Sasuke: Ninja Warrior
So am I the last person on earth to find out about Sasuke/Ninja Warrior? I guess you can catch it on G4 late at night (Must. Set. TiVo). However, you can find plenty of highlights (including the new impossible 2007 course) on the YouTubes. What's amazing to me is that I feel like I'm watching people play a videogame in real life. I know that sounds so cliche, but it's just so damn true. Just look at it, if that's not a platforming side-scroller, complete with a boss stage, I don't know what is. Spoiler alert: If you watch the show, this footage may not have aired yet. It's of one of the only people to have ever completed the 4th stage. Evidently there are very few people (less than 1%) who've ever finished the course. Also: There's a lady's mode as well, called Kunoichi. Seriously, why don't we have theme parks where I live where I can pay to go play on these things? I'd die of exhaustion, but holy cow, does this look like fun real life gaming.

Ack! Spoiler alert! Please! Posted by: Nathan![[TypeKey Profile Page]](http://www.gamegirladvance.com/nav-commenters.gif) on May 24, 2007 12:40 PM
I had considered a spoiler alert, but figured it was unnecessary as they spoil it right on the front page of G4's page for the show. I've edited the original entry (and this comment) for spoilerage. Sorry 'bout that. I figured the video of Makoto there is probably from 5 years ago...? Guess not? Posted by: bowler on May 24, 2007 12:52 PM
Makoto Nagano's winning run is from October 2006. This show is aw-haw-some. Posted by: Fuzzy Gerdes on May 24, 2007 02:55 PM

Nope, you're not alone. I just found out about this show a week ago myself. It's amusing. Posted by: D3stiny_Sm4sher on June 7, 2007 02:52 PM
yeah, seen that guy complete that course. apparently he trained like crazy for it too. It's not just shows like this... even show's like Takeshi's Castle would make for an amazing theme park ! (man, the Japanese think of everything !) Posted by: darkchild82 on June 12, 2007 05:31 AM
