Well this is strange: apparently Nintendo is releasing Mighty Bomb Jack on the Wii U Virtual Console this week. O_o GameCenter CX fans will recognize this as the game which Arino tackled alongside Inoko MAX. Everyone else ... will likely have no idea what this game is. If you're feeling up for a challenge and want to walk down the same path the Kachou did many years ago, for just a couple of dollars Mighty Bomb Jack can be yours!

Anyway, SA-GCCX (the "SA" stands for "SomethingAwful" I believe, as in the SomethingAwful web community) is or was the premiere fansub group for GCCX. They're the ones who subbed 80-90% of the videos you'd find on YouTube over the past few years. Leading up to the Great GCCX YouTube Purge of 2013, they finally bit the bullet and opened their own official YouTube channel and uploaded all of the episodes there. And then something happened. And I don't know all of the details myself, so, disclaimer! I could be wrong about some of the particulars that follow. First, someone approached Fuji Television and licensed the rights to release GCCX in North America. (This happened soon after Kotaku paid for the rights to six episodes.) Second, that party approached the SA-GCCX team. (He may even have been a part of it for all I know.) Third, they agreed that the fansubs were good for business (as they lured newcomers in) but that in the interests both of legalities pertaining to their licensor (Fuji Television) and of profits for themselves, they would not offer full episodes on YouTube of anything that was about to come out (or that had already come out) on DVD in North America. While they would offer teasers for those episodes (such as compilations of the in-between segments in those episodes), they would not provide the full episodes proper. Fourth, Fuji Television eventually was like "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! " and SA-GCCX was like "Oh shit ", deleted their channel, and directed everyone towards the DVDs. Do they still sub the show for free for the fans? And do they still make those subbed episodes easily accessible? That I don't know. Last I checked, they had not. The steady stream of freely available GCCX episodes had dwindled into nothingness and they were directing people towards the DVD guy. But given your link and given their retooled site, I dunno: maybe I should look into it and see.

GCCX and Nintendo collaborate once again! Nintendo asked the Kachou to play Super Mario Maker, the team over at Fuji TV agreed, and then Nintendo uploaded the 37-minute episode on their very own YouTube channel! :o It's a rare delight to get to see GCCX on YouTube these days, let alone with such sharp video and large resolution. Be sure to check it out if you're a fan of either GCCX or Super Mario Maker! It's raw, but no need to be scared off by that: Super Mario Maker is one of those kinds of games where I think you'll be able to appreciate what the Kachou is laughing at or grimacing at every step of the way. I'm only 9 minutes 28 seconds into it, but I've enjoyed it so far and figured I'd share.

Back with more Kachou! YouTube recommended a full GCCX episode, much to my surprise, and it was one I hadn't seen before so I had to check it out.
Episode 175 - Nosferatu It's basically a stupidly harder version of Prince of Persia. You only get about two minutes to clear each stage. You're three-hit killed on Stage 1 and already two-hit killed by Stage 3. And worst of all, it's a lives-and-continues version of PoP (instead of using pass codes) -- and you only get nine. After you use up all nine lives/continues, it's Game Over and you've gotta start all the way from the beginning. I'm paused on 22m53s right now. Haven't finished the episode yet, don't know whether he beats it or not. The game center visit he does this episode is totally worth seeing for the first vendor, the one who sells the tuna balls and seaweed. That entire bit was excellent.

Fuji Television and Nintendo have teamed up once again to bring us a GameCenter CX special! And this time it's ... a Pokémon special!
Arino-kachou has been given this challenge: "Obtain all 151 Pokémon in Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green before the release of the Generation 7 games, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon!" Through a combination of captures, purchases, stones, and trades, he must acquire every Pokémon from Bulbasaur to Mew before November 18! Nintendo is releasing one new episode each month. The first two episodes are currently out. Assistant Director Matsui is playing the opposite colored version alongside Arino, suggesting that Matsui will be there to help Arino complete his Pokédex in the later stages of the game. Episode 01 - May 24, 2016 Episode 02 - June 23, 2016 Now for some spoiler thoughts! Spoiler: show
