Kotaku Exclusively Brings Japanese Cult Hit Retro Game Master to the United States
NEW YORK – Gawker Media's influential gaming website Kotaku will be the first media outlet in the United States to air a U.S. version of Japan's wildly successful cult television hit Retro Game Master.
The show, known in Japan as Game Center CX, features comedian Shinya Arino playing Japan's most popular video games – a perfect fit for Kotaku. Kotaku, in partnership with RGM, will feature new episodes made for United States viewers weekly starting in June.

Peter Block's A Bigger Boat helped secure the rights for RGM from Yuko Shiomaki's pictures department. Yuko Shiomaki's pictures department acted as international representative on behalf of rights holder Fuji Television, Japanese international sales agent STYLEJAM, and Producer Tsuyoshi Kan of Gascoin.

Says Block "Watching RGM is addictive...I knew we had something special when we couldn't stop watching our first episodes, and when people would stop for a quick peek and stay for 30 minutes. It's Iron Chef for the Gamers."

Eric Spiegelman of Jetpack Media brokered the deal between Gawker Media and A Bigger Boat.

Retro Game Master will be featured exclusively on Kotaku every Thursday night, posting at 8pm EST, starting June 23, 2011.

Anybody care about this?

Yeah, I don't think this is going to get a ton of viewers. But I still hope it does well enough for them to continue on with additional seasons. I'll be sure to "tune in" every Thursday, even though I've already seen all of this stuff.

We're not subbing any DVD episodes or extended cuts, only TV broadcasts.  Don't want to promote piracy!  For such a niche series, having people import the DVDs can only help generate interest.

What is Game Center CX anyway?

Arino, a comedian who is absolutely terrible at games, is given a challenge to clear [game] by [date]. They're usually old Famicom or SFC games, but sometimes they throw some other things into the mix (like Steel Battalion :bow). His struggle is always fun to watch, especially when he's playing a really hard or shitty game.
Title: Re: Game Center CX TV Series Debuts in the US
Post by: iconoclast on June 18, 2011, 11:09:02 PM
They're kinda similar, but AVGN is more of a scripted character, and he tries to review the games he plays and such. Arino just tries to beat the games by the deadline they give him.

I like both shows, but I'd take GC CX over AVGN any day. Especially since GC CX doesn't have any awful skits like AVGN usually does.

I've actually been to some of the arcades he visits, if they're not too far out of the way then I'll try and stop in if it seems interesting.  There's a retro arcade near where I live which I also hit up every once in awhile.  It's nice to play a game that actually rewards your skill and lets you play longer, nowadays you could be the best player ever but they'll find a way to limit your playing time so you keep pump in those 100yen coins!

Those country town arcades are pretty impressive, it's like going back to the mid-90s.  Back when it was actually feasible to open your own place since games didn't cost 2mil yen.

Title: Re: Game Center CX TV Series Debuts in the US
Post by: iconoclast on June 24, 2011, 10:03:08 AM
The narrator wasn't very good, but I didn't find him annoying or anything. The much larger problem is that they cut out all of the non-game bits... unless this episode for some reason didn't have any to begin with. That's pretty terrible.


Plus the translation was a little weird from time to time. At one point the narrator refers to the basic enemies as "zako" enemies. It's appropriate, but how many people will get that instead of being confused? Just seemed weird to me.
Title: Re: Game Center CX TV Series Debuts in the US
Post by: magus on June 24, 2011, 10:09:54 AM
from what i understand all these bits are taken from DVD and the various other bit aren't featured on it so it's going to be the challenge's only

anyway it seems another subbing group decided to sub those,they just released episode number 80 which is kirby adventure

and it's a quite boring episode because kirby adventure is incredibly easy

Fantasy Zone :bow

The Shadow Land episode was good too. Makes me wish the Gawker episodes weren't butchered. It's nice to see that Shadow Land doesn't allow you to continue after dying as well. That's how all arcade ports should be done. (with a practice mode/level select for convenience) :)

I figured it's subbed, but having Kotaku actually do the episode means more people get to see the insanity of it.

I've played the game before, I want to see him sit there for 60 minutes doing nothing with the game to advance.
Title: Re: Game Center CX TV Series Debuts in the US
Post by: magus on June 28, 2011, 01:48:28 PM
i doubt kotaku would pick it based on

1) on the first season the challenge segment is much much shorter so it wouldn't fill the whole time slot
2) it's a japan only game

though there is a chance,so far it seems they are picking random releases from dvd (ninja gaiden was from dvd 3 and fantasy zone is from dvd 5) and takeshi challenge is in dvd 2

I'm not helping out with any episodes that are out on DVD, so I didn't do anything with MM3.  For some stupid reason they're only subbing DVD episodes which is distinguished mentally-challenged when there are countless episodes that haven't been released yet.

The Tokimemo episode was my choice and I think it came out pretty well!

The Tokimeki episode was pretty good, I watched it last night before going to bed. And I forgot I had already seen the Fantasy Zone episode in Japanese... what are the odds that one of the few raw episodes I watched would be chosen for subs. :(

I'm looking forward to the Clock Tower episode as well. I like it when they do lesser known games like that instead of the classics like Mega Man and such. Plus Clock Tower is awesome.

The Bonanza Bros. episode was kinda crappy. What Arino said at the end is true, "If there's no tension, then I don't feel satisfaction once I beat it" or something along those lines. I hope Kotaku starts picking better episodes... But I know they want to do popular games to attract more viewers, so I guess it can't be helped.

i liked the end where he ends up falling through the pithole and he has to redo the whole game as a result :lol

and i don't think they are aiming at more popular game episodes,heck if they were trying to do that then they would have picked ocarina and be done with it

though they certainly are straying for games that are japanese only or too obscure

Cool, I'll watch it in a bit. After watching the episodes that have been subbed lately, it really drives home how lame the kotaku episodes are. The extra segments (especially the tamage) add a lot to the show and they help a lot with the pacing.

Maybe they'll get it right for season 2.

there probably won't even be a season 2

the mighty bomb jack episode is a two parter but kotaku only translated the first part and declared the challenge over,they are more incompetent than a storm trooper with a red shirt >:(

i asked in a forum if the subbers at SA are going to sub part 2,i wonder if they are going to hear my plea

I'm glad that Kotaku picking the series up seems to have made it a lot more popular, so we're getting subs regularly now instead of one episode every 3-12 months.

Today's Kotaku episode is Atlantis no Nazo / Mystery of Atlantis... another one that's already been subbed. Lame. I still have one or two episodes to catch up on, so I'll just download one of them instead.


btw, the Mighty Bomb Jack episode was awesome.

Post by: iconoclast on August 09, 2011, 04:35:19 AM
This week's Kotaku episode is........ S.O.S. / Septentrion. AKA the episode that SA just subbed. D'oh.

The 53 Stations of Tokkaido episode was great. The Zelda episode was boring. I don't like it when he plays easy games, unless they're story driven like Out of This World or Flashback.

the kotaku episodes i can send them to you,but surprisingly a lot of kotaku episodes already got fansubbed in the first place

Post by: magus on August 14, 2011, 06:16:14 AM
there is a new goon fansub,the korea trip as mentioned a while ago

EDIT: 15 minutes of this episode are dedicated to starcraft player interviews,WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT?!?!?!?

one of the guys interviewed says something along the line "nothing will ever dethrone starcraft" i guess the announcement of starcraft 2 did really rock their world :lol

Title: Re: Game Center CX TV Series Debuts in the US
Post by: iconoclast on August 14, 2011, 02:00:04 PM
The Starcraft pro interviews were the most boring part of the episode. The one part at the end when he showed the guy his figure was pretty good though.

But overall, the episode was still great. I don't think it was as good as the North Trip episode, but it was still awesome. I hope they sub more like it (are there even any more like it?).

he takes a trip to the cannes film festival to publicize retrogame master (this was well before kotaku picked the episodes) i actualy saw the episode without sub and i thought it was really funny how he would stop to tell random people "JE T'AIME" (i love you) i was surprised to see him pull the same trick in this episode :lol

subber said they aren't going to pick it for now because they don't want to translate 2 trip episodes too close to each other

I use this site for the sub links now. http://www.gaki-no-tsukai.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2653

Anyway, the Contra episode was okay. I haven't played the NES Contra since I was a kid, so I don't know the exact differences, but based on the arcade version, the difficulty of that game is blown way out of proportion. It's actually not hard at all to 1cc, let alone complete with continues and stage select. But maybe t he NES version is harder, I dunno.

in each episode there is a segment where they go visit an arcade or a game shop and just dick around for a while....

in this episode they visit a shop that sells ULTRA RARE WESTERN GAMES and arino gets to pick "playboy the mansion" without having any idea what the game is about,sadly he doesn't play it then he plays the korean version of god of war without having any idea about what's happening

it was like watching in a horrible twisted alternative reality :o

anyway there is a new episode abound,super mario 64 part 1,i guess they are going to sub the rest of season 4 so expect the next 2 episodes to be super mario 64 part 2 and kid icarus

Why would they do another quiz show? Those probably take the longest to sub because of all the text and unlike the first one that had questions about love hotels and hentai, this one wasn't even funny. Other than when Arino tried to hook the prize shelf with the crane machine, and then they put up a sign saying if you hook the prize shelf you don't get a prize. :lol

Golgo 13 sounds pretty rad, though.

each segment (except the arcade one which is in every season) is season exclusive and since season 9 is done,yeah the manga cafe segment are gone for good

in case anybody want to knows about the segments,here's the complete list of each segment show trough the program
http://www.crunkgames.com/?p=87&page=2#corner

for the curious currently the season that got all the episode translated are

sort of season 1 (they removed every interview but translated all the arino challenge segment)
sort of season 2 (like season 1 but they left the interview intact for the more important people like hideo kojima)
season 4
season 9

season 5 and 6 are only missing a few episode's so it wouldn't shock me if one of the next episode came from those

season 5 is missing ghoul's n ghost and princess tomato in salad kingdom
season 6 is missing only bio miracle bokutte upa

The Bio Miracle episode was great. Best challenge since the Mighty Bomb Jack episodes easily.

Never played that game either, but it looks great as well. Konami used to be so good. :(

another episode is out,this time is the quest of ki,this one has a quite big history with game center cx like bombjack... it's kinda like a platformer starring the damsel of distress of tower of druaga (another pretty infamous namco game,google for a guide of the game if you don't know why) but the game is pretty hard to control,if you jump too high,you hit the ceiling with your head and ends up falling down like an anvil (usualy on a bunch of spikes) so it gives lot and lot of pains to arino

Nah, I guess it's just one of the episodes I watched in Japanese (because Bonk is too awesome to wait for subs). I think that's the last of them then.

The Bonk episode has a recap of the Legend of Ki special, which is probably why they released all three episodes at the same time (more or less).

Title: Re: Game Center CX TV Series Debuts in the US
Post by: magus on December 16, 2011, 07:55:08 AM
apparently the japanese version is easier

Quote
There are too many differences in the Famicom version of Battletoads to list here, sirkakkarot, but I will try!

Here we go:

-Player(s) starts off with more lives (five I believe) and also has more continues, but not an unlimited amount.

-Most bosses appear to take fewer hits to beat.

-Level 3 has easier jumps and the overall speed also seems to have been altered for the better.

-Some spikes have been completely removed in Level 6, making some particular snake jumps a lot easier.

-The narrow fire gaps that the toad must pass through in Level 7 have been widened. The Sega Genesis version has the same thing.

-Some spikes have been removed in Level 9.

-The rats are a lot slower in Level 10.

-The orb is slower in Level 11.

-Level 11 can be cleared with two players.

-Some platforms don't disappear as quickly in the final level and the toad starts off a lot closer to the death point, if he happens to die.

aaaaaaaaaaaand after almost a whole month,a new episode is out,but it's not translated by the goons team,it's translated by the guys who did the first 2 seasons
this time the game in question is kato-chan and ken-chan,a pc engine platformer based on 2 japanese commedian,there was a western release but they removed all the reference to the comedians and added generic characters instead

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGKMzof8joY

tv-nihon went for a chronological order back when they were translating so if they keep releasing episode following that,you can expect these next

    #11 J.J. & Jeff
    #12 Takeshi’s Castle
    #13 Tokimeki Memorial
    #14 Famicom Jump
    #15 Doki-Doki Panic
    #16 Hi no Tori
    #17 Super Mario World (Pt. I)
    #18 Super Mario World (Pt. II)
    #19 Milon’s Secret Castle
    #20 The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

so the next one would be takeshi's castle and then famicom jump (assuming they jump tokimeki memorial as it already got subbed)

Title: Re: Game Center CX TV Series Debuts in the US
Post by: magus on January 30, 2012, 05:26:42 PM
the bomberman episode was kinda boring but that's because bomberman is an incredibly repetitive game because arino tries to pull it off,he makes some horrible plays,bother his assistant and cracks a joke or 2,still in the last 20 minutes they play multiplayer bomberman and that's really the highlight of the episode

but the good news is that another new episode out,this time it's takeshi's castle,takeshi's castle is a pretty infamous japanese shows where contestant jumped around like idiots dodging obstacles and ending up diving in mud more often than not (the concept was later taken on by american to make "wipeout")

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fj2LeXF3zg0

the game is played with a power pad,so arino get tired a lot,which make the episode even funnier

another episode is out,this time is densha de go,as a kid i used to buy a console magazine called consolemania and they had a section called "MAD IN JAPAN" that featured mostly weird and wacky jappy games like derby stallion (a horse racing simulator) and densha de go,so what's densha de go? it's a train operator simulator,you have to speed up... brake at the right moment,can't you just feel the excitement out of my words? the most amusing thing about the game is probably that it comes with a controller which is shaped like a train transmission system

the funny thing is that before going legs up densha de go was actualy one of the succesfull taito IP so they made a lot of them
here's a list

i tought you would be old enough to be married oscar....

uh... anyway,no new episode so why i'm bumping this? because someone called discotek bought the rights to kotaku episodes and is making a dvd out of it,with both the english and japanese announcer and also new subs,no actual release date other than "summer" but here's the press release

Quote
Retro Game Master (Gamecenter CX) DVD collection coming soon! Will contain 12 episodes that were shown on Kotaku. Two audio tracks. One with the english narration and one will the full Japanese language and English subs. The Tamage and other segments can't be licensed for various reasons. Extras will be hard to come by. Licensing Japanese TV is a complicated process. We're trying for a summer release. Depends on if we get the artwork soon enough. I'm hoping for July but it might be more like August. We will be retranslating the subs with someone more familiar with the series. There is a possibility for more episodes in the future but it really depends on the success of this set. If it sells well then we will try and get more episodes. I personally love this show so much that I basically took a chance with it because of how addicted I am to watching it!

apparently the translator redoing the subs for the dvd is the one that's also doing all of the fansubs :lol

the birthday episode was kinda lame,they cut all the challenge and just left a bunch of segments like sakurai and yuji hori giving him message's,they play a totaly goofy anime inspired song to him tough :lol
i can't help but have the burning feeling the only reason the fantranslator decided to translate this it's because her fanart is featured on the episode

there is also an episode of another show that feature arino as a guest star and he play stuff so it's sorta center cx if you want to double

well yeah but with the lemmings challenge they left bit of the actual challenge here and there in another summary....

anyway,there is a new episode,this time it's street fighter 2010,this one got talked by a bunch of internet "celebrities" (if we can talk about them like that) like the AVGN and the spoonyone both of which have described the game as an horrible piece of unplayable dreck,so this gotta be fun

seems the next fantranslated episode are going to be rainbow island and wrecking crew so that the whole season 12 get's wrapped up when the DVD release hit and we get the shiren episode too,wrecking crew is apparently a special episode since it's episode number 100

Post by: magus on June 19, 2012, 07:26:42 AM
aaaaaaaaand rainbow island is out,i have fond memories of this one since it got a fairly decent port on the amiga

rainbow island is the sequel of bubble bobble,it's probably not as popular as bubble bobble so some people might not know it but it got it's fair share of ports,for having such a cutesy look it's a pretty evil game,the game features 10 world but the last 3 worlds can only be accessed if you get all the magical trinket in the previous 7,the game let you credit feed EXCEPT in the last 3 world,that's right,after you spent like a bajillion of credit trying to get to the ending,the game just trips you near the end,best of all right after you defeat the final final boss,the game throws lava at you,sure the lava move extremely slow but if you touch it,it's an instant game over no matter how many life or credit you have,so you get booted at the start screen 2 seconds before the ending,truly making it the ultimate jerk move ever pulled off in a videogame

one of the world is also based on arkanoid and feature's doh as a boss,the last 3 world are all based on other taito games (namely fairyland stories,darius and of course the last world is based on the original bubble bobble) in the NES version (the one arino plays) they removed 2 of the extra 3 worlds and changed two of the original seven worlds,one is based on kiki kaikai and the other is still based on darius but the boss is different,tough i doubt arino will go that far :smug

did you know there was a third game to the series? it's called parasol stars and feature human bub and bob using umbrella's as weapon,the music is also super cheerful

i love when magus tries to educate us like we're not all older than him and equally well-versed in retro games if not moreso

writing "here's a new episode,go get it" is boring :P

tell a personal story about the game or something then

i mean shit, it's bubble bobble.  the forum admin here has bubby and bobby tattooed on his left and right ball respectively.  half the forum are amigatards and rainbow island was one of the few actual good games on that hunkojunk.  we knows the bubbles and also the bobbles.

:meeble

oooohhh i just tought the game was obscure enough that a little bit of trivia would have made thing more interessing,i mean it's not like i'm trying to describe freaking contra!

uh anyway,wrecking crew episode is out,this one too it's a somewhat obscure/somewhat known (see as i have to hear oscar ranting at me again :smug) puzzle game from nintendo featuring mario before mario whoring became common place,it's mostly about mario destroying walls with an hammer while trying to dodge enemies... personaly i gave it a spin and i left unimpressed but i guess it was popular enough cause it got a sequel for the snes called wrecking crew 98 which actualy plays more like a classic vs puzzle game

it also features the most fabulous nintendo character ever :-*

I FUCKING LOVE WRECKING CREW

I'm a huge fan of the "black box" series, Balloon Fight and Clu Clu Land are up there too but Wrecking Crew is my #1.

aaaaaaaaaaand another episode is out,this time it's an episode from the first season!

the first season of game center cx is special because before they decided the show to be about arino challenging games it was mostly about interviews with famous japanese developers,this episode is the capcom one so arino goes interviewing keiji inafune,hiroyuki kobayashi and atsushi inaba (who shows arino the original phoenix wright design doc)

these episode have a challenge segment too but it's only 10 minutes long,these got translated a long time ago by another group (tv-nihon) but in case you missed them the first time,now it's your chance chance to watch them again,the challenge in this episode is none other than steel battalion which i guess make this the only xbox game to be ever featured on the show

man first season episode are sort of boring,i mean i love phoenix wright and as such appreciate knowing more stuff about it but in the end it just feels like i've just watched a random guy flaps his mouth rather than learning anything interessing if that makes any sort of sense... doesn't surprise me the group that translated the first episode's decided to cut all the interviews

uh anyway the reason i'm bumping this it's because there has been ANOTHER episode,i'm starting to have trouble catching up
oh but here's the catch,there is no challenge in this one,it's just arino taking a trip tough tokyo,osaka and fukuoka so he can promote the sequel of that game center cx game

new episode is out,this time it's bikkuriman world which is basicaly just wonderboy reskinned with bikkuriman character,what's bikkuriman you ask? apparently it's a whole IP born out of stickers found in candies,so everytime arino find a new bikkuriman character,he attach the sticker related to that character to the board behind him

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikkuriman

as for those 2 guys who might not know about wonderboy

New episode, in this one Arino plays a crappy old licensed RPG, Famicon Jump, that's full of past and current Jump characters (circa 1988). So lots of Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, and Fist of the North Star.

After visiting Korea, France, and America, Arino's next foreign special is Cambodia. This should be good.
