Anime Champ (GCA07 VER. JAA)

Konami’s Anime Champ arrived in Japan during December 2000 as the latest entry in their popular mini-game series. This multi-game cabinet supports up to three players who compete across a variety of quick, action-oriented challenges. Gameplay revolves around pressing buttons at precisely timed moments to succeed in each distinct game – expect frantic button mashing and reactions timed to the millisecond. Anime Champ continues the legacy started by earlier titles like Bishi Bashi Championship, utilizing Konami’s System 573 hardware, a combination of disc and cartridge technology. The collection features an array of mini-games designed for fast-paced, competitive fun between friends. As part of a larger franchise spanning several years, Anime Champ builds upon the established formula of accessible yet demanding gameplay that emphasizes quick reflexes and precise timing. Subsequent titles in the series would include Salaryman Champ and Great Bishi Bashi Champ.
