/vr/ - Retro Games

Neat.

Someone do Biohazard. Literally only game I want to see.

>>4081410
Sadly, SA-GCCX doesn't want to translate the DVD specials anymore for whatever reason.

>>4082478
fucking retards...

>>4082478
If I recall, it was done on the hopes that people would buy the DVD, and encourage the GCCX people to make and release more official DVD's outside of Japan. It didn't work, but SA still has no desire to sub it. I think I heard something about them or the translator being asked by the GCCX team to not touch it, but I can't remember.

>>4081405
Seems OK to me. OP is lacking, but it has the pastebin.

>>4082509
What does that have to do with DVDs that are released in Japan only, featuring Japan-DVD-exclusive bonus challenges that SA refuses to translate?

/vr/ translating the Ikki bonus challenge and the other one there threatened them to the point that they had to destroy the group in order to coax Kakaricho into translating what they told him to. Anything to prevent DVD bonus challenges from being translated...at least they make him translate episodes Nina doesn't want to touch.

>>4081401
Fuck off /tv/.

>>4083056
SA didn't destroy /vr/'s translation group, I dunno who told you that.

As for those DVD's, maybe they don't have a source and don't feel like spending the dosh? Maybe they want to focus on episodes before specials? Hell if I know.

>>4083064
They have access to good encodes + original DVD source of Ganbare Goemon 2, Biohazard, Sonic 2, Tower of Druaga, and Dynamite Deka. Not including their members' full DVDs.

So, what's this show about anyway?

>>4083349
A Japanese comedian tries to beat old games within a single session (he is often spectacularly poor at them, but sometimes not). There's lots of bad jokes and friendly trash talking among the staff. There are other regular segments like visiting local arcades or candy shops, game trivia, etc.

>>4083443
You forgot to mention the japanese comedian is acting a role in the show, he is the "kacho" (chief).

>>4083443
>>4083451
No thanks

>>4083487
You're welcome, to be honest it's not for everyone. I'm surprised it even got as popular as it got in the west despite westerners not really getting japanese comedy.

>>4082478
>Sadly, SA-GCCX doesn't want to translate the DVD specials anymore for whatever reason.

Well get someone else to do it.

>>4083493
Where's the comedy in a washed-up comedian with a bias for Nintendo screaming ABUNAI as he fails at games?

>>4083516
See? you just don't get it.
If you want to start with japanese comedy, don't start with GCCX or any other modern show, watch some Tengoku no kiss or some other early Fujii work.

>>4081401
Love this game; shame that it went almost completely unnoticed.

Rather frustrating to watch Arino struggle with the gatekeeper boss, not knowing that you can just throw your head upward to avoid the multiple-claw attack.

Not relevant to this release at all, I just watched "Jerry Boy." Fun episode, but the Watanabe bullying has got to stop.

>>4083583
But it's fun! As long as it's not in front of her parents or anything.

>>4083584

She's honestly not even that big a gal, so it makes me kind of sad. Then again, I live in Texas, so maybe my idea of a big girl vs. Japan's is pretty different.

Say, are the non-challenge specials any good? I don't usually watch them, skipped the Yuji Horii interview and then the Paris Dakar Rally special, too. I'm sure if I sat down and watched them, they're great. Is it kind of like an hour-long tamage?

>>4083589
Paris Dakar Rally Special is the name of the game. Terrible game, great episode.

You might be thinking of the two hour specials. He went to Paris in one of them. They're like the reverse of a normal episode. Lots of travel bits and then a game challenge for the segments on the side.

>>4083527
>it's just 2deep4u bruh
No, it's just shit, sorry.

>>4083603

>Paris Dakar Rally Special is the name of the game

Ahh, I'm embarrassed. I'm so embarrassed I could crawl into a hole and die right now. Thanks, anon, I'll watch it.

>>4083604
I can see how it's not for everybody, and I respect your opinion.

>>4083607
Don't worry about it man. The titles can get confusing.

>>4083608
Alright, humour me; what is the funniest episode of GCCX?

>>4083604
I never said it's "2deep4u", just that, logically, you grew up with a different culture, a different idiosyncrasy, it's natural you don't get japanese humor.

>>4083614

Not that anon, but "funniest" is massively subjective. I really liked the Ultraman episodes, S.O.S is good, Prince of Persia is fantastic. Tokimeki Memorial is damn funny... Lemmings is good too.

Alternatively, just look at a list of the games and pick one that's familiar to you.

>>4083614
Paris Dakar Rally Special, episode #107, season 14 opener.

>>4083614
Tokimeki Memorial is pretty great

>>4083614
I second tokimeki memorial for one of the funniest.
My personal favorite is Fatal Fury Special, more than funny, I'd say it's even emotional, especially toward the end. It has a great critical moment, I'm not sure if these things are scripted, but either way it's great.
SMW both episodes are also as classic as it gets for Arino.

>>4083443
>>4083493
>>4083527

Stop taking such old bait, you're embarrassing yourself.

>>4083584

Sweet, only 3 episodes left for season 16.

>>4083614
Quiz Nanairo Dreams is pretty good.

Hamaguchi was on Suiyoubi last night, I don't think he had a single line that wasn't cut for being too dull. It was funny to watch him just sat there all night.

Does anyone know the song that plays after Arino takes a nap in the Lemmings 24 Hour Special Summary episode?

Could anyone please give me a link to the episode where he plays Legend of the River King 2? For some reason I can't find a torrent for that anywhere and I really want to watch that episode.

>>4090674

arinos dad dying is pretty hilarious too haha

In what pace you guys watched/are watching GCCX?

I used to watch 2 episodes per day, generally during meals.

>>4091485
Do you think its an accident that the ADs are always at some random out of the way arcade they "randomly" choose to go to, usually having to take a bus, then a trolley, then a mountain cart to reach on some lonely mountaintop somehwhere?

Don't get me wrong, I love when the old ADs show up for a random segment, but not a single one of the instances feel organic. Its always painfully obvious they set this up.

>>4093571
I don't think they intended to trick the audience to begin with.

>>4093571
>>4093598
Yeah, it's just a silly wink to the audience. I'm sure they don't actually expect people to think that they were there spontaneously.

>>4092246
Catch Copy was so much fun and Takeda is great. I'm happy they brought her back for the Minecraft series.

>>4093549

I'll go for months without watching it, and then I'll binge watch a season (2 if it's a short season) in the span of a week or so.

>>4094071
yea, i agree. arinos dad dying is hilarious

Somewhat off topic, but can anybody provide me with episode 43 of Tokyo Encounter with English subs? As an incentive, I can provide a link to a MEGA folder containing 1 thru 42 plus two specials, all English subbed.

Is 20 hours on a ferry enough time for Arino to beat Ninja Gaiden III? I know the Japanese version is supposed to be easier, but how much easier?

>Mega Man 4
>AD immediately tells Arino his best route

Ugh. It probably won't matter too much since it's Arino playing after all, but I'm still a little disappointed.

>>4098098

>>4098639
>Ninja Gaiden III
Reading up on this, it seems they made the game much harder for the overseas version. Arino might be alright with the passwords and weaker enemies in the Japanese version.

>>4098701

They always tell Arino the best way to proceed in the games, they just don't always include it in the episodes. A lot of times they just pretend like it was just Arino's skill and intuition that allowed him to find the way forward. Like the hidden bombable floor in Metroid.

>>4083443
You forgot that he also interviews devs from time to time.

>>4081401
Did yume penguin monogatari ever get subbed?

>>4099318
The list says no.

>The Yuji Horii Interview still is not subbed
As a Dragon Quest fan, I think I would literally cum the sixth ocean the day it happens.

>>4098843
Yea, thats one of the worst parts about the show, and probably why a lot of people dont like it all together. So much is clearly scripted and and/or controlled. But I guess they do it to speed things along.

>>4099668
Yea, can SA plz just sub this already? I realize the only available copies are like below 480p, but I don't care about video quality in the least! I've been wanting to watch this for years! :(

>>4100118
Clannish men are in possession of an SD .TS source for it but SA probably knows this since it's been said before so they might be waiting for someone else to put in the time getting it so that they can say "they" finally acquired the "master" and can finally do it.

>>4088346
They got the next one up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBue5UHjDPw

Until we someday by some miracle get to a point they are current with subs on regular episodes not doing DVD or bonus stuff isn't a big deal.

Get all caught up on regular eps then we can bitch about that

>>4116231
no thanks, i'm not interested in your attempts

>>4116231
yeah, i forgot about that. but wasn't there another group who subbed an episode a few months ago, right before SA started subbing again? maybe that group could work on the DVD/bonus episodes?

>>4101258
I got it from the pastebin. They put up a clock when it's coming. There's a new one in about 6 hours.

>>4104112
I know they had the date leaked three weeks ago and the name of the game last week, but now it's completely official.

http://otn.fujitv.co.jp/gamecenter/index.html

I guess there's no chance of watching the kotaku episodes subbed.

If Arino is a game master I'm a gaming prodigy.

>>4116731
Need more translators

>>4116731
Also there are episodes that demand subbing more than DVD exclusives do. LC wants to translate certain things before Biohazard, and we still need source video for Castlevania. I have the fury of my own momentum.

>>4117173
You can turn off the dub and watch with subs on the DVD. Look for Retro Game Master.

>>4117336
Perfectly fine castlevania video is online. Only an idiot would disagree. And 106 Yuji Horii Interview needs to be subbed long before any dvd related material.

Why is it so hard to find pre-HD episodes raw?

>>4117393
Since your preemptive ad hominem makes any disagreement regarding Castlevania impossible, realize instead that a source broadcast for episode 106 needs to be found even more than does an uncompressed DVD source for Castlevania.

>>4117407
Because they used to be on some private server resulting in no one saving them. Then it disappeared. From it we got a taste though, episodes that made it to another server. Resulted in 103, 104, and (105?) getting translated.

>>4117413
Nope, wrong as always JD.

>>4117459
Then the Castlevania needs a source more?

>>4117459
Nope, wrong as always JD.

Why is Arino so cute?

>>4120228
He's cute, button cute!

Sorry if this is kinda off-topic, but does anyone know about any other shows that Arino has been on? I'm interested in seeing what else he has done outside of GCCX.

Pic related, already watched this a while back, but I haven't been able to find much else.

Found the shop Arino first visited in that Korea special.

Well, I found the complex - it already closed down at 8 before I could get there. Someone else I know said it was really quiet there during the weekend too. Pretty sad how much it changed in 13 years.

Still trying to find the first arcade he went to in Korea

>>4121349
He was recently on the ame talk Famicom nostalgia episode, that might be up your alley. The Yoiko mujintou seikatsu broadcasts are usually pretty fun as well.

On regular variety shows you'll see Hamaguchi appearances more often than Arino but they're pretty rare either way these days.

Can someone direct me to a subbed episode that includes that funny sound effect everytime Nakayama bows?

>>4128727
Unfortunate, even in GCCX's earliest days when the studio footage was "filmized" SD digital video at 24fps they still broadcast the game footage at 60fps. 4K is still in its infancy and broadcasters / services (and some displays) can only handle 30fps so that's all we get for Ninja Gaiden III.

Can someone point me to the ~90 GB torrent that used to be floating around of the show? I finally got a hair up my ass to start getting into this series and nyaa goes down.

Another great show ruined by an awful SJW translation team.

>>4135568
WAit wait
is this new?

if so thank you so much!

I'm so happy two diff sub teams seem active now

>>4135839
Those aren't subs and that isn't an actual group, it's just an encoder that doesn't even speak japanese.

>>4135849
:( thats sad
I was excited for a moment.

But isn't VRiSfags the group that Wizards & Warriors recently.

or who was that?

>>4135960
That was the encoder using a translation given to them by the same guy that translated the "magical quest with mickey mouse" episode, and it's the only thing VRiSFAGS has put out that isn't a raw episode or a re-encoded version of an episode SAGCCX already did.

Fave ep?
AD?

53 Stations has gotta be my fave.
Fujioka singing is glorious.
Completely redeemed at the Budokan.

Nakayama is my waifu though.

>>4135960
That episode just aired hours before it was put up here and it's 2-hours long. VRiSFAGS makes raw encoded episodes as well as subtitles for translators to use to translate episodes.

If it was translated then the tag FANSUB would be in there. Look for that in the future. Until then, enjoy 2 hours of the Chief on a big boat playing various video games.

>>4136095
>Fave ep?
It's hard to pick just one... Jogging Race, The Wing of Madoola, and PaRappa The Rapper are some of my favorites.
>AD?
Nakayama, for sure.

>>4098701
>Ugh. It probably won't matter too much since it's Arino playing after all, but I'm still a little disappointed.

Arino would never beat any of these games if they didn't help him out all the time.

>>4135960
>>4135970
VRiSFAGS encodes an episode from source, then times and typesets the entire script before turning over to the translator. In the case of Wizards & Warriors, the translator was the reknowned LC (as indicated by LCxVRiS). When the translation is done, it goes back to VRiSFAGS for final typesetting, editing, and polishing before release.

Having the script before the translation makes things a lot easier. A translator selects a line and can play its audio, lay in the translation, and move to the next.

This is why I rarely come here anymore. Why do you feel the need to always spoil the surprise of the next episode? Does it make you feel cool? Like trying to be the first person to say OH I KNOW WHAT THE NEXT ONE IS!!!! Stop being such a f***ing jerk. This thread is bad enough with a thousand, "VRISFAGS" crap. Do you also go around spoiling new episodes of game of thrones for people? Jesus. I miss the old days of these threads.

You really think knowing the title/subject of an episode WITHOUT ANY OTHER INFORMATION is a spoiler?

I mean, they literally posted the link to the official site where they always post the upcoming ep. Are they "spoiling the surprise," too, you idiot?

How is that a spoiler when the show's official website announces what game is going to be featured in the next episode a full week before the said episode premiers?
