Konami Arcade Games has announced that its card printing game machine for amusement facilities, 'Card Connect,' is currently holding a collaboration design event with the character 'Esther Bunny' by illustrator Esther Kim. The event runs until Sunday, September 6th.

'Card Connect' supports double-sided and hologram printing, allowing for high-quality cards to be printed within the machine.

During the event period, within the 'Esther Bunny' content, players can choose between two types of prints: 'Original Print,' where they can upload a photo to create a custom card, and 'Gacha Print,' where cards are dispensed randomly.

With 'Original Print,' players can select from a total of 8 types of original frames with hologram effects, featuring marine tastes and heart motifs from 'Esther Bunny,' and collage their favorite photos.

Additionally, with 'Gacha Print,' players can randomly obtain one of 5 types of cards that showcase 'Esther Bunny' visuals and scene illustrations, with enhanced cuteness through colored holograms.

We encourage you to enjoy 'Card Connect' during this opportunity.
