Shinya Arino--part of the Japanese comedy duo Yoiko--has made quite a name for himself among the gamer community in Japan. This has come about thanks to GameCenter CX, a late-night Japanese TV program with a focus on the world of video gaming, where one of the segments has Arino try to beat a particular challenge in, or the entirety of, a classic video game.
It was this beloved TV show that gave birth to Retro Game Challenge, a title developed by Namco Bandai as a game inspired by and a companion to Arino's live-action gaming adventures.

Let's look at the team's history and break down what you may have missed.
From the article, "Which is a shame, because Retro Game Challenge, and the succession of Game Center CX games that have been released since, offer an equivalent, and often superior experience. Granted, they don’t cash in on the real nostalgia value of offering actual NES and SNES games to play, but the fact that people are earning full games makes up for that."
