Jon plays the infamous Takeshi’s Challenge, the game made by famous Japanese actor Beat Takeshi.
Experience all of the fun and frustration – mostly frustration – of the classic Nintendo game with some added features.
So today, December 10th, marks the 29th anniversary of what has been referred to as one of Nintendo’s, “worst video games of all time.” Not only was it insanely difficult to complete, but it was also surprisingly controversial for a Nintendo licensed game…and this game is Takeshi’s Challenge.
(Yes, it is related to that fantastic TV program, Takeshi’s Castle!)
Also known as Takeshi no Chōsenjō, Takeshi’s Challenge was released on the Famicon (more commonly known as the Nintendo Entertainment System) way back in 1986, the same year as Nintendo’s original The Legend of Zelda game.
