Help identifying a Pachislo

[Gameking6]

My buddy picked this up and were trying to identify it.
I tried to post the image thru the forum but all it did was make a thumbnail it didn't matter if selected download image from computer or from a url. So here is a link

I apologize if this is the wrong forum and having to post a link.

Thank you so much you rock. Do you read Japanese or do you just know your machines? I obviously would never had figures it out. It is a 3 on the belly glass. What is the consensus on this model? Is everything in Japanese on it? We are still working on getting it going��. Anything to know about it?
Sincerely, thank you.

Thanks to Drunkinclam I did a couple searches and found a video of the machine in action. I had to use the Japanese spelling to find anything information. I'm wondering if this won't be a great first pachislo for him or me since we're beginners and it looks like everything is in Japanese. I'm wondering if a game with English interaction might be better what do you think?I would have just added to my message above but couldn't find the edit button.
Thank you again

I can't type the name in english without the line or the family filter kicks in . I can read a little Japanese. However once you've been here long enough certian themes keep cropping up and this is one of them.

Its based on the manga/anime of the same name.

Finding something with english may be hard as they were made exclusively for the Japanese market.

If its cheap enough, comes with a bunch of tokens. It might be worth playing it for a while to see how you like it. These machines play a lot differently to US/UK slot machines,

That's a really cool machine! Good theme too, Ashi ta no Joe (Tomorrow's Joe / Joe of Tomorrow) is an extremely popular and long-running franchise in Japan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashi ta_no_Joe (remove the space between "ashi ta" in the link, the forum filter reads it as a naughty word).

Also fairly universal in appeal, since it's boxing, even if it's all going to be in Japanese as nearly all pachinko / pachislo stuff is.

You guys are so kind to help a noobie out. I know Pachislo' are more interactive then American Slots and that was something I was looking forward to. This one seemed more complicated than most, it was probably just more confusing because so much is going on😀. Is there much difference between the 1,2 and 3 generations ? I couldn't find a video online with the 3rd gen? Thanks again
