Celebrating 400 Episodes of Game Center CX

Fuji Television's beloved game variety show, Game Center CX, is hitting a remarkable milestone in its broadcasting history — the 400th episode! For over 22 years, this program has entertained audiences with its thrilling challenges of retro gaming classics, and now it stands ready for a grand celebration.

On June 13th at midnight, viewers can catch an extraordinary 400-minute live broadcast of the commemorative episode on both FOD and Fuji TV ONE Sports & Variety. This event marks a unique opportunity to witness and celebrate the enduring legacy of a show that has become a staple of Japanese entertainment.

The special episode is set to feature Kacho Arino, the charismatic host, as he takes on the notorious game Punch-Out!!. This title holds a significant place in the show's history. Arino first challenged this iconic game in 2009 and has since faced it during various high-profile events, including the 2013 Budokan Event and the 2018 Makuhari Event. The tension escalated even further during the 2023 Saitama Super Arena Event, where Arino managed to defeat his long-time rival, Soda Popinski. However, achieving that victory was not the end of his quest — it marked a new beginning. Arino's goal is to finally reach the ending of Punch-Out!!, which requires overcoming several formidable opponents that lay behind Soda.

As the clock ticks during this special, audiences are left to wonder: Will Kacho Arino pull off another miraculous victory, or will he succumb to unexpected errors once again? The anticipation surrounding this event is palpable, as viewers recall the many legendary moments that Arino has provided throughout the years. Each episode has been packed with nail-biting challenges and unexpected twists, and the 400th episode promises no less.
