From personal experience, yes a short term effect.

We used to play a couple of rounds of Duke Nukem 3D and Half-life death match in LAN at work at the end of the day. That got everyone amped up and drive home more recklessly afterwards.

Currently my kids have similar effects. They act out what the Lego marvel superheros do and run around swinging foam swords at each other after playing. My youngest gets most violent from Mario though, already has quite a temper when he keeps missing a jump. I have finally settled down and have not broken a controller, wii mote, mouse or keyboard in the last 5 years. Well, maybe not completely, the casing of one of my DS4s is a bit misaligned :/
