Duel Terminals?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone encountered one of these machines yet? Is there one at your locals?

 

I'm trying to convince my store owner to get one, but he says it's not worth it. I keep telling him it'll pay for itself with all the people playing it, but he's a stubborn old Richard Garfield fanboy.

 

 

How much does it cost to play? What's the AI difficulty like? Is there ahy way I can convince him to get one?

No' date=' some stores in the US have received actual machines. An entire TCG Duel Terminal set list is available on Wikia. It is no longer a Japan-only thing.

I would still prefer, going to the store, buying a pack of cards, and opening it for the same price it would be to get 4 cards from there

 

9 Cards =/= 4 Cards

 

Though Genex is very cool....

yes, my Locals has one.

 

its takes dollars only: $1, $5, $10, $20

 

A.I. is pretty good *Jack stacks the hell outta his deck*

 

and i have yet to get any REALLY "bad" cards outta of it, seeing how i've gotta my Genex set now, Goyo, 2 Catastors', a misprint Nitro Warrior, and a lot of other cards from Duel Terminal 2. the only down side is that until the cards are mass released you cant play them :/ but IMO its been a great investment.

you have to use the duel terminal cards, you put a dollar (no coins) in, you get a card.

three modes on it:

action duel: button pressing

speed duel: have a small duel where you can scan in some cards you got

get a card: <-

 

the machine will prompt you to scan a card, where you then take the duel termimal card and put it on the scanner thingy.

 

 

you can tell if a card is a duel terminal card due to its set number and the sparkles on it.

 

No matter what, don't try using non-duel terminal cards with it, you will look exteremely failish and noobish if you do (seen people at locals try, sooooooo funny)

We got lucky and the locals I go to had one installed the weekend before last.

 

It's kinda fun, but it really loses its novelty after a game. Me and my friends played. James got a Share The Pain and lost to Yugi. John got a Flamvell Fiend and beat Jaden, then got a bonus round against Jesse and lost. I played Kaiba and beat him (he was pretty easy, surprisingly) with the Flamvell Deck on the game. The top team from our city spent all night on that game getting all the cards, which was annoying because we were only supposed to play one game before letting someone else get on.

 

Last weekend though, quite literally the only one who played it was a little kid. Its fun for a game or two, but as stated it loses its novelty after that.

the reason is more profit for the Nazis who work at konami

 

I was also thinking that it would a lot of time, both on the production front, and while playing.

 

I may be good enough on time crisis 1-4 to make it through the first stage set on 1 credit, but it takes a good long time.

 

time that makes the place that has it (usualy the movie theater.) not make as much profit, because I carry my partner with me fairly well.

 

 

a similar situation would come up on these terminals, I'd make it in an endurence duel set about 4 games before getting finally beaten with my experimental decks, but a soild, completed one? 8 or 9 easy, since you can make the computer run right into every trap you set, not to mention that computers usualy follow a pattern, so once they do a certain action, you know with relitive certainty that certain things are not going to happen.

 

 

I think actualy it would be more interesting if they made a hockey table kind of thing, and make it into a duel arena from the first anime, and charged for it. card shops would love that.
