I can't get enough of this show! Thanks so much for the translations, so far I've watched up to Adventure Island from season 4. Small correction for the OP: The link to episode 80 - Kirby's Adventure, is currently going to the same URL as episode 73 and should be changed to http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=223227

Just finished watching Super Fantasy Zone. I am going to be so sad when I run out of new episodes to watch.  Some OP corrections: - Nintendo Channel episode 7 is listed (and filenamed) as "Mario Kart" but should be "Super Mario Kart" - Episode SP1 featuring Pokemon Ruby is listed as being on the "Gameboy Advanced" but should read "Game Boy Advance" I ended up trying out The Quest of Ki thanks to the show.. The jumping is so floaty and weird! I want to keep playing it though.

Primoman posted:That is weird. I thought it was a Japanese-developed game to begin with. Maybe the audience for boxing games isn't very big in Japan. The third arcade game (Arm Wrestling) was north america-only, and the snes game came out in Japan four years late - and not even on a normal cartridge release.

Tyma posted:At what point did games start introducing random elements to enemy behavior? I'm thinking it was around the SNES era that "Artificial Intelligence" became a pop culture concept, and enemy behavior as became much more random, as designers tried to give the impression that their games were "thinking"? Heh, AI popular culture started no later than 1968 with 2001: A Space Odyssey.. Maybe earlier with some Asimov stories! (And Video Chess on the 2600 can play against a human.) But here's the thing - you don't really have "true" randomness in your basic computer. It's all based on a seed value, that, if you re-enter that value by way of exact playback, will produce the same output. So, as an example, let's say that you start a theoretical fighting game in MAME while recording input: 1. Game powers on 2. You wait five seconds 3. You press the insert coin button 4. You wait two seconds 5. You press start 6. AI character X is your first opponent Feeding that exact same input into the game is always going to produce the same output. But if you had waited seven seconds in step 5, the output would've changed, depending on where the opponent-determining random seed value was coming from. The seed value could also be from number of inputs since X, number of seconds since Y date (if there's an internal clock), and any number of other things. If you're reproducing all of that exactly, it doesn't matter what the game is - whether it's deterministic like Pac-Man or non-deterministic like Ms. Pac-Man.

I went back to watch a few of the season 1 short episodes that I'd skipped, and came across a neat game. It's shown briefly at the beginning of the Star Force ep: Binary Land. Basically it's a puzzle game where you control two characters at the same time, in two asymmetric halves of a screen:  Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMwiko71qVw I just tried it today, it's pretty fun!

How the hell do so many of you have a 3DS?  I still play games on the Virtual Boy from time to time but the 3DS makes me want to hurl. Thanks for the new episode - I'm starting to run out of unwatched ones, and Pac-Man 2 is so wonderfully weird.

Mercury Crusader posted:Fun fact: the 3D is optional and you can shut it off any time. I know, I know, but then it's like "well why am I going to spend $170 on a 3D console if I can't use the 3D?". I tried Mario Kart 7 at EB with the setting very low and it was still extremely uncomfortable. Is it really common to just not use the 3D at all?

Mercury Crusader posted:Well, think of it like this: there are some folks that bought a DS for games that didn't really utilize the touch screen. v Yeah, I guess that makes sense. If Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright ever comes out here I could see getting a 3DS with the 3D off for that. Did anyone record the GB Donkey Kong stream earlier today? I caught the last couple of minutes, and I realized later that the ustream video was much higher quality than the SD version that would eventually hit the Wii.

jyrque posted:So lately I've got the worst itch for NES era gaming so I wanted to ask you guys how you play your games. Some of you have mentioned you've ordered online some games Arino has faced and I'd like to get into them as well. Specifically I'd like to buy a NES/Famicom because emulators ironically can't emulate that pristine KACHO feel to gaming. The greatest secret from the Retro Game Discussion thread: http://global.rakuten.com/en/category/toys_games/video_games/ Go there and browse categories or search directly - you get aggregate results from a ton of Japanese shops and shipping is worldwide. If you want Famicom stuff for non-ripoff prices it's the place to go.

I don't want to open a can of worms, but is it just that there's no gender bias in fat jokes over there, or it is just a different cultural sense of humour period? (ie here it's usually in poorer taste to make a fat joke about a woman than a man, owing to the difference in how overweight women are treated vs men by society at large.)

Ledneh posted:Is the phrase "unique game" their code for "this game sucks but we can't cheese off our benefactors on TV" or something? I've seen it applied a few times to games they've shown and I just noticed they said it about Out of This World and now I'm sad I don't know how negative they meant that to be in this case, but let's be honest about how good it is as a game... The atmosphere and presentation deserve to be remembered fondly, but in terms of actual game mechanics and controls, Another World is user-hostile in the extreme.
