Data Carddass

Data Carddass (データカードダス, Dēta Kādodasu) is a series of Japanese arcade game machines created by Bandai, which largely focus around the digital use of collectible trading cards. It is an expansion of Bandai's Carddass collectible trading card series, which allows players to use special cards to interact with arcade video games. Many of these machines revolve around various anime and tokusatsu franchises owned by Bandai. The machines first began release in Japanese arcades from March 2005.

Bandai had sold 100,000 Data Carddass arcade machines by March 2012.[1] For use with the machines, over 2.4 billion Data Cardass cards had been sold by 2017,[2] increasing to 2.749 billion Data Carddass cards sold as of March 2021.[3]
