GameCenter CX: Wii and PS3 Officially Treated as Retro Games; Arino Takes on Wii Fit and Demon's Souls
Summary
On August 23, 2026, the YouTube channel of GameCenter CX, the beloved retro game show hosted by Yoiko's Shinya Arino, aired a special live broadcast titled "Wii & PS3 Declassified?!". During the stream, the team seriously debated whether the Wii and PlayStation 3, both launched in 2006, should now be considered retro games, and ultimately decided to officially lift the ban on featuring them in the show. Arino then tried his hand at several titles, including Wii Fit and Demon's Souls. The former is known for its motion controls and fitness focus, while the latter is infamous for its brutal difficulty and punishing combat, giving Arino plenty of material for his trademark reactions and commentary. This decision marks a significant cultural moment, as the seventh console generation officially enters the retro category, highlighting how rapidly gaming technology evolves. For fans, it is surprising and delightful to see these once-modern systems become nostalgic artifacts. The move may encourage players to dig out their old consoles or revisit these games on digital storefronts, further fueling the retro gaming community's enthusiasm. Viewers eagerly anticipate future episodes exploring both iconic and obscure titles from these platforms.
