The Slippery Slope Of Japanese Game Shows

Sunday 16 November 2008 @ 10:58 am | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 2 Comments

Hi there, you seem to be new here! Here at Dark Diamond we frequently update with news about video games, anime, Japan and other cool stuff. Head on over to our homepage or go ahead and subscribe to get updates! Enjoy!

We all know Japanese game shows are as ridiculous as they get. Its such a special weirdness too, whenever the west tries to copy it, like with human Tetris, it ends up being a failure. It seems that the wackier they get, though, the closer they start to resemble flash minigames. Take the video above for example.

In the Japanese show Haneru no Tobira they prepared a lubricated platform where comedians are spun around and their  goal is to reach a goal platform at the end. This totally feels like a flash game, if not, someone needs to make it, now.

Bonus points to whoever guesses how long until the west rips this off too.

    This will show up on the Ellen Degeneres talk show soon enough. This would be really fun though, merry go round combined with water slide. Although, what was up with the dude with no clothes on?
