He also gets the chance to interview game designers and to visit arcades all over Japan.

  • 2016-08-31T15:00:00Z1h

Arino has risen from his grave to challenge the Genesis class, Altered Beast. While Altered Beast, with its simple auto-scrolling beat-em-up action, is simple by todays standards, the real drama of today's challenge will come from Arino having to deal with a newbie in the director's chair.

Today's TamaGe excursion to a candy store in Nishitokyo is as traditional as it gets. Arino will be checking out this neighborhood staple outfitted with classic games, candy and an elderly owner with a personality to boot.

In this one off segment shot during the recent Shikoku special, 5 of the staff competed in a beach footrace,similar to the one held during the American trip. Will it be the middle-aged Kibe and Arino, the young-gun Takahashi and Watari, or the marathon champ Kan who will take the spoils?

In true Japanese TV fashion this impetus for this episode is a pun. Arino all travel the 4 K's of Shikoku's 4 regions in glorious 4K (presented here in 720p)! Arino will be undergoing his own version of the famous Shikoku Pilgrimage but instead of visiting 88 temples he'll be attempting to play 88 arcade games.

Along the way he'll meet any manner of man, machine and monster much to the chagrin of Kibe. All whilst keeping in mind the goal of 88 arcade games being he makes it to his final destination, a fan meetup in Kagawan theme park.

But of course no travel episode would be complete without a challenge to accompany it. For that challenge Arino will be playing the appropriately themed and named, Kiki KaiKai for the TurboGrafx-16. A predesessor to the Pocky & Rocky games, Arino must guide Sayo-chan on her own pilgrimage in order to release the seven lucky gods. Will Arino conquer feudal Japan? Will luck be on his side? Will there be enough footage? Watch to find out!
