Anyone know if these exist or which streaming site is best to look for them on?

I'm particularly in the mood for one of the 64 Zeldas, or Twilight Princess.

I did a quick search for you via a popular streaming website, Justin.tv. Log into your account (or make one if you don't have one), at the top it should say "Live Channels" and from here you can select "Gaming." After that, sort by Japanese and you'll get a few channels. Sorry I can't find specific games for you, but here's one I just found where he's just talking in Japanese while playing some weird game. Looks like Yu-Gi-Oh. Let me know if you find anything else interesting.

Edit: Forgot link. http://en.justin.tv/lottechocopie#/w/734631760/3

Thanks Vinster! I had no idea about justin.tv.

I found this link as well: http://en.justin.tv/mimonn#/w/735359744 with a guy playing League of Legends. He's constantly talking strategy. While I don't really play LoL, it's pretty interesting. I also found a guy playing Half Life 1, but he didn't talk much and was just trying to glitch this one part.

*EDIT*

Found something better: http://en.justin.tv/sunagimo2001#/w/735285232

新女神転生 NOCTURNE!!!!

No problem, glad I could help for the first time in... ever. Hopefully you see more channels pop up as well, considering it's Saturday morning in Japan. Once noon hits more should show up possibly? This is actually really cool too, because you could potentially make a lot of friends through interacting. Also it's nice to see it's easy to change the interface to Japanese as well. Looks like it's equally as easy to stream your own PC games, which I should try sometime. Granted I have no Japanese games.

You definitely need to get some Japanese games, man!

And also, watch this: http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv36911925

Majora's Mask live stream. Started not too long ago. He's not doing a speed run, which will be weird for me since the last bunch of play throughs of MM I've seen have all been done in just under 2 hours.

*EDIT*

This guy is currently narrating the entire story, providing hilarious comments, and immediately replying to any typed comments. If you like this game in the slightest, I recommend watching this.

Someone else posted this in a different topic and I though it was pretty funny http://www.nicozon.net/watch/sm6979644

there's other videos by them here http://www.nicozon.net/mylist/12767041

Not streams, but you might wanna look into finding episodes of Game Center CX. Really fun show.

Just watched the whole 10 part series on that game. What's the actual name? Is it just 青鬼？ That was absolutely hilarious.

And where should I search for Game Center CX?

P.S. - To those who missed the thing on Majora's Mask before, it looks like he'll be streaming that for a while while he beats it. Then after he is moving on to Wind Waker, 4 Sword, and Twilight Princess. Good stuff. I think the stream now is on Mario 64. According to him when I asked why not Majora's, "気分転換にマリオと思った”

You're including RECORDED live commentaries too? Basically they're the same anyways...

Just search 実況プレイ on niconico.
零(zero/fatal frame) seems like a very popular choice there. It's great when the guy didn't played before as you get to see his first reaction.

There's also this crazy guy playing Mario bros. 3 on a insane in-game speed. Level 1 was never that hard before... lol

That show is awesome =) Can't seem to find any new episodes anywhere though =(

As speedking said, searching nicovideo for 実況プレイ will bring a lot of hits; you should be able to get most games you're interested in.

Thanks all!

I found a bunch of guys right now that seem to be streaming there's plays of various Zelda games.

I'm in here right now and this guy is great. Just playing through while talking about random stuff and replying to people's comments. Join if you want some good listening/want to ask a question about literally anything.

Bully (Canis Canem Edit in Europe). This is probably the funniest one I've seen so far. Even though the game is in English I highly recommend it

I know the thread is a bit old but I didn't see any good reason for starting a new one instead of adding to this one. Watching 実況プレイ vids has helped me immensely with learning Japanese, has made me laugh a lot and been all around awesome. So, here's some of the best ones I've seen:

せがれいじり: this is definitely the oddest Enix game I've ever seen. it's just totally nonsensical and ballsy and rad, more games should dare to do things like what this one does. it relies heavily on wordbased jokes, so from a learning perspective it can be very good for learning how to joke in Japanese and how you can play around with the language itself.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm10100877

かまいたちの夜２: the game is a quite humorous interactive murder story and heavily textbased (it's a direct follow-up of the first game but it explains most of what happened in that one. I haven't played/seen the first game played but I had no big problems understanding the story). the player is what really makes this special as she reads most of the text out loud and does different voices for each character (sometimes while she reads she says something else from what is written to make a joke, that threw me off at first). she's very funny, the game is long and it's overall an ideal 実況 for learning Japanese. seriously, this is of such high quality that it would be worth paying for as learning material. she also has videos from playing through the third so in total there's probably 15+ hours of text with audio + helpful pictures to go with it. I'd recommend turning off the comments for most of the time as they tend to be in the way.

パチパラ１３: a pachinko simulator. not even kidding. only, it has loads of content and there's a storyline (which always lets the main character save the day by playing pachinko in an utterly MANLY way), very funny dialogue choices, a big big city with shops, different apartments to buy, a driving test, etc etc. when I checked some reviews I saw a description that fits it quite well, "無駄に神ゲー”. the player is very good at rolling with it and makes good use of the freedom the game lets you have instead of just picking dull, "normal" choices.

Resident Evil 5: this might not sound so interesting. however, the main player is playing through the game mostly just following his co-player around while commenting on everything like he was a soccer game commentator on steroids and misunderstands everything on purpose. it's frantic, funny and very different as he manages to change the whole appeal of the game and turn the whole thing into a special show. check out the first episode and you'll hopefully understand what I mean. he speaks VERY fast so don't sweat it if you don't understand even half of what he says

Gundam for PS1: this game is terrible and definitely worthy of the "so bad it's good" achievement. I don't want to spoil anything but if you have any idea about what Gundam should be, and probably even if you don't, you will laugh. The player himself is very funny too and if you feel you want more of this (he doesn't play the Gundam game anymore after this one video), follow the second link to find his full playthrough of a similar game made by the same company

Zelda - Ocarina of Time: this is a cancelled playthrough consisting of only four videos and it's a shame the player didn't continue this project. like the title (もしも自分がゼルダの主人公だったら) implies, the player plays/talks as though he himself was the character/Link and does it very well. this is also where I learned ごまだれー！
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm6910217

Lastly, this one probably doesn't do much in helping you learn Japanese but it's ridiculously hilarious. There's a guy who calls himself Pikachu/P who is playing through the 2D mario games in quadruple speed (look up his videos if you're interested, myself I got a bit bored by them) and this is what happens when one of his videos is slowed down to normal speed - making his speech four times slower than normal

Thanks for the recommendations in this thread!

Edit: Okay so this isn't a real playthrough and there's no accompanying commentary but it's the most hilarious thing I've probably seen in years. Someone give this guy a job somewhere because AW YEAH. It's Zelda: OoT again but it's been changed into something entirely different and it's just awesome. Deeply recommended to anyone who has played OoT before. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm8227436

Edit2: Here's a playthrough of 探偵倶楽部 (Tantei Kurabu) ２, a detective game classic that really knows how to build up suspense, has a bunch of well-written characters as well as atmospheric ambient music and also gives you a lot of chances to think. If you have any interest in mystery stories, you'll love this. The players are an incredibly entertaining duo, once they pick up steam in the fourth episode or so they also start doing a lot of speculation/mystery solving on their own which adds so much to the game. Moreover, they are generous enough to read all text out loud which is, as always, super nice for us language learners. In the earlier episodes they have some problems with mic noise, and yes it's annoying, but please stick with this 実況 because the noise problems are solved later and it is an extremely gratifying experience to follow them through the game. Even the comments in the videos are good, it's nice to watch something with only comments from a few users instead of the usual scrolling wall of text. Highly recommended.

The P playthroughs are awesome.

There's a no-sword no-shield 0-life playthrough of Link to the Past going on right now that's pretty good.

This is part 20 but you can use the mylist from here:

EDIT: I started watching that Gundam one; it's hilarious. The start of the first video is the definition of 出オチ.
