That pink one of 8-bit Arino playing a game is so :3:...

Speaking of which, did 8-bit Arino ever appear on the show outside of the intro to the US trip episode?

There are clearly too many colors at once to be 8-bit. :colbert:

I actually asked about how to clear the karaoke part on romhacking.net as soon as I heard, and the hacker answered me with this:

KingMike from romhacking.net posted:

Use what I'm calling the "silent input" mode.
Press Down+A on controller 2 right before the karaoke segment, then attempt to push A on controller 2 to the beat of the song. I guess. I'm not sure if that's what I was doing or I got lucky and passed it.

So I guess that's how?

Your secret identity is now blown! Amazing work as always though, and it's excellent to see them being so accepting of the international fanbase in general. I imagine at least someone on staff is going "how the hell are they even watching?", but they're letting everyone know we are anyway.

They should just start getting you do do art for every event.

The preview video is an interesting curiosity. Reminds me of a similar short animation made for promoting Valis:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TE_g94Jp7g


Thanks for subbing and distributing it, stuff like that is often lost/forgotten to time. Also, the music takes me back to playing Namco X Capcom, as it would play every time a scene focused on characters from that game (which was fairly often).

The comments don't seem to know if it's supposed to end like that either, so no clue.

I'm pretty sure that Sunsoft now owns everything Telenet made, it'd be nice if they'd package the games together and sell it on a disc or something. Or maybe make a new one on XBLA etc, preferably one that pretends it's still the 90s and has all the old anime design intact.

There was somewhat recent cellphone game that looked kind of nice...whoa, when the hell did this happen?

"Mugen Senshi Valis Complete Plus - Legend Of A Fantasm Soldier:
2011 (24.11): PC CD ROM Windows (98/XP compatible Vista & 7)"

Wow, I need to look into this!

Yeah just before the guy was all "very original" I was already sarcastically saying "sooo original Arino". Why am I getting bad Japanese mascot jokes better than actual Japanese people?

Hell my main reason for knowing of the guy is silly youtube videos.

I only know Matsumoto from Absolutely Tasty but I like his style. He's kind of the Moe figure of the group. (To not be confused with moe)

As good as he is in those, he's even better in a lot of his other work. Just youtube "downtown matsumoto" or something and spend hours enjoying his comedic stylings.

Next season, Arino will play nothing but games that never saw the light of day in Japan (like StarTropics) and you'll be the AD for that season since you're fluent in both English and Japanese?

That would be endlessly awesome.

Much like the DVD cover. It's nice to see a company actually embrace their "how are they watching this?" fanbase on some level for a change.

They should totally make you into a sprite character on the show, after all you've done for it in the US. Honestly without the stuff you did I doubt most of the English-speaking fans would know of it.

Kibe's Gameboy collection is pretty bad for that segment, if you ask me. It seems like most of the games he has are parts of a series that has color versions already. Donkey Kong for the Gameboy is literally the game they made to show off the Super Gameboy's colorization powers! Segment is still funny, but I think it'd be a lot more interesting and the concept would carry more weight if they actually brought out weird Gameboy exclusives. Maybe I'm just being :spergin: here.

I wasn't really looking forward to watching Pilotwings as I stayed up and watched most of that live version from awhile back, but wow, did he somehow get a different set of stages or something? I totally don't remember seeing the snow stage during the live at all, and I remember hours and hours on some nighttime military stage...maybe I just can't remember it because of the duration of the same stuff while I was half asleep.
