Girls Und Panzer Pachinko: Opinions

[PachiFool]

So I have the opportunity to buy a Girls Und Panzer pachinko machine. I am a fan of the Anime and videos of the machine look impressive! Does anyone here own one or played one? Looking for reviews from owners/players. If you bought one, when and at what price? This will be my first newer pachinko machine and am a bit hesitant at spending money on a machine that I haven’t played. Also, it’s a 24v machine and the transformer being sold with it is fairly large and sits outside the machine. Is this typical or are there transformers available that can be installed in the machine? Most of my experience is with pachislos so excuse the newbie questions. Thanks!

There’s multiple pachinkos under that title. Which one? Picture might help.

I haven’t played any so I’m no help.

Just watch lots of videos; usually a good indication how much you might enjoy a machine. Owners of said machine are obviously biased anyway! I’ve heard lots of good things about that series pachinkos though!

Probably a beefy 10A or 12A transformer. Would be hard pressed to find one of them that will fit in the frame.

I've got that one actually, theme is fun, animatronics are decent but not amazing and the majority of the tank teams are locked away behind apps but there are apparently unlock codes out there.
It's not one of my top machines but if you enjoy the anime then you have nothing to worry about, it does it justice.

This is one of my favorite machines to play being that I enjoy the anime. A lot is going on during the game play as you approach a jackpot round with the triple screen display and the tankery challenge.

Just to clarify which model I have, I do have the one in your picture but mine is the 319ver which has a much longer time span between wins. I bought mine in 2017 direct from someone in Japan via FromJapan.com. As for price I remember it being very cheap as I don't think the seller knew what they had and listed it in an obscure ad where not many in the hobby may have seen it. But international shipping was still steep. You can select multiple teams and various tanks but many options are locked.

I couple pics of mine if you'd like. GUP front.jpgGUP back.jpg

I have a large transformer at 15amps that is too big to sit under the backside but if you extend the backside a bit then you could fit a transformer behind the machine. Mine sits behind the machine on the table which is okay. This is a little more power than needed but it's what I have for now.

A little gameplay here if you want more from my machine.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8azXLYrcx8

So what happens when you try to pick a team that is locked? Can you take a couple pics or video of any message that comes up when you try to pick a locked team? My connection in Japan wants to show it to her techs. Perhaps I can get some unlock codes for us.

I've played with this machine abit over the summer.
If anyone has any information on unlock codes I know someone who would love to use them.

I can pick and choose what looks to be teams that battle one another and the tanks to pick for each team but I have not translated the screens involved. I have not gone back after extended game play yet to see about gaining better options like advanced tanks, etc... The Q'r codes play into your ability to continue gameplay from where you last left off but I haven't been able to get this to work stateside yet.

Some pics of my game play option setup. Choosing a questionable or unavailable setting returns an empty or null response.

Thanks for the pics! So, just to clarify, the screens that show all the ???? Choices, those are the locked options that can’t be picked? I want to make sure that I am explaining it properly. Thanks!

[Peteybob]

Yes like the green pic with the tank I can only pick one of four tanks initially as an option while the rest are locked or unavailable. That is my take on how it works but I could be wrong and those are the only options.

[PachiFool]

My Japanese connection is telling me that those are unlocked by accumulating wins. The more you win, the more you unlock. She also says that if you shut down the machine for more than a week that you can lose any wins you have accumulated and have to start over again.

Just Because...

From my experience you need to download the app and it stores your progress and gives you a code to enter if you play on a different machine to restore your progress. I've fiddled with it a bit but haven't had time to do much yet.

[PachiFool]

Where do you download the app???

I've tried this several years ago but never got it worked out stateside. Could have been that I had an older version and perhaps it is worth looking at again.

I did play GUP for many hours last night. I first selected a team and one of three tanks offered and after more than a dozen jackpots my gameplay options didn't change. I guess if I read Japanese or had a good translation then I might be better off.

So it looks like all of the links for Apple Store apps give the same error message of “app not available in your country or region”

Just use a mobile VPN app like Tunnel Bear or something of the sort and use an IP address located in Japan.
