gackt_army | Bounty Killer info

bugackt gave me a couple of links to Japanese blog entries about Bounty Killer to gather some more information and, well, I tried. There you are.

Translated by akogare for gackt_army. Taking out only allowed with credit! Please comment before and state where it is going to be reposted.

The story revolves around two bounty hunters who have to fight monsters like Dracula and werewolves and seal them into cards. The names of the characters are Jessica Birkins/Barkins and Gide Bellecourt (thanks to

bugackt again who found the correct romanization for the last name!)
(taken from this blog)

-Delivery starts from October 5th
-regular price is 408,000yen (about $3,770)

There's a nationwide limit to 20,000 of these machines.

Next, there's a couple of goods related to Bounty Killer, namely a pamphlet, a lighter and a set of trump cards.

Picture taken from this blog.

edit: I just randomly checked Yahoo!Japan Auctions and saw that there's also a DVD.

Some info on the game itself:
-if you manage to get the red seven in all three slots, you'll be rewarded with 465 coins
-if you manage to get the white seven in all three slots, you'll be rewarded with 375 coins
-There are also two specials in the game called Bounty Time and Bounty Zone where you can get bonuses
-There was a lot more information on the actual game and bonuses and such but since I never even touched a slot machine and am completely unfamiliar with the terms used there I wasn't able to understand anything ^^;
-The game flow is like this: regular game (with four stages) -> Bonus -> Bounty Zone -> Bounty Time

Pictures taken from this blog.

You can watch two videos of the machine being used (one with the female character and one with Gackt) here.

Pretty much all writers (they played a demo version) said that the machine is fun and as expected, the sound is very good *laughs* as well as the graphics.
One blog said that they think even Gackt fans who are beginners (with slot machines) can play it without worries.

Thanks so much for helping out! I am already to our community shop in Japan to see if we can get members the merchandise, (but probably, not the game itself....)

I'll gladly help out anytime! I just went to Y!J auctions and saw there's also a DVD, I updated the post with more pictures.
Yeah I guess the game itself is kinda out of our price range ;)
In case the shop is somehow able to get their hands on the goods it would be great if you could tell me.

Very cool! Nice detailed post!

Thank you! :)

Thanks for the info!
Ahhh...the merchandise...I want them ToT Especially the dvd, the lighter and pack of cards. I don't even know why I want the lighter, I don't even smoke XD

Me too me too XD but as far as I know, it's forbidden to send lighters by mail so we can't get that :( If we can get any goods at all, that is.

Thanks a lot for all this precious infos....^w^....hhmm...I wonder ...what stuff is on the DVD...O.o...????

I wonder about that too o: Maybe the CG sequences one can see while playing the game, or some kinda making of. Exciting~

Yay! Thank you very much for translating. And adding that Y!Auction pics, that helped much. ^^

I like the DVD cover; it's so Gacktish ^_~

Thank YOU so much for finding all these links ^^

I think so, too ^_^

I missed reading the story yesterday.. and I just noticed... Jessica and Gide are like Sakura Kinimoto and Syaoran Li of the anime Cardcaptor Sakura... sealing the monsters into cards. XDDD

I thought exactly the same thing! XD When I was translating it I was like sealing monsters into cards? CCS much? I wonder whether Gide and Jessica also can use the power of a monster as soon as they sealed it lol

Ah I think yes, they might use the sealed monsters on the cards. (replied late lol) Then hear them shout "Release!" XDDDDD

Pretty much all writers (they played a demo version) said that the machine is fun and as expected, the sound is very good

LOL! xD Of course the sound is good! =P And, oh~ that merchandise...if I could, I'd want all of it. But, alas, I know such a thing is impossible. -O-

Oh well, I'm uber excited over the fact that the female character's name is Jessica (even though I really don't like the design of the character) because that's my name! So, now, I'm letting myself feel special because my name is the same as a computerized character who happens to be a character in the same Pinchinko game as Gackt's character...What a dork! =B

Thank you so much for the translating and finding out all that info., I really appreciate it! ^^

Yes I think that merchandise package has been given out to game parlour owners and such people to promote the machine so it will most likely be very expensive to get it through auctions =_=

I understand~XD I'd also be happy if she had my name (even though I have to agree, the design is ugly. >_>).

You're welcome ^^

Wow that was detailed, thanks a bunch!!! How I wish I can see at least one of those slot machines in at least one arcade here ~.~... I like the character designs, esp Gide's weapon thingy. I'm intrigued about the dvd and its content. I'm thinking maybe they put in a storyline for Bounty Killer (so as not to waste the gorgeous character designs).

I'm thinking maybe they put in a storyline for Bounty Killer
That's a good thought. Especially since I don't even know whether it is possible to tell any story during the actual game XD (I really don't know how people can play these machines anyway because all the jingling and stuff would drive me mad @_@)
I'm hoping they included the new song and it will make its way to the internet...

"Especially since I don't even know whether it is possible to tell any story during the actual game " That is so true!!! I'm also hoping for a new song, I was actuall ythinking something along the lines of Final Fantasy when I saw the character designs so I'm hoping for a good song as well (preferable if Gackt himself is singing ^.~). Hmmm... Will we be seeing him with the Gide hairstyle anytime soon? ~.~

Will we be seeing him with the Gide hairstyle anytime soon? ~.~
Ahaha~ I hope not. Though I loved platinum blonde/silver-haired Gackt, for the sake of his hair I wish he won't do it again (done that myself and even though I liked it a lot, the hair started doing notsofunny things. Like breaking when I was brushing it @-@;)

Wow. So much news so fast.
Thank you very much! ^^

You're very welcome ^^
