Rumours / Hearsay / Gossips...
* Version 3 - English is coming to Singapore @ March 2010 accordingly to one of our local well known seller...not sure true or not?
* 7-11 store's Animal Kaiser machines will be changed to accept 2x $1 coins instead of the usual 4x 50 cent coins
* There is no drop in Price ~ remain as $2 per game
* Rumour says that there will be different sequence for every new batch lot of animal kaiser ...it will be very confusing with 1001 kinds of sequence...Playing in Malaysia is cheaper BUT they have different sequence compare to Singapore
* ZoneX will continue to shuffle their cards before loading. Someone told me that other arcade centers may consider to shuffle the cards too.
* Champion Shark to be introduced during Februrary or March for tournament prize.(source:unknown...could not confirm on this information)
* Some arcades do not recognize the usage of Japan cards during tournament
* All battle tournament (from all arcade centers) will be standardise as $5 with strict registration process
* 3 times champions are still BAN from taking all tournament
* Night Market (Pasir Malan) had stalls selling taiwan made Animal Kaiser card albums at a very Cheap price . (Not sure is it original copy or pirated "made in china or Malaysia" ?)
* At first , we come across CHINESE word pirated fake cards ...but now there is also ENGLISH word fake cards flooding into the market !
* Price for Version 2 cards will continue to drop further as now supply is greater than demand in singapore. Current Version 1 Gold had dropped to $30. Full version 1 set will dropped below $300 & Version 2 set to drop below $400. The entire market is now very un-stable. Some BIG Sellers are now selling their cards or full set to outside market such as indonesia , phillipines , Malaysia etc
*Got some "secret" information that one CRAZY guy going to FLOOD Singapore everywhere with super -LOW Japan card's prices(inclusive those foil)...Many other Japan card sellers will be suffering from this "HERO-Save the world" act...anyway, this is free market...you got $$ to throw...then throw loh...nobody else can stop YOU !
* Some of the Hougang Auties gangs had temporary disband and they are now waiting for a big come-back when version 3 launch @ later stage.
* There will be a Major upcoming tournament to be organised by some "BIG PLAYERS" from zoneX forum. It will have children and audlt contest. Target to held during March school holiday week ...currently, they are looking for prize sponsership. There will be special prize and soft dolls for children winners
The END of Animal Kaiser ?
* I also heard someone talking about the end of animal Kaiser game (Singapore ) maybe by Version 5 or 6.. at the rate that we are going through... There is even a topic posted at ZoneX forum to discuss about the dooms day of animal Kaiser
Last version of dinourausr king is Ver11
Last version for musiking is Ver17
Last version for Animal kaiser (Japan)....unknown...still going strong since launch in year 2007 !!
Last version for Animal kaiser (Singapore)....ANYTIME as long as they don’t decrease the price to $1.50 or maybe $1
~~~ $2 is freaking expensive !!
Some arcade SHUFFLE the cards before loading....this is digging its graveyard for Animal Kaiser
Those who had sequence had already boycoit and avoid such arcade ....the management of such place make the wrong plan...now they losing big time business everyday !

Animal Kaiser ensnares parents (Newspaper Report)
Published @ Straits Times , 17 Jan 2010
Mr Jack Ng,40 (ZoneX nick :Spaceshutter), his wife Ivy Chang, 38, and their sons Reubin Ng, five, and Riordan Ng, 10, at an Animal Kaiser gaming machine at the Zone X arcade in White Sands Shopping Centre.
Report:
Some parents here seem to have caught the 'AK' virus.
The symptoms? They go online to haggle over game cards featuring animal avatars like Bengal Tiger, Dark Scorpion and Brown Bear. Some have forked out more than $100 for highly sought-after cards traded online.
'AK' is Animal Kaiser, an arcade game that has caught the fancy of children, mostly primary school pupils. Many parents start out accompanying their kids to the arcades, then get hooked too.
Others, eager to see their children win, log onto online forums to buy and trade cards, the more 'powerful' of which can give the player an edge.
In Animal Kaiser, up to two players use their animal avatars to duel. First-timers do not get to choose their avatars. They get their first cards, randomly chosen, after that.
Seasoned players begin by placing their animal cards on the gaming kiosk's barcode scanner. The animals have different numbers, with the stronger ones having higher scores. Powerful ones include Gold Lion and Gold Red Scorpion.
There are also 'strong' and 'miracle' cards that can be mixed and matched to enhance one's attacking force or confer special powers, like hurling a meteor shower.
Each session costs $2 and lasts from five to 10 minutes, depending on the duellers' strengths. After each game, a player gets a new card.
Animal Kaiser was introduced here in July 2008 by arcade operators Zone X, Timezone and TKA Amusement. Since June last year, the game can also be played at iEcon minimarts and 7-Eleven stores. There are now about 200 kiosks throughout Singapore.
One parent, Mr Jack Ng, 40, recalled paying $180 for a 'rare' Gold Red Scorpion card in May last year. The civil servant bought the card from a seller on Zone X's online forum.
The card has allowed his two sons, aged five and 10, to bag three championships in Animal Kaiser tournaments organised by Zone X throughout Singapore on Sundays.
For the past year, Mr Ng and his sons have been visiting arcades every weekend. He claims the game develops analytical skills as 'the boys have to know which cards to mix and match for the best results'.
Mr Ng has spent close to $4,000 to garner a collection of 300 Animal Kaiser cards, bought from people who advertised on Zone X's forum.
Some parents have also gathered on the SingaporeMotherhood.com forum, not to discuss parenting tips but to trade these cards. One post read: 'My son just got contaminated with the AK virus, sigh. I'm looking for cards. Anyone with extras to sell please e-mail me.'
Price lists for various avatar cards appear on forums.
One seller, Mrs Wendy Ong (ZoneX nick : Donkey), 39, said she managed to sell a 'gold lion' card for $80. She has spent a total of $100 on these cards since she started playing the game with her two sons, aged 13 and 10, about a year ago.
The manager at a private school said she 'dislikes' the game but plays with her children to bond with them.
Others are not sure if this is the way to bond. Dr Carol Balhetchet, director of youth services at Singapore Children's Society, said: 'Is our society so bored that we have nowhere to go?
'If adults, supposedly cognitively mature, can get addicted to computer games, how much more children?' She added that board games like Monopoly and Scrabble can create the same family bonding opportunity indoors.
Admitting that there is a risk of addiction, Mrs Ong allows her sons to play once a week and only when they 'behave', and limits each session to just half an hour.
On his part, Mr Ng lets his children go to the arcades only when they have done their homework. 'My aim is to balance study and play time,' he said.
