Every time they talk about Retro Game Challenge I have an overwhelming desire to play Star Prince. Also, why is Goku so goddamn happy all the time?

Random Stranger posted:I do find it kind of amusing that two of the worst Famicom games are based on Journey to the West. There's so many bad games that have come out of that novel and it's a tradition that continues to this day... If you're talking about Enslaved, I'll have you know that that's a perfectly ok game.

Arino acted pretty much how I would react if Satoru freakin' Iwata just walked into the room.

...The gently caress did I just watch? Manzai's so weird to me, the only real "comedy duo" that I can think of that's popular in the west are the Sklar brothers.

Erwin Tuwonwon posted:There aren't a ton of modern double acts, that's true. You have your occasional Hard 'n Phirm or Flight of the Conchords, but most comedy duos these days are just in movies, Nick Frost & Simon Pegg and Will Ferrell & John C Reilley. Though, if we include them we need Wilder & Pryor and Belushi & Aykroyd and... Eh, fine, you're right. I remember thinking a while ago that Japan seems to be stuck 80 years in the past in terms of comedy development. I think this is my first time seeing a big burst of manzai all at once, before most of what I've seen is Game Center, batsu games, and Beat Takeshi.

I guess they can't one-hit kill you during their invincibility frames? Either that or the game liked Arino way more than any other game in the show's history.

MUTEkI posted:Depends on how literally you mean "before" by because Sonic & Knuckles is basically the exact same thing (though, obviously, in 1994 was a much later development). Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles were both full-sized carts, what he's describing is a minicart that can only be played on the main game, I think.

Mister Chief posted:Those aren't arcade cabinets, they are MVS cabinets. The games came on big rear end cartridges and most machines had multiple slots in them so a player could choose from a number of different games. Because of the low cost of these machines and the ease of changing games they were very popular worldwide and the most popular non-fighting game series on the MVS was the Metal Slug series. There's no real mystery. The shithole midwest town I grew up in had nothing even approaching an arcade, and the closest thing was a Pizza Hut that had a MVS machine. It had Metal Slug X and Aerofighters.

Son Ryo posted:Oh no, don't get me wrong, I'm not defending TV-N's subs in any way, I'm just complaining about SA-Subs' known practice of overwriting the Japanese story and text on screen with its American equivalent. They're translating. The whole point is to make it so english-speaking viewers know what's going on, and since no english-speakers have played Rockman but they've played Megaman, that's what they go with.

Aku posted:The SNES version had the worst graphics, and overall felt slower than the other ports in my opinion. The 32X and Jaguar played better, but you're right that the SNES beat them both out in terms of music. That's literally the only good thing anyone has ever said about the 32x port of Doom.

GO COLLECT SOME FAIRIES ARINO AAAAAADr. Psychobabble posted:It might be because a lot of the game was skipped. Specially for the second day. Getting help during the challenge is usually fun because Arino is still there to comment, but when he's just handed everything on silver platter... On the other hand, he took too long to use the hammer on Shadow Link because he probably didn't even know he had a hammer.
