    Either they will have to edit the holy hell out of it, or make it a 3-parter or something. DQ2 is much longer than DQ1, and a hell of a lot harder too.

      They could have picked literally anything else. Pikmin is a game they're most certainly going to do at some point, and it's not the best game ever, or the best challenge possible, but it's better than DQ2.

          I get it - the millennials and their kids are the target audience. For Japan "retro gaming" is primarily the FC, SFC, then PCE and a tiny bit of MD. That's roughly how the breakdown of the game challenges work. BUT long ass rpgs just don't work for the show because they're long and they're NOT skill based challenges. The best parts of the show are Arino just brute forcing old hard ass retro games.

    On the topic of JRPGs, I'm playing Chrono Trigger atm and thought it would have made a good two parter for GCCX. Kind of surprised he's never played it.

          It has been a while since I watched it, but it just wasn't memorable aside from the "I hate trump!" bit. There's better episodes that haven't been translated yet is what I'm saying.

          Why learn moon? The show was nice enough to translate that line for us because it's super important.

          Learn moon so you don't have to rely on someone to sub for you. They're so far behind I imagine the show will end before the subbers catch up.

          Speaking of which, is there no raw release of Super Pinch Out!!! yet? Haven't been able to find it and not in the pastebin.

                It's Ring-Ring Tactics so he was probably playing Super Monkey Daibouken, he wore a big yellow jacket for the return of Ring-Ring Tactics with Championship Lode Runner. If you mean the actual episode it was in, I dunno but it'd be a season 3 ep. You could also just watch the Ring-Ring Tactics compilation.

        Honestly I'm probably missing some really great stuff. I've only watched one of the travelogue episodes, one of the country visit episodes (America), and I skip a lot of the really basic arcade games he plays like Wrecking Crew because I just kind of find the gameplay repetitive to watch. I'm trying to force myself to branch out more now though, since I've seen basically everything else.

                They need to get the rights from the rights holder of the IP, as well as the publisher, so they likely won't. They are doing one anime/manga game per season almost now.

                I think for western series, they might do a Loony Tunes game at some point. There's a few really good Anamaniacs and Tiny Toons games.

                It is not just Irem. Dino City based on is a made for tv movie from America, so they’d have to negotiate with Smart Egg productions or whoever holds the rights to them. Ie more work than it is worth when they could just get an original ip.

    Where did they get that time? Did they just take THEIR best time and challenge Arino to beat it? Are they not aware they're all massively better at games than he is? There was no way in hell he was gonna do that. At least pick a time more manageable for Arino. Have a sense of game design.

        I bookmarked that one ages ago. Maybe it was offline for a while or something.

        You're going to end up getting raped like that dude who streamed sumo matches and collected profit off donations and subs. We haven't seen him in years.

    Is Arino immortal? I remember DS game about him, it was 15 years ago or so.

      Do you think he's 100 years old or something?

        He's starting to look it. Does he have health issues? Watching season 3 episode and then watching a new one he doesn't even look like the same guy.

    Covid era episodes are a little depressing.

      I know, right?
      Doesn't help that ADs aren't as present as earlier seasons anymore, but it does feel that interactions got a lot more stilted. Not to mention Arino got really good at games after 20-something seasons which kinda defeats the show's entire premise.

        It's more they gave him easier games to minimize the need for staff help

          That, or they ran out of kusoge for him to play. TamaGe segments are also sorely missed.

            They got plenty of shit games left, it's just a matter of giving him no stress games.

              Why no stress? Does he have a heart condition now?

                Weakens the immune system, plus Ken Shimura was killed by Covid, Kan was not going to be known as the man who killed Arino.

        The glass wall ruins it for me. Like at least put a Bowser sticker on it or something, anything to liven it up and lessen the depression of knowing why its there.
