On the show, the host, a comedian named Arino, is tasked with taking on various NES titles and finishing them within a 24-hour period. Anyone who was alive during the NES days, or even anyone who has sat down to play a classic NES title or two, will realize that beating some of the ultra-difficult titles within 24 hours is quite a task, and often Arino has a few setbacks during the show, requiring him to call on the help of assistants who've played the title beforehand and are therefore equipped with secrets and tactics to help him overcome the odds."

Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido released earlier this month! We say that because E3 makes June a busy time, and also because, if early reports are accurate, not a lot of players picked it up.

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."
