This was the closest thing we could have to yu gi oh in the real world. The idea your card has power to appear on screen will always have a special place in my heart
I am currently at my bed at 3 am remembered this wacky arcade card game I used to play as a kid and then started trying to figure out what it was. This was one hell of a nostalgia hit for me.
@@PIXELPORTABLE there's a game I found that's slightly similar called dino king its like animal kaiser but in a rock paper scissors format and obviously dinosaurs rather than animals
This is so nostalgic. I was looking at old cards and others and then I saw a red binder with animal kaiser cards. And then I remembered I used to have a big binder filled with animal kaiser cards. And I found a box with animal kaiser cards. I was so addicted that my uncle printed some of the barcodes so I don't need to get them to use them. I use to force my mom to let me play every time I see it. Its amazing that someone's recognizing the beauty of this amazing arcade game
Fantastic comment, thanks for bringing me into a bit of the joy this game gave you! I'm only sad I only discovered it when it had died out. I'm looking forward to returning to thailand and playing some more!!
This was the shits during my childhood there were even fake booster boxes with cards thay actually worked and everyone wanted the rare boss cards this was everything from around 2010s i think i stopped properly around 2016 or 2017 and didn't play it when it was still around sadly now i think cards are no longer being produced and so no more machines are around where i live sadly oh the good old days
My favorite game when I found it on holiday, found it again now, still love it. Too bad it isn’t able to be got anywhere but arcades, I'd pay good money to get it on console or PC, or something else.
Same here! I live somewhere in Indonesia and the game was fairly popular at the time it was released in my country (around 2010 ish), and nowadays it's hard to find the old version of the game since they all got replaced with the new "Strong Animal Kaiser" machine which needs a different set of cards than the old one.. I still have my big collection of cards but now it's collecting dust because I can't find a machine to play them on anymore :(
I fucking love this game so much, holy shit the music and animations went SO DAMN RAW, I miss it so much Really hoping for a home release somehow, someday
I used to love this when I went on holiday to Devon like 7-8 years ago and played this and gathered a decent stash but I lost it a long time ago and have never seen a mention of animal kaiser ever again until I saw this
UPDATE: After travelling the entier of Japan over the space of 6 months I didn't manage to find a single cabinet... I still have one here in Thailand so my new goal is to finally beat Gideon! Wish me luck! :D
@@Athrun0I did! I travelled from Jakata, along to Yogyakarta then to Bali and across to Badjo. I saw one machine in Jakarta and it didn't give out prize cards :(
for real, animal is kaiser is the only game that has a special place in my heart, because the only time i've ever had the most epic gacha in my life, it was on animal kaiser, not genshin or any other gacha games. I got a fuc*ing Kaiser Rajan dude
I randomly remembered this game and it was my entire childhood.. I still have my stack of cards stored somewhere but I can't play them anymore cuz I've been going around trying to look for the arcade machine with no luck of finding any.. There's probably a way to buy the machine online but i wouldn't know how much it would cost, and with how obscure this game is it's probably going to be pretty hard to find one.
Yeah, getting hold of a machine would be great but hard work to track one down. There's new machines coming to the UK at least sometime soon so depending on how hard it is for you to get to the UK that could be an option! Good luck.
Thank you for the kind words JoshuaTheBest!! I'm now back in the UK and apparently they still have tournaments on Animal Kaiser here!! I'll be making a video as soon as I get time to go visit the locations! 🫡
god i miss this game so much, used to play it at the arcade monthly until one day it was just gone didn't know that it was discontinued until i watched this video
Talking Animal Kaiser without talking about the OG trading Card scanning game Mushiking , Love&Berry and Dinosaur King? At least Mushiking got 1 near accurate ds port that solds with a scanner for japanese card, 3 avgs named greatest road to the victory
Thanks for the comment! I only talk about the things I've played, however if you check the page posts or my Instagram you'll see I've got the Mushiking DS port! Just waiting on some cards. And, as an advanced spoiler for future content, I've also got both Dinosaur king AND Taisen Bardigun to talk about once played, so Get subscribed if you're interested in seeing them both covered in the future!!
I remembered seeing a random picture of a lion and a shark along with animal cards in google images and i could not figure out the name of this game until now.
The chaos of cabinets games like that just make it all the more fun. Reminds me of the Tram/Metro Racing Cabinet that exists, and similarly to the PC game Fight Crab.
That's awesome! What's really fun is normally I'm the guy talking about games I've played to people who are sometimes too young to have played them when they came out. But this time I'm the one now discovering a game that I never played but younger people did... And that's awesome!
Man back then this was my go to game whenever i go to malls and arcades. And despite how stupidly ridiculous the attacks can be, but it's still fun to play imo. Too bad i never got to experience Great AK on top of now the game is now discontinued Probably uncalled for but, despite the simple role number gameplay this game has quite the lore for the "character" animals (not those generic ones). Starting from Dark Force arrival, ancient beast, kaiser awakening, mecha rampage, space invaders, and so on lol
The final antagonist which was Vertus was quite lame when it comes to motivation. In a nutshell he was "hahaha! I'll destroy the entire universe because i'm evil!". If he was like Beerus or Galactus, he would've been a lot better.
I've just had the pleasure of walking around the Pokemon Center at Tokyo Skytree. Where I saw the new cabinets for a new Pokemon arcade game that is basically the same as animal kaiser, but you have these plastic long plates (think squashed sausage). You can use a mega evolution bracelet on the machine to gigantimax the pokemon. Basically, animal kaiser is dead but a new game using pokemon IP will be good for those that miss this kind of game!!
Remembered playing these back in the day. At first i have the cards from school bazaars and other places, but have no ideas how and where to play them. Then i got more cards, and i started playing them in arcades. And then i bought more cards, even traded some with a friend (IT WAS A MR FOOTBALLFISH). Sadly they were no more booths and only my cards are left. But if they did a digital release for these cards, sell me out
when I still lived in Indonesia this was my childhood, I remember getting out of school every few days and go to the mall just to play Animal Kaiser, but now I've moved to North America and haven't seen any
Sadly I only saw one in Indonesia and it didn't give out card prizes. I didn't even see one in Japan, and I travelled across the whole country and was there for 6 months 🥲. Indonesia has the best coffee, love that country! I made a indonesia focused video on the channel, talking about the game "coffee talk" check it out if you're interested!
@@PIXELPORTABLE when I went for a vacation there I saw other games that were simular that didn't give cards, but I will definitely check out your video
Animal kaiser was fun that has never been replicated at least for me. I could watch the attack animations forever. My luck in cards I got was pretty universally bad until I got the spiny turtle kaiser. I was pretty happy that day.
Yeah the attacks and how wacky it is with the juxtaposition of being done by normal animals is what I love!! I don't know if it'll ever be recreated in a meaningful way.
@@PIXELPORTABLE Yeah in particular my favorites were the sea urchins for just being so out there and for having weirdly juiced stats for their rarity. They never got like an ultra rare variant but a lot of the fun of the game was using different low rarity animal cards instead of the named characters lol
Gonna try shorten this, but apologies if I accidentally drop my life story on you. Basically, for the last 2 days I have been researching the locations of the Animal Kaiser machines so I can play them one more time. I even still have a card from the first time I played it in 2017. Anyways, during my (very important) research, I was sent this video by a friend. Now, high quality and genuinely funny video aside, this video help me 1) remember what this game was originally like when I first played it, and 2) that people actually still care about this game. Thanks for the motivation, and the actually quality video. TLDR; i was researching animal kaiser, found your video, it gave me motivation to keep researching. thanks for the motivation. :)
Ah that's fantastic! I'm practically brand new to the series so I'm a bit of a newbie but I totally love the game for it's cards and wacky gameplay. I'm truly grateful that you found the video useful. I'm a new channel and it means a lot to know the content connected with an audience, I appreciate it and good luck with your important research!!
I fucking loved this arcade game in this one holiday park that my family always went to, it was always there and I staked up 67 cards which were a £1 each. But when we went last year the machine wasn’t there anymore and I was gutted I would fucking die to see one of the machines again and play I loved watching the battle animations it always made me smile and laugh watching gameplay rn gives me hella nostalgia also I feel so cool having gold cards and usually being able to finish thru the last rounds when in solo 😎😎😎😎 Fucking reincarnated priest mammoth I love that it’s funny it’s cause you’d actually probably see something like that I love this game to my very core it deserves so much attention
It's a really fun game to play. And in todays world it's rare to find games that are just pure fun and cause you to laugh and smile! Plus, it's cool as hell having some dope-ass cards to show for your effort!
😂 The hardest but is going to be the card reader unless it works via webcam it something, which in theory should work. World have been nice if the cards had argumented reality, where you use a phone app to make them come alive.
I first played this game back in 2012 I was like 7. I don't even know how you managed to get access to this game cause they stopped production in 2019. I haven't played this game since 2014 and I have a huge collection of cards collecting dust in my closet all in ridiculously bad condition 😭
This was now about 2 years ago in Thialnd, since then the machine I played has been removed. The good news however is that a BRAND NEW reboot of the game just dropped here in the UK and I'll be making a video on it very very soon!!!!
Would love to play more machines! Found a 8 machine in Indonesia but it didn't give out cards! I was so sad. Almost beat the shark boss until it resurrected again and split me in half with a grim reaper, I survived on "survivor" skill and went dark force but it just split me in half again 😂 one day I'll beat a boss and I'll feel great
How does that work with the card scanning? or is it just basegame emulation with no cards. Also, keep tuned as I have a video going out at the weekend about the brand new animal kaiser that just released :D
@@PIXELPORTABLE the card scanning uses an external app which sends the barcode data through. Certainly not got the same charm as actually scanning, but you could use a scanner to read the data from a real card if you wanted! Also, if you find one of the new cabinets, please let me know where! I am waiting (not so) patiently for AK+ to come out near me! 😂
@@twilightknight09 My newe video comes out this weekend on it (currently editing the video) IF you are UK based, the easiest location to play the new* Animal Kaiser machines is Camden Bandai Cross Store in London, there's where I got permission to film and it's one of the few locations in London, the rest are on the coast at Holiday parks. Thank you so much for the info on the emulator AND the ability to playwith your old cards, I'm going to have to set up a emulation station just for it so my friends cna have beers and play Animal kaiser when they visit!! Like I say, stay tuned for my new video this weekend (I also have a new video coming out in 2 hours time, but that's not animal kaiser related)
@@biolossauro3261 A new arcade machine was announced in December 2023 for the UK. (likley a english port of a japanese machine). I'll make a video on it if it's released and I can get to one.
@@PIXELPORTABLE sorry to ruin your expectation, the game is discontinued already, even Great Animal Kaiser (newest) cant compete with mobile games since 2014, most of kids have their own smartphone already around that year. But u can still see some footage of it in youtube, like fighting an alien whale who can destroy earth with only his tail swing, or Mecha Animal that can combined into a frickin gundam
I don't know how this got recommended to me but THIS JUST UNLOCKED THE HIDDEN MEMORIES WITHIN ME. DUDE. I used to have a full box filled with these cards
That's incredible!! I'm happy to bring up good memories for you and it's funny I'm only just discovering it myself!! I really want to get some of the 8th set. So far no luck.
Apperantly there's a few in the UK. I've not seen any in Singapore, New Zealand, Samoa and Japan. Indonesia had one or two, Thailand seems to have a few still.
Isnt Master Leo was the most Rarest now?, since Lion always make a comeback in animal kaiser franchise. Master Animal Have two best attack, so u can choose which one to be powered up. Mecha Eagle,shark,gorilla are sooo downgraded for whatever reason. But damn, Death Scorch Curse of the Nether is an instakill ability (still need luck tho)
I have only found these in south east Asia when I visit Thailand, if anybody knows a location in California please reply an arcade with it! I have been dying to play 😂
@@Nonagonorganic hi man ! Ohh no i meant the arcade machine itself still works fine like it was intented. But in my place all over the nation (Indonesia), no machine would give out cards as the prize at the end of playing since well the you know this game is discontinued, so not even the arcade center has the card stocks anymore. So the machines are still playable, can still scan the cards as intented. Maybe on the other side of the globe some arcades still give out cards, but in my place they never anymore so now the price for playing AK in my place is reduced from formerly 6 tokes to just 3. Tho it's neighbor game Hero of Robots still give out cards till now 🤔
Mine used to be Oorlog, the dark elephant (that's the strongest I've pulled myself). I was however recently given Mecha Lion-Elite and that's now probably my strongest.
@@PIXELPORTABLE I don't remember but i think it was in english, because i remember a older kid who knew english being able to translate the cards and the game to me.
Hey!! it's all I've played! I'm not going to talk about a version I haven't even tried 😂 Hopefully I get to play some of the newer ones at my next location.
This was the closest thing we could have to yu gi oh in the real world. The idea your card has power to appear on screen will always have a special place in my heart
Yeah it's a great game and like you say, having that bridge between the physical and digital worlds was really fun!!
I am currently at my bed at 3 am remembered this wacky arcade card game I used to play as a kid and then started trying to figure out what it was. This was one hell of a nostalgia hit for me.

More games need attacks that feel like GF summons from FF8. It's a sure-fire way to ensure at least that I'll play it!!
Man i Miss this game hope this game Will last forever because its fun and the design and the game is very good i hope i can buy the machine
I would love a machine also!! It's just a lot of fun!!
@@PIXELPORTABLE i the're still strong animal kaiser in Indonesia?
i need to find this game and play it, it sounds awesome!
It's just fun, and that's kinda refreshing!
Unsure if you know, but it's possible to emulate the versions of the game from Evolution 1 to Evolution 8
How does that work with the card scanning? or is it just basegame emulation with no cards.
Also, keep tuned as I have a video going out at the weekend about the brand new animal kaiser that just released :D
@@PIXELPORTABLE the card scanning uses an external app which sends the barcode data through. Certainly not got the same charm as actually scanning, but you could use a scanner to read the data from a real card if you wanted!
Also, if you find one of the new cabinets, please let me know where! I am waiting (not so) patiently for AK+ to come out near me! 😂
@@twilightknight09 My newe video comes out this weekend on it (currently editing the video) IF you are UK based, the easiest location to play the new* Animal Kaiser machines is Camden Bandai Cross Store in London, there's where I got permission to film and it's one of the few locations in London, the rest are on the coast at Holiday parks.
Thank you so much for the info on the emulator AND the ability to playwith your old cards, I'm going to have to set up a emulation station just for it so my friends cna have beers and play Animal kaiser when they visit!! Like I say, stay tuned for my new video this weekend (I also have a new video coming out in 2 hours time, but that's not animal kaiser related)
if they made this an actual mobile game im going to fking lose my mind in a good way.
Yeah I'd totally be up for that! It'd be easy to make profitable through micro transactions also!
My childhood right here
An amazing part of a childhood to have!!
For me it's now a part of my adulthood 😂
It's cursed in a good way
Exactly this! Apperantly there's a new cab coming (according to the offical facebook page for UK). The game isn't as dead as we thought!!
@@PIXELPORTABLEwhat do you mean by that?
@@biolossauro3261 A new arcade machine was announced in December 2023 for the UK. (likley a english port of a japanese machine).
I'll make a video on it if it's released and I can get to one.
@@PIXELPORTABLE but didnt they stop producing cards?
This game is so popular in Southeast Asia, especially indonesia and singapore
That's fantastic info I'll have to pay it in those countries!
@@PIXELPORTABLE sorry to ruin your expectation, the game is discontinued already, even Great Animal Kaiser (newest) cant compete with mobile games since 2014, most of kids have their own smartphone already around that year. But u can still see some footage of it in youtube, like fighting an alien whale who can destroy earth with only his tail swing, or Mecha Animal that can combined into a frickin gundam
@@scorchpunyasubhan7143 I might get lucky and find some cabinets in Indonesia, I found them in Thailand so there is hope!! 😁
I don't know how this got recommended to me but THIS JUST UNLOCKED THE HIDDEN MEMORIES WITHIN ME. DUDE. I used to have a full box filled with these cards
That's incredible!! I'm happy to bring up good memories for you and it's funny I'm only just discovering it myself!!
I really want to get some of the 8th set. So far no luck.
I know this arcade game why? BECAUSE ITS MY CHILDHOOD
in 2019 i got like 60 cards while on my holiday and still have them
Fantastic!! Keep them in good condition and they might be worth more than you'd think in 10 years.
Heh, 150card for me, since i already play it like ten years ago
Animal kaiser will be back?
If I find another machine I'll put it in my travel vlogs.
@@PIXELPORTABLE u can find at china bro
@@giananargya9085 currently in Indonesia, but if I make it there I'll take a look!!
@@PIXELPORTABLE where you going to china?? Don't forget up in tiktok or ig or yt 😁
my friend is it still alive in other countries?
Apperantly there's a few in the UK.
I've not seen any in Singapore, New Zealand, Samoa and Japan.
Indonesia had one or two, Thailand seems to have a few still.
@@PIXELPORTABLE damn im only in Singapore and ive always wanted to abuse Geronimo for the maximum version
if im not wrong he could be one of the ultra rare cards
@@Ilovehaidilao I don't know, it's hard to find places to play.
I'm definitely going to play some more when I'm back to Thailand.
@@PIXELPORTABLE alright
i played this as a child
so much
so so much
It's great isn't it!!
@@PIXELPORTABLE i got the armageddon card for animal kaiser, i think it was the last animal kaiser game before "Strong Animal Kaiser Evolutions"
@@darkexcel my cards are all old 4th set stuff, probably my best card is Saturn saw, which always cracks me up when it happens.
@@PIXELPORTABLE "call upon a miracle!"
the miracle: haha Saturn ring go brrrrrrr
literal seconds later,
earth: *exists*
hold up
@@darkexcel 😂
There was a console of it at a butlins site, I dont know if it still stands though :(
Amazing!! It's such a fun game and I can see it being a good choice for a butlins.
nope, not anymor. im staying there rn
yo bro i have the most legendary and veteran card and that is the gold rare lion(version 1)👍
Isnt Master Leo was the most Rarest now?, since Lion always make a comeback in animal kaiser franchise.
Master Animal Have two best attack, so u can choose which one to be powered up. Mecha Eagle,shark,gorilla are sooo downgraded for whatever reason.
But damn, Death Scorch Curse of the Nether is an instakill ability (still need luck tho)
This was my childhood 😭
I love animal kaiser
Me and you both!
i loved animal kaiser
It's such a special series!
Only asia exclusive lol, but they release it in UK
I miss playing this game
It's great fun!!
I have only found these in south east Asia when I visit Thailand, if anybody knows a location in California please reply an arcade with it! I have been dying to play 😂
I found a pair of evo8 in Indonesia (Jakarta) but the machine doesn't give cards... :(
@@PIXELPORTABLE now no machines in the world give out cards anymore, because they're out of production (discontinued)
@@ernestorio3550 Intersting! The arcade in thailand does! That's where I got mine, but they are only old EVO 4 ones.
@@ernestorio3550 are you talking about specific versions? The ver.6 one I played works fine
@@Nonagonorganic hi man ! Ohh no i meant the arcade machine itself still works fine like it was intented. But in my place all over the nation (Indonesia), no machine would give out cards as the prize at the end of playing since well the you know this game is discontinued, so not even the arcade center has the card stocks anymore. So the machines are still playable, can still scan the cards as intented. Maybe on the other side of the globe some arcades still give out cards, but in my place they never anymore so now the price for playing AK in my place is reduced from formerly 6 tokes to just 3. Tho it's neighbor game Hero of Robots still give out cards till now 🤔
I love this game sm, I got all the cards
Oh that's great! You must have played a lot!!
ANIMAL KAISER FANS🎉
COMMENT DOWN BELOW YOUR STRONGEST ANIMAL CARD 👇
Mine used to be Oorlog, the dark elephant (that's the strongest I've pulled myself).
I was however recently given Mecha Lion-Elite and that's now probably my strongest.
Mine is master Leo and admiral eraser 😁
Cards have stopped production 😢❤
Does anyone know wheres a animal kaiser machine in the uk
The animal kaiser UK Facebook page has a Google doc with all the known locations on it!! I'll link it here when I'm free later.

I used to play this as a child here in Brazil, i have no idea how such obscure game came to Brazil.
Seems like it managed to get everywhere in the world!! Just another reason to like it.
What language was the game in over there in Brazil?
@@PIXELPORTABLE I don't remember but i think it was in english, because i remember a older kid who knew english being able to translate the cards and the game to me.
No, the real question is : Is animal kaiser give you a gambling addiction? Caudr the answer will be yes
You might be right... 😅
funfact:you can play it via play emulator on pc!!
Sounds great I'll have to try it, but how do you add cards?!
@@PIXELPORTABLE with a application called Ak card scanner
They stoped producing the cards😢😢😢😢😢
They making a remake in march 🙏🙏
@@divockorigi1823 omg you are joking
Bro explained the old version 💀
Hey!! it's all I've played! I'm not going to talk about a version I haven't even tried 😂
Hopefully I get to play some of the newer ones at my next location.
@@PIXELPORTABLEIt did stop production in 2016 which begs the question how you would try the new version 😅
Dinosaur king but cooler
Yeah!! It's a lot of fun!
