I have a hard time playing it these days because it looks a little ghetto, but non-joke answer? I'd actually really like to see Arino play some Quackshot.

I watched the Wizards & Warriors episode and seems like neither Arino nor the staff struggled with it too much. One of the fastest completion times ever. The Japanese version must be way easier then?

I might be mistaken on this as it was a pretty drat long time ago now but I think there was a sucky SNES port, the Amiga original was pretty good especially given the relative lack of platformers on that system.

Kinda odd that Arino hasn't revisited the hog yet. He's got rivalries going with Mega Man and Mario, but Sonic only had that one (excellent) episode.

You made a fine post for yourself. ...For a casualry, I suppose.
Paris-Dakar Rally Special really is something, isn't it? It might be a crap game but I was amused at how unabashedly absurd it gets, from Arino having his car totaled by bird droppings to what I can only assume is a full-scale American military effort to prevent a Japanese person from winning the rally.

Lately I first watch the new episodes around 4 AM when I get up for work, and wait till I re-watch it before making up my mind if it was really good or not, but yeah, overall it was pretty good, outside of overusing the joke that Arino had to beat the 5.5 hour clear time by a female staffer "Who's only a casual gamer! "

Are the 2 Elrond sequels just as easy as their NA counterparts? The NA versions were tough games I recall.

Edit: Never mind, the 2 sequels never made it to Japan. What is the story with this series in Japan?

I feel like half the joke was the fact the staff felt the need to bring that up in the first place, because he kept repeating the awkward "female staff member who usually doesn't play games" phrasing they used.

Around the end he also said something like, "Says the guy in his forties," and that combined with the fact that he came kind of close to their time made it a little better. It was sort of rubbing me the wrong way, though.

So GIRLS ONLY PLAY SMARTPHONE GAMES is a talking point 'cross the ocean, too, huh?

I don't know but I'm guessing it starts and ends with "Japan got the first game, it didn't sell, no-one was interested in bringing over the others".

W&W3 is especially weird and I can't imagine it would have gone down well with... anyone.

Actually, the US got it first. Wizards and Warriors was developed in the UK by Rare, after all.

It just felt forced to me, if they'd just mentioned it once or twice it would have been funnier.

As far as I know, not really. Pretty much every kid owns a 3DS and plays Yokai Watch and/or Pokemon, male or female.

I can verify this. Whenever I'm miserable enough to boot up pokemon I have around 50 Harukas from Japan playing with me at once.
