HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I love japanese people, they have the highest AND lowest quality entertainment in one small country.

As if the original one isn't hard enough.

how many takes for a complete video?

Not only is the detail incredible, but the fact that that guy can actually complete that maze boggles the mind. I'd get stuck at the first hole every time.

That's F'ing awesome. I think the Giz should do a top 10 analog games list.

These are the most strenuous/painful videos I have seen today.

I'm cringing at every video... still very entertaining though.

This is like very tiny miniature golf where the idea is to miss the hole. I have a real talent for that.....

What's with all the cut scenes? Couldn't make it in 1 try?

@Joseph: Are you kidding? That thing is ridiculous. I am surprised that Godzilla doesn't pop out and eat the marble.

Was smaller than I thought it would be.

This needs to be put in a standard labyrinth base with the 2 knobs

@Y2KGTP:

Yeah, before the dude picked it up, it appeared to be three feet across.

What a manic culture - One minute they're crafting mini analog versions of marble madness, serenely sipping tea in elaborate rituals, and writing Haikus, then it's back to used school-girl panty vending machines, powered dildos, and bukake. Yes, I know that's a very ethnocentric overgeneralization, but the contrasts in Japanese culture are mind-boggling. The most civilized and perverted subcultures - at home in the same small country.

Indiana Jones version?

I cannot watch these. It drove me beserk. Watching him twitch the table around and the ball shake made me want to eat a bullet.

wow.

that was a total waste of breathing.

First of all, add some LED's or something to the end. make it flash or make a noise. or otherwise just pick up the damn marble and put it in the damn hole and go have a danish. Seriously. Masturbation is a much better waste of time.

AND SECONDLY did anyone notice that mess of wires on the floor? Its called a power-strip bro and it SAVES LIVES.

"Ryku! Ryku! The house is on fire! You're burning!!! Quick, Run!!!:

"Just...two.... more... curves... then I will get the ... marble ... in ... the.... errrrrr........."

Sux.

My friend has this handheld marble maze ball. It's about 1 foot in diameter and it has a 3d, MC Esher-esque maze inside where you have to roll this ball in all sorts of crazy directions to try to get the marble through all the way to the end. It is INSANELY addictive. I must have spent over an hour playing with it the first time I saw it and only got to like point # 30 out of like 200. I couldn't find it online to link to though...I have no idea where to get it.

Why didn't he just pick up the marble at the start and drop it off on the goal? Besides, I can do that on my iPhone already.

Dammit, the flash isn't coming up for me for some reason... but I do love mazes, I used to play marbles as a kid, and I have a thing for Japanese women, so I'm sure this is wonderfully nostalgic, sexy, fun.

God that's lame. Give these guys a GameBoy.

What made Japanese people so damned creative and smart? Jeez this is cool.

This is real otaku. Akihabara nerds have nothing on this guy.

@SgtMac02: It's called a Superplexus, and is awesome: [en.wikipedia.org]

I think this is the gamer's equivalent to Rocky IV type training. Analog FTW.

@misterbleepy: YES! That is exactly the thing I was talking about! That is so addictively cool. Thanks!

ugh...i'd rather live in Fritzl house than watch those videos again...

OH MY GOD THAT WAS THE MOST EXCITING THING EVAR

Seriously though, why are you looking this crap up instead of playing GTA IV?

I hope to god it blends.
