Happiness in Animal Kaiser

This is what we call ~ HAPPINESS

It's the great feeling when you strike GOLD or Utimate card !!
You ganna experience yourself...one day


Story : Father & Son Bond in Animal Kaiser

Many a times at the arcade , we always notice that Father and Son were sitting @ the machine together playing Animal Kaiser. Sometimes, the Daddy will just stand a side and watch the little one play ...What makes a Audlt want to get involved with Animal Kaiser ? This is a game design for small age boys/ kids

Here are 3 nice quotes taken from ZoneX forum...the voices of the our dear Daddy who had put in their very most effort for Love and care to their boys...Lets hear what they ganna says about Parent-Son bond relationship.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My little one cried once .... so many people cheered for him and he lose (battle tournament).... that’s why he cried. He just felt sad ..... and disappointed.

He came to me, I just gave him a big smile and opened my arms for him - nice feeling for both of us. Cause I know that another 2-3 yrs for him .... no more open his feelings to you that easily anymore.

Hence, treasured these moments. Let them experience and ‘used to’ disappointment.
U need failures to make success a sweet thing ....

Though my boy is 5-ys old .... I still carry him. No one in the family carry him anymore, except me. He’s too heavy for the old folks and my wife. But not for me ......

My wife asked me why still carry him. My response - if i can carry him another year, i will carry him one more year.
Next year and he’s in K2 ... no more carry. Hold hands .... another 4-5 yrs no more hold hands .......

When they grew up, you will recall when is the last time you embrace your child?
Yup, when I carried him to play AK ....

I only have a 5 yr old son. I spoil and pamper him a whole lot cos when i was young i had quite a deprived childhood so i do not want my son to experience my path. I jus want both of us to be as close as possible in this short span of 3-4yrs after that i think their friends will be closer than us parents

Some of the kids, especially the younger boys, lose liao will cry.
So sad de.

I really hope every children can win the champion once ... just once would make their day. But that is never possible. So as parents, we have to explain and continue to encourage them

Morals, integrity and family bonding must start from a young age.
Believe me, they will remember.
Cos even till today, i remember the time my dad spent watching Wrestling with me.
Even though i did not enjoy it as much as he does, it is that bonding that stays with me.

Real Encounter Story from Blog Master :
One afternoon time around 1600hrs+ , i walked into Star Factory (Sembawang , Sun Plaza)I notice a Man in his late 40s. what so special about this man ? I do not know him either ~ he's just a stranger to me but his action touches my heart...

There are total 3 Animal Kaiser @ the arcade place. 2 machines was place side by side and the other one was placed at quite a distance away from others.

This is what he do :
This Father had put in coins token into the 2 machines which is side by side and keep presing the yellow/Green button...walking from 1 machine to the other.

He is not interested with the game play animation...only trying to keep going thru' the whole process just to get the cards ! I found out that he is collecting cards for both his son and daughter. So , to save time...he just place 3-5 credits into machines and just anyhow press the buttons so that the game can end.

He doesn't know about the game much. I give this uncle a good tips that he should choose STRONG option so that the game can end faster. Then he also wasted alot of time aiming at the button when he looking at the scrollng-card at end of each game. I told him that it doesn't matter, just need to press the button (no need wait / or aim) as the card deck will drop accordingly . All these tips help him save abit of time though

During that time , there is not much other players ~ so the father play there for about 0.5hrs spending about $20-$30 just to get the card..to bring home ...to pass them to his son and daughter and share their joy. This is what Father Love is all about.

Cougar vs Falcon

Man & Animal battle...Who will win ?

Animal VS Man , Animal VS Animal~ "Just for laugh" Funny Clip


butterfly VS praying mantis

Very funny Ad for a drink commerical

Ebay.sg (Japanese Occupation !)

They have landed to our shore.... The Japanese are here to sell CHEAP CHEAP Jap card for every Animal Kaiser fan. This is indeed a nightmare for most local Seller as not many of them can match Mr.Japan's fantastic price. Some believe that he got secret partner in Singapore while others say that he work alone.
All these doesn't matter as long as the pricing is CHEAP and quality of card is GOOD.

The shipping cost (fr0m Japan?) is just S$6.99 ...wow..Unbelieveable rate for oversea shipping chargs. this is the cost of making 1 to 3 card purchase.

The shipment is FREE if you bought 4 or more listing ~~!!!!

Buy at your own risk as this Japan Seller do not make sure whether item sold is useable on our local machine.

Blog Master comment : I am not making any advertisemnet here for him or anyone else. My main intention is to share information. Alert to all local card sellers , we do have blog readers coming to this blog from Japan...so i will not be surprise if MORE Japanese come into our SG market...so , local sellers had to be unit and prepare for "Animal Kaiser" battle war !

Here is a example of Japan_4_you 's listing :

Japanese Animal Kaiser card in S'pore

Alot of queries about Jap card pricing since it came to Singapore 1 month ago

Wow! But why some cards so expensive?
1. Buyers import in the cards with different sources.
2. Shipping charges varies.
3. Sourcing the cards sometimes is a big headache for them.
4. Middleman commission.
5. Covering cost for the bundle of good and bad cards.
6. Fighting bids for cards online.
Above are the few reasons i see that makes Japanese cards pricing on the high side.


Sellers gets it through different sources in Japan:
(1) Either by some payment gateway through japan yahoo or other online store.
(2) Some has friends to get the cards for them from Tokyo, Osaka, etc.
(3 Some of u ordered in bundle and the cost is reduced down further.
In such, the cost of the cards are not the same at all and this makes it hard to give a standardise price tag on it.


There are also hidden cost like banks fee, domestic delivery charge (send to osaka), commission + oversea postage charge !and not forgeting the 3.9% paypal charges as well as credit card charges....(Card sellers will know all these facts)


For normal cards in Ver 8/9( unplayable ) , the market is flooded as someone already sold 1000 or 2000 of them at a very cheap price to capture immediate profits. So no point to import them now.Its hard to sell them at high price now


For playable normal cards, the market is still there but not many animals card can be played. The profits are low of course.


Basically, there is nothing to worry about the pricing.
The law of demand and supply will be alway there as a guide when selling.


Why sell high?
Cards are hard to get or find.


Sell Low cos there is plenty of card supply around

Blog Master comment : A seller can sell $100 for 1 special card but another can let go at just $50..this is a free market ~ Willing Seller , Willing Buyer.(there is no RIGHT or WRONG abt it!)As a rule of thumb, always ensure 3different price quotes before makeing any decision to buy. Once purchase done, do not regret and move on from there. Enjoy Animal Kaiser !!

Animal Kaiser's Arcade System Board

An arcade system board is a dedicated computer system created for the purpose of running video arcade games. Arcade system boards typically consist of a main system board with any number of supporting boards

The earliest non-microprocessor based arcade system boards were designed around codeless state machine computers with the main board and any support boards consisting of discrete logic circuits comprising each element of the game itself.

The next generation of arcade system boards, with the inclusion of microprocessor based technology, incorporated the game program code directly on the main system board via game code stored in ROM chips mounted on the main board.

Later arcade system boards, including the DECO Cassette System, SNK's Neo-Geo, Capcom's CPS-2, and Sega's NAOMI, separated the system board from the game program itself, akin to a home video game console and cartridge.


This method benefitted both manufacturers and arcade game owners. Once the system board was purchased, the owner could switch out the games at a fraction of the price and with less effort, and the manufacturers could produce fewer of the costly system boards and more of the less-costly games.

This is just a simple information for those electronic hardware freaks who's curious what type of arcade system board is used to power up Animal Kaiser machine

There are various types of NAMCO ARCADE HARDWARE as follow:
Photobucket

So...Which hardware type is use to power up Animal Kaiser system?

The answer is : Namco's System 16 -N2 Hardware (2003 -2008)
Photobucket

The System N2 Arcade Platform runs on an nForce2 based motherboard which NVIDIA developed, It is based on a GeForce graphics card running the graphics in OpenGL Format, It runs a Linux operating system which appears to be based on debian, It runs in an arcade game racing cabinet designed by Bandai Namco Games.

There is a great advantage in development because the N2 is based on PC development and porting is relatively easy and inexpensive to achieve due to the nature of the architecture.

The SEGA Lindbergh, Taito's Taito Type X and Taito Type X+ operate in a similar way to the N2 platform, except that they use other Operating systems.
