Hey friends... despite the AV, I've been out of the GCCX watching game for about a decade now and it looks like the OP is about that old as well.

Quick question: where are new translated episodes posted in 2023?

The files are over on nyaa.si. Announcements of new episodes eventually make their way to this thread, or you can follow the social media accounts of the active translation groups: https://twitter.com/LSKachoSubs and https://twitter.com/CanyonGoose

Since I've given up on that hellsite I mostly get my announcements from here.

Worth noting that Sakurai's side of the crossover will be fully translated. He mentioned on Twitter that it was originally going to be JP only, but the 8-4 team who do the English versions of his videos insisted. So that's less work for the assorted scouts and poultry hanging around here...

Sakurai seems to have wider tastes in games than I expected. I knew he was a buff even beyond the usual aspects that you'd expect from someone who has a decades long career as a game designer, but Atari vector stuff is a deep cut for Japanese players.

I noticed for other games they were playing Hamster's Arcade Archive series, but they didn't say how they were playing Asteroids. I suspect it's off of Atari 50, but that hasn't been released in Japan which means that Sakurai imported it...

Edit: Turns out Atari 50 was released in Japan, just not physically. So he didn't go through that many hoops at least.

I vaguely remember people complaining about the bad Japanese translation, but "Atari" and "bad Japanese translation" have been synonymous since the early 80s so at least it's canon!

I think that's a different person who just re-encoded everything from the original pack (as well as subsequent releases that aren't in the original pack) to be lower quality in order to reduce the file sizes.

That user does have a lot of re-encodes in the mix, not all of them, but worth noting if you'd rather the original files (and what we'd prefer). In most cases he does tend to prefer hard subs as opposed to soft subs so maybe that has merit if you're watching on older technology.

There are some additional files in their pack where they've recombined the US Disc*tek DVD subbed challenges and the SA-subbed segments back into broadcast order and format (albeit with shifting subs styles).

A video from the Fan Club revealed that Arino, etc., knew about the first two games being remade as far back as January, before the 20th Anniversary Press Conference even. Arino wanted to something like "Boy, they really should port those games to the Switch!" at said press conference.

This led to one of my new favorite lines: Kan - "Abe will punch you for that. I won't hit you, but Abe will."

I'm gonna assume that you're thinking of Naoki Yamada, the guy who showed up for approximately ten seconds during the Takeshi's Challenge episode and was never seen again. It seems as though they've tried to memory hole him. At an event for the first DVD-Box release, Kan said that he left after an unspecified dispute with Be-WILD (GCCX's production company before Gascoin was formed in late 2008). I believe his name disappeared from the end credits after the fourth or fifth episode, and he's not listed in the credits for DVD-Box 2, despite the fact that Takeshi's Challenge is on that DVD. Toujima is usually referred to as the first AD.
Since then, Yamada's been mentioned a few times in passing. At an event from a while ago, when GCCX staff members were asked who the worst ADs were, most of the staff picked Tsuruoka, but Abe picked Yamada and added that he "fails as a human being."
Yamada is also mentioned during the mini corner in episode 237 when Toujima shows up and introduces himself as the first AD. Arino says "Are you just gonna pretend that Yamada doesn't exist?"
Yamada's also seen in the background of a scene in the intro video for the full Makuhari Messe special, which features some behind the scenes footage from the Takeshi's Challenge episode.
Lastly, he was mentioned in a Youtube video of Arino, Abe, and Fujimoto just talking.

He's not given a number or even a "The Orignal" name like Toujima.

https://imgur.com/YBb6G8Q


Kan asks if there's anything Arino remembers from the first episode. Arino replies "Everyone says Toujima was the first AD, but there was someone before him, but none of the current staff know about him, just the original members." Kan says "Yamada?", and Arino tells a story about going out to dinner after a shoot with him and Kobayashi, where Yamada said he would do his best, only to be gone the next episode.

Why exactly is never said, and likely never will be.
