Micha King

Micha King (みちゃ王) is a coin-operated kinetoscope from Banpresto that played anime clips in Japanese arcades.

History
After the Playdia platform was discontinued in 1996, unsold consoles were repurposed by Banpresto, a subsidiary of Bandai that produced toys and games for the Japanese convenience store market. The front panel of the arcade cabinet offered a choice of 4 video clips to choose from. Inside the cabinet, a customized LED communicated with the existing Infrared Rays receiver on the Playdia console.

Titles
CD-ROMs made for the Micha King kinetoscopes are playable on standard Playdia consoles. Kits provided to arcade owners in 1996 contained a disc and new signage for the cabinet.
