Momotaro Dentetsu World: Konami’s New Token Game Launch Date

Konami Arcade Games announced that its large-scale arcade token game “Momotaro Dentetsu World ~ The Earth Rotates Around Hope” adapted from the classic Monopoly game “Momotaro Dentetsu” series! ~” (Momotaro Electric Railway ~Earthもメダルもまわってる!~) will begin operations in amusement parks across Japan starting from December 1. According to foreign media GameBiz, this game type is a multi-player token game (Mass Medal Game), which supports 1 to 6 players to play at the same time.

This game is based on the well-known “Momotaro Electric” series, combining the classic dice rolling and world-traveling Monopoly gameplay with physical token machines. The center of the game console is equipped with a hemispherical globe LED screen, which can present a gorgeous 360-degree performance effect and bring players an immersive visual experience.

Token Monopoly around the world

The core gameplay of the game retains the essence of the series. Players push the “dice ball” on the field by investing tokens. The number of points rolled by the dice ball will determine the player’s progress on the world map. When you successfully reach your destination, the plane on the screen will circle the globe and drop a large number of tokens from the sky, triggering a great chance to win the jackpot. There are various stations on the map such as “Object Obtaining Stations”, “Token Obtaining Stations” and “Card Obtaining Stations”, which add to the strategic nature of the game.

The first “physical IC card” brings new challenges

A major innovation of this game is the introduction of a card system, which includes 70 types of digital cards and the first 6 types of “physical cards with embedded IC chips” in the series. These precious physical cards will be sent out from the train in the machine, and players must try to push them off the coin pusher to obtain them. Each physical card corresponds to a different special game, such as the “Grab a Thousand Gold Game”, “Elf Challenge” and the “Poor God Game” related to the Poor God, providing rich and varied challenges.

Among them, the most exciting thing is the “Poor God Game” that triggers the super jackpot. Players must first obtain the “Poor God Card” at the destination, enter the state of being possessed by the Poor God, then stay at the “Poor God Transformation Station”, and successfully push the “Poor God Ball” off the coin pusher, in order to challenge this super jackpot game that can turn the world around.
