If you like playing Konami games on PC, would you also like playing PC games on Konami? Pre-orders have recently opened to the Japanese public for a new series of slick-looking gaming desktops, and their assembly is being directed by none other than the gaming publisher itself.
According to Tom’s Hardware, the production of this new ‘Arespear’ line of gaming computers is being supervised by a subsidiary of the company, named Konami Amusements. This division has mostly been in charge of managing and hosting esports tournaments, as well as building and selling arcade and casino machines.
Now Konami Amusements have unveiled three new variants of pre-built gaming PC’s across two tiers of hardware specifications. There is the entry level C300 which sports an i5 9400F, 8GB RAM, a Geforce GTX 1650, and comes to more or less $1760 (when converting from Yen).
For those with ‘slightly’ deeper pockets, the C700 is the next option with a beefier Core i7 9700, 16 GB RAM, and a RTX 2070 Super, which will set potential Japanese consumers back about $3000. The Arespear C700+ (pictured above) is more or less identical in terms of specs, but for an extra $200 you get all sorts of cosmetic goodies with the build, like RGB lighting and an acrylic side panel.
Before you do the ‘shut up and take my money’ thing, it is unclear if these custom builds will reach Western shores any time soon, if ever. Nonetheless, this is the second surprise from Konami this year hot on the heals of their return to classic platform gaming with the release of Skelattack.

Enjoy!
Pieter hails all the way from the tip of southern Africa and suffers from serious PC technophilia. Therapists say it is incurable. Now he has to remind himself constantly that gaming doesn’t count as a religion even if DRM is the devil. Thankfully, writing reviews sometimes helps with the worst symptoms.
Beautiful. Preordered.
Anyone who buys this sh*t deserves the electric chair, imagine spending 1700$ on i5 9400F and 8Go ram from one of the worse publishers of the decade
1700$ for a 1650gtx. i made the same PC for 750$ 2 yars ago (rams was so damn expensive)
Prices for PC components are often much higher in japan vs NA/EU
It’s expansive even for Japan
Preach it!
Ohh its Konami they can just die.
I generally don’t give a fck about konami and their boring games but the fact that they made nerds angry made me like them.
Ok nerd
cheese grinder
Who the F cares about this garbage

“Before you do the ‘shut up and take my money’ thing”
Only fools will buy this, and “shut up and die Konami” is better ??
Instead making gaming PC,why not bring all your IP to PC,Konami?
“i5 9400F, 8GB RAM, and a Geforce GTX 1650 which comes to more or less $1760”
“Core i7 9700, 16 GB RAM, and a RTX 2070 Super which will set Japanese consumers back about $3000”
