Random Stranger posted:I actually tried out a bunch of different file upload services when I did the April Fool's joke and I ran into issues with most of them. UploadKing last time I checked had a pretty restrictive file size. I hadn't heard of minus.com so I'll give them a whirl. minus is garbage as a filehost. It's alright as an image host though. Rapidgator is pretty good only problem is that free accounts can only download files under 500mb, Uploaded.to is for the most part pretty alright as well, only issue is the wait times between downloads. The rest are just plain bad, mediafire would be best but the files are too big. In the end, long live megaupload.

In the sword of musashi episode, as he's choosing what game to play next, it appears as if there was a fourth option they decided not to televise. Does anyone have any idea what that red cartridge is?

Does anyone have any fond memories of this one? I had some fun with the minigame "remake" of it in Tales of the Abyss, but it seemed to have tighter controls and hit detection than the original. Otherwise, I don't know, it seems like something that would appeal to people who enjoy roguelikes.

The Dragon Buster episode was amazing. Thanks again, SAGCCX! You guys are seriously one of the best things on the internet. The episode was another one I saw untranslated a long time ago, so I'm happy that I didn't remember how it ended.

Captain Tsubasa came out for the NES as Tecmo Cup Soccer, though a lot of stuff was changed. If you don't mind playing a dumb blonde dude, it's not too hard to find a copy of the the American version of that title.

Does anyone have any fond memories of this one? I used to buy randomly chosen famicom games from rising stuff, who have closed down now. Both Sword of Musashi and Dragon Buster are games I got this way. I only played a few minutes of Musashi but I didn't care for it at all. For some reason though I really like Dragon Buster. I agree that it's an awful game, but it's an awful game I'm very fond of for some reason.

It's pretty good, actually, and fully fan-translated, if a little tricky to find. Last time I tried playing it I got stuck trying to win the NetherWorld Cup.

As a Korean fan, I loved the Korea and Sword of Mushashi episodes. Zarigani's translations of the Korean parts were good for someone with no knowledge of Hangul(Korean). In the Sword of Mushashi Tamage, it was a near perfect translation. The name of the girl who played the arcade game with Arino was wrong. The last name was Lee, not Li. I know that this is not a big deal and does not deter the translation of the episode. Zarigani told me that figuring out the Korean names was hard in the Korean episodes as the are not similar to Japanese names. Great Job Zarigani. When Arino tried to say "I am tired." in Korean, I laughed that the kids understood him as his Korean was bad and that his pronounciation of it was terrible.

I'm just getting around to watching the 24-hour Lemmings documentary (ep 89), and at 22:27 into it I noticed a 3DO box in the background: (For those not familiar: the 3DO was manufactured a by few different companies according to a common hardware spec, such as the Panasonic version pictured.) So basically I'm just wondering if the 3DO has ever shown up in any of the non-translated episodes that I wouldn't have seen.

Someone said that the Super GnG episode featured 3DO in that segment where they show off obscure consoles. It's something I definitely want to see subbed (I feel like it was one of the episodes in the queue at some point??!)

The original name is Oni Tengu -- oni being a Japanese ogre, and tengu being a unique type of monster-god that's extremely prevalent in Japanese culture. Wiki explains it all: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengu You may have seen it in other video games. The most obvious example I can think of is Tengu Man from Mega Man 8. Tengus are often seen carrying a fan made of feathers or a big momiji (Japanese maple) leaf. They're both used to create powerful gusts of wind.

For anyone who needs a direct download of the Dragon Buster episode it is now available at http://depositfiles.com/files/ezvgyy1qa . FWIW I tried the other file hosts mentioned and they didn't work out. The first had a 100MB upload cap and the second had required registration.

Side note: having abstained from the apparent despoiling of the Kotak funded translations, I have no idea what translation issue you guys are in confusion over. Are they really that bad?

"Zako enemies" is mostly just incredibly redundant. It's pretty much referring to "small fry enemies", which does make sense, but it sounds redundant when you could just say "zako" on its own and context wouldn't really be lost... and it's sure not good at all in English untranslated. Whereas "Zaku enemies" makes me think of things with one eye. Of which a few games do have several...

Episode # 137 4/12/2012 Super Chinese I'm glad that season 16 is about to start soon. Can't wait to see the new AD. Anyone know more about this game? Looks like the famicom version. I think the western title is Kung Fu Heroes. joek0 fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Apr 5, 2012 |

Yeah, the game is Kung Fu Heroes. I've never played it but I've seen cheap copies around. I may grab one this weekend after I've finished up the next episode. What I'm really interested in is the new AD. Looks like the episode is also going to feature more stuff from the 40th Birthday special.

About the "Dance Now!" game (which yes, features Lina Inverse on the cover for some reason), the official info submission form is still up on the GCCX site. But I'm gonna guess they don't care about it anymore. More info on it has been available online for a while now on this Japanese page. To start the game, press A on the 2P controller. There's a list of 12 songs to choose from, but they have no idea how to start any of the dances. Kung Fu Heroes is a fun co-op game, but it's pretty difficult playing alone. I look forward to it.
