Likely not. It was a very very limited arcade run.

It's kind of sad hearing that Inoko MAX was/is apparently kind of a dick, because I love that guy on GCCX. He's probably my favorite AD out of the bunch.

Personally, I think intent factors into being a dick. Inoue strikes me as more of a screw-up who tries to be better when confronted with it.

The Asakusa Hanayashiki event was cancelled, but the merchandise is on sale now. I got a water bottle.

Why, yes, I do like Kirby games.
I broke my foot a few months ago and had to move in with my folks while I healed. I'm ready to move back into my place soon, knock on particle board, but the GCCX stream has been great because, if nothing else, it's in Japanese - so I don't have to worry about a streamer dropping an f-bomb while my little sister walks past. Or worse, my dad.

More than once, during Arino's arcade trips, he's played a game about unifying Japan that uses a light-up board for the provinces and has two spinning reels that you have to stop to make your move (one being a number of spaces, the other being a character that modifies that number). Does anyone know what that game is called, or at the very least an episode it appeared in?

I can't remember an episode he plays it in offhand, but you're referring to Kuni Tori Gassen (国盗り合戦), right?

Poor lady, married to a guy who can remember vintage arcade games from not his childhood at the drop of a hat.

(I tracked down one of the apparent two games she played as a kid based on much vaguer clues, so maybe I have some redeeming qualities.)

I love and fear the human search engine at the same time.
That shop closed, the owner went to China, if I recall correctly.

Yeah, and as much as I want to say 'buy the DVD,' my own copy has about doubled in value at this point due to rarity. Just trying to be diplomatic.

It's a shame they couldn't license more episodes in North America. The DVD set was like 8 years ago, and during that time, how many people fell in love with the show?

Just finished watching the Hammerin' Harry episode, and it appears that this is the first one shot during the pandemic. Any specific highlights that tie into the Pandemic? It looks like Arino was by himself during the taping, but you could hear people maybe outside the conference room? Did Abe even show up at all?

Not sure if it counts as a spoiler but no he was alone in the room, they just used fixed cameras. Staff were monitoring from a separate room. They deliberately chose a short and easy game to "limit exposure" for Arino, which I assumed means that they planned on shooting several episodes back-to-back to limit the number of days he needs to come in for recording the challenges.

I'm not sure how I feel about GCCX continuing during the pandemic. My favorite bits of the show are pretty much everything but the bits where he's just sitting there, working on beating a game; if he can't safely interact with staff or go to a game corner, I kinda want him to do something else with his life.

"Thus," concluded Miyamoto, "you must give up everything you have to be my disciple."

But that's his job and if he wants to do it, he should? Though granted, there's a video of Yoiko playing the new Paper Mario on the Switch (it's under "news" if you have an account with access to the Japanese eshop) and they've got a sheet of plexyglass hung between them, that was kinda bizarre to see.

I'm not saying he can't, or even that he shouldn't. What I am saying is that he shouldn't risk his health for my entertainment, and if doing that means getting rid of the parts of the show I like, I, personally, would rather it go on a hiatus for a bit. We'll see how things actually turn out.

A lot of shows are on re-reuns, and there are lots of dramas being re-aired as well. If the staff thinks they can clap safely from a different room, I say let the show go on (the visits will likely be cut, just my opinion.)
