His smile and optimism: Restored
I thank the English translators sooooo muchhhh
That’s gotta be HECKA WORK. Y’all did incredibleee
I only just found out 8-4 did the translation for this channel. They're responsible for a lot of major game localizations like Fire Emblem Awakening, Nier Automata, and even translating Undertale into Japanese. So I'm not surprised they're this good.
@@BigKlingy i dont know why i always memed toby fox being the translator but wow apparently im not far fetched
@@IcedTheLocalClownSakurai actually revealed that Toby Fox was the one who recommended 8-4 to him.
I wouldnt call fire emblem awakenings translation good.
But id say they are great for a youtube channel like this.
yeah those people are HEROES. i hope they COUNTINUE their important work!
Finally, Sakurai gets to be in front of people who laugh at his jokes like in the Smash presentations
Actually, I believe it's the same people - most of the staff from GCCX was hired to produce those Smash presentations for Nintendo. They must be in a good relationship, given how Yoiko used to do so much content with them.
@@takeshi_oyama Yoiko still regularly do stuff with Nintendo, it's always posted on the Switch News section for JP accounts, I'd imagine it's on YT as well somewhere.
22:40
Sakurai really pulled a "Call an ambulance... But not for me"
I was about to write this 😂
Exactly what I thought.
Great to see officially subbed Arino, although at this point the English speaking world probably knows the show better as GCCX with how short lived the Retro Game Master branding was.
There were only 14 officially released episodes of Retro Game Master. I agree, I wish they would just call it Game Center CX and embrace the fansubs.
I suppose that is the name of the show that is internationally trademarked.
@@SobmicSSBB yeah, on some of the earlier seasons there were segments with Arino at trade show booths to shop the show around under that name. I'm not sure if those were before or after the DS game released in the us as "Retro Game Challenge"
@@ShadowEl Funnily enough, the 14 officially released episodes on dvd had their subtitling done by a fansubber.
Same here, I was super confused why they were calling it "Retro Game Master", I've watched a bunch of subtitled english episodes and never heard it called that. GameCenter CX is way cooler and more recognizable of a name, it would make more sense to stick with that for these videos.
It's so awesome that Sakurai and Arino can share the history of arcade games throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s while experiencing them for themselves.
Sakurai's gaming skills are insane. You can tell he spent all of his allowance in the arcades as a kid, lol.
At least someone’s willing to acknowledge the series in English
It's so weird how the official English name is "Retro Game Master." Surely most fans know it by the Japanese name Game Center CX.
A game and some episodes were released at one time under that branding in the US, but the whole thing didn't stick.
@@ShadowElIt's funny you said that. I tried looking up Retro Game Master on RUclips and couldn't find his channel under that name. I did look it up under Game Center GX and actually found it, but without English subtitles to understand his content. I couldn't even find a subbed version of his videos.
Yeah Sakurais awesome for that
show some respect to the team on something awful who fansubbed hundreds of episodes.
I have no doubts, we are officially living in the best timeline
It’s incredible to look back at some of these games that have surprisingly deep mechanics. I really appreciate that Sakurai calls attention to them; you can really tell he appreciates these early games.
That’s crazy to see non-fan subbed GCCX content let alone the acknowledgment of its tenure as retro game master
Exactly what I was thinking, it's bizarre he's in officially subbed content, isn't it?
I like Sakurai's youtuber arc very much fun video.
I think this video is literally just an excuse for Sakurai to just nerd out and I love it! I would definitely like to see more videos like this
At long last, the father of let's plays gets the true overseas exposure he deserves.
Here's hoping this may lead to more worldwide support for the Game Center CX series in the future.
I love this so much. Thank you for translating it. I could watch these forever.
It is so validating to hear the word "Let's Play" used with reverence in 2023. In a world of streamers and other live forms of "content creation", I'm happy Arino is there for those of us who still keep this dying art afloat.
Agreed, and it's interesting to see the Japanese side of it. I recently stumbled on some Japanese Let's Plays on Nico Video and the style still felt similar. I know the western Let's Play scene evolved out of screenshot LPs on forums, I wonder how the format got started in Japan?
The days of let's plays were special, but mostly because we were young
@@BigKlingy 日本では「ゲーム実況」という名称で、野球などのスポーツ中継における実況解説になぞらえたものだという認識があります。2008年頃にはすでにニコニコ動画というサイトで人気のあるフォーマットだったようですが、それも有野さんの番組による影響が大きいと思います。
@@zaidlacksalastname4905 You speak a harsh truth stranger
@@zaidlacksalastname4905 I don't 100% agree. I think the feeling of "just hanging out with a friend playing a video game" is timeless. The world of "hey chat, what does this do" and "thanks for the resub fartsniffer69" just doesn't hit the same way. I find myself still watch - and making - Let's Plays because I think that feeling is important.
Sakurai is definitely bringing in someone special
And we thought Smash was Sakuria’s biggest crossover
There are way more GCCX fans in ENG countries than they probably expected. Thank you so much for translating this
This man always knows how to cook a great crossover
I'm so grateful for you putting this up on the English language channel too, Sakurai-san 🥺 Retro Game Master/Game Center CX is one of my all time favorite shows and it's been so long since we've seen any kind of official English language release!
I’ve never loved anything so much. Thank you 8-4, for insisting on translating this one!
Sakurai's brain is a gaming encyclopedia.
Hats off to the translators. Well done. Its so wholesome to see Sakurai having fun playing video games with other people.
So far I played all of these in arcades in the early '80s. Sakurai's joke about Moon Patrol's "COUNTINUE" had me rolling!
Not even Marvel have this kind of crossovers
Sakurai really knows how to do awesome crossovers 😎
Marvel don't do crossovers. They are all part of the same universe. If marvel and dc met, it would be a cross over. Mcu just tired to make a big deal over nothing. Read a comic.
OMG! The other day, Around The Clock reported on this and I legitimately said in the comments, "Hey, what if the collab is with Game Center CX?" I was joking! I didn't actually think it would happen, but now that it is, I can't wait to see it!
Apollo: The gift of prophecy
22:41 Sakurai said "Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance! ...But not for me!"
Lol
Oh cool, collabing with GameCenter CX! (What it's known as in Japan)
We are going to love seeing Sakurai doing crossovers!
Where have you been the last 20 years
@@SsbPrime I meant for his RUclips channel not Smash Bros
Indeed!
Scott the Woz?!
just a joke blud@@keynanmartinez
This was amazing! I think just to see Sakurai be himself and have fun was the best part of all of this.
I wasn't aware of GCCX prior to this video but after this crossover, I definitely will look into him more!
If you like retro games and a look into Japanese arcade and developer culture of the last 20 years, GGCX is an unparalleled gem. Not to mention Arino's infinite charisma, the charm of it all is unprecedented. The best way to watch are 24 hour dedicated twitch channels.
I love Gamecenter CX and wish we had official releases in English like this more often. And I have huge respect for Sakurai in his love for Arcade games.
Honestly, I only knew him from Retro Game Challenge for the DS, I didn't know he was a real person! What a special crossover indeed!
He even appeared in Mario Maker 1.
Incredibly fun to watch. Such a delight! Happy 20 years, GCCX!!
The most legendary crossover
This is why Sakurai is one of the greatest of all time. He respects and appreciates the history of the medium. All developers and producers should pay attention!
Arino and Sakurai are both WONDERFUL!
Two legends playing legendary games makes for a truly legendary series!
Two funny gamers competing in arcade games! What a time to be alive.
GCCX is basically the grandfather of lets plays, and Retro Game Challenge for the DS is one of the most underrated games for the system!
Such a great crossover!
ゲームセンターCXが大好きで、英語字幕付きバージョンを公開が欲しいなぁ。
I'm so happy about this crossover since Sakurai can freely talk more about his passion for game development without just saying Nintendo stuff. He also gets to show off how good he is with playing as well.
Also, it's so awesome that this literally like a Game Center CX special episode since even Producer Kan (the narrator/announcer presenting the episode) is there, and even the shouts and cheering (and making fun of Arino) of the production team on the background.
Holy cow, their chemistry is sparkling!
Amazing ! Thank you for this trip through video game history !
can we just give a big round of applause to the translator, he literally translated 30 minutes of people talking
that's what translators do~
go watch a foreign movie
Isn’t that kinda their job? Like 30 minutes doesn’t seem like that much. I mean a typical anime episode isn’t that much shorter
Seeing Sakurai chill and play games he loves soothes my soul
It's nice to see Mr Sakurai is good at playing these games, despite some accidents. I can't wait to see the next episode(s).
I'd love to see more stuff like this on the channel. The editing is slick, the crash course of history is always fascinating, and there's a nice laid-back dynamic between you and Arino that keeps it engaging.
I didn't think I'd enjoy watching gameplay of old games before clicking on this video, but this was actually a pretty nice watch! Excited to see more in the future
So happy to see Arino on your show! Please bring him back as a reoccurring guest!!
Game Center CX is awesome! I love that show. It’s the 20th anniversary this year
Sakurai out here doing normal RUclips stuff like collabs is just great!
Game Center CX such a great TV show from Japan. I discovered this show from DS games.
What a pleasant surprise! Back when the first Super Mario Maker was released I remember my joy when Arino kacho was introduced as a special transformation alongside all the amiibo ones.
He's funny and entertaining to watch.
This video has perfect timing with the start of the Portland Retro Gaming Expo today!
Haha Sakurai wants to flex any chance he gets and I live for it 😂😂
The best part about this vid is that the title says #1, which means we'll get more videos of this awesome collab!
This was such a fun video I would love to hear Sakurai talk about more games in general
A Nintendo vs. SNK video game would be so cool.
Mario, Link & Pikachu Vs. Terry, Athena & Kyo.
I think Twitch should acquire a license to have an official GCCX 24/7 channel where people can watch the show, and hire people to translate the episodes. There's an unofficial channel currently, but it occasionally gets shut down until another one pops up.
That "Countinue" part was great.
I love this crossover and their dynamic. It is like watching two siblings play together. I look forward to #2 and beyond!
This was super entertaining, thank you so much for translating this.
I hope there's a tiny section where Sakurai plays Retro Game Challenge 1 or 2. This was absolutely delightful to watch.
Yay! I want Arino-san to know I very much enjoyed his playthrough of Spelunker on the DVD Extras. I love/hate that game, like many, so it was very exciting to see him finally conquer it (well...maybe "conquer" is an exaggeration...perhaps I should have said "see him finally reach an end screen.").
This was so much fun to watch. Sakurai was really "in his element" here and it was great seeing him playing games, cracking jokes, and more! Can't wait for next time!
You can really see the disappointment in Sakurai's face when Arino did not know what parallax scrolling is.
[On Space Invaders]
I still think it's interesting that the CPU ended up becoming apart of the gameplay (if memory serves). Because technically, with all the sprites on-screen, it's actually experiencing slow-down. But because of how that works, it ended up becoming a gameplay feature.
22:40 for Sakurai's "call an ambulance (but not for me)" moment in _Dig Dug._
Very cool! Really enjoyed watching you guys play these games.
Smiling ear to ear. It was a blast watching you both play. Mr Arino. This introduced me to games I’m unfamiliar with. Dig dug is one of my personal favorites. It’s satisfying to earn the music through gameplay.
Crazy to see non-fansubbed GCCX content
"I heard if you have your hand on a girder, the barrels won't fall down the ladders."
"That's right."
...Well, I learned something today.
What a treat to see these two play games together. Two of my favourite hosts!
Not that it wasn't obvious before, but Sakurai cares so much about video games, it's great
I was smiling ear-to-ear while watching. There are some of these games that I haven't heard of, nor played. Thanks for showing us. I am looking forward to part 2
These arcade games still look fun after all that time
I adore GameCenter CX, so this was really hype to see
I wish this was an entire series 😂
Man what a nostalgia trip. Thanks for translating this episode for us English speakers, GCCX is a great show and more audiences should know about it. Chief Arino is the man!
Just two bros chilling out and playing arcade games. This channel is a blessing
75 m! Thank you for getting to it! 20:25
Thank you 8-4 for this
Crazy Climber is a really interesting concept, I've never heard of it before.
And it's surprising to see how even the scores at the end were, alternating perfectly!
Te amo Sakurai 🎉
Thank you so much to the translation team
Love this content! From Dev tips and tricks to just all the little tid bits of knowledge and no a walk through gaming history. Thank you and please keep the content coming.
What a great video, such a pleasure to see. I'm always so impressed by the amount of knowledge and skill Sakurai has.
i literally screamed when they had the gccx narrator. this is amazing! thanks for translating this and to sakurai and the kacho and everyone involved ❤
Loving this trip through arcade history. Sakurai and Arino are very fun to watch!
Nice I love Sakurai and Arino Kacho
This is truly a wonderful thing to wake up to and watch while drinking my coffee!
These two have a great dynamic
Great! 15 year GCX fan here and absolutely overjoyed for having Sakurai! Creator of my fav videogame (Smash Melee) and my personal enemy for creating the other Smash Bros. games :D
This is such an amazing treat. Thank you 8-4 for localizing this!!
The prophet hath spoken.
That’s a lot of innovation in such a short span, thanks for showcasing them! Great crossover!
Thank you Sakurai, Arino Kacho, and 8-4 for allowing us to enjoy these segments in English.
The score so far is closer than I thought it would be! Great work all around.
Oh this is a good episode. Asteroids display on an arcade cabinet is so bright. Especially the bullets
