Wow, Hamaguchi's Mii is probably the most accurate I've ever seen. Seriously, that thing is perfect.

I have to give it to the staff; all the original songs from the soundtrack are really good. They are by far the best part of the soundtrack (especially when there's no tama-ge theme, dangit!)

Oh snap, went back to CDJapan to check and they had one copy left with trading card. Excellent!

Actually, I think the counter is broken, because they had just one copy left when I bought mine on the 6th, and it's still sitting at 1 now.

I'll have to see what I get when mine shows up today - it already arrived in Germany, so it should show up on time. FedEx sure is snappy.

EDIT: Just got my copy, and it came with the Arino trading card.

The raw to the new GCCX raw is up on Nyaa torrents. New episode raws sure are getting uploaded online quicker these days. Anyone watching the extended live footage from the 2 recent live challenges that are airing in Japan now?

I liked the new episode, it's been a while since he's challenged a fighting game. Plus, "Yoga Fire!" for a Kamehameha, I laughed. Also, the first staff battles in a long time, and suddenly, Nakayama out of nowhere.

I'm watching the final version of the Megaman 2 challenge right now, and if it doesn't violate any rules, I'd be glad to post the results of the final ending. Is that okay?

I don't think the SMB battle will have any new footage outside of the previously aired CS version that had the action happening between the commercials of the original broadcast. Also, Producer Kan's Twitter didn't tease anything for it, but he did kind of say "Who knows what the new 10 minutes of the Megaman 2 challenge will contain?"

In the just-aired extended version of the Famicon 30th Anniversary Challenge against Megaman 2, in the extra 10 minutes, Arino was able to beat Dr.Wily, a revenge waiting eight years in the making!

Just ended now.

Edit - That is, the extended version with the extra 10 minutes just ended a little while ago.

This contains spoilers for the whole RAW of the episode:

I'm glad he finally beat the game. Although I had a feeling he would've, they just ran out of time the first time. I know many people are frustrated because Arino is so inept with Megaman games. Even I was pulling my hair when he deemed Quick boomerang the best weapon to use against Bubbleman. But it was still very, very, entertaining to watch, hopefully we can get it subbed in the not too distant future.

It worked. They had one copy without the First Press when I originally checked. But after a day they had it in stock again with First Press. After I bought it, the First Press was gone and reverted back to one copy without a card. But I'll know when it gets here.

Mine had a sticker on the outside pointing out (in Japanese) that there was a card inside.

If you have a JP 3DS you can grab his Mii via Spotpass, they're sending it out now. I think it's one of those Miis that doesn't let you export a QR code, though, so the rest of us are probably boned.

Thank you for posting this. :) It's amazing that they had Arino challenge a fighting game again since that seems to be one of his weakest genres outside of SHUMPs, but it still made for an entertaining episode (even though I know very little Japanese and yet somehow still remember enough about DBZ despite not seeing an entire episode in years to know what was going on in the game's story mode).

Also, if I could, I would vote that Arino does more silly faces during the "KACHO ON!"

(I hope this doesn't count as a spoiler :ohdear:)

That bit had already been shown on the eshop digest version of the episode, for the record.

Also, for those of you with Japanese 3DSes, guess who just got distributed as a special Mii!
Hamaguchi, not Arino... but still cool

Hey guys, what would be a good episode from the DVD to show someone who's never seen GCCX before? My aunt got the DVD for my birthday, and we're probably going to watch it together. :3:

If she likes video games, Ninja Gaiden. If not, probably Battle Golfer Yui.

I like SOS a lot, but maybe it's best for people who have suffered at a game's controls. A lot good humor there though, in my opinion.

53 Stations of the Tokaido. It's a great episode to show off the charm of the show without the video game taking too much center stage.

Ok, thanks! Probably looks like it's going to be either 53 Stations, or Battle Golfer Yui.

I'd say 53 stations.

Just a cage of bones, there's nothing inside.
Even though Yui is my favorite episode, I feel like showing it off first would eliminate the catharsis from watching him actually succeed very well at a game. 53 Stations is probably better.

Yeah, I occasionally thought about the music being similar to some Pokemon theme. Couldn't put my finger on it, but I guess it's the rival theme.
