Seeing the localized Game Center CX "Retro Game Master" logo again after so long legitimately triggered my fight-or-flight response.

Retro Game Challenge 1&2 on Nintendo Switch!
Last night I played a bit of Game Center CX: Arino's Challenge 1+2 REPLAY, specifically Arino's Challenge 2, the sequel to a collection of retro parody games that I've deeply enjoyed since my kid days!
You can watch the stream here on SinnohStarstorm!

I've been rewatching Game Center CX, and also wondering about the source of the "There's not a single encouraging word on that screen" image, and I just found it! It's from the Punch-Out!! episode.
The screen mentioned in the subtitle was the game over screen from Punch-Out!!, which shows Little Mac sitting on a bench looking sad and beaten, with "GIVE UP?" to the left of him and "RETIRE?" to the right, and "GAME OVER" below him.
After getting a yet another game over at Bald Bull and having to go back to Don Flamenco, Arino says something that the SA-GCCX/Clover translation subtitles as "Maybe I should throw in the towel... (reading the game over screen) Give up... Or retire... Game over... There's not a single encouraging word on that screen." (Japanese: タオル人れたったらええのに。。。GIVE UP。。。 RETIRE。。。GAME OVER。。。前向きな言葉1個もないやん。)
The game over screen did have a bit at the bottom that said "AFTER TRAINING, MAC, COMING BACK!", but I don't think Arino could read that part. The game's entirely in English for some reason.
The "His smile and optimism: Gone" image is from the second Quest of Ki episode, by the way. Quest of Ki is... I'd call it a precision platformer? Arino had spent thirteen hours playing the game in the previous episode, the last three of which were on level 79 of 100, and he suggested he might be able to finish the game up in the next two hours. At some point in the next fifteen hours, he made the face in the screenshot.
#Game Center CX#Punch-Out!!#Quest of Ki#I know Punch-Out!! was aimed at the American market but it's still weird that not even the dialogue was translated#I don't know why I thought the smile and optimism line was from the Ghosts 'n Goblins episode#That game's difficulty is pretty well-known#Arino eventually beat Quest of Ki in 37 hours I think#Not 100% sure about the live special but I know it was nine hours long#And he spent approximately one billion of those nine hours still stuck on the same level he gave up on at the end of the two-parter
