True Love

>>3388132
but I already have that. Just want to date anime girls while still micromanaging a ton of stats. Real life is way too simple for that

Sweet, been waiting for a new eceleb general to pop up.

Whats people's thoughts on Joe and Mac for snes?

James and Mike were confused as to who gets the kiss, I think I figured out that it was the person that got the most hits on the boss, represented by the x's under the players health.

Also, video ended unexpectedly, at a continue screen, but I suspect that the game only has limited continues.

>>3388218
>calling Arino and Gamecenter CX e-celeb

Great, great bait my friend. Got a hearty laugh outta that.

>>3388145
There's also Pia Carrot, Afterschool Romance Club and May Club but that's pretty much as far as English translated dating sims go. Maybe Bloody Bride.
In Japanese you should probably start with the later Tokimemo ports.

>the GCCX thread finally is reborn

YATTA!

waiting on new episode translations, more specifically, Super Godzilla

>>3388882
Is there something more comfy than these "You should visit this place" segments?

>>3388959
No, there isn't anything more comfy. That's as comfy as it will get.

I think they'll tell us what 224 is pretty shortly.

>>3388434
Well, if you don't mind dating boys, the Girls Side Tokimeki games are translated...

>>3389132
Vazolder!

Please, if we're really going to have this thread again, empty all your posts of self-importance and let us act like the dumb light hearted fans we like to be.

who is best staff member and why is it Abe?

there is a recent episode (unsubbed) where he does some muscle game at an arcade, wins, and poses for the camera, wish i could find a gif/pic of it.

>>3389396
It's always been Abe.

Where do new ADs come from?
I used to think they were picked up for new seasons and that they'd be new to the program. But in many segments they speak of past events as if they were there (even though in their introduction moment, Arino acts as if it's the first time they meet).

For example, when they did the quiz corner asking Arino about stuff about the show, past episodes, etc, Emoto talks about the first season as if he was there, despite being an AD for less than half a season.

Are they just part of the staff, and they "pretend" to be new employees when they become ADs?

>>3390248
They're not necessarily new to the company and they're sometimes promoted to "appearing on-screen ADs". Arino greets them on camera to present them to the audience.

Who's the best AD?

I'm really torn between Toujima, Emoto and Cardigan

>>3390319
Nakayama was on of the crappier AD's but he's my fave.

>>3388145
Although it only satisfies your second requirement maybe try Princess Maker 2. It's a daughteru raising game, but she's your adopted daughter. So if you do go for the ending where she marries you,

IT'S NOT

CREEPY

>>3390319
Toujima, no question. Anytime he comes back he and Arino have a chemistry more like equal partners than boss/employee. He's like the Nightwing to Arino's Batman.

>>3390319
My favorite is Toujima.

>That episode where Toujima and Arino are in the import games shop laughing at western games

Wish I could remember which one it was specifically but holy fuck it was funny as shit. Toujima just always comes off as a bro and somehow a colleague at the same time.

I'm about to get back into watching GCCX. I know people get tired of answering what are the best episodes and that I should watch it chronologically which I'm going to. But, I'd like to ask what episodes are the worst if there are any? Princess Tomato seems really notorious.

>>3391904
Also, I made the mistake a few years ago of randomly jumping around in the series watching the games I wanted to see the most and can't remember what I have and haven't watched and so I want to kill myself.

Why has translation slowed down so much?

I checked the website for like the second time this year and there's less than one page worth of updates.

>>3391997
The girl who does the translations is doing work for gascoin so she has slowed down a lot. I think the timer has been busy also which really leaves no one else as they had someone to check her work an no other timers.

IT'S ALMOST THERE
Also, in response to OP, I'd reccomend the Sakura Taisen games. It's half dating sim, half strategy RPG.

>>3390334
I liked all of them to be frank they all had a different style of humor that they have brought to the table. But if I had to I would pick Toujima, Inoue and Watanabe. I don't know why but the way Arino interacts with Inoue and Wantanabe is very funny to me.

>>3390334
Is that Nakayama? What episode is that from?

>>3391904
metroid is kinda bad, I mean the novelty is nice the first time, but the episode has no replay value.

it suffers from horrible editing, there is some bit of exploration, then boss fight, boss fight, mother brain. it just skips into the 3 main boss fights with basically little to nothing in between


a few other episodes suffer from the condition of only having time for boss fights, for instance, Zelda Link to the Past has this problem, and honestly could have benefited from being a 2 parter

Aside from Princess Tomato, does Arino play any other adventure / mystery games?

>>3390334

Crappier in what sense?

He's my fave too.

When is that DVD exclusive Biohazard challenge coming out?

>>3396047
It came out a long time ago. Some anon even bought the thing and ripped it. Check the archives for the download link. Sadly, it has not been subbed yet and I doubt it will ever be, at least not by the SA team.

>>3396162
Oh, well shit, thanks anyway.

>>3396014

His shyness means that, most of the time, jokes made by Arino or others fall flat, because he shows no reaction to them. He's also generally awkward to be around.

The only interactions I did enjoy were the ones with Abe. When they went shopping for seafood it was so funny, Abe talking about prices with the clerks, then turning to Nakayama and going "Oi, pay up"
A hardened rebel and a loser, it was the perfect duo

Why are the ninja gaiden episodes cursed?

I was really looking forward to the first one, but when I opened it I found out it was copyrighted by Shitaku, so it has the horrible english narration.

Then I kept watching episodes chronologically, and I was pleasantly surprised when the "1980" segment said "Arino will be playing Ninja Gaiden 2 next"
So I finish the episode, I go to the next one...and apparently, the highest resolution available for it is 144p, even in the megatorrent.

I just wanted to enjoy ninja gaiden properly.
The game is so hard that it makes even watching someone play it an ordeal.

>>3396897
Either buy the Retro Game Master DVD or look for a torrent of it. All the Ninja Gaiden episodes are on it and you can set the narration to Japanese.

>>3395734
ALTTP has an extended edition on the DVD

>>3396013
A lot, http://www.sa-gccx.com/episode-guide horror and adventure selections

>>3396013
He plays one about once or twice a year. He's about due for another one.

>>3397640
>This episode guide is kept as up to date and as accurate as possible.
>more than a whole season behind
Will they ever fix it?

>go to nyaa
>search "gccx"
>Mansion of Hidden Souls

I really wish the SA team would sub the DVD episodes. I really want to see him beat Castlevania I

thanks for the dead link

>>3388129
Why didn't we get all those adventure/detective games on the NES? Was the average Western player deemed too stupid?

>>3396013
He does, and those are some of the best episodes, IMHO. Night of The Sickle Weasel, those two detective games, or the one where you play a food critic.

>>3398717
Time and money.

It's far quicker and more lucrative to translate SCORE LIVES CONTINUE GAME OVER than an entire script.

what episode was this?

>>3399108
24-hr Lemmings compilation. Abe also barges into Nakayama's home, which is great too.

Probably the best thread to ask this.
What happened to /gccxg/?
Did the mods exile the general completely?

>>3399830
Or maybe people temporarily lost interest. Those who wanted to catch up with the series have already done so. We need to wait until a big batch of subbed episodes is released.

>>3399837
Is that really necessary? I thought most people on this board understood Japanese.

>>3399838
>I thought most people on this board understood Japanese.
I somehow doubt that, senpai. The (now archived) older GCCX generals comprised largely of questions about new subbed releases.

>>3399840
Because the minority that don't speak it are loud and entitled.

>>3399847
So how exactly did you come to the conclusion that most people who frequent /vr/ speak Japanese?

>>3399848
Various threads across the board. People either learned the language, are Japanese themselves or have no interest in Japanese media.
