Minirobot’s Metal Fighter Gets Gaming Gig
First there was MechaTraX’s Robo Catcher; a gachapon game where you take control of a bipedal robot to pick up, carry, and toss prizes into an awaiting dispenser. The Japanese version of the classic UFO catcher now has some competition from South Korea’s Minirobot – the makers of the Robonova (Robozak) hobby kits. Their new hobby kit, Metal Fighter, is taking up residence inside a similar cabinet where it can be used by coordinated players to collect prizes. The game will go on sale next month, and Minirobot expects it will be a popular attraction at theme parks, movie theaters, and arcades. Watch Robo Catcher being played in the following video:
