"Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa Mo Teiban! Asia Edition" (hereafter, Momotetsu Reiwa Teiban) will be released for seven countries and regions in Asia on Thursday, December 12, 2024.
It was released in Japan in 2020 and became a huge hit with over 4 million units sold.
Prior to its release, a trial event for "Momotetsu Reiwa Teiban" was held at Konami Hong Kong!
The Saiga NAK editorial department also participated in the "Momotetsu Reiwa Teiban" trial event, and we're here to report on it!
To Konami Hong Kong, the Trial Event Venue!
We came to Konami in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong!
Upon arriving at the venue, we were greeted by life-size panels of Momotaro, Yashahime, Urashima, Kintaro, and Binbougami.
Momotaro's hat was also at the venue!
We wanted to try it right away, but first, a game explanation!
The venue, with panels of Urashima and Kintaro, was entirely themed around Momotetsu.
We need to learn the rules thoroughly before taking on the challenge.
There was also an explanation for Bomby, who causes significant damage to players.
If he latches on to you, you'll incur debt or lose cards, so you need to plan your Bomby countermeasures carefully as you play the game.
Mini Bomby transforms from Binbougami.
He's a good Bomby who gives you pocket money, but you need to take action before he turns back into Binbougami.
Actual Gameplay!
After receiving a thorough explanation, we played the game!
From now on, we'll travel all over Japan, buy up properties, and aim to be number one in total assets.
