"Zenigata Is The Main Character 4" pachislot hits Japan!
Check out this PV of an upcoming Pachinko Slot game in Japan - starring everyone’s favourite ICPO inspector, Koichi Zenigata, as the protagonist!
L主役は銭形4 (roughly translating to Zenigata Is The Main Character 4) is the latest in the long line-up of Lupin III pachislot games to star the lovable cop, and is due for release in Japan during 2023. The game features new animation, with character design based on that of Lupin III: Part 5, along with a special throwback mode that features characters and sounds from Lupin III: Part 2.
The game also celebrates the 25th anniversary of the team-up between TMS and Heiwa, with the first Heiwa Lupin pachinko machine hitting Japan back in the 1990s.
Alongside the longer, feature showcase video (embedded above), a variety of shorter television style commercials for the game can be found via Heiwa's official YouTube channel.
If you do plan on playing it - remember, pachinko and pachislot is a form of gambling. Be aware of the potential consequences, and play smart.
… C'mon, TMS. We've had plenty of Zenigata themed pachinko games - why not an animated spin-off show?! Please? Please?
