I love the segments. Of course the challenges are fun but the segments do a lot to break up the time and give the episode room to breathe, and I've been introduced to so many interesting games through the segments.
I remember some bud online complaining about these segments because he wanted the game itself but then why bothering watching it instead of a let's play?
It's because you only love the girls
I like almost everything about Japan, probably I never heard about it because it never aired in Europe.
On the bright side, you now have 23 years worth of good television to enjoy.
To be fair I got to know this show thanks to torrent and streaming.

He's talking about the English DVD set. The segments got cut for the same reason that they're cut from the Japanese DVD sets: licensing. They need permission to put those segments on the DVD release, just as they need permission to put the challenges. Usually some of them will get included as extras on the DVDs but otherwise the DVD version is different from the broadcast version as they just focus on the challenges and anything else (segments, interviews, bonuses, etc) are extra features. This is also why they released a "Tamage Special" DVD (a whole dvd dedicated just to that one segment). But the English DVD cut them entirely. The English DVD did a lot wrong though, Kotaku had gold handed to them on a silver platter and they really fucked it up.What a fun series! Arino has the patience of a saint (for the most part
That's nuts! Why would those segments get cut?? Dude would go to arcades and stuff and play crane games and do gacha, it was a great way to pace the episodes. That's a real shame to find out.
