I just got word on the next translation that's wrapping up from Nagoyan. I don't think anyone has requested this episode but it's one that is going to blow your minds. It ranks up there among the craziest episodes and from the game you wouldn't expect to be a crazy episode...

Yeah, it's taken me way longer than it should have to finish the timing and typesetting on this, but I'm almost done and I mean it this time. If I don't have it finished by the end of this weekend, I will submit to whatever manner of batsu game is deemed appropriate.

I only know Matsumoto from Absolutely Tasty but I like his style. He's kind of the Moe figure of the group. (To not be confused with moe)

Hahaha, Tojima's reaction when he introduced presents 39 and 40.

"These two are from your family."

"Tokiko?"

As good as he is in those, he's even better in a lot of his other work. Just youtube "downtown matsumoto" or something and spend hours enjoying his comedic stylings.

If you want a Matsumoto fix, you should visit the Japanese TV thread Matsumoto Appreciation Station .

Alternatively, consider watching some of his movies, like Symbol or Big Man Japan. They're pretty great.

Most of all though, catch up on the Batsu games. Just do it.

Thank you so much to everyone involved with bringing us these episodes! I really love watching them and it makes me so happy that we have folks like the SA GCCX Team that loves Game Center CX enough to bring them to us in such high quality.

You ladies and gentlemen are the very best. Thanks.

Very nice. I'm waiting eagerly with wallet in hand.

I'm pretty sure we can wait, though. A little spoiled by 3 releases in a row, but total burnout would suck more than a little break. Besides, not like they're really "duties" to begin with.

Last word was approximately September.

If that works out there's an interesting coincidence. The show will be shooting episode 150 right about the same time as the DVD release. Time for another overseas trip?

More like maybe the dude is just so hungry but somehow can't make it happen? Secret competitive eater/masked luchador type? I just kind of want to see him be sat down to a platter of biscuits and go to town on it, or maybe something Kirby appropriate outside of just trapping him in a room filled with cotton candy and the like.

The choice of clips for the new song was perfectly executed---how they might ever top such a selection is beyond me though I guess hope springs eternal with each subsequent season

Basic info on the game.

http://pcengine.co.uk/HTML_Games/Kattobi_Takuhaikun.htm

and that's pretty much all the info I could find. Nothing on Youtube with multiple searches, almost wanted to load up a rom and make my own video, but it seems my lack of Japanese would impede that.

Might be an interesting episode, depending on how much basic movement/monotony there is (which Arino likes).

Edit--I found footage...about a second or so.

Hard? How so? Sure, it was text-heavy, but Arino narrated everything, making it rather easy to follow. When Arino had to stop to make a decision between multiple choices, at least I had to pause the video to read everything on screen, though.

I didn't see it as being "hard" to watch, but hard to follow the game, I had no idea how Arino got to the conclusions he did or why any of the endings happened.

I'm getting a Tenka no Goikenban vibe from the game. This should be an odd one.

Late to the party on this one. One of the first episodes I got but I apparently didn't watch it until last night: Game Center CX in the USA.

I think I have a new favorite episode.


"What is a popular game in the United States?"
"Super Nintendo.. at least here."
"Ah, Super Nintendo?.... ... I am tired from a very long trip." :v:


Edit: And the Uncle Fester shocking machine. I recognized it immediately since there's one at the local movie theater. I love Arino, but I have to say the best parts of the show are when you know what torture he's in for, but he's completely clueless. :3:
