wolfx Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Danny choo has a post today. http://www.dannychoo.com/blog_entry/eng/71...m+Card+Builder/ My pics: Matching trading card game with an arcade game...if that isn't a money making game i dunno what is.
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 This concept has been around for some time. Started with football/soccer games I think. These machines don't look cheap though. Might be a big investment on the arcade's part.
Ghadrack Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I was blown away by these machines on my trip to Tokyo, if the arcade scene wasn't dead in a great deal of america (Non major cities) I think these things would be a windfall and a nice way for arcade owners to diversify just a little bit and sell collectible cards for extra income. They had them for Football, Soccer, Horseracing, Gundam, Baseball, I know I am forgetting some of the machines I saw, it was just awesome.
lord_breetai Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 there's an arcade in the city that brings in lots of Japanese games, it had the one Macross arcade game (the one based on the original series). It had the Initial D game with the saveable cards... and it had Gundam DX... so I could see them getting it... but can you play the card game without the machine? and how language intensive are the cards?
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Its complicated only if you don't have instructions (all in Japanese). Play for these types of machines revolve around shuffling your 'deck' (normally only 4 cards in play at one time for say, the Sangokumushi game) around the board. No fast reflexes or dextrous button tapping required.
wolfx Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 Yeah...its all about deck combinations and positions. Everything on the card is self explnatory cuz it uses symbols except for "special abilities" that require japanese or a guide to tell u what it does. Or just play testing to see what happens when u initiate the special. You do need to know the game mechanics though.
kung flu Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Is it like gihrens greed with trading cards? That Gundam and Zaku head would look great in my living room though
