Naturally I'm pulling the Mighty Bomb Jack Live episode.

I'm going to ask that everyone who has our season six torrent please remove the old one and use this new one that doesn't include Mighty Bomb Jack:

It targets the same directory so you should be able to just download the new torrent file, add it to your library, and be good to go.

It's so weird to think of an episode being pulled as a positive thing now, as opposed to the lurching aggression of Kotaku's seemingly-random consuming of goonsubs already completed.

I wish they'd hurry up and get preorders for this up on Amazon so I can officially commit to throwing all of the money at it.

I think it's actually from this video, which shows that one comedian's counting game. I think Zari-Gani linked this before the Samurai Zombie Nation episode, because Arino references it when the level numbers are displayed. Yon ju, EYYYYY!

I had heard of the show, but only caught the kotaku ones last summer. I enjoyed them, but didn't give the show a second thought until I joined the boards and saw this thread. Started watching them (approximately) in order, and I've become a big fan. I love the "sometime you should visit this game center" segment.

Anyway, as a latecomer, I'd just like to offer a tip of the hat :wotwot: in gratitude for the translation work.

Can anyone remember in what episode Arino and the gang went to a used games store to pawn off all the games featured in that season? I need to see it again.

That'd be the Kid Icarus episode, the last one in season 4.

Thank you so much! Like Quest of Ki, Spelunker, and Last Continue, it's a huge earworm, but singing the "10 miles, 8 miles" part only kinda sucked. Now on to learning 53 Stations, Last continue, and Kachou Fighter.

There's one of those Sunsoft soundtrack CD's that has 53 Stations sung in English in a really slow way. Very odd but that's the official lyrics and presumably the CD would have the lyric sheet.

I know the first half of the song by ear. Note that this is from not looking at the lyrics sheet.

A-to Edo made nan ju li!
A-to Edo made nan ju li!
Jyu li! Hachi li!
...

The second half is sung so fast that the lyrics are so hard to figure out.

The lyrics in romaji are:

Ato Edo made nan jyuu-li?
Jyuu-li! Hachi-li!
Mattete okure yo Momo-chan.
Oira no omiyagewa hanabi da.
Edo wa mada mada mada mada tooi no ka?

Ato Edo made nan jyuu-li?
Ato Edo made nan jyuu-li?
Jyuu-li! Hachi-li!
Gouzaemon niwa makenaizo.
Kanshaku-dama de tsukisusume.
Edo wa mada mada mada mada tooi no ka?


The second verse was found in the Sunsoft mix CD version. It goes "Don't lose to Gouzaemon. Go forth with the firecracker balls."
ETA: vvvvv That's the stuff!

Thanks for pointing out Kid Icarus for me as the episode with the pawn shop but watching the episode again I realized what I was really looking for: the episode where they go to the same shop before. I think it's a TV Nihon subtitled episode and since there aren't too many of those I'll just look them over to find what I'm looking for.

And looking through, I did find it! It's Metroid, Season 2, episode 5. Reason I looked for it was the tamage segment where Arino and the gang buy and look through those surprise goodie bags. I remember it making me :3: all over seeing it for the first time.

Furthermore! A new segment begins!
The year is 2062...
Several unknown game cartridges were recovered from the ruins of Fuji TV...
And so, Arino (age 90) -- the man who knows everything about the Famicom -- will tell us about all about them.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
I hope they just buy some sort of fake wrinkles and then head to the drugstore and buy some of that cheap hair color that comes in cans and just spray him indiscriminately until the can is empty.

It's got some tough bosses and a weird continue system so it should make for at the very least a decent episode.

For those unfamiliar with the wonderful game Arino's staring down this time, turn your attention to this new speedrun of the game. It comes with built-in commentary on audio track 2, so you can get an in-depth look at what's in store for our chief.

Hint: Magic. It will be magical.

I'm gonna say Arino dies at least a few times from getting the Zzzz head that makes you fall asleep on the spot.

They ramped up the difficulty in the North American/European version of Headdy, the Japanese version is a cakewalk in comparison.

I was under the impression you could cancel that. Not like the Miss Head which is only there to waste time and cut your HP in half.

I am a huge fan of Game Center CX now and cannot believe how awesome of a translation job you guys have done without being paid for it.

Personally, I'd really like to see the two Shiren the Wanderer (92 & 93) episodes translated. I want to see Arino play a different type of game. The Fire Emblem episode from the Nintendo channel would also be cool.

Oh wow, I thought it was just cosmetic changes but I looked it up and you're right. The episode will probably be a lot less interesting for it.

Once they do Ninja Gaiden 3 (assuming they eventually do), the Ninja Gaiden game for the Master System would be a pretty neat challenge to see at some point in the future. Would give Kibe a chance to get his Sega Nerd on ("the Master System was so popular in Europe and Australia that it got its own Ninja Gaiden game developed by Sega themselves!") and would be a good chance to showcase a relatively obscure game in a popular franchise.

Only issue is the whole "only released in PAL territories" thing (though I think region locking in the Master System is mostly down to physical cartridge casing differences, so it might be okay?) and the game being in English meaning we wouldn't get the dramatic reading of the Tecmo Theater scenes.

zari-gani has said those episodes are towards the bottom of the queue. The challenge is pretty boring, apparently.

Yeah, she said that a lot of the Japanese fans felt it was one of the worst/most boring GCCX episodes thus far. I watched it and liked it, but I'm a fan (and terrible player of) roguelikes, so I have a little bit of a bias. :shobon:

So, this season is premiering episodes bimonthly? Tonight is a reairing of last week's episode. I just wanted to make sure people understood that tonight episode 137 (Super Chinese) is airing, and that next week episode 138 (Dynamite Headdy) will air.

Further evidence in on the Fuji CS webpage:

quote:

04/19(木) 24:00~25:00 #137
04/26(木) 24:00~25:00 #138
05/03(木) 24:00~25:00 #138

Since 137 has already made the rounds in the usual places, I won't be streaming it live tonight. I'll see you guys next week!
