Kohdok Talks about WiXoss for a bit.

WiXoss (We-Cross) finally has its English Release! Granted, it was a while ago, meant to come in with the new Diva Format, but it started eight years ago with an attention-grabbing anime that the card game failed to capitalize on outside of Japan.
Just a note, this is an unscripted video about the history and mechanical design of WiXoss, not an unboxing video.

One thing I really don't like about the english translation is that the fontthe use and icons are very very tiny, I see Japanese cards and they don't seem to be so tiny, is so hardto read the english cards and the cost of things.

The Wixoss english release is reminding me a lot of the original Force of Will release in how it's cheaping out on the west version while charging just as much while also only releasing in a very small amount of stores, which is not a good thing cause that release died REAL fast.

[@glenmoody-elias1040]

I remember watching the original WiXoss anime. It was pretty good, soundtrack was good. Plot was good. I appreciated the show for being more than just a fancy advertisement for the physical card game. Speaking of the card game, I don't know how I feel about the support LRIGs, if they mostly have on-play effects just like how an arts would have. It probably works better in practice than in theory.

Oh nein, wenn mans einmal gesehen hat, kann man es nicht mehr nicht sehen.

[@kitetenjogalladeknighttosh8863]

I think the reason why Tomi is bringing Wixoss themselves, is probably because they don't want anyone else to mees up the disruption, translation, or heck changing the rules entirety (Like how Topps changed the rules of Hyper Coliseum when it appeared in America.) But that's my theory.

hey kohdok have you heard of marvel battleworld? seems like something youd look at on this channel

[@skeldrakus]

I need to recommend a product overview of Monster Club. It needs help and everything about it just seems so wrong. Nothing about gameplay seems aberrant in any form, it's the product marketing. There's no evident rarity system, all products are only available for purchase online, and it doesn't even seem like the game was ever playtested, having a "balancing system support" listed on their products. The booster sets are split into a 56 card set box and booster set of 54, each containing different cards. The starter decks are priced like a MTG planeswalker deck and only contain 3 extra cards in addition to one full deck. The rulebook has been updated for the first time just this year, and the game had begun selling since (from what I know) 2019, and I can't tell if their products even contain it. It's absurd.

[@empireyouth5791]

OK in defense of the practice of only include in a single mat with the rules on the back, this might be because I’m coming from Yu-Gi-Oh and that game you don’t like perspective , but When I was starting out (Or in yugioh Case getting back into it During the pendulum Period) I was recommended to buy three of the Yu-Gi-Oh (The monarch one) and two of the game you don’t like one(Chrono jet) and the issue solved itself, Granted I can understand if you think new player should only get one starter deck rather than two, I understand my playgroups recommendation isn’t automatically universal or apply to every single Tcg/ocg, and someone who is trying to be as light as possible on their hobbies spending can’t have that luxury even if the deck are affordable because multiplying it by two or three can increase the amount of money they spend drastically

[@duane_313]

As much as an anime fan i've always been, i'm not too big on the modern trend of cutesy anime character card fight games. kinda silly, and a lil creepy IMO. But the card backs are BEAUTIFUL !!!!

[@kagemushashien8394]

I'm not a big fan of games that takes anime like this: they have to show off the anime girls with barely any clothes, and I'm screaming inside "GET SOME CLOTHES ON YA NUB!", It's what makes me not play certain cards in yugioh and shows in the anime, and I say this while liking Ace Attorney, but the pink girl goes to jail and does not return so I say that's a win.

[@Darkpyromaniac16]

WiXoss has what I like to call the Arcana Heart problem. The game is fun to play and has interesting mechanics, but it's completely made up of anime girls (some of which wearing some questionable attire). It can be a major turnoff for many people, especially when these types of games/cards are generally associated with the sweatiest guys at the shop

[@MrZer093]

Yeah it’s why I felt it never came here to the west. Waifu games never tend to do nearly as well because it only appeals to certain types of people and even then there’s a subset that wants to be one of the few that goes into the waifu thing. Essentially a lot of sweaty guys tend not to like to be around mostly sweaty guys. Japan is an odd exception especially as plenty of girls flock to waifu games over there. You kind of need variety for a game to survive here in the west. Also I’m pretty sure some arts can’t come over uncensored in certain countries. Other card games got into trouble over that even. I have my doubts this will get far but hey, I don’t really care if I’m wrong
