Way back at the end of season 1, Arino interviewed Satoshi Tajiri, head of Game Freak and creator of the Pokemon series. As a kid gamer, Tajiri idolized Namco, and in the mid-’80s he and Ken Sugimori created their own Famicom game, Quinty, and managed to sell it to Namco (later released in the US by Hudson as Mendel Palace). And at the end of season 8, Quinty becomes Arino’s next challenge. It’s snowing out! Yaayy! Arino greets us by poking his head outside the window, but it is kinda cold, so he quickly ducks back inside. We get a brief introduciton to Quinty, and then it’s time to start.
