I thought Pixels was okay... Candidate for best eye-catcher ever. zari-gani posted:It can go either way. Using the kanji would make it too obvious, so they'd opt to use katakana for a hint. Also, the King text is never in kanji. It was two OO s after "Con" so, "コントラ/Con-to-ra" fits well. Kakaricho fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Feb 17, 2017 |

If it's kana, it could be Komb- or Komp- also right? Could be this piece of crap which I would love because I played this a lot for some reason as a kid Stefan Prodan fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Feb 17, 2017 |

Isn't it just that marumaru is used a lot in those kinda "hiding info in a question" things? I feel like I see that a lot in quiz segments of variety shows.

I remember hearing one of the developers say Nintendo of Japan was constantly pestering them to add or remove a finger from each of Conker's hands due to the four-finger/yakuza stigma but they didn't do it in the end.

That is so bizarre but so is the result. Farting aliens are now actually more yakuza by cutting off a digit.

The Pizza Pop episode was pretty great. I have a question about the famionaire segment. They keep using street fighter images for the second question. Is there any particular reason why they keep using them, since they don't appear to be questions about street fighter? The famionaire segment is hilarious. I love when Arino does the phone a friend life line for a question involving pictures. Or cutting to the audience of one, who happens to be holding what looks like a 4 port video switch. And of course Kibe's "tension building" facial expressions for the third question. cubeboy fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Feb 19, 2017 |

If I recall correctly, it's because they make puns using their names that will be totally fun to translate. Edit - The most recent one asked "Which of these numbers matches the added-together series number for Dragon Quest games released on the Famicom?"

However, there is a thirty lives code in the Famicom version and a stage select so my guess is after letting him have some initial struggles, they take mercy on him. First by letting him just stage select, and then if he's really pressing for time they'll let him use the thirty lives code. That'll make it a ten hour clear.

I've always thought it's way harder, although it might be because I'm so familiar with the original. Still, there's no way Arino makes it to the time limit, at least if they won't let him use the code.

Super C doesn't have some of the real cruel moves that Contra has, particularly on later levels.

This is all I can reveal for now (and Kan announced it at the book signing back in December which is why I think it's safe for me to say) but "Game no Naka" will be released here in English, and I'm translating it.
