So how fucked is Konami now that this happened?

So how fucked is Konami now that this happened?

there was a ban on casino gambling?

then how come in Yakuza you can go to open casinos and play card games for money?

I don't understand why people keep saying that Konami is fucked when, if i remember correctly, it's CEO was one of the people that pushed really fucking hard for japan to legalize gambling.
Did you all forget about that?

Ask me in a year or two.

Oh look, this thread again.

...

its heavily based on real life,

Don't you know if you die in the game you die in real life?

...

That's the only reason for pachinko's existence you dip.

Last thread is bumplocked

wow you're a faggot

I wonder how this one will be derailed

...

Konami is probably going to be fucked when competition comes into the gambling sphere. SNK made the right choice focusing on games again.

FF/Garou sequel soon?

So whats your favorite pachinko machine? Mine is metal gear solid 3.

I think they did announce a new Garou, didn't they?

I didn't. I know that with full legalization of gambling Konami is just going to drop vidya gaems outright beyond pachinko and gambling mobile games.

Konami doesn't have anything to compete in the gambling business.
The market is already oversaturated, so they're basically fucked.

Wasn't it a pachinco machine?

Do you rape qt girls?

Konami did nothing wrong.
Everything was Kojima's fault.
Prove me wrong.

Samurai Shodown is probably gonna be their next fighter, unless the office battle royale changes the results


No, Garou just got PC, PS4 and Vita ports. They keep bring up Garou more than ever in interviews and are well aware of the demand for it, they also revealed the roster for the original/canned sequel. Just Defend probably got added to KoF just to prep for Garou 2


They made a few fatal fury pachinko machines a long ass time ago, that's about it.

Enjoy your ban

There's literally nothing wrong with racemixing.

This is fucking karmic.

...

Konami pushed for gambling to be legal, I don't see how they're fucking themselves over. Especially if the rumor about the Yakuza having members in big business is true they can just drop video games entirely and open casinos with "borrowed" money.

Get fucking dead.

I can't believe SNK had the foresight to focus entirely on videogames again. What did SNK know beforehand?

Absolutely.

Stop being gay.

Is SNK also filled with yakuza like Konami is?

Doesn't the CEO of Konami hate videogames and he is just turning the company into a Pachinco factory just because his yakuza overlords told him?

They probably knew that the shit would pass an that they could not compete. I'd say the Yakuza maybe had something to do with it but I'm sure I'll be met with a chorus of how the Yakuza are dead/useless/non-existent.

Wew


Well done lad.

The fact that younger people were not falling for pachinko and that japan needed money + summer Olympics = the government legalizing gambling after arguing about it for years. Also the basic knowledge that the industry for other gambling machines is extremely saturated.


Considering they got bought out by the Chinese; no.

Why do you think pachinko is a thing?

==FUCK YEAH@ VOLTORB FLIP AND THE GAME CORNER SLOT MACHINES ARE COMING BACK!=

They knew there was a huge push for it, like from Konami. They realized that it would inevitably come to pass and they wouldn't have the resources to compete in that kind of market.

Won't stop them from making more pachinko machines. However, it would be unwise of them to continue that because there is alot of competition & saturation.

Reported.

Did you not forget SNK was bought by a Chinese company?
Of course the Yakuza lost their grasp on SNK with this.

how will japan get money from this

Taxes.

Revenue and taxes.

Taxes, revenue and the billions of yen from filthy gaijins that will be going to Tokyo for the Olympics

As long as I can keep buying my tokens from the local vendor, I'm fine with that, the main problem with replacing Slot machines with the Voltorb Flip was that the local vendor was also axed, meaning you had no choice but to play it you wanted these sweet Pokemon.

even with yakuza around?

Specially with yakuza arround. They might be nacionalists and thugs, but they also love money.

They'll just have their own casinos and such. The Yakuza didn't have total control over pachinko, they won't have total control over casinos either

The market is already oversaturated, so they're basically fucked.

user, they already have gambling machines. Did you really think they only made pachinko machines? They have a subsidiary in Las Vegas dedicated to making casino gaming machines. This actually good news for Konami.
