Was there ever an episode where Arino wrote a message on a Ghouls n Ghosts/Makaimura arcade cabinet?

>>12395258
That sounds vaguely familiar, but I'm not sure of the episode or the game he wrote on.

Which system will be featured first? They would probably go for Japan only titles, since they would have the most appeal, and be easier to license.

>>12396624
Still gotta pick 3DO, even if it takes them another decade.

>>12397567
Imagine if that really was the problem this whole time. They actually did lock it away at the end of that segment, lost access to the place where it was shot, Kan refused to shell out the yen to get them a new one.

>>12396624
>They would probably go for Japan only titles
They have a rule of only games released in Japan. Which is kinda stupid, because then you miss out on awesome stuff like StarTropics.

>>12396624
I'd go for one of the orphaned Sega IPs on the Xbox like JSRF or PD Orta.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible to capture video output from the handhelds without modding so that pretty much rules them out.

I wonder if there is anything that isn't terrible on the Loopy.

>>12398461
It's both authentic to the Japanese "retro" experience, and also significantly easier to license.

Hard to say, like I doubt games about fortune telling were all that popular, yet they managed to make a mini corner with those.

>>12403125
they made a whole mini-corner about fishing games, and then Producer Kan said it was substandard. But how I don't know since they seem to be hitting the bottom fo the barrel for mini-corners.

I do wonder if my now decade of asking for more bass fishing games has played some role in the creation of that segment. Probably no one else wanted those.

Just thought of some mini-corner ideas.

>The Price is Right

Arino and two other contestants have to bid on retro games and guess how much they cost.

>Fighting Corner

In the corner of a boxing ring, a coach gives Arino the winning moves which he has to then perform in various retro fighting games.

>Let's Make a Princess

Arino and Ogawa act as parents for their new princess as they go through Princess Maker 2

>Let's make friends in the Animal Village

Animal Forrest (N64) - Arino gets tips on how to make friends and play the game. The set is a dingy office.

>Let's make a farm

In full farmer regalia, Arino and an AD work through the basics of Harvest Moon (SFC) and try to construct a farm. The AD plays the game on off hours and they check in the farm over the course of several weeks.

Just pick one of the sim games and make that a mini-corner. They don't make good challenges and take like 60 hours if you want to do it right.

Due to the fact that most sports and racing games use licenes they can't ever be played. Instead these are more likely:

>Nekketsu sports
>Anime/manga sports
>Mario sports
>kart racing
>futuristic racing
>arcade racing.

Almost all racing and sports games are licensed which limits what can be played. The above mostly what you can get.

For instance, the only 3D racing game they've done is Choro Q because it's based on a brand of toy cars in Japan. They are never going to do Gran Turismo sadly. Ridge racer is a maybe.

Also, there's a bunch of sports games based on specific manga, such as the recent Dodgeball game.

It's game by game, but you have to check fi they use real car names and brands or not. I checked the PS1 Initial D game, and it looks like they use fantasy car names and no logos so it's good to go.

Also, I have never been sure what level of violence is okay or not in the show. I used to think they'd never do City Hunter since every bad guy you hit flies back while blood splurts out from them. But then they did Shin Shinobi Den, which has a similar effect.

Did you miss the Last Alert challenge where almost all of the enemies violently bleed out when they die.
And the protag bleeds out even more than that when they die.

The only parts they skipped in that game where the female enemies, but they don't bleed out, they just do an 'EEK' and fall to their knees and vanish.

The effect in Shin Shinobi Den is a bit mroe graphic: The guy is sliced in half, and blood shoots out until he vanishes. They even use live action characters.

I don't think they had age ratings back then in japan, so they're not going on that. I *think* the guideline is that if it's 2D, and not extremely graphic, some blood is okay. 3D games are a bit too "real".

>>12398532
>I'd go for one of the orphaned Sega IPs on the Xbox like JSRF or PD Orta.

That's the 2nd and 4th game in those series, and given that GCCX will often take a break of 4-8 years between games we might not get an Xbox game until 2035.

>>12405594
>1 golf game

They're missing a bunch of sports.

>Mario Golf
>Mario Tennis

It'll sorta work out with just those two series.

According to this there was only 153 Hockey games released in this time period. To be a good fit for the show, it needs to be
> Unlicensed
>developed and published in Japan.

They will go for American produced games, periodically, but mostly for games that are very well known or heavily requested (Earthworm Jim or Battletoads). They will never have the money to get an official NHL or NPB license.

The good news is that they're almost certainly going to do Winter Heat in a few years time. Perfect fit for the show, sequel to Decathlete, and no Olympic branding.

Blades of Steel, have him go right into Pro and if it looks like he'll fail, scale it back to college.
It's a konamii game too so shouldn't be that hard to get the rights.

>>12411115
In Japan, that one is Konamic Ice Hockey on the Disk System.

Probably not hard to get the rights, but Konami is a pain in the ass to deal with. They tend to charge more and have all kinds of annoying stipulations, like sometimes they can't show the instruction book or the box, can't give away the game as a prize, limited number of reruns, can't put it in a DVD set (or they want an unreasonable amount for the DVD licensing), etc.

I'll guess Sutte Hakkun.

>>12413381
Nice change of pace. I'm thankful for anything that isn't a Famicom side scrolling platformer. Got enough fo those to last a lifetime.

>>12413381
>Sutte Hakkun

I showed that game to my mom thinking I could show her a puzzle game she could have interest in around 2014, and she proceeded to say it's boring, that I'm stupid for even showing it to her and to immediately turn it off.

>>12413681
Based mom

>>12413681
You should force her to play Umihara Kawase instead, and tell her that Sutte Hakkun is still an option if she needs something more forgiving.

How many countries has Arino visited on the show?

>>12415495
South Korea, France (twice), USA, Cambodia, Vietnam, Russia

I think that's all of them. The rest of the trips have been in and around Japan.

>>12415576
And nothing since 2018. Time for another trip. Why not Korea? Maybe teipei? Or British Columbia?

>>12415576
guess china or taiwan would be too risky for now. Any arcades in ausland?

>>12415678
>2018
Russia was 2019.

>>12415678
Their first Korea trip was kind of a small thing way back before they started doing big travel specials, so maybe a return trip would be fun.

>>12416926
I would go:
>Teipei
>Vancouver
>Korea
>New York

>>12415576
>>12415678
Because all the trips had some sort of business aspect to them.
>South Korea - 50th episode and checking the state of gaming in SK where Arino interviewed e-sports players
>France 1 - To sell the rights of the show to an overseas groups
>USA - to advertise and get a feel for how much interest there was for Retro Game Master
>Cambodia - The fighting game tournament
>France 2 - He was invited to that big convention in Paris
>Vietnam - Only one that really didn't have an overt business objective.
>Russia - The Sonic 3 Orchestra concert
Hard to see Arino going overseas any time soon.

>>12417319
>Because all the trips had some sort of business aspect to them.

lol you're right. you're probably onto something. Members of the staff are going there anyways, so why not bring a camera crew and turn it into a full episode?

lol at the gremlin dunk

>>12417357
It entirely depends on their budget, which they normally don't have.
Don't forget in the Cannes's trip, Noda got left behind because Arino spent the money for his ticket to get more leg room.
