Takeshi's Castle Saudi Arabia News


Here's a news topic where you can post updates you've found, what's coming up next week, etc.

I know they put the trailer for the next week after each episode, but still - we just need a topic like this emoticon

Next week we'll get Roller Derby, which should be fun.

I've just noticed that the "trailer" is actually just a clip from each game and in the order that the games will be played in that episode! At least, that was the case with episode 2's trailer and it makes sense that it'd continue. So it appears (unless it's a new starting game, since they don't advertise those) Roller Derby is our "only" new game this week. It's crazy that I'm saying that like it's a bad thing emoticon

Kind of like with Thailand, we've been spoiled by Saudi Arabia so far, but I suspect we have to have an episode with nothing new coming up pretty soon. We definitely have Bridge Ball and Turtle Hurtle on their way (and I'm guessing a couple more than that will pop up - Roller Derby itself was a complete surprise to me!), but this remake seems responsible enough to pace itself. I assume that's why they are holding off on Bridge Ball, and that's fine with me.

Also interesting is that (if my "trailer shows the games in order" theory is true) they always seem to start with the hill game, have Honeycomb Maze/Skipping Stones/Wipe Out in the middle and end with Home Run. I would say that's a bit predictable, but then I remember (especially in the early days) the original did the same! I wouldn't be surprised if that's why they're doing it really. I'm really impressed with these people emoticon

Meanwhile we now have two weeks in a row without Sumo Rings. I guess that'll be less common as it requires more cast to play, but it should be a treat when it does appear. Wonder if the guards will change?

Look what we look to have coming up:

This was taken from the background of the telecast to the castle in episode 1 and appears to be The Great Wall! It has the exact same design as the Slippery Wall, but it's completely straight, so we must be getting an alternate (albeit similar) starting game soon emoticon

Well I'd love something totally unique from Slippery Wall, like Bite the Bun, this is definitely good news for the show's variety emoticon

There have been no tweets or clips about Episode 4 so I'm guessing it's not on tonight emoticon

Update: it is on

It's so weird how there was no promotion for this episode - especially considering it had three new games! I feel like more people would've watched if they knew what was coming - and especially since they stuffed all three new ones at the very end! I definitely think this episode is "newer" (General's different uniform, lots of new games being advertised), so maybe they didn't have time to make the promo? I dunno though.

Anyway, we actually have a trailer for next week - showing yet more new games!!:

Show of Hands (another different multiplayer one emoticon ) and Tug of War (a game with - presumably - lots of different characters)! emoticon

Skipping Stones, High Rollers, Roller Derby and Velcro Fly are back! And all the new ones from this week are back as well (no complaints about that, I trust they will mix things up in weeks to come!).

I'm so excited by all the newness, and I'm starting to believe their big claim about 50 games again emoticon We know Turtle Hurtle, Great Wall and Run Way are coming up as well!

But I am hoping they space out what they have left a bit more - a week with nothing new, introduce Run Way, two weeks with nothing new, introduce Turtle Hurtle, etc. Nothing wrong with a week of old stuff seeing as they already have the ability to rotate everything weekly.

Speaking of which, Sumo Rings has to turn up again, surely?! Makes sense that that's a rarer game, and it'll keep that one fresh for longer.

Also so impressed with them being able to play Wet Paint and Skittles in the same episode! Two ramp games weekly wouldn't be great, but it's fine occasionally, and shows the sheer power of this remake to transform the slope in the middle of an episode emoticon And finally a remake that has all three potential ramp games in use emoticon Now to build Dodgerock emoticon

Also like how they've used the floor of Home Run as a landing area for Dominoes. Really good idea and lets Home Run rest for a couple of weeks.

They've really made great use of the space for this remake - and the sheer effort they've put in is clear. I'm massively impressed and I really hope the crew read that from their viewers emoticon This show is a gift that keeps on giving and is beginning to challenge TCT in my book (with better cast/plot, it'd be my favorite already)!

So, assuming next week's trailer doesn't lie (which is a big assumption emoticon), we get Turtle Hurtle next week! I'm really glad they put a week of nothing new between in order to break up the new stuff a bit and get us used to not having something new every week in a gentle way. Turtle Hurtle looks very similar to the original game.

Next week is another week without Sumo. While I can't see them completely ditching it, it's strange that it appeared in the first ep and hasn't returned since. I know it requires more people than most games, but that just feels really strange.

Though they went and built Tug of War later on, so I guess they can afford the guards emoticon

It looks like we have no Slip Way next week emoticon Stones and Palm Tree Trip also seem to be missing - note how those two often aren't seen in newer eps.

We DO have Velcro Fly with a trapeze (so glad they went with that emoticon ), Dominoes and Run Way. Seems like it should be a good episode.

How long does it take for one episode to air after it has been played?
