Awesome new op Random Stranger, guess this is a good time to say thanks again to the translating team. Does anyone have a copy of the old animated banner ad that you were running for a while? As a way of saying thanks I'll pay for a couple of rotations in the "Goon Ad" space if you can supply that banner. e: It is done, 2 placements running for 2 months, should start appearing within 24 hours I think. ee: It's in rotation now.

Is it common for Japanese TV Shows to be plastered with text like GCCX does? I don't know why I'm only really noticing it now (after about 40 episodes watched), but the show seems put quite a lot of what is said in text on the screen. Is this unique to GCCX or a common occurrence for Japanese TV? And why?

I agree, great episode. The first video game I ever owned was Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman! for the Gameboy. Got that game and the original grey Gameboy "brick" handheld for an Xmas when I was a kid. Ah the memories....

Pangalin posted:Trying to coax a friend into the show without throwing her headfirst into a full episode, are there any (subbed) videos with just some compiled great moments or anything? How about : NC7 - Virtual Console - Super Mario Kart (15mins) NC4 - Virtual Console - Downtown Special (15mins) Over half of it is co-op which is cool. Super Mario Brothers 2/Lost Levels - (30mins) Lots of arcade sequences, naked Japanese men and a clear showing of skill difference between Arino and that amazing kid at the game. If you want really short and sweet I would suggest: Season One, Episode "M8" - Door Door (9 mins) Cute game, Guest Appearances and shows how terrible Arino is at games after being compared to that QA guy. I think this is probably the best, short episode.

Congrats zari-gani, good news for American fans. It's a shame about the ridiculous licensing issues this type of show has, it's pretty much guaranteed that we will never see a legitimate release here in New Zealand that I can throw money at.

The "hosts" have to be charismatic, the last thing I would want to watch is a bunch of nervous neckbeards playing old video games, especially if they are terrible at them. Arino can be ~bad at games~ because he is a charismatic comedian, it's humorous watching him constantly fail, it's charming watching him learn how to play these games. Also, don't forget that GCCX has some serious editing, if I actually had to watch all the footage of Arino die 78 times at the same spot I probably wouldn't bother watching the show (although I'm sure there are some Arino fans in this thread that probably would). I know I'm being overly negative. Sorry about that. If you go ahead with your plans I'll definitely watch it before judging it, I just hope you realize you will probably have to do something different/unique to stand out amongst the thousands of other game streams.

zari-gani posted:Gauntlet was one of few NES games I had growing up. I hate this game but the music is amazing, so I pretty much played it only for that. That reminds me, I don't suppose anyone knows of a Gauntlet type clone that was released for the Sega Master System do they? I have fond memories of this unknown game I used to play at a friends place. He had a SMS II with Alex Kidd built in and we always used to play some multiplayer game that looks vaguely similar to Gauntlet.

Mercury Crusader posted:I thought I knew of one, but then I remembered I was thinking of a TurboGrafx-16 game. However, there was a Sega Master System port of Gauntlet. Oh you are right. I just just watched a clip on youtube of the SMS port and I'm pretty certain it wasn't actually Gauntlet, but something very similar. It had that same camera angle. Oh well, I doubt I'll ever find out what game it was.

Liku posted:I'm going to vomit. What the gently caress is this poo poo. The same thing that happens in the west. I am definitely not trying to defend it, only pointing out that it is hypocritical to point the finger at Japan when we do it too. Rebecca Black is 14 and "Kathy Beth Terry" (a character played by Katy Perry in a music video) is also suppose to be 13. Twitter posted:"I'm 13 and in the 8th grade. I like Sudoku puzzles, the solar system, high-school science fairs, Skip-It, Weenie Babies and LOVE JTT!". Yet the video is about a party where they get sloshed, throw up and she wakes up in bed with a dude. These are no better role models then the young Japanese girls in that video. Although I must admit there is something a bit more "real" about seeing those girls on stage with an audience completely consisting of middle aged men. Back on topic: Arino's comments about him getting angry on camera and how he shouldn't show this side of him I think were spot on. It makes him too..... "normal". Everyone else is suppose to get mad when they get a game over, Arino isn't.  I hope we don't see more of this side of him on camera again... I really don't like it.

Just some "random Japanese guy".

Before I started watching GCCX, I genuinely thought that with enough practice and perseverance anyone could become good at anything. Even if one had no natural talent whatsoever, I figured most people could "brute force" a talent. Arino has shown me how terribly wrong I was. I legitimately have no idea how he can continue to play the same game (and also video games in general) over and over again and not show any signs of improvement. On another note, thanks again SAGCCX team. You lot are totally amazing and I really wish there was some way we could support you. In lieu of that, I pre-ordered the Discotek DVD from Amazon. Even though it's the incorrect region disc, on a format I stopped caring about years ago and is costing me $73 of my countries funny money to get shipped here.  I really hope it sells well and there is a chance more episodes get an official English release. e: That wedding video is weird and creepy.

I'm just catching up with some of the episodes I haven't got around to watching yet and am on the Pilotwings episode. During the Gameboy segment they showed off Street Fighter II, has anyone played it? It honestly looks like a terrible port, it's a wonder they even bothered trying to cram it onto that hardware. I wonder how many kids bought that after playing the arcade or a console version and regretted it.

Well, Arino being terrible at video games is kind of the premise of the entire show. But yes, I'm also excited for the DVD. I haven't seen any of the episodes that will be on it because the Kotak episodes weren't available in my region. Not that I'm complaining about that, if this thread is anything to go by the dubbed versions are terrible.

Nintendo having ridiculous control over their platforms is what made them. I'm sure the people in this thread don't need a history lesson about the state of the gaming industry right before the NES and what the result was of having "open" platforms with no quality control. This is Nintendo, it's been successful for them for ~30 years and I doubt they will change any time soon. I personally hate the idea of closed systems and closed software, I run Linux and all the software I write is released under the GNU GPL. I get it, but it's also saying something that my favourite gaming platform is the SNES. If you're reading this thread chances are you are also a fan of at least one of their platforms so they obviously did/do something very "right". Nintendo is Nintendo and I honestly think that this type of control is so ingrained in the company that apart from a complete takeover by another entity this aspect of them will never change.

ConanThe3rd posted:Oh bullshit and horse manure. The Gameboy was a region free console... You are right that the handhelds did seem to traditionally have more freedom then the home systems when it came to regional lockouts. I wasn't just talking about regional lockouts though. The entire Nintendo ecosystem is locked down; from the developer to consumer, they have always kept an iron-like grip on the content available.
