Oh god I can't believe it took me this long to find the show Gamecenter CX

[Urzu402]

Now I'm always gonna call the disappearing blocks in Mega Man, "Bwuus" it's a very fitting name. I don't see any other Gamecenter CX threads here. Though I know some of you know what it is. It's tv show in Japan where a guy plays through a classic game in each episode and he's not the best player in the world so it's entertaining. Though I also heard it was staged but still it's entertaining and I think western tv should have a show like it.

I like how they constantly find Metal Slug cabinets in the strangest places.

What's up with the bandage on his forehead? Do I need to watch an entire episode to understand that, or is there some back story I'm missing?

I wish they would have released the second DS game in the states.

The “bandage on his forehead” is a cooling strip.



(Oh god I can't believe it...)'s not dur butter! This is what I was hoping for.

It's a fun show but too focused on Famicom.

As understatement said, they're cooling sheets. Essentially it's sticky menthol on a thin, soft pad that adheres to the skin. I'll admit I do use them every now and then. They give you a little surge of "WAKE THE HELL UP!"

GameCenter CX is pure gold, as are both DS games, especially the Japan-only sequel.

So the guy with the cooling pad is the character in Retro Game Challenge? That was possibly my favorite DS game.

Interesting, I always wondered about that.

I've seen clips of this show here and there, guess it's about time I officially sit down and watch a few full episodes.

Im in love with this show now, thank you so much for making this thread.

In Ghost N Goblins I didnt have a hard time with Red Arimer, but the wavy ghosts and armor was a real pain. Im gonna try at it again, my gaming muscles need a real flex anyway. Id love to play the Ninja Gaiden games too, god help me.

Thanks for posting this! I never heard of it until now and I am really enjoying it! Something to watch while waiting on new episodes of Happy Console Gamer :P

[Parodius Duh!]

Spike TV bought the rights and will be "adapting" a US version. Will most likely suck.
