World Club Champion Football
5 Japanese Arcade Games That Need to Come West
Now this one needs to come to the West. World Club Champion Football is like Lord of Vermilion in that it is a collectible card game where the cards function as playable characters in the arcade game, but instead of fantasy characters, you collect real life football players.
Doesn’t that sound a tiny bit like FIFA’s very successful Ultimate Team mode? In FIFA Ultimate Team, you buy and open packs which give you players that you can add to your squad. It’s been around since FIFA 09 and has grown to be what is probably the most popular mode in the games. YouTube and Twitch are filled with FIFA Ultimate Team content – people love it. But it’s missing one vital component: tangible cards. Behold World Club Champion Football. It’s basically FIFA Ultimate Team but with real cards that you can collect. With the popularity of Ultimate Team and the rise in collectible card game popularity in the West, it’s a no-brainer.
