There are more than twenty AW card designs, some rare. The spring campaign runs to 30 June; its first round, to 31 May, offers points toward EX characters and a members' draw for 100 Roger plush toys.

AW-NET lets Kintaro players face people at other arcades as well as in the same arcade. Isuka cards work too. The card saves results, rank and job title, puts you in the national rankings and earns points. While the game looks for opponents you can send preset phrases such as "Hello", "Nice to meet you" and "Shall we play again?". The example player is a part-timer ranked 20-kyu.
