Stylejam, distributor of the Japanese
Game Center CX DVDs, is showcasing the retrogaming marathon show in the U.S. for the first time, at this year's New York Asian Film Festival. Two subtitled episodes of the show, titled
Retro Game Master for the American release, will be shown during the festival at the IFC Center, for free. On June 21, 25, and 28, NYC locals can catch Shinya Arino's attempt to conquer
Atlantis no Nazo, and on June 22, 29, and July 2, the festival will show Arino's battle with
Ghosts 'n Goblins.We're pretty upset at the limited nature of the showings (as in, limited to places that are really far away), but Stylejam's first tentative steps into a U.S. release of
Game Center CX give us hope for a subtitled DVD release (as does the poster text) and, in our wildest dreams, a localized release of Namco Bandai's
Game Center CX mock retro game collection.

I've looked EVERYWHERE for some sort of sub (fan or official) for this show and only managed to find two episodes. Those two episodes were really well done and have me craving more, so I'm really hoping that this event is a precursor to DVDs with English subs.
