Huh, didn't realize that my pronunciation of "coupon" is apparently a "South" thing.

Also, perhaps it's my massive, uncoordinated gaijin tongue, but getting "ryu" into one syllable never feels as comfortable as "gyo" or "nya".

I think you're supposed to start it with the tip of your tongue touching the roof of your mouth?? It comes out sounding a bit like a mixture of D and R that way and it's easier, if that's right.

It could be that "coo-pon" and "toos-day" is a Midwestern thing. I just know that nobody in the area but my mom says it. I never thought of it as a thing until I was called out on it. I guess I was used to it, and it never was noticeable like how she says Mello-Yello or hash-browns.

You've asked, begged, and pleaded. Now it's finally here. Arino Versus Battletoads. Let the game begin!

This episode is brought to you be the talented zari-gani who handicaps herself when playing Battletoads by using an actual toad as her coop partner.

Great new subbed episode to watch. Can't wait for part 2. I can't wait to see the Project CX segment in part2. It is the one with ROB the Robot. I love Arino trying to play a game with ROB.

Anyone pumped for the GCCX in USA DVD to hit Japan this Friday(8/31). Hope those that get it post some pics of the set and some screen shots.

Is the cake made mostly out of rhubarb? If not, it's not an authentic Portal themed cake. :colbert:

Beating Battletoads was a harrowing experience that I'll never forget. I can't wait to see Arino's reaction.

Okay, surprise party is over with now so here's what someone made for me:



That's a metal plate with the GCCX logo for the front of my car (don't laugh too hard at it; I've been driving it for nearly ten years and it's long since been paid for).

If your rear tag isn't "KACHO ON" I will be very disappointed.

I cannot believe that Arino enjoys the Bike segment of stage 3. I hated that part of the game and never cleared it in my childhood. I beat stage 3 about 20 years later. I still have yet to beat this game. Props to people including Arino to beating this fustrating game.

The JP version of battle toads is a little bit easier. The biggest change is 5 lives per continue instead of 3, but the timing of the bike level was eased up on a little bit.

IIRC theres no jump ramps either, just regular ramps.

Everything else should be the same. The snake level was as awful as I remember it being

I've never seen much of Battletoads outside of the first few levels, but holy poo poo that is a pretty brutal game. I think it makes the later parts of Ninja Gaiden look easy.

Once again, thank you SAGCCX for another awesome sub. :)

As another goon who lives in a state where you're required to have a front license plate (California to be exact), I am jealous of that you get to pimp out your GCCX plates. :argh:

I am about 80% certain there was an extra blue swerving obstacle in the US version of Turbo Tunnel. It came in a bit after the first three but went much faster. I was waiting for it to show up in the episode but it never did.

Still, it's kind of cool how there's so much content in this game that they felt like it needed two episodes to cover everything.

Am I crazy or is the female announcer for the arcade trip different in this episode? Her voice seems lighter and more enthusiastic, less authoritative and dignified.


Also, I never noticed this as a kid; Level 2 - Wookie Hole. So much lost childhood snickering.

Yuuko Takeda, the regular arcade trip narrator for the first fourteen seasons and the Catch a Copy host, stopped doing the show in season 15 for maternity leave. She still isn't back a year later so it seems unlikely that she's going to resume those duties.

Aw, that's too bad. I like the whole slightly disapproving older authority figure tone in her narration. It had a nice contrast to the overly dramatic Producer Kan's narration.

Why did I go to bed early? Why didn't I check this thread before I left for the day? At least I'll have something to look forward to watching later. And I still can't beat that bike level today, even after all of these years. But a couple of my friends can beat that rage inducing ramp hell in co-op without losing more than a life or two total. When they showed me what the snow level looks like, a part of me died, and was then subsequently reborn in that moment.

Because when you see this thread have 20+ new replies even though you just checked it earlier today, you can't help but get excited at the possibility to watch an Japanese old man play yet another soul crushing hard Famicom (or other system) game for another hour.
