I am also one of the crazy people that legit really likes the Virtual Boy. It probably helps that I have mutant eyes that don't shrivel up when I play it but it's actually got some really fun games and I love the sound chip on it.

Just to clarify, is this the translated version of the DVD challenge that was bundled with the second GCCX game where Arino attempted to complete staff challenges in Retro Game Challenge?

Yes, it's that challenge from the bonus DVD that came with the collector's edition of the second game.

Thanks for the new release! Also have to mention that I recently bought a 3DS XL and the first game I bought from the Virtual console store: Mighty Bomb Jack. There's a few others I want to try, although the collection of VC games is a bit lacking here in Europe at the moment.

Some people think the show is completely staged, others not. There's been arguments over this in the thread before. For the record, some minor things have been shown to be scripted, like episode intros ("This is an NES game so I bet it'll be easy") and stuff the ADs say when they step into the scene ("May I play for one life?") or Watanabe eating stuff during arcade trips. Kibe's role is to think of little bits like that, as well as write the narration script. But Arino's gameplay and his commentary aren't scripted. The show leaves that up to him because he creates his own magic. ETA: Spoilered just in case. zari-gani fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Jan 10, 2013 |

Yeah, and the Retro Game Challenge special definitely seems more planned out than the average episode. Probably because there are certain things they wanted to show off, and also they can't take up the indieszero meeting room for 14 hours.

Are the intros always written? There seem to be quite a few episodes where it seems like Arino is just telling a story about something that happened to him recently. The "reveal" of every game is definitely not a surprise to Arino.

I can't believe there's people who think Arino's gameplay segment is scripted/staged. A simple proof would be the live 24 hour episode of Quest of Ki. He was stuck in one stage for 8 real-time hours. There is no way a producer would plan something like that during live broadcast for a national TV.

Regarding scripted or not, I suppose if Arino plays well there's no need for AD's to step in. But are they making a plan on when to step in on the fly as they go along, since they can't be sure what is causing Arino trouble during his gameplay? Or do they have everything planned out with every possible solution ready with information should Arino need it?

They definitely have backup plans ready. There are plenty of games where they give him a huge tip or cheat early in the game and some where they hold out for a long time. It's all designed so that they can get enough footage to make a good episode. Then there are cases like Ninja Spirit...

The show leaves that up to him because he creates his own magic. Obviously, the show is staged a little, but I think it's giving the producers and Arino too much credit to think they could effectively stage the gameplay. Otherwise, you wouldn't have shoots going on into 3 or 4 AM in the morning, and you wouldn't have Arino clearing some challenges in a normal work day on others. And the reactions you get from the people, either they are the best actors ever, or it's real. There's also too much that can go wrong, and Arino doesn't strike me as someone who is good enough to be really crappy at one moment and then be really good the next. As for the anecdotes, I'd be surprised if they weren't planned out a bit. I'm sure you have them working with Arino to tighten them up or make them funnier, and they might try it a few times.

Or do they have everything planned out with every possible solution ready with information should Arino need it? Well, the ADs play through the game before Arino does. There's a few reasons to do this. First, they need to know whether or not the game is going to work for an episode. So if it is too easy or too hard or just plain boring, they probably won't do it. Next, they do it so they can make notes on where Arino is likely to gently caress up, and then I'm sure they spend time afterwards making whatever charts or diagrams they feel they need to. So they obviously have notes on the trouble sections, and I'm sure they spend time coming up with clever ideas on how to give Arino advice.

I can't think of any examples right now but I think sometimes they anticipated he'll need help, then it turned out he does fine... then they brought out the hint/help gimmicks they had prepared anyway so they don't go to waste. Then there are challenges like Comix Zone where they had drawings prepared and used them, but didn't show them in the episode.

Who is to say they really go that late at night? Perhaps the "room" they're in is just a set in a television studio. Have we ever seen it raining on the show?

Personally I fully believe that the regular continue failures are, at least for the most part, genuine. Was just a bit too weird in that instance. No big deal though. They clearly have some stuff prepared that they make sure gets in there, but overall analyzing it too much is not as fun as enjoying the show as it is

The "reveal" of every game is definitely not a surprise to Arino. The reveal is not a surprise on camera typically but there are exceptions to this like Ghouls'n Ghosts. The general rule is that Arino doesn't know what game he's playing until he arrives for the challenge.

It's the call of the director or Kibe and while they have certain plans they don't always hold with them. That's just unscripted television for you.

I'm guessing it's either to get his advice as the cameraman who sets up the shots, or Abe is a secret expert on property assessment. Probably both. Actually I bet Abe's still mad about the season 4 to 10 challenge room... FWIW, There have been four regular challenge rooms that are used through the series and a handful of one-offs that they've used for various episodes. From the pilot to Adventure Island they shot in the Fuji TV building. This conference room has doors both to the right and left of Arino and no external window. Urakawa completed the Adventure Island challenge in the new room (maybe they found out they could shoot there by Urakawa doing it as a test run) which was at the Gascoin offices. This is the room where there's a pillar to Arino's right, the windows open, and the sun hits Arino in the eyes at the wrong times of year. In the middle of season 11 they moved to their current offices where the safety glass windows on Arino's left are typically visible. The other "regular" challenge room is at Fuji TV again but it's only used for live shows. They seem to keep returning to the same room, probably because it's usable for long, live broadcasts.
