So far Godzilla vs Evangelion has seen a mixed reception from international fans. The game looks great but it is of course a pachinko game. This means that it not only advocates for gambling but will likely never be released outside of Japan. Many of these fans have expressed their disappointment over social media. Many believe that the concept of Eva and Godzilla crossing over would be amazing if it just wasn’t a pachinko game:

Nice! Everyone wanted a Pachinko game, and absolutely nobody was asking for a live action movie, animated movie, or video game. https://t.co/XLUVEZ0U4g

Just a shame really cool stuff like this is wasted on pachinko instead of getting used in a video game or a movie.

While it may not make sense to us outside Japan, the truth is that pachinko games are far cheaper to make than full console/PC titles and can make millions in revenue. For example, Sega Sammy saw their profits surge in large part due to pachinko machines. We’re not saying that they’re a good or bad thing but there’s a reason why Japanese companies make so many of them.
