It's weird because at this point he's a beaten a ton of legitimately difficult games but you could make him replay Super Mario World again right now and he'd still die hundreds of times

I'm pretty sure "Power up your skills" was a slogan for some NES-era third party controller or 1-900 hint line kids used to drive up their parent's phone bill get help for their video games. If it wasn't, it definitely sounds like one. :v:

Seriously though, I'm happy to see that there is great progress being made on RGC2. :)

Yeah, it's pretty close to being done, from what I understand the only non-background text that hasn't been translated is the opponent dialogue in Triotos, after that it should be close to alpha/beta and bug- and typofixing.

Do you find something comical about my appearance when I'm driving my automobile?

You know, the problem with Arino is that you can't have him cut off his fingers for a transgression. He needs those fingers to play the games. Unless the show were to take a much darker turn and chronicle of Arino's descent into the Japanese underworld.

So I just learned that I can't send my Arino and Hamaguchi miis from my Japanese to American 3DS.

Does anyone have QR codes for good versions of them so I can have them ready for Tomodachi Life?

(didn't catch his name) He seems to have a history playing handball. I wonder if Defense Machine will be his nickname from now on.

The arcade trip in the Rockman X 2nd part was great. Can anyone explain what the deal is with the new segment? They just hang out at a hot springs spa and play the Nintendobox?

Even though I know very little Japanese (I've learned a few words from watching GCCX, mostly thanks to the SAGCCX crew :)), I'm thinking you got the point down, especially since a lot of the games seem to be the very early Famicom/NES arcadey games that didn't have actual endings outside of the first Super Mario Bros. I don't remember which other games were featured, but SMB1 is the only one that I remember that has an actual ending.

I'm more curious to know if Arino recognized the controller on the Famicom Box is an NES controller, which I'm going to assume he first encountered in the USA trip special unless he stayed in a hotel with a Famicom Box in the 80s or 90s, rather than a Famicom controller when he first saw it. In the first episode of the segment (which I think was MMX part 1?), it looked like he recognized the controller right away, so I assume he did.

The NES has shown up on the show during a trip to Super Potato.

His last name is Yanai. Didn't think about posting it yesterday, sorry.

The Famicombox was apparently pretty popular back in the Famicom's heyday, a lot of hot spring resorts and hotels had them, but there's practically none of them left now. I think the gimmick of this segment is the rarity of the machine, plus trying to play games in the ten minute per 100 yen time limit (the segment's subtitle is "10 minutes is enough").

"The Famicombox,"

"plus trying to play games in the ten minute per 100 yen time limit"

So its basically like the NES Arcade? Looking the system up it seems for some reason they use a USA cart and the pins are very different. I Have not seen the episode so maybe I'm just repeating here.

IMO, beautiful is an understatement. I'm actually shocked that it's looking this good right now since it sounds like a handful of people are working on it, and I love that they're reusing the RGC1 English fonts or a very similar font to keep it consistent. :)

Seems to be pretty much exactly that. When they introduced the machine in episode 177 they did point out the games, controller and zapper were the same as the NES, not the Famicom, but didn't explain why. Maybe to speed up production and make them more interchangeable?
