Pachinko fiends have obtained another incentive to fuel their addictions by way of this new Code Geass R2 machine, featuring an overabundance of footage from the anime combined with the usual myriad of flashing lights that will no doubt send otaku-gamblers into a frenzy, in addition to draining their wallets.
The pachinko machine:

This better not be the 10th anniversary celebration of the series. I want Goro to work on the R2 he wanted to make without the BS plot changes that he had to do.
Lelouch Vi Britannia commands you, empty your wallets!
Who cares? Stupid crappy pachinko machines, why not video games that give prizes? Something different, but no, just the same dull crap, no innovation.
You can play a generic pachinko/slot machine while a trailer for an anime that you probably saw five or ten years ago plays in the background!
If it had new animation and added bits of lore expanding on the anime in some way, I could see the draw, but it just seems to be feeding money into a machine to see random recycled clips. I suppose it’s mainly just intended as theming for the gambling aspect of the machine, but it seems like more could be done with that.
Oh. Japanese people catering to their japanese audience with their japanese products.
Horrifying.
