it's fairly easy to find AV-modded ones on ebay, too.BocoDragon said:Watching this again makes me realize how much I want an OG Famicom!
I actually have an AV Famicom, but gimmie the off-white and azuki bean red, son!!
hutna said:Wow this video http://vimeo.com/1244534 shows just how much better the "official" version Fuji TV was shopping around was.
Prophane33 said:WOW! Now THAT is how it's done. Great fonts,translated text, original soundtrack, announcer sounds good, accurate well timed subtitles. How the heck did THAT turn into the version we saw on Kotaku.
Dunno if this would be helpful but maybe searching "something awful game center" would help.Downhome said:I must me totally out of touch, but this version is my introduction to this entire thing. So hopefully it will do for many others like it has done for me. I now want to find some subbed versions of the original and watch them all. Although, sadly, I haven't been able to find any of them.

www.mediafire.com/bh7812
It's in the Retro Game Challenge Episodes folder, which is where I'll upload them to every week. It's a mp4, 50 MB. The quality of the mp4 is so so was just trying to help get it out as quick as I could. Mediafire is VERY lenient so I doubt they will pull it. I have a ton of other stuff on my account that has been there for a while and hasn't been pulled.
Enjoy!
It's "kachou" or section chief.Cow Mengde said:Guys, wtf is a cock choke or whatever they call him in the dub?
Yeah, I was kind of surprised by that too.Busaiku said:It's "kachou" or section chief.
Seems weird it wasn't translated, cause there are perfectly good equivalents in English.
wtf, why is this so much better than the one in the OP?hutna said:Wow this video http://vimeo.com/1244534 shows just how much better the "official" version Fuji TV was shopping around was.

jett said:Finally watched the whole thing, it was funny as hell. I was curious to see if Ninja Gaiden was indeed that cheap and difficult, so I replayed it. I cannot believe that guy was stuck for several hours on that one enemy on stage 2 jeez, LOL. The game is not that bad, it has specific item pickups strategically placed to help you for what's to come. The appearing/disappearing enemies really are fucking awful though. I made it to 5-3 in about 40 minutes but I stopped there before I lost my sanity. I applaud this guy and his team for finishing the entire game, but I think they used cheats, I noticed they had a bunch of ninpo magic at the very final boss.

jett said:Thanks jediyoshi! And Kotaku too, despite me being blocked.
Your file is incomplete, mayne. :| What I watched was awesomely hilarious. I guess I'll download the big ass 400MB video.
Downhome said:Thanks for that tip. I also dug a little deeper and found a freakin' goldmine. I have a LOT to catch up on now, lol.
Zing said:I have no idea what is going on here. I watched the whole video. Is the point that they took some random guy who has a vague familiarity with the famicom and lock him in a room for 16 hours? The video gives zero backstory.
He doesn't even play the entire game himself! His "team" play through levels for him and get him back to the boss.
I find it very hard to believe that anyone who played the famicom back during its time has never played Ninja Gaiden, let alone never heard of it like this guy.
That's the idea dude.Downhome said:The episode this week is Super Fantasy Zone...

By the way, since I'm new to this entire thing, can someone explain it to me? I assume that how he reacts and everything is real, but it's odd how he reacts to certain things and doesn't come across as a long time gamer at all, especially since it seems that he has never played any of these games before.
Arino is just a Japanese comedian, but he has played some classic games as a child (like most Japanese dudes his age). He isn't a very good gamer however no. At least initially.Downhome said:Did they just find someone to do this, who never really played games, to see how that would work or what?
Anyone gonna upload episode 2? The rip that jediyoshi posted last week was great.
I did too, but if Retro Game Master becomes popular enough, maybe somebody will pick it up againDukeTogo1300 said:I second Retro Game Challenge. It isn't just a collection of old 80's games like the packaging pics seem to suggest, these games were made specifically for this release. The game doesn't just have an old game feel, it completely captures all the little quirks of growing up in the 80's game generation. From gaming mags with news, reviews, strategies, cheat codes, to game manuals, arcade envy, and turbo buttons, everything makes an appearance. The challenges add a very interesting feel to it all, and once you complete them you can free-play the games with tons of stat tracking. There was a sequel that had more games and covered the 16 bit and hand-held stuff, but it never made it out of Japan (I've lost hope).
