Agreed! This additional replay after the explanation helps a lot! The shorter format works better for me, too. Makes it much more digestible. Thank you so much for these videos, they help me push my Japanese and are a welcome addition to textbooks! Cheers!
Agreed, this is the type of work we can do on a daily basis and enjoy. To translate is to want to discover the meaning of the words that can then, upon review, be memorized as the meaning given by the context of the sentence, instead of as an English definition.
This man does not take a break. You're putting in so much effort man, just saw your video game tier list yesterday, and now another 1hr video. Thank you bro 👊
I've watched literally every single one of these 40 episodes over the last year. Amazing teacher and amazing supplement for anyone's self-study. Although I play through games on my own as well, this series has really helped tie together many grammar points that I never understood when I came across them on my own naturally as well as many, many dialects I never understood how to find definitions on my own. I feel I've gained a better grasp on grammar than I ever have over this last year and hope to pass the JLPT N2 this December! Thanks for the content, your passion for the language shows immensely through your videos!
I think doing weekly Vocab videos made in 1 day is both better overall for the channel, but also way better for mental. It's really mentally great for creatives to have projects that block 1 day, where you can just focus in that time period. Super good idea I feel.
Yeah for sure! It took about 3 days total for the edit, but definitely a lot easier than 2 weeks - 1 month like other videos! haha I think trying to hit a weekly release as often as I can will be best for everyone :)
I sort of hopped into this video on a whim and I ended up really enjoying the format. You made it easy for me to understand even though I am very much a beginner and this is episode 40 of the series. I want to go back to the start of the series now! Thanks!
Nice!!!! I finished the first shin Chan game when I first saw it through your channel! I learnt so much vocabulary with that game and end of this summer I started the coal city as well! Keep up the great work Matt! Awesome job as always!
いち日本人として楽しく動画を視聴させていただきました！動画全体を通して、解説が丁寧で驚きました！特に「いいね」の説明は見事です！（まさにthe like buttonです。）どの内容も的を得ていて素晴らしいです。しんちゃんのゲームは子ども向けなので、ひらがなが多い反面、地方特有の表現も入っていて、日本語の学習としては、とても奥が深いですね。
There’s already tons of comments you get and I’m new to Japanese like everybody else but your positivity and lively upbeat aspect in these videos really take your teaching to the next level and it’s so important so don’t burn yourself out where you have to feel you need to put on an act, we appreciate the videos and thank you
I'm going to Japan tomorrow for the first time and I just want to say thanks a lot. I don't know a lot of japanese but I know a lot of basics words with Duolingo and videos like yours. Just wanted to say a big thanks for your work. The way you're teaching it is so good in every single episode. With the step by step and explaining the formal/informal way with some examples. For real, thank you
Thank you for all the work you put into these. Its really been instrumental to my learning since I started a year and a half ago. Its also really added to my backlog but you cant help that 😂. Ordered a lot of great games from overseas. Playing shin chan right now cause of this video and love it
Omgoshh I love this. Thank you so much for sharing! I played the game in English, but now with just the little bit of Japanese I know I feel now a bit more confident to try out even if I am going to fail.
I love this style of video! I love Shin Chan and I can finically understand what the characters are saying! Please continue to make videos of this series! I have also subscribed to your channel.
This was amazing to watch! I've been nursing this video since it's release and i especially love the break down of the dialects and how detailed the definitions are❤ どもありがとうございます。
Ok now I’ve had a chance to see the video and I left off in the game right when you get the encyclopedia. Great video and explained a few things I missed (I just breezed past them and realize now I shouldn’t have lol). Thanks!
Thanks so much! The videos are a crazy amount of work, but when something feels like its worth making, all you can help do is keep working as hard as you can! 😁
That countryside flavor would definitely trip me up if it wasn't for you to shed some light on what can I expect. It's the same everywhere, from the us to europe, don't know why i'm so surprised lol thanks again, love your work - you're putting so much god damn effort into your vids, damn inspirational! : ) : )
I’ve been watching the anime forever, but this is the first time I watch it as Japanese learning material. What a wonderful job, Sensei! Thank you so much for the detailed and interesting explanation!
The positivity in all of your videos is very encouraging and your content is amazingly helpful to decipher more colloquial language. I think I detect a very South Australian accent. 😉
Why didn’t yotube show this video to me before? This is such fun way of learning. I consider myself intermediate but even if you explain everything one by one it’s not boring at all and i learn new things
I only just purchased the first Shin chan game a few days ago after seeing your recommendation. Its a very cruisy, relaxing game. Will definitely luck this one up in thw future.
Maaaaaan, this game is really making me want to visit the Tohoku region specifically Akita prefecture over the Kyushu region. But I don't know they are both equally beautiful and have interesting places but I wouldn't have a car and its gonna be years before I can even visit Japan in the first place. Anyways thanks so much Matt hopefully I can get more of that country speak down and eventually I swear ill understand keigo.
So you like tohoku? You know akita has most beautiful women in Japan according to them they are called akita bijin or simply akita beauty calling the women there beautiful haha anyway whenever I try learning more about tohoku or so I always get sick irl (bad omen?) Kyushu is somehow good but I like snowy tohoku oh mann
my boyfriend is from akita so we go there together! akita is really beautiful love the nature but it is really hard to travel with no car, so i would not really recommend going there with no way of transportation! but it is really pretty and they have amazing food! if you go there i would definitely recommend going there at festival time!
Which game would you guys suggest as a first game: shin chan (either me and professor or the coal town), or ni no kuni? Ni No kuni looks more fun gameplay wise but shin chan seems to have more daily life japanese.
One thing I'd be truly grateful to have cleared up: In "そうだったゾ", why is the last letter ゾ instead of ぞ ? It's not just in this example but you see this very often, where one can see little reason for katakana usage. It's not a foreign word, not an onomatopoeia, etc. I honestly don't see why normal speech shouldn't be written in hiragana unless a special katakana function is necessary. Does the katakana serve any purpose here? What difference would it make if it were "そうだったぞ" ? Thank you in advance!
You are an amazing teacher. I'm still noob, so a bit too fast for my ability to listen, but think I'll ketchup (lol)😂 From childhood I have a lot of hearing damage. My parents heavy smokers, so tons of ear infections. I'd get a hearing aid, but it is all a volume issue, so told the damage I have it wouldn't resolve that. So take my critique with a grain of salt. This upcoming Spring Level 5 is releasing a new Fantasy Life. It might be a good game to try to drag plebs like me to being able to pretend we are making progress in our learning:) Thank you for the effort. I hope you are top tier successful in your channel.
This new video system i think is also better for the learners too. Reason i say that is because retaining the first set of learned words is easier on the immersion stage.
@@L.4utumn yeah for the North America region, they didn't include Chinese (or Korean) unfortunately, so the options are to buy from a different eShop (HK) or to import the Asia region (not JP) physical edition from somewhere like PlayAsia. I'm strongly considering doing the latter because I want to play on Switch and I like having physical games
@@notalot22 oh shoot I just try what you say changing eShop region and I find out that I have fund on my switch so I can't change the region + if I change the region so I need to find HK currency?
Great video! I saw this game at the store here in Taiwan and am considering buying it - I’m wondering where you find game scripts and whether one exists for this game? I searched online but didn’t find anything, not sure if it doesn’t exist or maybe I just don’t know where to look
do you have to buy it in Japan to get the Japanese text version? I only see options for English, Spanish, Portuguese and German.... no option for Japanese text...
I really love how you edited this one, phrase -> explain -> play the phrase again. That must have been a lot of work, お疲れ様でした!!
where i can find this app?
Agreed! This additional replay after the explanation helps a lot! The shorter format works better for me, too. Makes it much more digestible. Thank you so much for these videos, they help me push my Japanese and are a welcome addition to textbooks! Cheers!
Please never stop with these videos. You‘re the best teacher and youtube channel for learning Japanese. This is incredible🥹🥲
Agreed, this is the type of work we can do on a daily basis and enjoy. To translate is to want to discover the meaning of the words that can then, upon review, be memorized as the meaning given by the context of the sentence, instead of as an English definition.
This man does not take a break. You're putting in so much effort man, just saw your video game tier list yesterday, and now another 1hr video. Thank you bro 👊
There is a decent-to-strong possibility that you can explain Japanese better than anyone else in this world.

I totally agree. There was no dip in quality and the video is still an hour long! Definitely think this new workflow is a better idea.
I sort of hopped into this video on a whim and I ended up really enjoying the format. You made it easy for me to understand even though I am very much a beginner and this is episode 40 of the series. I want to go back to the start of the series now! Thanks!

Thank you for making these videos they are fun and really helpful.
Another video jam packed with new japanese learning info. Thank you so much!
Ooooh, I will so get this game, it really looks very well done to learn Japanese with! Amazing and thanks for the video! :D
I bow to you gamegengo san ,I will always watch your all videos again and again to get fluency😊❤
Your videos are incredible!! I hope you'll do another shin Chan video someday. This was really enjoyable
Omgoshh I love this. Thank you so much for sharing! I played the game in English, but now with just the little bit of Japanese I know I feel now a bit more confident to try out even if I am going to fail.
Your videos inspired me to take the dive and learn Japanese, something I never thought I could do. 行くわよ！
I love this style of video! I love Shin Chan and I can finically understand what the characters are saying! Please continue to make videos of this series! I have also subscribed to your channel.
This channel is incredible. Thank you so much!!! 😄
Not only do I learn with these videos, but it gives you a good mood to see how you live it and explain👏
Great video I learned alot I'm looking forward for more please don't stop
As a super beginner in learnjng Japaness, I so.appreciate this tyoe of content where eveeything is broken down. Thank you so much❤
This is a treasure cove of information for Japanese learners!
This was amazing to watch! I've been nursing this video since it's release and i especially love the break down of the dialects and how detailed the definitions are❤ どもありがとうございます。
Mr. Salas recommended your channel! and I could not be more glad cause I love your channel.😊❤
I'm definitely adding watching these a few times a week for my learning.
Ok now I’ve had a chance to see the video and I left off in the game right when you get the encyclopedia.
Great video and explained a few things I missed (I just breezed past them and realize now I shouldn’t have lol).
Thanks!
Ok I really need to remember 何してたんだっけ, because that's me every time I go into the kitchen
This is the first time I came across your channel. Thoroughly enjoyed learning with you.
Holy effort in your videos man. Amazing
Thanks so much! The videos are a crazy amount of work, but when something feels like its worth making, all you can help do is keep working as hard as you can! 😁

I got the first game upon your recommendation last year. It was a fun, cozy time when I felt like taking a break from my harder games.
The positivity in all of your videos is very encouraging and your content is amazingly helpful to decipher more colloquial language. I think I detect a very South Australian accent. 😉
I really like this lesson❤ thank you very much
Just found your channel, this is incredible and I cannot thank you enough.
38:10 I DID NOT EXPECT A CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM REFERENCE LOOOOL
This is a GREAT way of teaching Japanese (and thus, a great way for me to learn)! You do an awesome job. Thank you!
Very,very valuble video.thank you so much.

thanks for all your hard work matt
Shin-chan is so cute！可愛すぎる！
42:03 the mountain on the background is Shinchan ass 😂😂😂
This video is Amazing!!! Thankyou for all your hard work❤
I really learn alot of japanese buy watching your gengo vidros. Thanks
Loving these videos as always! I might actually give this one a go in Japanese myself
I would send you money if I could, your video is amazing! It takes so much work to do all that! And it is easy to learn japanese with this method.

It's first watching this video and I loved it ❤❤ please make more
This is so much informative I start studying nihongo then I see this broo big respect so much effort sumimasen for wrong grammar 🙇
This is an amazing video series, keep up the great work! I would love a vocab series on the Famicom Detective Club remakes! 🙏
Doing amazing work
I love your channel you are such a good teacher and you make it fun in the process thank you for the effort you put in all your videos 😭🫶
Thank you so so much!!!
Love this series!
I absolutely loved the anime. Pure shameless toilet humor. I didn't realize there was video games
Would love to see more of this game talked through!

Could you told me what font do you use on miniature and subtitles (romaji and Japanese)?

I slow the speed to 0.75 from settings; the videos are amazing but a bit fast for beginners
@ps0923 I don't think I've ever changed the speed, so completely forgot you can do that! Thank you, brilliant:)
YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!
This game released February 22, 2024 on Switch. October 24th is for Steam.
Whoa another game in the series.
Apparently out since February but we didn’t know because it was in Japan only.
Lovely game.
You deserve more suscribers. Like 2 or three more. Just kidding. Thanks. And greets from Argentina. Love your videos so much!
This new video system i think is also better for the learners too.
Reason i say that is because retaining the first set of learned words is easier on the immersion stage.
面白い！
英語の勉強にもなりますねこの動画わ！レッスンありがとうございます！ブ😂ラジャー！
More of this game please!!
is there an anki deck for all the words we've discussed on the channel so far?
Is Coal Town better or just as good as the first one? (Summer Vacation?)
I like it more :) I think its better for learners too, but they are both great!
@@GameGengoAwesome! Thanks for all the hard work you and your wife do. Making learning the Japanese language fun.
my bday is oct 24, is this the best birthday gift ever? 🙈
Love the Shin chan serires, thank you for making this. How'd you get this game early?
Thank you 😭😭
Thanks for your work.
What do you think about Kingdom Hearts for the next episode?
I'm hoping to pick this up for my Chinese learning at some point. The steam page shows it has Mandarin subs and dubs as well
Yeah right me too, but I want to play this on switch, but I didn't see Chinese on switch, I'm a little confused

@@L.4utumn yeah the eShop workaround is a bit of a hassle for that reason

When playing this game will it translate for us? Or do we need this video for that?
Great video! I saw this game at the store here in Taiwan and am considering buying it - I’m wondering where you find game scripts and whether one exists for this game? I searched online but didn’t find anything, not sure if it doesn’t exist or maybe I just don’t know where to look
Can you do a review of playing Emio the smiling man for learning Japanese?
Thank u matt❤
do you have to buy it in Japan to get the Japanese text version? I only see options for English, Spanish, Portuguese and German.... no option for Japanese text...
I guess I got it on switch, which doesnt have Japanese
You are the goat!
I don't understand why gamegengo san channel. Don't get the views he deserves😢 people are very. Ignorant .
I picked this game up some time ago but haven’t played it yet!
love it.
❤❤❤❤❤❤thanks a lot sir
Is there something like this but for chinese?
