The subs look about the same as the fanrips but the announcer being dubbed and constantly coming over the production music with bad mixing is grating.

>>5708128

His voice is awful. A narrator needs a deep voice, and to treat the action seriously.

Is the Binary Land episode up? I usually watch this shit on archive.org (the torrents have no fucking seeders) and that's one that they don't have

>>5708128
This. The retrogame master narrator needs to be subbed too. Just keep the jap audio as is

>>5707982
are these the same episodes / dubs released as RGM on DVD in the states? I can't remember looking at which episodes after watching so many

>>5708225

Yep. They have the license to distribute the RGM DVD via streaming services now. This is 100% legal and not just a user upload btw.

>>5707982
I want to like this, but my god the narrator is awful. Why couldn't they just subtitle the narration? Or at least get someone with a more appropriate voice?

>>5708174
All this is is the horrible dubs from the DVD of the handful episodes that were up on Kotaku a decade ago. I don't know why this guy is shilling it constantly all of a sudden just because it's on YouTube. These aren't new episodes or anything. He didn't even put GCCX in the OP. How does he expect people to find the thread?

>He didn't even put GCCX in the OP. How does he expect people to find the thread?

Uh, we should not be using obscure Japanese only terms to describe the show. GCCX is not a term that the average American is going to be familliar with. To produce the least amount of confusion, we should use Retro Game Master. This is localization 101.

This show is so hard to love. Base show is great, but as an American finding the subs has gotten insanely hard unless you torrent stuff and I don't. Used to just be able to find them uploaded to Daily Motion or whatever then the show got too popular and the copyright claims started. I missed it for several years and now I see it's back but wtf, why is there an English dub over the narrator? Why is it so hard to just keep the fan translated episodes and keep the audio 100% original?

Why rip the track with the horrible american announcer?
Once I get my chinese replacement cables for my old DVD drive, and if it still works, i'll rip the DVD myself.

>>5708545
>hard to love
>because you're a retard who needs streams
Unbased and cringemerican pilled

>>5708573
I need subtitles, doesn't have to be a stream. I have several downloaded until they got deleted.

These two torrents in the pastebin have the Binary Land sub.

Very funny. How about Arino? Should it be Areeno like the terrible dub says? Apparently that's easier for Americans to pronounce.

>>5708545

See >>5708464
The uploaders used the bad dub track instead of the perfectly good Japanese narration/subs which are also on the DVD.

Reminder to get in early on the one true crypto currency of the future.
Sharing this only with weeb boards because normans deserve to be no-coiner peasants.

You probably already missed the Bitcoin gravy train, so you don't want to miss this one.
Pi Coin fixes the fundamental flaw of Bitcoin and other meme coins (computation power) by making mining based on user activity (daily check in), so this runs on your phone with almost no power impact. There are already more real people on Pi Coin than there has ever been on all other coins combined.

Pi Coin was developed by Stanford PhDs and instructors who simplified crypto into a user friendly app that will be the first true mass adopted crypto.
https://hci.stanford.edu/nicolas/
https://cbr.stanford.edu/

Mining rates are high right now but will be halved very soon when user adoption spikes.

Currently Pi Coin is invite only, so an invitation code is required to sign up, feel free to use mine:

Using this code is special and will also help Arino make friends.

>tfw say that, got the cable the day afterwards and it doesn't work
t-thanks chinks

Is this just the Kotaku release of the show that cut out all of the non-game segments like the arcade trips and such? Because that is fucking gay.

>>5707982
did anyone ever paste the subs onto the undubbed episodes?

>Thinking than anyone than hardcore weeb nerds will ever care about some obscure Japanese let's play show and trying to dub it in english for an alleged casual audience that will never exist

This is beyond retarded.

Why can't someone like Netflix just buy the rights of the show and stream it with some decent english subs slapped on it? They do that with that shitty Japanese Style Originator 50+ minutes-per-episode borefest but they can't do the same with GCCX? There's some niche pontential to be tapped here.

Ninja Gaiden for sure, that one ep made me get into GCCX.

I couldn't find the general anywhere, now I know why.

>>5707982
Fucking hell this really is the SOULLESS to GCGX's SOUL, what the fuck were they thinking? I'll stick to the fansubs.

>>5708584
Well it took like 5 hours to torrent it at 50kb/s with 2 seeders but I finally did it. Great episode so far.

>>5707982
fuck off

>Super Ninja-Kun

Woah, never heard of this game.

>>5710487
They played another Ninja-kun game about 4 years ago. I figured they'd get to Super Ninja-kun eventually, so I guess next week is it.

I really thought they might do The Ninja Warriors Again since that has a revamped game coming soon like Wild Guns got, but that will have to wait.

>>5707982
>le funny emojis xd
>dubbed
No. Just No.

/me bites you then pads off to pirate more GAME CENTER CX episodes
nyan nyan!

any of you guys remember that one ep when Sasano comes back to help Arino? I think it was the Ghosts and Ghouls ep, but I can't remember.

>I've been secretly training
>You say secretly but it's not like we talk much
I only remember that part.

>>5709093
Because this isn't your average fictional show where all the content is owned by the license holder of the show, it's a show built around featuring other companies' licensed material. Every single episode needs to be negotiated wither whoever owns the rights to the game featured, you can't just contact TV Fuji and buy the license to a couple seasons just like that.

A ton of the episodes don't even get reruns in Japan yet because TV Fuji weren't able to renegotiate the rights to the games featured.

S06E04 Gargoyle's Quest 2 / Action adventure / Sasano returns

>>5711580
It sucks to say but this is show literally made for pirating, or 'circulating the tapes' to use the MST3K verbiage. There's literally no way on earth to get all involved parties and license holders to see eye-to-eye on an unaltered release, fans of the show are not only the best hope but really the only hope.

>>5713290
thanks dude

Embarrassing dubs is like something out of the 90s. Who the hell localizes like that anymore?

>>5713310
I know this is alien for you weebs but people like dubs even if they're low quality.

>>5713316
no they don't

>>5713316
>you weebs
Who do you think you're kidding?

>>5713316
Only people in brainlet countries watches dubs after they're old enough to read. Civilized countries never even dub shit that's intended for audiences over the age of 8.

Holy shit, the Klonoa challenge is terrible. They literally haven’t shown a single puzzle, it’s just a boss montage with Arino’s bored reactions to sprinkled in between each battle. There’s even a point when shit’s gets all dramatic, Kan tells the audience that Arino has been struggling with some late-game stage for over two hours, yet they don’t anything of it. What a waste.

In general, the editing on Seasons 20 onwards is pretty bad:

>Arino starts the level
>Show some random gameplay clip or two of Arino progressing through said level or skip that altogether and just show the stage cleared animation
>Boss montage

The earlier seasons were so much better at showcasing the games.

>>5713301
>this show is made for pirating
This! There's no way a good international version can be made (though the people at Discotek sure tried), and even the Japanese DVDs are butchered. Everyone damn well knows it that the broadcast versions are the only viable thing for non Japanese audiences.
>western girl is involved with fan translation
>she always sends rad fan art in episodes with fan interaction
>gets invited to do official art for GCCX products and shit

>>5713717

I guess the show's editor just thinks the bosses matter the most. Real shame.

>>5713717
Sounds like the Kirby 64 episode.

>>5713340
I unironically love these dubs, I think they nailed it.

>>5715290
They're terrible. People were making fun of these dubs ten years ago, and they still are.

>>5715301
They're the ones that think Abe is pronounced "Ayb", right?

>>5715301
They're fine, I think they did an admirable job. There will never be any more, so I'm glad they exist. I'm happy to have them as a supplement to the fan work.

>>5715331
Right, they hired someone who was cheap, and he didn't know how to pronounce anything. They didn't even give him a proper audio track. They just turned down Kan's volume and told him to talk loud. You can still hear Kan's quieted voice underneath the dub. They cut every possible corner, and they should not get a pat on the back for it.

>>5715386
>They just turned down Kan's volume and told him to talk loud. You can still hear Kan's quieted voice underneath the dub.
This is fairly common in dubbed documentaries.

this is retarded

It's shit.

>>5713717
The problem is that old games were based around having not much content, but it was all rock hard. So you could very easily make an hour long show out of a game that only clocked in at an hour or two in a casual playthrough if you didn't die.

With the well mostly tapped, moving onto to PS1 games doesn't actually work, because most of these games were designed to be 5+ hours. It's the same reason RPG challenges were always garbage, because there just isn't enough time to explain the story.

The show just fundamentally doesn't work when you move outside of arcade ports. The best you can do is weird game-based challenges like the yoiko 生活 shit.

GTA3 when

>>5717258
>It's the same reason RPG challenges were always garbage
Dragon Quest was good. But that was also a very short game they stretched over 2 episodes.

>>5708492
>GCCX is not a term that the average American is going to be familliar with
Who cares what the average American thinks?

>>5717258
Instead of doing 5th gen games, they should’ve gone in a different direction and started doing actual arcade game challenges.

>>5718603
I'm pretty sure he was being facetious.
