GameCenter CX

A show about Japanese comedian Shinya Arino, who tries to beat a specific retro game (Usually NES or SNES) in every episode. He gets assistance from his ADs (Assistant Directors) who are usually much better at the games if things get too tough and he can also use manuals, guides and sometimes even cheats if they are available.
In Japan, the show has gone for over 15 seasons since its start in 2004 and is still going strong with over 130 episodes and several specials. Kotaku also recently tried to make an "official" English version of the show (Called Retro Game Master, which is ironic since Arino is nowhere near a master) by subtitling it and replacing the Japanese announcer with an English one, but this version is seen as inferior because it cuts out all the non-challenge segments as well as all licensed music due to copyright. Hence why only the Japanese version is shown on v2.
Arino is also known for coining the now frequently used word UWA.
