The following video has been “leaked” onto YouTube. The next big game from Nintendo perhaps?

Hehe…I see a lawsuit. Big people cannot get thru hurdles made for not so big people.
Brilliant.
Not sure what to make of that! Looks fun though!
This is just a Japanese game show, I’ve seen it before.
Hilarious!
Ha ha. The last guy should have been wearing a cup.
Secret Nintendo Video?
Good one.
On the other hand I can see how this game could be integrated into the Wii, with some creative engineering on Nintendo’s part, but this video is just a Television show.
this is SOOOOO old
What the heck? How is this web 2.0 news? Slow news day eh duncan…
LMAO!
I have the home edition of this game. It’s great with the ladies.
Looks FUN
Oh, tha game is already out and it’s called 3D Tetris BTW! Very good
What the hell is TechCrunch coming to?
Dunc,
This post should have probably made it over to your personal blog…
Just my opinion.
lol - what is that, looks like vertical people tetris.
japanese gameshows are one the of the bests, i feel - it looks like they’re having a world of fun all the time
UH OH! TechCrunch visitor stay time must be lagging. Place a long pointelss video to get some fake traffic.
lol, now I’m sure the TV shows here broadcast this stuff their rating would go through the roof.
By the way, can’t you basically get through every puzzle by lying down straight so you are vertical while the ‘puzzle’ coming towards you is horizontal?
I saw this on UneasySilence earlier this week. It’s just Tetris in real life
Krug/ Choch
it was too good not to share, nothing more evil than that, Choch, that you’d read something so much into a bit a fun says more abut yourself than it does me or Tc.
Dunc,
I knew it wasn’t evil. Just got me all excited only to be let down by some lame tv show is all
Stavanger, I doubt it - some of those puzzles didn’t have a gap at the base, requiring the competitor to jump through/at the gap. :p
Duncan - you suck man. Your posts are lamecore.
I think they are also making this one into a video game…

This as on japanprobe a long time ago…one of the funniest Japanese variety shows I have seen…Techcrunch has certainly taken a dive in the last few months IMHO. Duncan’s posts are especially poor.
While this has nothing to do with web 2.0, I must admit that was funny.
One of my frustrations is blogs that post too much content. Posting to keep up the quota up. So if you don’t have something informative to tell me about the world of tech, do me a favor and don’t post.
i’m sick of people in the comments section insulting the authors of this blog… if you don’t like it, stop visiting the blog! its plain and simple… stop wasting everyone’s time with your cynical remarks because they do nothing but take up space.
as a matter of fact, this is a video from a entertainment program in north korea. it might not be a secret video from nintendo.
but it’s really funny, thanks a lot
Waste of time watching that same old same old video.
Mike’s Blog got better… :/
Do you have a brother named Cashen?
sense of humor any one?
If all you cynics are so short on time and so smart, why don’t you get rich quick by doing your own research. I don’t have time for this crap.
“If all you cynics are so short on time and so smart, why don’t you get rich quick by doing your own research. I don’t have time for this crap”
Sounds like you’re the one short on time, douche.
anonymous - your remarks take up just as much space.
Man, it was just a joke, people! I thought it was pretty fuckin’ hilarious
Actually the big guy is a Korean national hero K1 fighter called Hong man Choi (pronounced chay) He isn’t much of a fighter but seldom loses because no one can knock him down and he eventually gets in a good punch.

In italy we used to have a TV show called “Mai dire Banzai” (”Never say Banzai”), with tons of this contests, but with three commentators who used to say things like “look how stupid are these Japanese”: it was the early 90’s …
It is always nice to see someone is discovering this stuff each day…
Is TechCrunch extending comedy content?
Why don’t we have game shows like this?
Yodel: lacks understanding of irony.
Oh, it’s great I want Wii
Great video! I wouldn’t buy the game though…
