He could make his own mini-arcade, I'm thinking. Get a few of toy pinball games (http://www.amazon.com/Schylling-Home-Run-Pinball-Toy/dp/B000OO0I54/), a mini-claw game (http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Cubes-4093-Electronic-Claw/dp/B000KS52D2/), and either a plug 'n' play arcade game (http://www.amazon.com/Jakks-Namco-Arcade-Classics-Plug-Games/dp/B00009VDXX/) or an computer running MAME (with handpicked games) and a old-school joystick (http://www.amazon.com/Speedlink-Sports-Tournament-Competition-Joystick/dp/B00DW5F4VU/).

What you probably really need is some sort of miniature PA system so you can play Kan. That belongs to the real GCCX experience. Otherwise, I think you've pretty much got the main points nailed.

Most of the arcades have closed around here, the only one that we could get to and back in a reasonable amount of time is located at one of the busiest malls in the country, so it would be a big hassle. Time to lament the death of the local arcade some more...

Genius idea. That's the one thing I wish I could do for myself, but I just don't have the time to do something like that anymore.

Are you going to play the role of Abe? The only piece that's missing that I can think of would be to have audio tracks that play during gameplay. "Go Under", laughter, applause, sighs, and other reaction audio that you would play at the right time.

Indeed. I'll probably being doing the roles of Kibe, Abe and Suda all in one. I think having the AD's over will provide some natural reactions, but maybe I could pull some clips of Arino for extra support!

This might be overboard, but it would be memorable: it is possible to rent amusement devices the day. You might be able to find a place that can get you an arcade machine or a crane game, put it in the garage (or some other suitable place), and then have a surprise arcade trip. I don't know if you can rent an arcade manager, though.

DVD-Box 11 will be released on December 19th, and the Akihabara event will be on the 20th.

The game he challenged was Battletoads, no idea yet what the conditions were. The report on it will be broadcast in October.

Also, ADs Itou and Egawa are apparently leaving the show quitting Gascoin Company.

Kotaku's episodes used the DVD versions of the challenges, so they're a little modified.

Speaking of the DVD versions, I'm attempting to reconstruct the Super Fantasy Zone episode from the DVD and segments video. I figure the game corner goes after the bit where the AD shows him how to play with retro music (the Prince appears and everything) and the discussion of the challenge game goes at the end, but where should Ring Ring Tactics and Xevious Observation go?

You can find online streaming of the RAW fairly easily if you google with this "ゲームセンターCX #59". I don't want to link it because :filez:
