I remember being surprised to learn that the Japanese name was 魂斗羅. Pronounced the same, though.

He played that ages ago.

Yakochu seems to be a popular guess, and I'd quite like to see him play that.

As in Septentrion? One of my favourite early challenges. Gonna have to dig in the old archives for that one.

Here's Yoiko's latest video, they played a couple of indie games (Humans Fall Flat and Celeste):

Nintendo's marketing ploy is working well, now I really want to play Celeste.

Always a solid mix of joy and pain watching Hamaguchi being absolutely awful at video games. Overcooked is going to be a trainwreck, can't wait!

The name was initially 呉爾羅 in the first movie (the legendary beast of Odoshima).

eta: Of course there's a list of kanji-only video-game names online. Of course. https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q10179592945
Going off that list, there are 14 contenders, though he may have played some before (and some may not qualify for other reasons).
eta: Thirty contenders. Many are vertical arcade shooters, so hopefully none of those. I'd take 弟切草, though.

Also in: re babychat, there's a tradition among sumo wrestlers that if you bring your baby to them and they cry, that's good luck. I'm sure Comedians can parley that into at least Humorous Segment.

They usually have events all over where sumo wrestlers hold two babies face-to-face and make them cry. First to cry wins.

Arino's Yoiko partner, Masaru Hamaguchi, married his girlfrind, Akina Minami on the 25th, with Arino serving as the witness.

https://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/201805250000862.html

On the topic of marriage, the GCCX Channel app has a new segment where they introduce staff members looking to get married. Only Tani has been featured so far.

edit - Kibe is release his third book, a "mostly non-fiction" book about Game Center CX this October.

魔獣王 were the three kanji. So I guess it means the devil or king of the demons or something.

"Hellbeast King". It's an Altered Beast-esque action platformer where the protag can transform into various kinds of monsters.

Altered Beast's original title is 獣王記, "Chronicles of the Beast King", so the similar titles makes them very natural to compare to each other.

The gameplay is very different though in that Majuou is a jump'n shoot and actually pretty good. It's also not easy and the way you power up somewhat opaque. This should be interesting.

Lots of speculation as to whether they'll use a re-print or an original for the challenge among the Japanese fans currently. Mainly because if it's an original, no way will they sign it and give it away at the end of the episode.

They've played some expensive games before on the show, Gimmick! and Battle Formula come to mind and surely there's been others. Do they simply skip the signing of the copy on those cases?

e: Had to check the actual episodes and I guess they still gave them out, although I dunno what the current practice is
