/vr/ - Retro Games

JD = HUGE FAGGOT

JD = PATHETIC LOSER

I hope someone recorded the Nico stream.

>>2366471
This is just a mirror of what somebody posted to youtube in the last thread https://mega.co.nz/#!5BVVGZQS!wCWwkv0luHteNFm5GsPYKLG6CyikbXyRilXXqejSy9o

The niconico thing is totally worth watching, btw. Arino's reactions to people dying in his(?) Mario Maker levels is priceless. And you can see Miyamoto suck at Mario, kinda embarassing.

Looks like we have another NES Remix on our hands.

>>2366543
Wait, is that about NES Remix 2? Or Mario Maker special?

>>2366552

Mario Maker special. I referred to it as "another NES Remix" because that was the other case where an episode happens and the team decides "we have to sub this quick".

Which I'm fine with. From what I've heard, the special is rad, so getting it subbed faster is cool.

>>2366543
I wonder if they got a decent raw?
I can't check if one got uploaded myself since I'm having some PC issues.

Finished Season 4 just now, and 3 a week before. How essential is Solomon's Key? I know I'm going back to Prince of Persia and then on to Umihara Kawase. Hopefully Arino will play lesser-knowns like Mettomag or Nectaris in the future (any good wargame/strategy episodes?).

>>2366632
That's one of my favorite games. I don't think it's a standout episode; there's a ton of stuff in the game they don't show at all. It was kind of disappointing since it's one of the best puzzle games on the FC.

>>2366641
Is the Babel ep in S14 a better FC puzzle episode? That game's interesting also; didn't see a listing for Kwirk/Puzzle Boy in the guide sadly.

I can't believe the Nico dude actually took the coin trail bait. Also, Arinoppa's levels were trollish but surprisingly fair.

>>2366632
>any good wargame/strategy episodes?
Literally none afaik. I'd love to see him play some Koei.

>>2366706
I totally would have followed the arrows. "Yaaay!"

That cracked me up. The Mario Maker thing looks interesting but it's totally something they should have done like 20 years ago, or at least with WiFi on the DS. Not sure it's worth owning a WiiU for.

>>2366675
Solomon's Key is still worth watching, I think. I was just surprised they didn't show some of the secrets like the hidden seals or especially the Bombjack in level 18 (I think?). Still one of my top 10 FC games, maybe all consoles actually. I feel like nobody makes interesting puzzle games anymore, even on mobiles it's all just matching games. I wonder why Tecmo never saw fit to make a new version. Or could it be that I'm alone in my love for this game?

Oh, Tower of Babel is cool, too. I like the puzzle kachou, it's more interesting that the usual FC kusoge.

>>2366879
Intelligent Systems has done some good puzzlers recently, like Pushmo/Crashmo and Boxboy. Will have to get the DVDs for all these Tecmo episodes I can't download.

>>2366716
Not even Famicom Wars...

>>2366716
Well, there is the Fire Emblem Nintendo Channel episode, but it's pretty bad.

>>2366543
Literally fossilizing waiting for subs

>>2366542
was Arino wearing wig during the event? And in studio footage his hair looked iffy as well.

I even heard he said "hair"

>>2367203
He got a weave.

GCCX has taught me that there's an unlimited supply of Ninja games out there.

Woody Poco or Woody Poko? The PC versions get referred to as the former everywhere I look. Anyway, waiting on that sub.

>>2367290
I've added this information to my Excel spreadsheet regarding your viewing habits, right after the season 3 and 4 information and Tecmo episode lust. Thank you tripcode identity user, for enriching my life with these details. Perhaps I will make a blog for you.

>>2367341
Please don't turn into that guy from /sp/ who wrote a 100-page pdf on a tripfag.

>>2367393

What makes you think he isn't that guy?

>>2366278
I've really fallen behind on my GCCX I haven't watched anything this year I think. What are the best episodes out of the recent subbed ones in the OP (and behind them if you want to mention some others I don't know)?

>>2367498
Super Mario Land was a standout. I liked Nosferatu a lot too.

>>2367393
>Please don't turn into that guy from /sp/ who wrote a 100-page pdf on a tripfag.
link?

>>2367215
Is he balding?

>>2367550

With hair that thick, I doubt it.

>>2367498
Be sure to see the People In My Head special on nyaa, it was a discarded segment they didn't use on the show. Staff members draw video game characters from memory, quite funny.

>>2367542
You don't want that anon. You REALLY don't want that.

It was a dark day for all involved.

>>2368101
Maybe you'd feel better if he gave you one of the posts he printed out so you could feel the same joy he did.

>start watching season 5
>mfw this new AD

>>2368568

You had best not be talking shit about Inoko MAX.

>>2368580
does he get good? I only watched 2 episodes of season 5. I felt bad for him during contra.

>>2368584
People in the thread seem to like him a lot but I think he's pretty shitty.

>>2368584

Skill-wise he's one of the worst ADs but almost everyone loves the guy anyway. He's very sympathetic.

The mini-segment in season 13 where he and Arino watch "shocking game footage" at Inoue's apartment is one of my favorites just because of how absurd it is.

I actually like the English narrator on this.

what are the most watch episodes?

Man, there's a lot of stuff to digest here.
Is there a lot more content now after that 90GB torrent on TPB? I think it has seasons 1 to 17.

PoP was fun. Challenger episode didn't have much to offer, though it's technically the first time Arino goes to hell (the sand trap) and that's cool. I wonder if TV-N misinterpreted the invincibility cheat as immortality, or if that's how the narration actually says it.

>>2368885
There's like 30gb more

>>2368885
make sure to get the high definition versions of tant-r and super mario land when you get episodes missing from the torrent

>>2368885
There's a bunch more on nyaa since then. Any with slurs in the name are translations stolen from another group without permission.

>>2366879
this episode needs to be put back onto the gamingcx site

>>2368930
>>2368956
>>2369046
Thanks a bunch.
I should be able to just get the rest of them by following links in the OP and searching on Nyaa?

>>2369057
Yeah, the links in the OP will take you to all the legit subs.

>>2369046
You don't see the slurs in the name when it's fullscreen high definition. Better than the original 312p. Orange torrent negates the need for permission. Original translators are credited clearly.

>>2369292
Even the links to SA's home page and their usual credits are preserved at the end (improved with transparency etc.) people need to chill down. They're there for everyone not to cause territorial pissing matches. The originals were all small and fuzzy.

>>2369057
Just search for CX on Nyaa under English Translated Live Action and update from where the torrent leaves off. The Mega Man X and Donkey Kong Country 2 episodes are quite high quality in content and presentation.

>>2369292
No sub group would want to have their subs used on something with a slur attacking another group. You're admitting right now that it's a slur. You need to get over yourself. A lot of us have told you to talk to SA about their video quality instead of bitching about it here but you won't listen. Random Stranger has a public email at sagamecentercx@gmail.com so there's no excuse for not trying. You don't have to sign up or anything. You can't expect the core group to read through every thread on every forum and sort through all the garbage to find whatever point you're trying to make.

>>2368864
Clocktower.

Get it? Watch?

>>2369347
VR isn't a group, VR-GCCX is a defunct sub group and distinct. /vr/ is a board that people talk about retro games on in a frequently asinine tone.

>>2369354
We saw when you started using that slur name. We know it's about the group.

>>2369354
You're lying to justify your own bullshit and missing the point.
>A lot of us have told you to talk to SA about their video quality instead of bitching about it here but you won't listen.
Complaining and taunting here does nothing.

>>2369360
What else did I do? Was it before or after I needed to get over myself? Should I email that address tonight in order to get the guy with the torrent to download those two episodes in high definition (my stated goal)?

>>2369365
Alright this will be my last post until things get normal I guess. Again I repeat: the new episodes of GCCX can be found on NYAA, in the Live Action English Translated section. I don't think this is a lie and I'm not really trying to justify anything other than where the episodes can be found. The ones in orange are improvements over the earlier ones and other than that they're all the right versions.

The trolling encoder is never going to leave or change, so let's make a deal. Any time JD tries to whitewash something, just post the Kakaricho emails or thread archives and ignore when JD lies about it. Let everybody read for themselves. Don't keep turning threads into pointless fights.

>>2369427
OK

>>2369427
>>2369501

>>2369501
>I'd delete the episode
>I will keep these emails private

My sides

>>2369504
>so long as you do the same.
JD didn't keep them private. JD posted one to try to make Kakaricho look bad. Kakaricho posted the whole chain in response. That thread was chaos.

http://imgur.com/a/2Rmh6

>>2369514
No, posting private emails is the kind of thing that people who threaten to delete translations do...not people who steal from the blurry and give to the high def.

>>2369502
Kakaricho threatened to make days unpleasant first

Could we please try to ignore the shitposting around that certain theme? Report, ignore, move on.

On a more positive note, there's new GCCX subbed content on the way. I watched a bit of the raw and I'm stoked.

>>2368623
Inoko is the lovable loser and punching bag of GCCX. Granted Nakayama took over the title of punching bag.

He also has his extreme highs and lows. Like when he first started out, everyone hated him due to the fact that he sucked at games. Then he became useful and that peaked at the Live Mighty Bomber Jack show. Then he pissed that all away by acting like a total jackass during the Takashi Challenge special to where fans actually faxed in comments calling him a bastard. He sorta redeemed himself with the Lemming Challenge with Inoko's Challenge and it's been in limbo ever since. Granted he must be well liked by the staff since they covered for him when he was passed out drunk in a parking lot and late for a shoot.

What kind of shit thread demands email screenshots then erases demand when theyre posted then gets the guy banned for fulfilling his demand? Nice move janny

>>2369598
The Janitor if /vr/ works in odd ways.


He wouldn't last a day in /sp/ or /jp/

>>2369595
I remember reading a story (here or SA) that during filming of the Shocking videos MAX segments, they spotted a notice that Inoue's electricity would be cut if he didn't pay his bills, and that lead to Kan subsequently offering him a job with the show.

As a gamer he's not the strongest but as a person he's very enjoyable and Arino can bounce a lot of jokes off him, as we have seen from various travel specials.

And yes Nakayama somewhat took over the "socially awkward AD" role later on, but he took it to his own extremes.

>>2366278
>mfw lost like 50GB of episodes accidentally

>>2369604
I fear for this and may require another device to have a backup just in case

>>2369602
Any AD that Arino can do good banter with is a keeper. I'm betting that's the only reason Tsukawa wasn't just outright fired for his multiple fuck ups early on because he was able to have a good dynamic with Arino. I wouldn't be surprised if his rendition of 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō is what saved him from being thrown off the show since a lot of the staff didn't like him.

I really want to know if the staff warmed up to him in the end and if there is a new least liked AD, or if the staff would phrase it more politely since they were damn blunt in saying Tsukawa was the worst.

>>2369602

Arino pointing out the notice was included in the segment, it's from Koshien Baseball.

>>2369604
>>2369623
Copied all my gccx stuff to my new 5TB HDD.
Got 13TB of storage total now, feels good.
When I start earning money I'm gonna have to get triple the space so I can have a couple of backups or something.

>>2369623
>mfw about 400 gigs of GCCX, Gaki no Tsukai and so on backed up on my father's external HDD

I backed up all of his stuff on my external HDD as a trade so we both have atleast one more backup. It's a win-win.

>>2369585
>On a more positive note, there's new GCCX subbed content on the way. I watched a bit of the raw and I'm stoked.

The Mario Maker live event?

>>2370028

Yeah

>>2370030
>Original Let's Player
What in the sixty niggers in the butthole of satan is this shit?

>>2370036

Arino was one of the first big Let's Players before it became a real thing in the west, just because most of them are dumb youtube celebs nowadays doesn't really change the fact that he was playing video games while doing commentary for an audience which is the definition of an LP.

The translated term was probably 実況プレイ

http://jisho.org/search/%E5%AE%9F%E6%B3%81%E3%83%97%E3%83%AC%E3%82%A4

>>2370053

>The translated term was probably 実況プレイ

Yeah, that was the one.

>>2370064
>>2370053
>Another way to associate Arino with Goons.
This makes me sad.

>>2370080

What?

Should I watch the mario maker episode now or wait for subtitles

>>2370084

Might as well wait, probably.

>>2370083
Don't reply to the SA hating shitposter.
He's a lunatic who has been on a holy crusade against SA for over 2 years now.

>>2370101

I just didn't get the logic, I know slowbeef coined the term but I don't think anyone associates Let's Play with SA specifically these days.

>>2370101
>Defending SA on 4chan
absolutely disgusting

>>2370101

holy shit you're a fucking dumb cunt gtfo

>>2370053
Calling a professionally filmed and edited TV show with a somewhat veteran comedian (Yoiko started activities in 1990) a "Let's Play" is a fucking insult.

>>2370118

So what's the proper translation for 実況プレイ then?

>>2370118

That's an accurate translation for the term used, maybe you should go and complain to Kibe.

>>2370123
He should be fired, or publicly admonished by Kane after the Super Mario Land disaster.

It was only worth it because Arino was just milking the situation for all its worth and making a complete ass out of Kibe.

>>2370129

>Kane

Good thing you're not working on the show or you'd be flying out the door alongside him.

>>2369629
>Tsukawa
I think you mean Tsuruoka.

>>2370101
Do you really think there's only one person that dislikes SA?

>>2370201

Most of us don't care and the arguments about it are always retarded.

Just watched the 24h Lemmings compilation again.

Dat GAYme Center CX part mang.

Has anyone checked out Abe's cooking blog since it launched last year? I'm on there right now but having google translate the text messes up how the site looks and I can't into Japanese.

Anyone happen to have his recipes translated?

>>2370202
And you speak for the silent majority? If you're not holding your nose when SA is mentioned, you're just a pitiful newfag. No ifs, ands or buts.

>>2370338

There clearly are butts since you're still posting.

>>2370345
Just because we have to tolerate you and the white knights, doesn't mean you can silence us.

>>2370360

Silencing you would be like losing the local village idiot, it would be more peaceful but it'd be a shame since every community needs a mascot and your rambling is kind of endearing.

>>2370364
Don't you have your 10 bucks to pay?

>>2370360
>doesn't mean you can silence us.

The problem here is that you insist on preaching to an audience that hates you for trying to destroy the fun for everyone.
If you were really honest about what you say, you could just help the people who put out actual subs instead of trying to destroy everything for everyone.
We have tried to give you all the information you need to improve the quality of SA subs for YEARS.
At this point, I really wonder why you put so much energy into this and what is going wrong in your personal life.

>>2370368

Hell, I'd pay fifteen if it ensured you stick around and keep acting like a fool for everyone else's entertainment.

>>2370371
You're mistaking me for someone else, I just don't like SA, Goons, and white knights.

>>2370376
I just thought you were JD and/or his attack dog for a moment.

I also hope a janitor cleans this mess up.
GCCX threads must be a lot of work for them.

I'm just so sick and tired of this asshole trying to derail every single thread we have about this show.

>>2370381
JD was a thundering faggot who killed a subbing group that would have added some much needed competition to the subbing of GCCX episodes and specials since Clover bowed out and LC is non-existent.

I agree with SA's localization, however don't care much with how they take liberties with certain parts. (I.E. Arino at the Casino.) But yeah, either engage my opinions or ignore them, I don't care. I also don't care for shitposters like >>2370375 >>2370364 >>2370345

>>2370376
Even if you hate SA for some reason, can you keep it out of here since this is a place for fun, good times and Arino.

>>2370395
This so fucking much.

In the end, we don't give a fuck about muh elitist wars and just want to watch GCCX.

Reminder that Arino and Chiaki could have been a thing without Endo interfering.

Puu~~

>>2370430

>>2370406
I don't know how to word this without sounding like I'm indirectly attacking SA.

I think part of the reason there's so much shitposting is because there's not really much to talk about because of the length of time between sub releases.

>>2370430
Chiaki is pretty cute. Endo needs more self control. I wonder if the trial during one of the no laughings acts like a deterrent now. Probably not.

>>2370435

>I think part of the reason there's so much shitposting is because there's not really much to talk about because of the length of time between sub releases.

I'm pretty sure we can all agree that the drought-deluge system the goon squad uses is directly related to causing this problem. Like, it'd be going against reality not to think so.

I never figured out exactly why they do this, and I feel like it'd be stupid to ask. They must have a reason, right?

>>2370435
>Chiaki is pretty cute.

She's an actual IRL waifu.
I just want to hug her whenever I see her.

>>2370129
If Inoue doesn't get fired for sleeping in and being late (recently for the book sale event), Kibe's fine.

>>2370310
I've made a few, pretty good for the most part, GF liked it too. Did you want any one in particular translated?

Here's a bunch of shit for your consideration.

>>2370395
>>2370406
Demanding these threads be a hug box is a fucking moronic and extremely naive. It's people's moot given right to state unpopular opinions and until Goons stop subbing GCCX material, they're fair game to talk about in these threads since they are relative to the show. Same as TV-Nihon, but you don't see people willing to defend them.

By blindly demanding that all negativity towards SA be ceased, you are only emboldening anti-SA sentiments because you reinforce the idea that there are Goons posting here and you are white knighting for them. This will cause people to double down on their opinions which will lead to actual shitposting.

Second, the Goons are open to criticism. While some critisms are irrational, like anything that comes from Joanna Dark's ass. There is a lot that is valid. Like some of their choice translations are highly questions, 'Mad stacks' is one of the great offenders in my opinion. Or the fact they sub a bunch of episodes over time and instead of releasing them individually, they dump them over a period of a few days, while at the same time not creating more seeds and creating an early bottle neck for downloading. And the few times they do set dates, they often miss them. When people bring these up, shouting them down is the WRONG course of action. Goons are not infallible and fair game. To just blatantly White Knight will cause further complications because of what was stated above.

So stop walking on goddamn egg shells, this is 4chan, you're allowed to say what you want and as long as the Janitor doesn't go on a Hot pocket induced deletion spree and it's not blatant shitposting, everyone deserves to have a voice, no matter how asinine or how you much you disagree with it.

>>2370512

Since it's 4chan we're also allowed to call you out and point out what a joke you are every time you post more nonsense. Also you don't know how Capital Letters Work.

You write like a crazy person who takes this far more seriously than any sane person should, and besides everything you say applies right back at you, nobody needs to listen or care about a word you write. And most people don't, because it's just a silly Japanese gameshow and people have more important things to care about.

>>2370512
Are you the same guy who argued endlessly that "tsundere" is a term that cannot be translated accurately therefore should be left as it is?

>>2370512
If you really absolutely refuse to talk about the show could you pathetic autists at least trip up so it's easier for us GCCX fans to ignore you?

>>2370512
I agree that one should be able to give critique, but more often than not it's just the same old fucking tired debate about the same topics you personally mentioned. We all know the release schedule is erratic by now, we all know SA subs with heavy localization. Throw in a healthy dose of 4chan vs. SA dogfight and it gets very old.

And yes the lack of content is the probably the biggest reason why the same thing goes 'round and 'round.

Am I the only one who fought the Super Spy Hunter episode was rather low-key? I just got around to watching it, and I'm pretty disappointed since the game is so crazy.

>>2370463
If you could translate his Ramen Pizza recipe that would be amazing, I've wanted to make that since I saw it in one of the episodes.

http://camabe.blog.fc2.com/blog-date-201411.html

>>2370556
Work's been quiet, I'll try and do it later today.

>>2370550

I can't recall the specifics but I remember liking that episode.

>>2370563
Much appreciated man.

>>2370512
What you call "white knighting" is people not having a dog in your fight and being annoyed with your imaginary drama.

>>2370545
>but more often than not it's just the same old fucking tired debate about the same topics
Maybe it's because they're still an issue.

>>2371001

And redebating it here brings us closer to resolving the issue how, exactly?

Mario Maker episode is done: http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=684014

Literally just posted a few minutes ago, so things will be slow, as usual.

>>2371018
awesome, didn't even know they were doing this.

>>2371018

>>2370538
>>2370541
Ad hominems, and straw men.

>>2370794
Clearly you do have a dog in the fight, otherwise you'd just ignore this and talk about the show.


Funny how only a few people like >>2370550
>>2370556 actually make the effort.

The worst thing in this thread is janitor censorship. The second is the circlejerk hugbox.

>>2370556

Here you go. You need to make yaki ramen first (naturally), so I translated that recipe too.

Yaki Ramen - http://pastebin.com/g0GV3Z2c

Yaki Ramen Pizza - http://pastebin.com/jwp3zKhZ

The yaki ramen might be hard to make if you don't have an Asian supermarket or can't find some of the stuff online.

If you make any of, tweet a picture of it to Abe, he'd probably enjoy it, he seems to respond to fans a lot.

>>2371183
Man that sounds super carb heavy, but tasty. Think I'll try the ramen sans pizza.

>>2371018
>3 days to translate it
Wish they'd do the rest of the episodes that fast.

Has Miyamoto ever played Mario before? Jesus christ.

>>2371201
Abe's from Fukuoka, so a lot of his food sort of leans towards junk food. Fukuoka's famous for it's food carts that make this sort of stuff.

http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4803.html

>>2371210
One live hour on stage is pretty easy to get done in a hurry. They don't have to deal with lots of text on screen or different segments or researching much of anything.

>>2370512
>people's moot given right
This phrase is hilarious.

Also big ups to the subbers for another subbed episode!! I'm in the hospital after getting my appendix out and this is the best thing I could've asked for.

>They don't have to deal with lots of text on screen or different segments or researching much of anything.

Pretty much this. Research alone eats up a ton of time, and everything they said was really straightforward, no obscure references or the like.

>>2371258
Text on screen would make it easier.

>>2371018
>that first level Arino made so far

that shit was stressful this nigga evil.

>>2371183
Thanks Kakaricho!

>>2371018
Huh, that game isn't even out yet?
They actually let Arino play it and make some levels and stuff? GCCX must be quite popular and have connections.

I've known about the Chief for a long time but I've never actually watched him outside of the Punch Out episode.
Does the Gamingcx site have all of the episodes?

>>2371540
Oh and on the topic, what are some of the essential episodes to watch?

>>2370583
To be honest, it wasn't a bad episode (especially the second half), but I excepted something better.

>>2371018
That was fast.

>>2371541

DK Country 2, MegaMan X

>>2371540
More or less. The only episodes not on there are those which were released on the Retro Game Master DVD, which can be found elsewhere.

>>2371541
>>2371541
Tokimeki Memorial
Densha De Go
Parappa the Rapper
Super Gussun Oyoyo
F-Zero (two parter)
Castlevania III

>>2371541
Quest of Ki, Densha De Go, Tokimeki Memorial, Street Fighter 2, Ghosts & Goblins, any of the quiz games.

>>2371018
AWW YISS

>>2371183
Oh it's the same Ramen he made for Nakayama in the 24 Lemmings compilation, isn't it?

>>2371541
Do yourself a favor and watch it chronologically.

It's fine to watch a few great episodes first to get into the show, but then you should start watching it "the right way".

>>2371648

Yes it is.

I think he actually said something about "shaving the beard" or "plucking the hairs" instead of the "remove the long tip" I used when translating the recipe (I re-watched the DVD when I got home and sort of remembered the subs. I miss streams sometimes.)

It's still a pretty good and fairly simple recipe, even if you have to make some substitutes.

>>2371652

i'm still just starting, i've watched the frist ~5 or so episodes, as well as the most recent ~5 or so. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of trivia and inside jokes watching the more recent ones.

>>2370435
>>2370450
Whenever Endou came to visit their kid at Chiaki's house, after leaving and closing the door, he could hear the sound of air freshener or some sort of disinfectant spray coming from the inside. That and other stories told on the (IIRC some sort of divorce themed) Ametalk episode by him made Chiaki sound a terrible person.

Arino definitely got lucky finding his current wife. She is the same age as him (to be exact, one day older), has good looks, and even likes / understands game/anime/manga herself.

Wow the Mario Maker event was super fun.

I'm glad it got recorded and subbed.

>>2371904
Well I guess if you have your ex husband who cheated on you many times visit your child you get a bit passive aggressive. I can't blame her for that.

>meta posting
This is where I just derisively laugh

>>2371519
Arino has done some challenges specifically for Nintendo Channel and the eShop. Also he did a challenge with Iwata and they spent the time before talking to each other doing a fine interview.

Aki Eria never gets old. Gotta finish this episode now.

Seems to me like Shiggy got to the point where he just wanted to drag Arino backstage by his ear and give him a lesson or two on level design.

Arino's levels were definitely more of a ROM hack type than a straight-up type.

>>2372105
laughed when he kept saying TERRIBLE and then had to settle for saying something nice to not look like an ass

I wonder why one of the girls in a kirby hat kept hiding her face.

>>2372195

Probably just shy.

>>2369629
Japan is too weird. They're too polite or too mean. Arino seems like am asshole a lot, but I guess that's just his act?

And then someone does something totally innocuous and people blow up. Crazy.

Best parts of the show are still the corners. The lp is pretty meh.

>>2372113
I'm not entirely sure if Miyamoto meant Arino's efforts were "terrible" as in "bad" or "poorly done", but rather "cruel", because of the many cheap shots, Or rather, that's the way I understood it.
Miyamoto himself didn't want to stop playing until clearing it. The staff allowed him to break the rules because well, he's Shigeru Miyamoto.
If you put it that way, it makes sense that he complimented Arino for some new level design ideas, even if they're clearly against his philosophy.

Anyone else laughed when Arino started to call him Shigeru-chan/Shiggy out of nowhere?

>>2369347
if you could stop posting that would be nice

>>2372264

>cheap shots

We shouldn't forget that Miyamoto created the original Super Mario Bros. 2, a game that repeatedly kicks you in the balls from six different angles with so many unfair and horrible traps that they had to reskin an entirely different game and pretend that was SMB2 when releasing it outside of Japan.

>>2372271

>>2372264 here.
Good point!
It helps reinforce Arino's response to Miyamoto.
However, isn't there some rumors that Super Mario Bros. 2 became so difficult due to Takashi Tezuka's input?

>>2372264
sorry for basic question but:

has this been subbed? I think I see a link for it above but I am guessing its unsubbed?

>>2372287

Yes. It's subbed. Refer to >>2371018

By the way, what do you guys think of Arino's level design? Sometimes it reminds me Sonic and Donkey Kong Country rather than Mario. That trampoline at the start of stage 3 definitely points to some alternate route.

>>2372264
He was that Arino's levels were cruel.

>>2372293
I thought it was pretty good, it was cool seeing him show of the tricks he had come up with and the shortcuts.
I am definitely quite useless and don't really know what to do what you put a level creator in front of me, other than standard platforming.
Arino's had some interesting strategies that go well beyond what I've seen in the 2D Mairo games. I was impressed.

Just finished mario special.

I want to go smack this audience.

Seriously WTF JAPAN

These people SCREAMING bloody murder for the two let's play e-celebs.

And then Miyamoto himself gets hardly anything.

That's who you should be losing your damn minds over.

>>2372513
It was like the Kanye/Paul McCartney thing again.

>>2372293
>By the way, what do you guys think of Arino's level design?

I thought it was great, although I've never seen another person's custom levels to compare it to. I bet he could've just been lazy and slapped a bunch of pixel-perfect impossible jumps one after the other but he actually put effort into it and made some puzzle style gameplay. Not to mention the built in alternate paths, like using the giant koopa shell to break those blocks at the beginning.

Also him cackling every time one of them fell for his traps was hilarious.

>>2372513
It was a Nico Nico event, it stands to reason that people attending were there hoping to see their favorite streamer.

>>2372513
A similar event in the States would play out in the same exact manner.

Also Miyamoto wasn't as good as the streamers nor was as engaging with the audience.

>>2372513
>nico audience cares more about nico streamers
What a surprise.

>>2372513
It's the demographics, do any of those girls in the front row look like they're fans of Arino or know who Miyamoto is? Suck it up.


>>2372256
>Calling Arino's Challenge a Let's Play.
Fuck this gay earth

>>2372820
Because technically he is.

>>2372826
Technically, no.

Why? Actual production values.

>>2372835
Production values has nothing to do with it. It's a recording of him playing through a game with commentary. It's not the game in its entirety but it's still a let's play. The only difference is that it's on TV instead of youtube or nico or some site like that.

>>2372871
That's what makes all the difference and you expanding the definition of what a Let's Play. It's amateurs verses professionals.

>>2372907
It still doesn't matter whether or not it's amateur or professional. It's a let's play either way. Besides, there are people on youtube that make nothing but let's plays and they're paid for it. Therefore they're also professionals as it is their profession.

>>2371018
Holy shit, this episode was translated really quick. Good on 'em!

>>2372835
Not every LP was thrown together by a 15 y/o with a camcorder, homie.

>>2372921
Please, your definition is trying to be over inclusive of anything that involves a person recording themselves playing a game and talking.

>>2372949
The only one I've seen that isn't like that, or not done by a screaming lunatic is the Trespasser one.

>>2372953
Because that's essentially what it is. The only difference is that it's on TV and because it's on TV they can't show it unedited. It's a heavily edited Let's Play and your denial won't change that.

>>2372965
But it's not, you're being overly inclusive and stupidly trying to define everything in what it's not.

Also yes, some people are paid to be clowns, that doesn't make them true professionals.

>>2372986
Your only defense to it not being a Let's Play is production value.

>>2372991
And Arino's Challenges tend to be actually good and fun to watch, but you'll say that's subjective since you have shit taste.

Nevermind that GCCX existed before LP videos were even a thing at all.

>>2373003
And here comes the insults. You know, pointing out why you're wrong and then claiming if someone says that they are X or have the quality of Y does nothing for your argument. It just makes you look childish.

You can't say all LPs are shit and Arino is not shit therefore it's not an LP because that's (as you said) subjective and also circular reasoning.

>>2373012
So? Just because there wasn't a term for it or it wasn't a popular thing to do doesn't somehow invalidate the claim.

How the fuck is it a let's play when the Arino's Challenge sections are a compilation of good moments rather than a playthrough. You people really have nothing better to do.

>>2373019
I just don't see why you're so hell bent in dragging down the quality of GCCX by saying iis synonymous with low quality videos.

You a Goon?

>>2373023
I'm not trying to drag down the quality of GCCX. Just because you associate Let's Play with shit doesn't mean that all Let's Plays are shit or that that's how I view GCCX.

>>2373028
You clearly are since you're trying to brand Arino as a Let's Player and evidence is on my side that vast majority of Let's Plays are utter trash because there's no quality control and any mock can do it. Hell even some of the 'successful' ones aren't popular because they're good at the game or have a good personality, they just gamed the system and pulled something out of MGS2 to get where they are.


The whole thing is a joke and you do a massive disservice to GGCX by saying it's the same thing when it goes well beyond what a Let's Play is.

Why is Let's Play somehow a blanket term for anything involving video games? Especially a Japanese production that was made before streaming longplays with facecams became known as LP? Not to mention for the longest time LPs were fundamentally different from what they are today, see lparchive.org.

>>2373036
It doesn't matter if a vast majority of Let's Plays are shit. That just goes back to the circular reasoning of yours. Yes, GCCX is much better than the average Let's Play. So it's a good edited for TV Let's Play. The only reason you think I'm doing a disservice is because of your feelings towards Let's Plays.

I'm going to go ahead and bust out a shitty analogy. If I dislike all sports but baseball, is baseball suddenly not a sport because sports are shit but baseball is not? No, that's ridiculous.

how about you fuck off to some other thread with this "discussion" so the rest of us don't have to read this pathetic shit.

>>2373067
Yes, because you were having a well thought out discussion before this occurred. Come on boy, start another topic for us to discuss and we might pivot off this to that.

>>2373059
That analogy fails due to you retroactively trying to invalidate a term when it this case, you're trying to force an incorrect term on an already existing thing.

>>2373078
So then tell me, if you had a copy of his challenges that weren't edited to fit their allotted time on TV what would you call them? I'm pretty sure that's a Let's Play.

>>2373078
you can pivot on my dick before you kill yourself, fucking rube.

>>2373082
That would be an uncut Arnio's Challenge due to the fact that it has an objective for him to see the ending and it can end in failure.

No such perimeters exist in Let's plays.

>>2373086
Your only point there is the failure as I'm pretty sure most Let's Play people aim to finish the game. So if any Let's Play person out there decided to do a new game and gave themselves 12 hours to beat the game would that suddenly not be a Let's Play?

>>2373091
I've made several valid points that you continue to side step in your hellbent attempt to brand GCCX a let's play. But If we go by your logic, yes. It becomes a 'That person's name" Challenge' because there's an actual objective and stakes attached and not some raving lunatic screaming at the screen and blaming a game for their own failures.

>>2373094
What points? The production value, your opinion, and self imposed limits? At this point you're just arguing semantics. Take the same screaming retard that you think every Let's Player is and make him act the exact same way but give up a time limit and suddenly it's not a Let's Play because it's now the mystically detached "Challenge" in your eyes.

>>2370118
AAAAHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>2373098
Valid points, not opinions 1.

2. It's not magic when there's a set definition, the same sort of thing you're so gleefully wanting to impose on others.

Arino's Challenge is its own thing separate from Let's plays. if a person who did let's plays played by the same rules as Arino doe it would become their challenge, not a let's play. If Arino just did a straight playthough without restrictions until he completed the game that would be a let's play.

I expect the logical pretzel you'll need to create to say otherwise to be entertaining.

So do we need to be under 12 years old to post itt now? I wasn't made aware of this rule change.

>>2372657
>>2372718
>>2372770
>>2372820
its still MIYAMOTO.

these people they care about play video games, including MARIO games.

They can show some type of respect.

>>2372573
pretty much yea, even worse I would say.

>>2373116

Let's hope Specter just flushes this turd of
a thread and starts again. Or not, at this rate.

i loved arino's laugh when he fell for the coins in an arrow shape pointing down

>>2373120
He's not an instantly recognizable celebrity for most people, look at the audience, it's mainly young women.

Like some of my friends, they may watch the streamers because they're hot for the guy doing it.

>>2373124
Hardest I've ever laughed on a train, people looked at me like I was a madman.

>>2373114
So you saying all Let's Plays are shit is not an opinion? That's how highly you think of your view point?

A set definition? Sure. Setting a limit is in fact creating a Challenge. But that's really what you're going with? That adding a rule (that can and has been bent) suddenly makes it completely detached from a Let's Play even though you yourself admit that the only thing that would make a difference is the existence of a time limit? If I call it a timed Let's Play are you going to have an episode?

>>2373134
Ah, semantics AND moving the goal posts. Your futile attempts at incorrectly label won't work. Are you going to deny the fact that Arnio's Challenge by its nature is not a Let's Play due to the rules set placed on it?

Even a 'timed' let's play would have a different rule set since it would be strictly enforced and not free flowing as Arino's Challenge or GCCX.

Your whole argument now after your latest back peddling is that it's just a sub category of let's play, when the only thing they have in common is that it is recorded gameplay.


I've only see one Let's Play I'd consider to be good, the rest are sub standard garbage. It's very interesting why you're being so stubborn in trying to brand GCCX as being the same as that lowest common demonstrator trash.

>>2372642
This.
To be fair, Arino has shown his creative side on a few ocasions, such as the Yoiko Game Boy title (his original designs were so wacky they caused all sorts of problems for the developer in charge, Etsunobu Ebisu, from Goemon series).

His ideas for the DS/3DS games were usually well received and felt very unique.

I know this is very gray area for /vr/, but I wonder if Mario Maker will allow level sharing. It'd be interesting to give a shot at those levels created by the Kacho. (they'd probably throw a few made by Kibe, the resident Sega kid just for laughs)

>>2373162
>I wonder if Mario Maker will allow level sharing
If they want this thing to compete with SMW romhacks and SMBX it will have to. What would even be the point if they don't include level sharing?

>>2373142
From the beginning I've said it's essentially a Let's Play. It's a guy playing video games with commentary. In this instance its got the addition of a time limit. In nature it's a let's play with a time limit. There's no denying that as you've basically said the same thing yourself.

So timed Let's Play is not a Challenge because sometimes Arino gets extensions? If they guy gives himself an extension is it now a Challenge? What if he gives himself extensions too often or not often enough, does it go back to being a Let's Play or a timed Let's Play?

My argument has never changed. At its core it's a guy playing a video game while commentating and being recorded. Sure, it's modified by that fact that it has some sort of time limit but at its core it's a Let's Play.

Again you're trying to force your opinion to be an objective fact. You do not like Let's Plays therefore they are all shit and the lowest common denominator trash. I'm not trying to say that GCCX is trash and I've said that already. You're so vehemently opposed to accepting that GCCX is a Let's Play because you keep falling back to your circular logic. You like GCCX but not Let's Plays therefore it cannot be a Let's Play.

>>2373171
Holy shit, Specter, please kill this thread to shut these 'tards up.

>>2373174
the shit mods don't do fuck all it seems.

>>2373178
So the thread is about Game Center CX unless you don't like the discussion? Maybe you should go to reddit where you can downvote the things you don't like.

>>2373179
maybe you should do us all a favor and saw your own throat with your keyboard.

>>2373179
What discussion? There are two 13-year-olds arguing about Let's Plays for fuckssake. Gas this thread and try again when the mods are awake.

There comes a point where it's time to stop posting, and that point was miles ago.

Why does every /gccxg/ seem to have pointless drama? The other general on this board tend to do alright.

>>2373168
I wonder if romhack players will embrace Mario Maker. Imagine a Live Special similar to the Megaman 2 revenge, with users sending tips via Miiverse, but instead sharing their own levels with Arino.

Kazuki Akita, the SMB2 genius kid from Season 1 confirmed as AD.

>>2373171
What is a Let's Play if not watching someone else play videogames, fail at it, play some more, and talk about what they're doing while they do it?

>>2373171
You're still trying to categorize GCCX as a glorified Let's play due to your definitions. You're basically just trying to go with the whole 'it's Die Hard, but on a 'location'. No nuance at all.

Just because you're going by your definition, doesn't mean everyone else has to. Next you're going to tell me an eSport is an actual sport.

>>2373191
>Kazuki Akita, the SMB2 genius kid from Season 1 confirmed as AD.

That'd be an awesome episode/special.

Kazuki - "I'm married with kids now."

Arino - "Me too, but can you still do the triangle jump?"

Where to find the Spelunker episode? I'm dying to see that one.

>>2373239

By the way, Kakaricho, do you know how popular Tenchu is in Japan? Seeing Arino creating those stages in Mario Maker left me imagining him designing outrageous maps and making the staff play them.

Perhaps it isn't too unrealistic, as Season 19 already has two Playstation games.

>>2373260
Same as the castlevania episode
NEVER EVER

>>2373262

>do you know how popular Tenchu is in Japan?

No clue, sorry. I used to teach kids, but even they just liked beat-boxing videos when quizzed.

>>2373239
what exactly is the triangle jump?

>>2373298
Bouncing off a Koopa to land on a platform. Watch the episode.

>>2373262
Unlikely to see a repeat of that with such an obscure game (Tenchu isn't popular anywhere). Mario Maker event was kind of a perfect storm of popular nostalgic game + popular streamers + official Nintendo support.

>>2373227
Sport is in the title.
Or was that a joke?

Are Giant Bomb Quick Looks Let's Plays? Yeah, pretty much.

>>2373323
Look at people's reaction to ESPN2 airing some video game competition and you'll have your answer.

>>2373324

Nah, their purpose isn't to play through the game for entertainment, it's to give a quick look for people to see if they're worth buying. Endurance Runs are let's plays though.

Either way it's a dumb argument, as already pointed out long ago Kibe uses the equivalent Japanese term for a let's player when speaking of Arino, so people should sent their angry letters to him instead of getting mad about it here.

>>2373340
>Trusting Kibe
>A man who lived on a diet solely of Sega games
>Who recently gave birth to Another chin on his fatass face

The streamers themselves didn't refer to themselves as let's players, but streamers.

>>2373347
And don't forget how he royally fucked over Nakayama.

>>2366278
I wanted to know Miyamoto's full final comment, a shame for the stream glitch at that moment

>>2373162
It will have level sharing, hopefully Kacho's levels get uploaded

The Strider episode was suprisingly very fun. Are Flying Dragon and Saint Seiya episodes any good?

>>2373401
They're both pretty crappy games, Saint Seiya is especially terrible. I didn't enjoy them that much. I don't really like the kusoge episodes, I'm glad they're moving on to more consoles because at this point that's pretty much all that's left in the Famicom library barring Dragon Quest.

So what's with the "full coverage" episodes?
Were these episodes exclusive to only the DVD release or something? Is the actual TV show they broadcast generally just one of the 10min segments? But I've also noticed in the first season that some episodes are only 5min or some 15, why the large difference? Wouldn't this be hard to schedule for on TV with such varying times?

Most of them are employed by studios, hell everyone who's under Maker/Polaris are working for Disney

>>2373443
Season 1 vídeos aren't fully translated. TV-N probably took only the Challenges, which weren't the main segment back then.

>>2373941
ひどい

>>2373415
I find that highly doubtful that they've exhausted the NES library, thing had over 1000 games and while some genre's would be disqualified, or licensing issues, that doesn't mean there's still a large selection of non crap games out there to play.

>>2374214
They really need to have Arino play the later Adventure Island games.

Why haven't they gotten Arino to play Star Fox yet? Seems like an obvious choice.

>>2374248
Because the game is like 45 minutes long?

With PS1 becoming available I'm really hoping Arino will play King's Field.

>>2374378
Knowing how "good" Arino is at games it would probably take him longer. Also they'd probably want him to finish the hardest route.

Just watched DKC2
>Arino starts off pretty well and keeps bragging that he played this game obsessively

What does (c) mean in the pastebin
I want to watch the Shiren episode and the pastebin says SA (s) and D (c)
does it mean segment and complete? And if yes where can I find the Shiren episode?

>>2374408
Don't breathe life into this "discussion" now that it's dead. Please.

>>2374425
It says in the key at the top. (c) is challenge only. (s) is segments only. That's one of the Retro Game Master challenges on the licensed DVD.

Anyone wish they would just Fire Suda sometimes?

It sucks when Arino has to fail a challenge just because of ONE man.

Suda seriously needs to get a place in town, like the entire rest of the staff, or just be let go.

Why is he so special they all bend over, just to keep him happy?

>>2374421
>>2374408
please just go back to /v/ or /b/ or wherever it is you come from, and leave us in peace

Overtime in Japan goes from time and a quarter to time and a half after 10P.M., I'm pretty sure they're just keeping costs down.

http://otn.fujitv.co.jp/gamecenter/index.html

Almost time for next week's episode info. I hope it's not late again.

>>2374509
Nanairo Dreams! I knew that blurred box looked colorful.

>>2374486
then admit that.
And don't keep blaming it all on suda every time on the show.


also just me or is itou like worst AD.
SO BLAND

>>2374474
You really think that finishing the challenge is that much of an issue?

>>2374518
It's a joke. In a comedy program. Seriously, are you autistic?

>>2374406
You're a pile of shit. The game is fine. Absolutely no hand holding and good amount of puzzles. The only bad part is the camera speed and all the backtracking.

>>2374474
Or, y'know, maybe Arino should stop sucking shit and beat games quicker. He hasn't gotten any better since the day he started. Sure, it'd be no fun if he just flew through games but seeing him make the same mistakes over and over time and time again is boring.

>>2374476
Not him but grow up, 4chan is not supposed to be a hug box where everyone agrees with your views and anything you don't like is shoved away in a dark corner that you don't have to see it. It took me 20 minutes to find this picture but the left is what this thread should be, the right is what you want it to be. So clinch your anus and bear with it, the more you're exposed to this, the better off you'll be.


ANYWAYS, back on topic..

>>2374474
It's more so they have a reason to set a time limit on the challenge to create a sense of urgency. If Arino could just stay as long as he wanted to complete the game it would remove any tension since Arino could just keep playing until he beats it and he wouldn't have a last continue to create a miracle. Also Nakayama would have never had his hit song.

If they really need to force Arino's hand and need him to complete the game no matter what. They'll do that and find another way to get Suda home, see the Ghouls n' Ghosts episode where either Suda left and they kept filming or they got someone to drive him home.

>>2373124
it was so beautiful
Really, Arino was a perfect villain. I loved it. He took delight in watching others struggle against what he made, and it was beautiful.
His stage designs were mean and tricky and he clearly put a lot of thought into them.

Miyamoto wasn't wrong when he said they were "terrible", but Miyamoto is also looking for something very different.
speaking of Miyamoto, I loved how Arino kept calling him "Shigeru-chan" in particular

Arino was based as fuck, he just said and did whatever he felt like.

>>2374546
Kak, censorship

>>2374575
Arino always came off as the villain if you look at the live broad casts where he's competing against people. Like the Street Fighter II one where he taunts the little kid he beats. Granted that might be part of the show to make people happy that he gets his comeuppance in the end.

Heh...

>>2374380
I really can't see that being a good episode, anon.

Maybe it's just cuz self-fulfilled old dudes are awesome, but Miyamoto seems like such a friendly guy.

Also, I really liked this episode. Reminded me of some of the best Nintendo Channel shorts.

>>2374796
Better than megaman for the xth time

>>2374823
I just watch a bit of it, the game would be fucking awful because it's an RPG. Those games are a really bad fit for GCCX because there's no tension involved when Arino gets in a bind because it boils down to the RNG. Yes it's from From Software and that greatly implies your DS fag who wants Arino to play something like. It would be a shit Arino's Challenge.

Also megaman episodes are only mind numbing because Arino approaches the game like an autist. He finds a weapon that's effective against one boss and then uses it against everything even if it does only 1 point of damage.

>>2374867
I've only played the first one so I can't speak for the rest but it's about as much of an RPG as Castlevania is.

>>2374867

RNG has never been a problem for GCCX. After all he played that Shiren the Wanderer and that has far more RNG bullshit.

>>2374880
And that wasn't very fun to watch. I assume that's why they've played very few RPG's like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy: They don't make good TV.

>>2374214
I guess the question is then why are they wasting their time with kusoge? The game choices just baffle me.

>>2374913
Because "games" like Paris Dakar Rally Special and Super Monkey Daibouken are just obtuse enough to be hilarious, and it's something a lot of Japanese retro gamers can bond over, just like crappy NES games in the U.S.

>>2374880
They save scummed which made it dull as fuck.

>>2374896
Yep. As much as I love Kings Field that would be unbearably boring to watch, let alone play for Arino, I mean come on. That game is as slow as they come.

If any JRPG ever happens it will be DQ1, but even as much of a fan Arino is, even I know that would be a terrible episode. No tension, no way to create drama at all.

>>2374918
Paris Dakar Rally Special was hilarious

>>2374918
You're right, of course. I guess I was thinking more of Saint Seiya but even then it's akin to crappy licensed games in the States.

Looking forward to the eventual Biohazard challenge. You know it's coming.

>>2374896
Well DQ and FF are very grindy. On top of the fact that Arino states he spends a whole day grinding to prepare for the last boss.

Why is this thread always shit..

is there any way to watch the second attempt at pilotwings.
From what I can tell all that's subbed is the birthday stuff, but not the actual challenge

>>2374995
There are three different Pilotwings challenges; episode 98 (subbed), birthday live special (only highlights subbed, not the actual game challenge parts) and Pilotwings live challenge at Iwate, episode 143 (subbed).

I'm unsure what you have and haven't seen but that's what you gotta check if you want to see Pilotwings.

>>2374971
Because people like you meta post.

>>2375004
yea I know.
Thanks though.

What I am asking is no place to see the actual challenge for second attempt.

I know it was live deal.
But no highlight show like for lemmings?

I'll be away until Monday so someone else will have to make a new general in case this one hits the post limit before I come back.

Looking for mighty bomb jack the tv ep that went for 3 days. Where can I find it I only can find the live one

>>2375068
It's one of the Retro Game Master DVD exclusives (at least currently anyways).

>>2375016
Ah, okay. To my knowledge the birthday special is pretty much the only thing we have that shows parts of the 2nd challenge and it doesn't really go to into the game that much. Back when the challenge was fresh, there were recordings of the whole stream circulating around in SA, but I have no idea where to go looking for them now.

>>2375046
Because we most defiantly couldn't go even a single day without the circlejerk.

>>2375112
got ya.
Thanks man,

For now I shall just continue on to the iwate special.

I know everyone here seems so against him ever playing 64 games again.

But given his relation to the series.
What about pilotwings 64 challenge?

>>2375742
Not PW64 challenge yet, but I'd love to see him tackle the jetpack cave and cannonball missions. Game structure would help, too, since your progress is saved rather than gated by passwords.

Shadow Land was a great finisher to Season 5. I really loved the stripteases, dying just before reaching the general store, and how Arino barely finished on time. Cool to see Inoko MAX holding his own for this game; it looks pretty fun to play, maybe as an experimental arcade game more than something refined. The gambling here must have influenced Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, another game I'd like to see an episode for (Miracle World's been done already).

>>2375005
Who says "meta" anymore, lololol... dumbass

>>2375779
Adventure Island is challenged, the Bikkuriman one.

Man Arino's level design in Mario Maker was sweet. Them alternate paths man. Small bummer was Miyamoto looking like he wasn't all that interested.

>>2376139

>Small bummer was Miyamoto looking like he wasn't all that interested.

I don't think so. If Miyamoto wasn't interested, he wouldn't ask them to let him try more than the usual three lives. Sure, that would be because he was the only one who didn't manage to finish a challenge, but he still complimented Arino for the trampoline setup at the end of the stage upon seeing it.

>>2374870
Speaking of Castlevania, I'd kill for more episodes about it. Rondo of Blood, Bloodlines, Super Castlevania IV or even Symphony of the Night would make great episodes.

>>2376212
> yfw Symphony of the Night becomes a two-parter

Of all these titles, SOTN would be the least difficult. He'd probably grind his way to the final battle.

As long as it doesn't turn into another Castlevania 3 challenge, I'm fine with it, but that one was painful to watch, as Arino clearly didn't stand a chance.

>>2376174

Do they spend more money on his hair based on the fame of guest ?

>>2376212
Season 20 could be SotN alone.

>>2376226
He has that hairdo in some of the GCCX Channel episodes filmed a few weeks before that.

>>2376225
Arino playing SOTN would be great but I don't know how well it would transition to an episode. There's a lot to see so it'd likely be two episodes regardless of if he gets an extension or not.

>>2376225
The AD would probably tell him the shop glitch to get loads of money if he gets stuck

Would be a good episode too, Arino's reaction to the kill Richter ending being the bad ending and the AD stepping in to tell him

>>2376346
>>2376365
> Arino's reaction to the kill Richter ending being the bad ending and the AD stepping in to tell him

This!

Although it depends greatly on the Director's ability to make a good story out of the entire footage. Let's not forget how the OoT and SM64 had lots of potential but ended up terrible episodes because they solely focused on getting the ending.

If we get seasons 18 and 19 as reference, we should be fine. We got some memorable episodes out of Inoue, Takahashi and Watanabe's work.

I want Arino to play Gussun Paradise.

>>2370118
You're a fucking insult. Seriously, what a ridiculous, irrelevant complaint.

>>2376482
>OoT
>bad episode
I enjoyed it, comfy as fuck. I think maybe only the people who are intimately familiar with the game get upset when the little bits they consider their favorites aren't shown? The only thing that bugged me is how much Arino was looking forward to the archery segment and they wouldn't let him play it.

>people who would rather watch videogames than play them are mad people are insulting their e-celebs.

>>2377273
The episode hardly showed anything because there's so much worth showing and so little time. Not to mention Bongo Bongo took up a fair amount of time and the AD almost played a fourth of the game.

>>2377273
>> The only thing that bugged me is how much Arino was looking forward to the archery segment and they wouldn't let him play it.

Gee, I took a look at the challenge. It was actually directed by Inoue! Talk about improvement, Inoko MAX!

I do understand when you say it's comfy watching Arino play OoT, but the pacing was kinda wonky, taking their time with the first dungeon, then rushing the fuck out of the rest, even having Katayama skip a good portion of the Spirit Temple and the Gerudo Valley. archery segment..

In the end, that's probably why episodes with popular titles are problematic. People who know the games get upset if their favorite parts aren't shown.

And... did tjey intend to say something with this joke in the Tamage segment? I mean, with all those rumors about Kibe being gay or something.

I enjoyed ocarina.

But there are just better 64 games to play.

Good games for CX are ones that have a chanced to be beat in that 13 hour or so range.

Your not beating ocarina in 13 hours on first play through

i still liked the ep though

Is the Capcom quiz-game episode in Season 6 worthwhile? I really liked the first one in Season 4.

>>2378184
The quiz episodes are uniformly enjoyable. I especially liked the CRQ My Angel episode.

>>2374867
You're a whiny little shit.

>>2371018
wow...japanese let's players are just as fucking annoying as ours. also why is the quality shit? looks like a 240p youtube video

>>2378382
That's just you. Looked fine to me.

>>2378394

>>2378265
That was the worst of the quiz episodes because there was no staff help.

>>2378382
>japanese let's players are just as fucking annoying as ours.

Hey, anybody know why they both had face masks on? I know that's a common thing in Japan but I wasn't expecting TWO people to have em.

>>2378425
Minor celebs like nico streamers sometimes hide their faces for privacy.

>>2378313
Facts are facts, deal with the fact it would be a shit game for GCCX.

>>2378458
I don't give a fuck about it being a good or bad game for this show, I'm just saying you're a twat.

Fuck off.

I love all the old lady interactions in arcade/candy store trips.

>>2378727

>>2378729

>>2378727
Yeah, all the older couples running shops are really charming. It's pretty neat when some of those stores have been around for several generations.

>>2378382

The quality is bad because the event was only streamed on NicoNico, so stream captures is all we have.

>>2378703
*shrugs sheepishly*

>>2378425
supposedly 2ch is really bad about harassing/stalking people irl if they figure out their identity. i dunno if that's true or if it's just scaremongering but a lot of people who post videos on niconico seem to believe it.

>>2379049
Kill yourself.

>>2379054
*laughs out loud*

>>2379049
>supposedly 2ch is really bad about harassing/stalking people irl
Supposedly 4chan is an Internet hate machine but I've seen no evidence to support this statement.

I wonder if 2ch is as crazy and reactionary as this place can be.

>>2379074
yeah, like I said I don't know if it's actually true or if it's one of those rumors that gets passed around like "be careful what you post online or the 'Four Chans' will hack your internet and make your computer explode!!!!"

Why is this allowed?

>>2379195

Because it's all we had back then.

This is actually sort of appropriate since it's explaining a pun. "Metoroido wa . . . Omoroido?"

At least, I think it's a pun.

>>2371018
r9k advisory, it has a rare pepe in it.

>>2379195

>>2379195
Because criticizing TV-Nihon is okay here, but questioning some of SA's translation choices gets your post deleted.

For what purpose and what are they hiding?

>>2379256
Yes it is. It's normally omoshiroi

>>2379309

The former is a given because TV-Nihon is universally laughable by every standard, whereas the latter tends to bring out the "muh tsundere" "muh mad stacks" -autists and internet website warriors.

I think everyone recognizes that there are the occasional awkward translations and mistakes in SA's translations but the overall quality is solid enough to the point that they're the exception rather than the rule. With TV-Nihon mistranslations ARE the rule.

>>2379318
But mad stacks was a terrible choice. If you want to talk about Autism it would be people complaining about them using the localized names of games

Arino clearly saying 'Outer World' when the title says Out of this World.

>>2379318
To be fair, the name IS ゼビウス after all.

>>2379323
No, the worst is hearing Arino say doragon sureiya fo (I don't remember if he tried saying four or just spoke in Japanese) but then seeing "Legacy of the Wizard" pop up.

>>2379323
>>2379329
>PC Genjin on PC Engine
>Bonk's Adventure on TurboGrafx-16
It's even worse when they use an awkward made-up title for a game that was never released outside Japan.

>>2379329

That's the fault of the localizers giving it a retarded name though, it'd be a lot dumber to be inconsistent with localizing the title names and then people would complain about that instead. Plus they do also show the different names when introducing the game.

I mean Arino also clearly says "Dai Makaimura" and "Akumajou Densetsu" but it goes without saying they get translated as Ghouls 'n Ghosts and Castlevania, that's the same thing. Incidentally TV-Nihon's subs say Makaimura and Akumajou Dracula and it reads really awkwardly.

sup nerds
what super unimportant lame shit are you pissed off about today

>>2379325

SMB's name is also Suupaa Mario Borazaazo though. There's no defending Zebius since it has a localized and well-known name.

>>2379380
The irreversible colonization of my country and the subjugation of its people.

>>2379381
>Suupaa Mario Borazaazo
I don't know any Nipponese so perhaps this is a stupid question, but don't Japanese people find it weird that they have games made in Japan by Japanese people targeted primarily at Japanese audiences which have Japanized English names?

>>2379381
>Sumari
>TL note : Sumari = SUper MARIo

>>2379386
They think English words are cool.

>>2379386

A lot of Japanese games have English names and even text, there's more than one episode where Arino doesn't get the ending because it's in English. I think English just sounded "cool" and kind of exotic and it became a bit of a tradition.

If I'm not mistaken it's considered more of a style thing rather than a straight up translation thing.

>>2376174
>tfw next Mario game has a double trampoline setup

>>2379364
>>2379329
Got to agree there, if the game has an American game, you go with that. But you make sure to have the original name in the title as well like they did with Legacy of the Wizard.

I do take exception to SA taking liberties with shit like was stated above with Tsudere and ;mad stacks'. Or the misspelling of 'game over'. Arino might intentionally mispronounce it, but a good translation team will treat every episode like it's the first time someone is ever watching the series so they'd either just correct it to 'game over', or make a TN that it's Arino's shlick. A good example in show is how they bring up Abe's past as a delinquent whenever he's on camera, or just speaking.

It is damn annoying how SA has so many White Knights here and while some faggots (JD) have a vendetta and shouldn't be taken seriously, valid criticisms are lumped up with the nuts. Or worse, outright censored. Nothing is infallible.

>>2379386
It's exotic to them, it's why they have English phrases in a lot of their songs. It also happens in other languages as well. Like the France special where Arino is at the amusement park and you have someone singing 'I'm a black samurai'

>>2379396
>>2379403
I can understand the "foreign things are cool" thing, it just seems odd to make it such a significant part of games when English isn't that well spoken in Japan.

>>2379503
I'd be willing to bet who, among Nintendo's designers, would do that. They all have somewhat different philosophies regarding Mario games.

So far, every single Mario Maker level we've seen is pretty much Kaizo Mario material, and that that also includes Arino's.

>>2379648

If you legitimately use a term like "White Knights" then you already sound more like a nut than a valid criticizer. You complain about valid criticisms being lumped, but you yourself are lumping opposing opinions under that dumb term.

While I agree the mod gets a bit delete-happy sometimes, the vast majority of things people complain about come down to personal opinions (x should've been translated as y, hardsubs should've been softsubs, etc.) and because most people honestly don't care enough to complain about a few mishaps here and there, this being 4chan people who oppose the majority opinion tend to do so with hyperbole and shitposting.

What I'm trying to say here is that for most people hot-and-cold is fine, gamey obera (or whatever it was) is fine, and mad stacks is fine. What you perceive as "White Knights for SA" who defend these things are in reality just the majority of people who for the most part probably have nothing to do with SA at all, they just don't agree with your complaints because they're largely fine with the translations and making a fuss over some random lines or translation choices amongst over a hundred translated episodes is not worth it.

>>2379690
That's because the designers are in competition with the player. The mindset is to make the level beatable and not resort to outright kaizo bullshit, but still have the player die repetitively through the level either through well placed traps.

Actual game design doesn't do that because you don't want to frustrate the player with artificial difficulty.

>>2379709
All I see here is you want me to keep my mouth shut and I'm just as bad as everyone else because I use the term White Knight. And you wrap yourself in platitudes in the process.

At best, you're basically a frog in water that's being heated up.''This is fine', 'That is fine'. which will give them license to get away with worst stuff in the future. At worst, you're just lying about your affiliation because if people aren't connected with SA, they wouldn't care enough to defend it and would just ignore it. The fact you have to speak up shows you have a horse in the race and contradicts what you just wrote.

>>2379726

I'm not sure what exactly "your" motive is ("you" in this case standing for "people that have complaints about the SA subs and post them in these threads") in posting these grievances here. There is a nigh-nil chance that posting your complaints here will lead to them getting picked up by the team. I know this because it's pretty clear things haven't changed, and people have been posting their complaints here for quite some time now.

So if that doesn't actually do anything, wouldn't the next logical step being actually getting in direct contact with the main team members? I'm pretty sure the SA team has a public e-mail address (think it was posted in an earlier thread not too long ago?) that you could use to air your grievances, and that way you might actually be more successful in changing things.

Personally, I'm alright with the mistakes the goon squad makes on a "at least they're not TV-N, and there's nobody else doing it, so we're kind of stuck with them" level, but by no means would I want to discourage other people from making their grievances heard. I just figure that it's pretty clear the posts here aren't changing anything, so it would probably be smarter to take things to the next level.

I would prefer it if they went with soft subs, and I would prefer it if they put more effort into finding better raws, but I'm not invested enough to go complaining to them. But you seem invested enough for that, so go to the source. They seem receptive enough to criticism.

>>2379726

>At best, you're basically a frog in water that's being heated up.''This is fine', 'That is fine'. which will give them license to get away with worst stuff in the future

First of all, you're again making the mistake of thinking your opinions and criticisms are facts that other people just aren't seeing. "A frog in water" is an entirely inapplicable comparison because it pretends that the problem is an obvious, undeniable fact whereas in reality the existence of the water is only something you claim because YOU think there's a big problem that needs to be solved. Other people disagreeing with you doesn't mean they don't see the problem and you do, it means that what you personally consider a problem is not a problem for them in the first place. And for that reason YOU perceiving that things will "get worse" doesn't mean they will because most people don't think things are bad in the first place.

Second of all we could all scream blood in unison here and it wouldn't make any difference because the translators don't follow this board so what we consider fine or not is not going to change their approach.

>>2379793
Complaints here are just for the public record,

it's not worth posting on SA because. A. it's behind a pay wall, and B its a notorious hugbox that has even worse and more schizophrenic moderation than here at best, and at worst, it's ultra authoritarian where they'll ban you for posting a viewpoint the mod disagrees with. I've written to them in regards to the problems, but of course it's ignored because they're the only group that does subs now. Which boils down to your comment about the lesser of two evils. I'd prefer that just because it's better than TV-N, and they're the only ones subbing, that it doesn't mean they still can't aim for better quality.


>>2379794
I'm making logical conclusions based off your post. Or do you deny saying that their liberties are not 'fine'? and that 'majority of people who for the most part probably have nothing to do with SA' yet people (You) feel the need to defend their choices rather than just ignoring posts critical of the liberties they take? people are willing to tolerate a lot of stuff because there's no other recourse, if TV-N translated every episode, would you defend them because they'd be in the same position as SA?

You then go back to your point of 'it doesn't matter so why bother?' It's a matter of principle to have the criticism out there to get people thinking, that's one of the good things about 4chan. To have dissenting view points when it's silenced everywhere else.

Sometimes I wish you people would shut the fuck up and discuss the episodes rather than shit up the thread with your whining. I'm not the only one who's tired of these threads being ruined by people who belong on reddit.

>>2379831

Well, carry on, I guess. Just don't be surprised when it draws hostility because time has already shown that having the complaints here doesn't really change anything because of the aforementioned hugbox problems and as such people get fed up with it rather fast.

>>2379846

It would help if the goon squad didn't stow up and then splurge their episodes so we have a week of new episodes to discuss and then months of nothing, which inevitably leads to these complaint interludes.

>>2379851
>which inevitably leads to these complaint interludes.
This is what I'm saying. People who complain about petty shit like this are an eyesore and belong on reddit. We don't need you here to complain.

>>2379851
I'll just call them out on their inconstancy and the fact they want a hugbox when 4chan is designed to be the antithesis of one. You just gotta fight the good fight while sticking true to taste and principles.

>>2379846
Well you could also reply to posts in the threads that are talking about a topic that you're agreeing with or god forbid, start your own topic on the show. But nope, you choose to whine about people debating the merits of being critical about the style of subbing and drag the discourse of the thread down. Nice job their buddy.

>>2379859
The irony that you want other people to go to reddit when you're calling for a hugbox is so thick, I can cut with a knife.

>>2379865
>The irony that you want other people to go to reddit when you're calling for a hugbox is so thick, I can cut with a knife.
>hugbox
Is this a reddit term? I want an entertaining thread without having to read through garbage. You realize posting paragraph after paragraph of shit nobody cares about discourages posting in here right? The fun threads about this show are dead because of your bullshit. Fuck right off.

>>2379889
>Is this a reddit term?
I'm chortling at your newfag ignorance.

Regardless, your hostility and ignorance is what drives people off more than any posts regarding subbing ever will. Your shitposting grieves me as much as it shames you.


Again, why don't you start a new topic about the show to steer the course of the thread into a different direction if you're unhappy with how things are rather than shitposting?

>>2379907
Thanks for ruining the board. Keep going.

>>2379846
What's there to discuss? Mario Maker just came out and already people are starting to get done talking about that.

If you want to blame something for the lack of discussion blame how the episodes get released. A handful all at once instead of one X weeks or something like that.
