2290272

>>2290317
are those boobs?

55 minutes 45 seconds of Super Spy Hunter TS are flawless. Once again SA refuses to share their low def interlaced source or to stitch the two together. Tant-R all over.

Saint Seiya! Saint Seiya! Saint Seiya!

>>2290321
No, they're bags of sand.

>>2290337
Maybe they got the original raw that played through but had no actual interlaced source...just an encoded source that hadn't been deinterlaced. Everyone hates encoding talk so now I have to go look and see if things like that can even be fixed. Maybe if it could then a junk raw could fill gaps.

>>2290026
That's because it's lives and he'd be able to cheese the game to hell and back if he had 30 lives in a Contra, in Gradius you get all the power ups, but if you die, that's it.

In fact the Konami code might as well be mandatory for Arino just because in later levels if you die, it might as well be a game over since it's impossible to recover.

>>2290389

>>2287171

>>2290396
Right, but the video they actually used was more messed up than the video they shunned...the "high quality master" is fine for the first 40 minutes and fine for the last 13 or so. It's just the 5 minutes in between that could be filled with the blurry one they used, or footage from a DVD episode (if it existed) or whatever. It was just a few minutes that needed replacement, not the whole thing.

People in my head is the usaka of GCCX.

Was the GCCX movie ever subbed?

>>2291361
No.

>>2291361
No, and it was so bad even Arino disavows it.

>>2291361
mario is a nigger

How long were they sitting on these fucking episodes? They didn't suddenly get off their asses in the last few days, why the fuck were we left high and dry for 3 goddamn months

>>2291386
sauce for this please.

>>2291405
Maybe they wanted to wrap the 15th season up in one swoop.

>>2291405
one or a few people could have been bottlenecking the releases.

Does anyone know how to change the timing of these new subs? It seems like they all come up a little early and go away a little early. Is this something I'm doing wrong or does anyone else get this?

>>2291476
Wasn't the movie literally just a random episode with extra clips?
So Arino is understandably disappointed with the whole thing.

>>2291541

Who knows how much of it was an act but already in the episode where they first announced that they're making a movie he didn't seem to happy about it.

Bandai-Jump games are the worst

>>2287970
The fun ones, pic related i beat it in 3 hours, i already knew which paths dont take so all the difficulty of the game was from the game play itself and not the luck.

>turn on my shitty idol shows
>Arino is on
I always feel strange when I see Arino in Yoiko mode.

>>2292204
It must be weird for him, it seems like he's more well known for GCCX. Or at least, that's the impression that I get.

>>2292353
In 'Game Center CX - Extra - Genki TV Interview.avi' he claimed that some people on the street recognize him purely as the gccx personality - totally oblivious to his (main?) occupation as a comedian. The reaction of the hosts and Arino himself would suggest that he is still active as other acts than just gccx.

>>2291218
Nope, still fucked up. All the episodes are there it's just that the titles are messed up

>>2292419
Mito Koumon is probably coming out on the next USA DVD release so they're taking care of its removal in advance.

Man, that Saint Seiya game looked awful. Gamers everywhere had to suffer through licensed garbage. Seems like nearly every anime & manga based game is terrible, especially in the 8 and 16 bit years.

>>2292454
Seemed like one of the easiest games he's played, too. Aside from being an idiot at the end, it was a total cakewalk.

>>2292419
Oh, it's just the titles. Everything's there. He just messes those up sometimes. You can post a comment on one of the episode pages to let him know.

>>2290910
You mean they didn't go with Knights of the Zodiac? That's a shocker.

>>2288432

>>2292409

Sometimes I really wonder if his partner is jelly of his success with GCCX

>>2292853

Help me /gccxg/, I'm drunk and can't remember which episode Toujima blocks the sun for Arino and I really want to watch that segment.

>>2293016

so the kacho taught me shit about my own video games

>>2293038
Which episode was it where Nakayama (or maybe Inoko Max?) holds the TV upside down for Arino?

>>2293347
I think it was Prince of Persia part II.

>>2293347
>>2293364
I remember it happening at least twice. Sasano in Prince of Persia and Inoko MAX in Bio Miracle.

>>2293347
Yasashii na, Inoko Maksu.

Inoue is really funny on his AD seasons. He was such a sharp contrast after Sasano and Urakawa in terms of gaming skill, but Arino played off him really well (and Inoue did carry Arino a few times gaming-wise as well).

God help us if we ever get a female Inoko MAX.

New episode literally never SA is so shit they can't get anything done also why is that latest episode not in 1080p? [/shitpost simulation because those assholes have suddenly disappeared]

He's probably mocking american style corrupted "political correctness"/feminism, which no one in their sane mind gives a fuck about.

>>2294126
Thanks, but I don't think it's necessary.

>>2294148
Sorry, but I just found it too funny that all those shitposts disappeared when the new episodes hit.

Makes you wonder who's behind them.

>>2294145
No one is Japan gives a shit about it, and thank god for that because the political correctness bullshit has completely taken over American comic industry and is infecting the American game market.

>>2294158
It makes you an idiot for thinking people will complain right after a major dump. The issue is the inconsistency in both quality of videos and releases along with them being late on their promises. Or they still don't know how to have multiple seeds ready when they release a new video to keep things from being bottlenecked. If it was one episode every 2 or 3 weeks at 720, you'd see a lot less complaining because there is at least a method to the madness. But there isn't so that leaves them open to criticism, something you have to deal with instead of white knighting for goons on 4chan of all places.

>>2294168

Yawn.

Anyhoo, favorite moment out of the new eps, guys?

>>2294180
Hard to top Abe riding that plastic motorcycle.

I really loved the whole "Character in your head" segment compilation, though, that was really funny.

>>2294205
>Hard to top Abe riding that plastic motorcycle.

Same here. Abe riding that made me actually laugh hard IRL.
I had to wind that back and watch it again and again. Definitely the highlight of that whole episode.

>>2294278
>epic bait

Sorry for that retarded name. I've deleted it now.
It was just meant for that one reply but I kinda forgot.

I really don't want to stir shit up in here.

what are the best episodes to introduce someone to the series?

>>2294727
Tokimeki memorial. Always. It's funny as fuck.

>>2294762
I just got done watching that one, great episode.

>>2294727
Tokimeki of course. America trip is good as well. I liked CRQ but that's not really an introductory episode.

I'm tempted to skip ahead and see this stuff.

>>2294869
It's really not worth it. No different that any other episode. It just appears different because people are talking about them.

>>2294869
It's not like there's a whole lot of continuity anyways. A lot of callbacks are to episodes that haven't even been translated yet.

Are there any bad GCCX episodes?

>When I Turned Around He Was There

What is the name of that segment referring to? He as in the game they are playing for the 30th anniversary or is it referring to the developer of the game still being in business? Or is this supposed to be one of those meaning lost in translation type of situations where the sentence only makes sense in Japanese language.

>>2294968
A lot of them are boring as hell and I only pay attention to the game center segment.

>>2294995
That just means you don't like the show.

>>2295000
I started out liking it a lot but once you notice the formula it gets kind of boring.

>>2295000
he's right though, I mainly sit through the boring ones because i'm hoping one of those moments of brilliance will happen again

>>2295003

Nah, you started finding it boring. The original GCCX thread on SA started what, almost 10 years ago, and people are still around and following the show which wouldn't happen if it were actually considered boring.

Hold on to and hug your Arino plushies, it's gonna be a drought again for a while.

>>2295021
Well maybe it's because everything they've seen over the course of 10 years I've seen in less than one?

>>2295024
Good, you can give the general a break then.

>>2295035

A lot of people here have watched every episode more than once.

It's just a matter of opinion dawg

>>2295039
Arino just wanted to save the day. He wanted to feel proud during their amazing dinner and say "You all wanted me to bet red but I knew it would be black!"

>>2295041

It's okay, he went back and won mad stacks for himself afterwards.

>>2295042
Yeah you're right zari-gani's translations are the only SA ones with a sense of humor. 129 had me fist pumping like Pauly D.

People tried to shit on the "mad stacks" translation hot-cold style a few years ago.

>>2295058
Yeah, It's so much better when the translation is funny instead of accurate.

>>2295060
"WE NEED CATCHPHRASES PEOPLE WILL QUOTE ON THE INTERNET"

"But..."

>>2295060

I dont know about you people (and Arino) laughing at Inoko MAX and his skillz

He squints really hard I think cause either he can't see shit or his eyes dried up real quick.

Thank god, I thought no one was going to mention her. Best AD.

>>2295575
Have not seen Urakawa or Sasano in a while, which is a shame... Also, Cardigan is a baller! Favorite has to be Toujima, though.

>>2295786

Never forget Urakawa's sacrifices.

>>2295775
Only AD with a perfect win record. Good old Inoko MAX took the fall for her in The Legend of the Mystical Ninja. Granted it would have been fun to see her and Arino do co-op.

>>2295793
Have the ADs ever failed to complete a game outside of Kiki?

>>2295786
Last I remember Urakawa and Sasano appearing was them being reduced to Jobbers for the current ADs in Ninja Gaiden 2.

Someone seriously needs to sub "TVゲーム・ジェネレーション ~8bitの魂~", really nice documentation about 8bit stuff, also game design. You can find both DVD parts on PerfectDark.
A must see.

>>2295058
I don't like their hot-and-cold translation nor their joke when they put "gamay obera" but I thought mad stacks was a good choice.

>>2295827
The "gamay obera" one is a running joke on the show about Arino mispronouncing game over.

>>2295793
I've always wondered if the ADs are actually that good or if Arino is just that bad.

>>2295838

Arino is definitely pretty bad, but you need to keep in mind that the ADs scout out and practice all the games featured in the show pretty thoroughly before they film the episodes. By the time you see them play they're already very familiar with the game in question.

>>2295575
Emoto looks like he's dying.

I am so glad I never tried to keep playing that Saint Seiya game...
That was some DULL bullshit.

>>2295881
At quick glance I thought Sasano got a tattoo.

Why did the translator call Takahashi Mr.Desler? That's not what デスラ was referring to and makes no sense.

>>2296046
What was it referring to? Space Battleship Yamato?

>>2296053
I'm pretty sure it started earlier in season 15 when Takahashi said "even I took X amount of time" (or something like that). Arino started mocking him for it with デスラ which was part of the sentence Takahashi had used.

Just watched the Budokan challenge again

Nakayama actually going out there in front of thousands and overcoming his shyness was the greatest part.
I really felt good for him.

>>2296081
Huh. Not sure how you could possibly translated that. Tricky!

>>2296101
I remember him at TGS, too. He's a good sport, they all are.

>>2294968
Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom. The game itself was pretty boring, so much so it almost put Arino to sleep while he was playing it. Nothing interesting happened at all, it was a giant yawn.

Legend of Zelda:OOT was pretty damn bad.

Shiren the Wanderer and Legend of the River King 2 were both pretty boring. Saint Seiya seems to be shaping up that way as well.

I personally find all the Visual Novel and Quiz game episodes to be pretty boring, but that's a matter of personal taste.

>>2296127
>Legend of Zelda:OOT was pretty damn bad
I was so disappointed but in hindsight it couldn't have been good putting a long game like that in a 80-ish minute window.

Most quiz episodes are boring but for some reason I really liked the one about raising a child.

>>2296127
>Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom
First episode I actually slept through.

>>2296127
>>2296146
I feel like the first and latest quiz episodes (Nobunaga's ambition and CRQ) are very good tier and the other ones are kinda meh. The first one has some best staff interaction of the whole series with Arino scolding Toujima & Urakawa and Kan & Abe fighting over right answers.

>>2296146
>>2296218
Seeing Arino interact with the staff is one of the funnest parts of the show to me, which is why I love the quiz episodes. They feel to me like an extended in-between segment

>>2296232
The staff interaction I feel is half the show. Derby Stallion was a lame game, but the staff interaction made it a rather good episode.

>>2296127
thing is i can't find the shiren subs ANYWHERE

now I know they were there before but now it's just segments and I can't find any fucking place that has them now.

>>2294727
>>2294762
>>2294780
A silly, fun episode but it reminds me of my loveless high school days

>>2296784
They're part of the licensed Retro Game Master DVD. SA subbed the cut segments afterward.

>>2296875
It would be nice if someone could merge the cut segments with the show.

>>2296943
Yeah well the sub files for Shiren are on the disc, easily rippable from the subbed rips, and SA did the segments, and the .TS for both eps exists. But it would just get deleted from here so what's the point

>>2296992
Put them on Mega or create a separate torrent that includes all the combined episodes?

I don't see why they delete the links. Or just put it in /t/ and do a cross board link.

Except for Actraiser
That game's rad

>>2297939
It's not the crime, it's the cover up. Seriously, if you just let people blow off steam and either debate the merits of their grievances or just ignore it. Policing in this case will just create a larger blow back where people will shitpost just to get a reaction now.

>>2297963
You'd think they'd let Arino play more Simulator games, but I assume it's because he gets so absorbed he doesn't do anything funny. Like in Actraiser where he spent 40 minutes saying nothing because he was so focused on world building.

Has he done Sim City or populous yet?

>>2297971
>this post has been deleted by sad jan

>>2297094
If you don't know Japanese, you're in no position to judge translation accuracy. The TVN subs are comically bad.

>>2298050
Do they get the main point of what they're trying to say across? Then they're useable no matter how crappy they are.

It ain't Hong Kong tier and if people really didn't like TVN, another sub group would redo them. Like how SA did Yoshi's Island even after someone else subbed the episodes. Granted, that was a dick move to be honest.

>>2298064
>Do they get the main point of what they're trying to say across?

No. The translation is practically troll-tier to the point where you can watch an episode raw and know that anything you didn't understand through context TVN's "translator" didn't understand either.

>>2298064
>Like how SA did Yoshi's Island even after someone else subbed the episodes.
SA and LC both started on the Yoshi's Island episodes right after they aired. LC released the first part of theirs, then SA released both parts of theirs, then LC finished the second part of theirs. A similar thing happened with the EarthBound online episode in an even shorter period of time.

>>2295793
how is this even legal

>>2298096
He had breaks.

>>2298110
More like breakdowns.

>>2298096
Because Japanese work like crazy. Most of the hours people work 1 full time job here (40-50 hours per week) would be considered part time in Japan.

The detectives game are pretty boring for me. I don't really care to see him go through that type of game.

>>2298064

The thing is that with only the goon squad subbing right now, they'd rather concentrate on doing new episodes rather than redoing the old TV-N stuff. Personally, I'd prefer it if the goon squad redid the TV-N stuff, but more people want to see the newer episodes, it seems.

The first season in particular is in SERIOUS fucking need of a redo - TV-N only subbed the challenge parts of these episodes, and that was when the challenge was only a small part of the show (only during season 2 and 3 would they transition to the format that is now used after the challenge part proved particularly popular - at least I think that's what happened) - the rest was interviews and other stuff, which is all very interesting, but never got subbed. Look at the first three episodes (done completely by the goon squad), and then realize there's eight more episodes of that awesome stuff that TV-N just left out because of whatever reason (I presume laziness?).

And that's not even mentioning the subbing quality. If people complain about the translation quality from the goon squad subs, they'd have a fucking coronary from the TV-N stuff. Sentences would completely lose their meaning, sentence structures would end up ridiculously awkward, they did that retarded fucking "just keep all the words that don't have a direct translation" thing (if you thought "tsundere was bad, you ain't seen shit yet), oh man, it was terrible. There were some poor souls that started watching GCCX from TV-N subs and quit because they were so shit.

I recall seeing a collection of all the dumb shit found in the TV-N subs - I think it was an Imgur album? - can somebody repost that?

Suffice it to say that TV-N was bad, and ideally all GCCX subs from them would be phased out through somebody else doing the episodes as well.

>>2298268
TV-N are fucking weeaboos who refuse to translate "SuFami" as "Super NES", "Super Nintendo" or even "Super Famicom" because doing so would ruin the holy Japanese language

fucking trash subs from a trash subtitle group

>>2297906
Guy sucks worse than Arino who at least plays his games.

>>2298268
>Look at the first three episodes (done completely by the goon squad), and then realize there's eight more episodes of that awesome stuff that TV-N just left out because of whatever reason (I presume laziness?).

That stuff is mostly interviews and history stuff, so it's technically a good thing they didn't touch them. The interviews they translated in Season 2 are so horrendously mistranslated they completely misrepresent what's being said, and a mistranslated interview isn't very useful.

>I recall seeing a collection of all the dumb shit found in the TV-N subs - I think it was an Imgur album? - can somebody repost that?

This is why soft subs could be useful, you could make the entire thing nothing but onomotapoetic fart noises and it would be just as good if it was timed to the dialogue...then whoever wanted could fix it.

>>2298313
I lost it at Takao-san. Thanks for this reminder.
>>2298084
My take is that if a sub group wants to sub a highly anticipated episode, should they skip ite because one guy somewhere said he wants to release it with no guarantees? (Granted, LC actually did it, but subsequently vanished.) I mean, when /vr subbed stuff, we found what SA was planning and did something else, something more obscure.

If you look at the examples there, though, there's not much to "fix" - the problem is that the translation is just plain fucking wrong. These thing need to be completely retranslated from scratch, they're not mostly decent subtitles that just need a bit of a touchup.

This stuff is worse than Google Translate.

Wow guys, shot tangent here but

I remember like about 5-6 years ago on /m/, people complaining about TV-N's guess-subs

And he/they still making subtitles, and apparrently people (most likely casuals) still downloading, and clearly on every related board, people are still calling those subs shit (which is what they are).

Some things just never change!

Anybody remember which episode had "Here it is again. That feeling called 'despair'!"?

Found on SA

The big announcement about Season 19 is asking Arino what he'd like to do for the next season, he reflects on challenging D, and says he'd like to challenge games on newer systems. As such, from Season 19, games on the PS1, Saturn and 3DO are 'unlocked', meaning we'll be seeing more challenges using them.

I know now that there are at least two melodies for " You Should Visit this Game Center Sometime"
- Ikoku no Shirabe from Hiwou War Chronicles
- Azumanga Daioh OST 1 - Yasumi jikan desuka

I think there are a few more, need to listen more carefully from now on.

>>2301028
The first one is used at the start, when Arino is reading the card and the Azumanga Daioh one is used when presenting the place.

Mito Koumon; if only for the following being uttered by Arino:

"Game Center CX! Kacho--Oh, the lid's closed."

Are we going by total wins, win lose ratio, or personality?

Why the fuck does Ugly Duckling play at the beginning of the Wonder Boy in Monster Land episode? Those guys are most likely not even popular or well known in the USA

Speaking of music, all the links are dead in the pastebin and a 4th of the songs for the youtube list are removed.

This must be rectified.

>>2303068
Booo. Anyone have them? Mediafire probably isn't the best host anymore, is it?

>>2303076
>Mediafire

Hasn't been for a while. I myself have gotten a copyright notice on completely safe stuff.

Put them on Mega, they haven't even removed the Kotaku episodes from their servers even though whenever we post the link here, it gets deleted.

The youtube list is zari-gani's, and I think the guy who made those custom soundtracks is around here sometimes. Maybe he can reupload them on a better host. The pastebin editor might know how to contact him.

I just have a playlist that mainly consist of the 10th anniversary soundtrack and some other songs featured in the show thrown in the mix.

And the Hiwou war chronicles OST which they used a few times. I'm still in the process of tracking some of the more obscure music from the show, but no one seems to know some of the tunes they use as BGM.

I did the custom soundtracks, and yeah, I'm around. Let me check and see what's up - I never got any messages from Mediafire about my stuff going down.

Maybe I'll put it on Mega next time, they seem less anal.

How up to date are the listings?

I wanted the song that plays during the season 15 preview at the beginning of the show if possible.

Alright, here's some new links, hope these stay up.

First, the 20th anniversary soundtrack CD combined with my own additions: https://mega.co.nz/#!qVpXTAKa!ydStkTHlrZLKE0srASn4Ktkif2JrT8GWPTp4SpWItXA

And here's the collection of video game music where I tried to pick a song for every episode. Obviously, it's still fairly incomplete: https://mega.co.nz/#!eVpDCKTR!f4PX4oy_EIZsJsQk1bUmgsJgEkpj6M2YTohw_d_XfbU

I think I made my additions based on what was around before the F-Zero episodes got subbed.

Not sure which song you're talking about - the piano piece at the beginning of the Gimmick episode?

Thanks!

That "Music to Kacho on!" list is pretty good.

I'll add a file including a few songs used in the show you didn't have on the bigger pack and I've ripped from youtube myself.
