Play Retro Games That Aren’t Really Retro On The DS

Cosmic Gate, Haguruman, Guadia Quest, Rally King, and Star Prince all look and play like old school games from the 8-bit era but in all actuality they are completely new. Even better is the fact that you play as a retro video game show host who sucks at playing these games but you must play them to entertain your fans.

The man with a plan, host of the show Game Center CX.

Shinya Arino is a buster. A comedian turned retro video game show host who can’t play worth a cowlick. Despite his failings as a player, his television show Game Center CX is a pop phenomenon in Japan where viewers tune in to watch Shinya play old school video games, falter, and occasionally rise above his weaknesses with the help of the television crew. It’s very entertaining and it’s only fitting that a video game about the retro television show and its unconventional host become a reality.
