That's the room they use for his challenges. It's usually a meeting room. They probably use that model when gaming just for the hell of it.

Also, I'm gonna answer my own question and guess that it's Dragon Quest IV.



No, it's more brown.

We've seen the challenge room dressed up a few different ways but the one at this location seems to be mainly used as a conference room when they're not shooting. At the previous office they used it as a break room of some kind (or at least they had a some nice looking couches set up in there).

Ghost 'n Goblins looks close but why would they have it in the Famicom? I suppose they could be doing a Capcom Game Makers disk but I think it's more likely that some AD was "location scouting" and in that case it's definitely not GnG. Some late era Namco games had a triangle in that corner of the label but I can't find one that matches...

I suppose if you were going to tweet about Watanabe you would have to mention something about cake or what have you. Can't tell if that's intentional or not.

As for the cart I have no idea. All three guesses so far seem plausible when I look at it long enough.

True...but I can't tell if the tweet is meant to subtly poke fun of her because of her weight. Maybe that's completely ridiculous of me to think.

Yeaah...I'm probably just being stupid.



I imagine if this was on the show and Arino was there he might make a wise crack though. If only because he always does.

Err...gee, now I just feel like a horrible person for thinking that.

Ghosts'n Goblins seems right. And I've mentioned this before, but Gascoin Company LOVES posting photos of staff birthday celebrations and birthday cakes. Watanabe isn't an exception.

I got a 3DS Swapnote from Nakayama requesting Animal Crossing: New Leaf tips since it's his first time playing an AC game (seems he sent it to everyone on his friends list). I haven't touched AC since I played it on Gamecube at a friend's place. Anything I should say?

You forgot to give Nook curly hair and a big gaijin nose.

And relayed to the topic, I started playing the GC version again this summer, and realized I hadn't played the game since 2005. All the people in my old town were complaining that they hadn't seen me in 115 months and weeds were EVERYWHERE. It was kind of sad, really. Especially considering how OCD I was about the vegetation.

It's less sad when you actually play Animal Crossing because the game has a Mom who sends you presents anyway and they probably thought those were from their mother. But it's still sweet that they got that impression.

Regardless, it's not like she died suddenly and filled with regret that her son didn't acknowledge all of her videogame gifts.
It says she got worse and eventually stopped playing, then goes on to say she died a year ago. I'm sure animal crossing presents weren't keeping her awake at night at that point, nor were they the only sign of love or appreciation from the son.
