Comedy duo Yoiko checks out Trombone Champ and Q Remastered

Nintendo is back with another video featuring Yoiko, a popular comedy duo in Japan. Once again, the comedians have visited their friends at Nintendo to go hands-on with a game, but this time around they’re enjoying a game that needs no introduction.

Yoiko is a Japanese comic duo from Konohana-ku, Osaka that is employed by the comedy talent agency Shochiku Geino. Yoiko are known otakus, and the duo (kombi) was originally formed under the pretense of Shinya Arino as the boke (stooge) and Masaru Hamaguchi as the tsukkomi (straightman), but as time went on and Hamaguchi’s “natural stupidness” started to shine through, the duo became known as “the duo with no real distinction between the boke and the tsukkomi”.

In today’s video, Yoiko sits down to play another duo of games. First up is Trombone Champ, the musical game that needs no introduction. After that we get to see the pair tackle Q Remastered, a physics puzzle game with 1,200 open-ended problems for players to solve. Now would be a great time to check out both titles, as each are part of Nintendo’s 2023 Holiday Sale!
