Gundam Card Builder title=

I've always known about the existence of Gundam 0079 Card Builder but never knew what it actually was until I went to an arcade recently.
Located on the 7th floor in a Shibuya arcade, two sets of Gundam Card Builder machines took up half of the room - a set of machines consist of a huge screen so that by-standers could watch the battle and 8 machines where people sit at - pictures at the official site.

Seeing Gundam Card Builder for the first time is kind of like watching people turning knobs n dials in a command room prior to a space shuttle launch (on TV^^;)

This main screen would show the progress of battles being held by the players in the room and occasionally zoom in on battles between mobile suits.

I dont know too much about the game but what I do know is that its set in the 0079 era but after a recent upgrade of the game system, many characters and mobile suits from other generations also appear in the game.

What you do next is to sit at the command machine which looks like a cockpit. A detailed diagram at the official site shows you what each part of the machine does.

There is a flat area in the middle of the machine and thats where you decide where you want your units on the battle field to be. For example, if you place five cards representing different mobile suits, the mobile suits will appear positioned in that order in the game.

What I found interesting was that depending on where you slide the card and how you do it, the characters/mobile suits will perform different actions. You can see some of the moves available here. The panel also detects if you tilt the cards so that you can attack enemies diagonally. The cards must have some sort of magnetic information embedded or something.

It was intriguing watching all the people shift these cards all over the place and pressing other buttons at the same time. Some of these folks had huge packs of cards on the side - presumably representing other mobile suits and weapons.

Looked like a ton of fun but also looked expensive to collect cards - and also looked very difficult too!

Here are some of the cards available.

Some cards of mobile suits and vehicles.

I'm thinking of organizing an otaku get together this year where we can get together, share ideas and talk otaku. If we do get together then maybe we can all go and play some Gundam Card Builder!
If you are planning on comming over - let me know when and if there is enough of us around the same period of time then we'll get together.

Reiko Holinger title=

On you way out of the building, you can also pick up some Gundam Card Builder goodies with UFO catcher.
Notice the pic of Reiko Holinger who is one of the secretaries that appears in the game - and such a cutie she is ^^

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    That is something that really makes you want to collect more and more cards, and get addicted to the system!

    Too bad it's not somewhere else than in Japan...!

    A blessing for true fans indeed...!

      There are such games around the world too I believe...
      There are heaps not for the arcade at least.
      I believe that any game that allows you to gain level or power, will cause addiction... hehe... not safe yet~^_^

    Christ, danny - WHAT ARE YOU DOING!

    Taking pictures in a japanese arcade?! NO!
    I tried it (discreetly, without flash) once in the sega world in Shibuya and a member of staff materialised out of nowhere and did the universal 'no' X shape with their arms!
    Did you have some kind of press pack, or did they just recognise you as a celebrity?

    I dont quite get these linked multiplayer card games, but they are a spectacle to behold - all those people sitting down doing wierd things! Idolmaster and that horse one were the best - people stroking their girl/ horse using the touchscreen!

    Nice work with the Otakurls feature, though its a bit information overload for me as i have a limited time in which to check around 6 blogs and 2 forums every day!

    Glad to see a post on this finally! I don't know much about the game, but i absolutely fell in love with the Reiko figure when I saw a photo of her on your site. I just finally recieved the figure a few weeks ago (http://www.figure.fm/post/6485/Reiko/), but I have yet to find any non-figure pictures of her, have you?

    I dun indulge in card builder game cos it can be a real money sucker for those who are engrossed in it, it always have such thingy called the Super Rare Cards and the Rare Cards who are usually the ace chrs (in this case I will assume its Amuro, Gundam0079 so on and so forth)

    The hard part abt Card Builder Game is not the game mechanics but whether you want to spend to get the rare cards which are usually either more powerful or with nicer artwork or special coated.

    at first when you said arcade card game, I thought it was like the arcade card game mushiking: http://www.mushiking.com/index_j.html but after reading your post I realized it was more than just rock/paper/scissors/beetles. ^^ It looks more like a Yu-Gi-Oh type game. I wish they had cards written in english, so they can market it out internationally as well.

    Fuuuun-looking. Too bad I understand Japanese et all. Nor have I kept track of anything Gundam. What I have to say about this is:
    Good catch! This looks totally fun no matter how you look at it. Sorta reminds me of Idolm@ster and YugiOh instead. Still this is something worth passing on to friends, thanks!

    If we had one of those Gundam card machines over here, I'd pour all my money into this game, even if it'll cost me an arm and a leg.

    As as avid TCG player, there's nothing better than having Gundam on cards. Gundam war is fun, but seeing the Gundams on a big screen fighting it out is just so much cooler!

    Hot DAMN! Nice to see some new information popping up on the blogosphere regarding this game. Frankly, it's been a little under reported in the otaku community.

    Nice to see you've got some good photos too. I recently went in to an arcade and shot a short documentary about the basic gameplay, and am currently editing it for my site tiltyhouse.com

    Perhaps we'll have to collaborate on this if we can get together at your next meetup.

    http://slyphnier.atelier-freya.net/

    Somehow i interested in sharing some information i know ...
    Actually nowdays many trading card arcade game in japan... even Druaga that kind of action arcade MMORPG using some card... and those trading card game all using IC card to save our data (battle information ie. win lose etc) ... other than Gundam, there is soccer game WCCF2007? . D? . Sangokushi Taisen 2 ...

    In gundam card builder, u stack ur pilot card + mobile suit card + weapon + skill card? in special card slot ... and then u move it in arcade table, its kinda hard to explain but i will write a link that will make u understand what i mean

    While in WCCF, u set ur soccer player in formation u like, and u play like a manager in CM (u accumulate money and other stuff)... and for making the game more interesting, you control the player defense position . kick and goal defense

    in quest of D ... u need to insert ur deck card in deck reader and then u can use all item card that u include in ur deck for use in game battle, quest of D is mmorpg action type like diablo

    and last Sangokushi Taisen (the game which until now still play) u control ur general card to fight ur enemy general card

    Playing the game isnt as hard as u might imagine, first time player (if u insert new ic card) will get tutorial + battle train ... ps : each ic card can be used for 100 play ... after that u need to buy new ic card
    And all this arcade game have
    >/ solo/PC versus game/Story mode
    >/ Player vs player
    >/ in special occassion there is special added menu usually if there championship under run

    Collection the card isnot expensive like u think, well if u ever collecting a card the price is almost same,
    Every time u play (u can play max 3 battle if u dun lose at the way) you get 1 card/battle ... so if u play 3 battle then u get 3 cards
    maybe this game is not cheap game for some people, since its cost 300yen/battle, while next battle cost 200yen and last battle cost 100yen... the price is for sangoku taisen, i dun really sure for gundam and wccf...
    imho this game not that expensive if u not obsessed to the game

    If u feel u need power up for ur deck, u can buy specific card in yahoo auction (http://openuser.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/user/kroeger2423 this no.1 infamous yhj cardseller) or in akiba, u can try go to bluesubmarine 4th floor / 5floor (located in same building as kotobukiya akiba) in there u will find any card u want either arcade trade card or table trade card like magic the gathering ... well there lots card shop not only in akiba though...

    The price of card its really depends on the release and the rarity(new release / version update card will be expensive at the beginning and going cheap later)
    If i dun forget a ronaldinho legend card 2007 wccf sold at 90000yen at yhj! when it release

    nowdays... since new version soon coming, the average rare and superrare card should be arranging at 100yen at lowest and 5000yen at the highest (usually only for legend card) average price at 1000yen only

    and i like said, if u want to know more about the game play, please check the link below
    http://www.famitsu.com/fwtv/?800012
    PS: the link is sangokushi taisen championship video,

    If u not a card collector type... there is new arcade game, i forgot what the name... but its Gundam game too... in that gundam game u enter special cockpit arcade... and u will feel just like gundam pilot
    seems the game consist 4 people (2vs2) ... never try the game though
    though another unit should on the game (AI com)

    maybe this game is not cheap game for some people, since its cost 300yen/battle, while next battle cost 200yen and last battle cost 100yen... the price is for sangoku taisen, i dun really sure for gundam and wccf...
    imho this game not that expensive if u not obsessed to the game

    If u feel u need power up for ur deck, u can buy specific card in yahoo auction (http://openuser.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/user/kroeger2423 this no.1 infamous yhj cardseller) or in akiba, u can try go to bluesubmarine 4th floor / 5floor (located in same building as kotobukiya akiba) in there u will find any card u want either arcade trade card or table trade card like magic the gathering ... well there lots card shop not only in akiba though...

    The price of card its really depends on the release and the rarity(new release / version update card will be expensive at the beginning and going cheap later)
    If i dun forget a ronaldinho legend card 2007 wccf sold at 90000yen at yhj! when it release

    nowdays... since new version soon coming, the average rare and superrare card should be arranging at 100yen at lowest and 5000yen at the highest (usually only for legend card) average price at 1000yen only

    and i like said, if u want to know more about the game play, please check the link below
    http://www.famitsu.com/fwtv/?800012
    PS: the link is sangokushi taisen championship video,

    If u not a card collector type... there is new arcade game, i forgot what the name... but its Gundam game too... in that gundam game u enter special cockpit arcade... and u will feel just like gundam pilot
    seems the game consist 4 people (2vs2) ... never try the game though
    though another unit should on the game (AI com)

    Somehow i interested in sharing some information i know ...
    Actually nowdays many trading card arcade game in japan... even Druaga that kind of action arcade MMORPG using some card... and those trading card game all using IC card to save our data (battle information ie. win lose etc) ... other than Gundam, there is soccer game WCCF2007? . D? . Sangokushi Taisen 2 ...

    In gundam card builder, u stack ur pilot card + mobile suit card + weapon + skill card? in special card slot ... and then u move it in arcade table, its kinda hard to explain but i will write a link that will make u understand what i mean

    While in WCCF, u set ur soccer player in formation u like, and u play like a manager in CM (u accumulate money and other stuff)... and for making the game more interesting, you control the player defense position . kick and goal defense

    in quest of D ... u need to insert ur deck card in deck reader and then u can use all item card that u include in ur deck for use in game battle, quest of D is mmorpg action type like diablo

    and last Sangokushi Taisen (the game which until now still play) u control ur general card to fight ur enemy general card

    Playing the game isnt as hard as u might imagine, first time player (if u insert new ic card) will get tutorial + battle train ... ps : each ic card can be used for 100 play ... after that u need to buy new ic card
    And all this arcade game have
    >/ solo/PC versus game/Story mode
    >/ Player vs player
    >/ in special occassion there is special added menu usually if there championship under run

    Collection the card isnot expensive like u think, well if u ever collecting a card the price is almost same,

    I don't know if you play a lot of card games, but this will be the second generation of card games for Gundam (first being Gundam war). I don't know, but the new Gundam cards only refer only to 0079 Zeon and Earth Federation units and characters, but Gundam war has all the units and characters from all series. However, I still like the concept of seperating generations by colour coding them. I am eager to try out the new system though.
