Arino obviously needs to play Abe's Oddysee to keep up the illusion.

Now I'm intensely sad that I will never hear Arino converse with the ADs in mudokon fashion.

Here's a Vita start screen I made based on the castle sprites that were posted here a little while ago. It's pretty simple/sparse/imperfect, but I think it gets the job done. I did include the throne & candleabras originally, but then you were peeling away all but the top of the throne, which looked weird.

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 :smith:

I was thrilled to find out they did Legacy of the Wizard. I rented that game ages ago and had NO idea what was going on in it. It was satisfying to see Arino go through it just to fulfill my curiosity about the game after all this time.

Honestly I kind of want to play it a little for myself just to see if it's as... obtuse as it seems from the episode.

That and like I said I dig the music :v:

I always enjoyed the Actraiser episode because it felt like I finally found a kindred spirit in someone who really likes the creation mode as much as I do. :unsmith:

I think it's because they didn't really run together well. Actraiser's action bits were the crappy parts in between the sim mode.

Great music to the action bits, though. Anyone who's played this and says they don't remember Filmore act 1 is a drat dirty liar. :colbert:

Yeah the town restoration thing didn't happen at all in Illusion of Gaia, and in Terranigma it was more of a story hook than an actual mechanic for the most part.


... drat, now I want to see Illusion of Gaia on GCCX too. :(

(edit) Then again maybe not; it would probably end up like Link to the Past did: too much content (in this case story rather than gameplay) to fit into an hour and do the game service. But I'll dream anyway. :shobon:

Actually, Punch Out is probably my favorite episode so far, mostly because of how in to it he and the crew get when the game throws him a total fuckin screwball (Piston Honda and Great Tiger's specials, primarily). Very WHOA WAIT WHAT WHOA stuff. :v:

I went ahead and reuploaded the comic anyway. No idea who originally translated it, but credit to whoever they are!

I'm downloading a translated foreign comic about a low budget TV show wherein a middle-aged comedian sucks at old video games.

I know you're just joking but it's already been translated to Japanese



It's called Tonari no Seinfeld. Yes, like Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbour Totoro).

The Drew Carey Show has also been translated to Japanese. They call it Drew Carey DE Show! in a delightful pun of -desho.

I wonder if this vague bemusement I'm feeling right now is how the average Japanese nerd feels about America getting translated versions of GCCX. :v:


On another note, I just watched the Street Fighter 2010 episode (thanks again SA Team!), and in the first ten minutes I recognized it as "that fuckin game my parents got me when I was five instead of Street Fighter II for the SNES." I never got past the eyeball ceiling boss :(

I was thinking specifically of the "RPG" mode in Gauntlet IV, yeah. I loved that poo poo to death as a kid. Still do, really, even though I've practically memorized every single level at this point.

I remember hearing how Red Dead Revolver was originally being made by Capcom, but it got dropped and they eventually sold the name and rights to Rock Star for pretty cheap. As a thank you Rock Star let them publish San Andreas to Japan, and it was actually the best selling game of the month it came out.

Makes me wonder how/if they translated "Youse a busta, busta!" type lines. :v:

Today I was at Fry's and on the way out I noticed one of the machines Arino used on a tamage (wish I could remember which episode): the barber cut one where you had to position a very tiny blade to cut strings holding up prizes. It was a little surreal, considering I only noticed it when I heard the whistle-stop noise from the show :v:

Didn't realize those were on the American side of the pond, too.
