Casio Loopy Review | Ashens
Ойындар
Casio Loopy My Seal Computer! A rare and obscure games console that was never released outside Japan. It has almost no games for it and all the ones that do exist were published by Casio themselves, but it does print stickers!

Okay but imagine unlocking or achieving something in a game and getting a physical sticker for it. That'd be awesome. "Yeah bro I have the 'Dark Soul' sticker".

Id have loved that with the gameboy... Pokemon red blue yellow but you had a physical pokedex looking notepad with 151 pages, and when you found a new pokemon you could print the pokedex entry and stick it in your pokedex, or even just print pictures of charizards and stick them to every available surface..

@@Colt45hatchback the game boy did have a printer addon. And a camera, and a sonar for finding fish. The game boy printer wasn't in color, but why would it be? I don't think they were stickers either. Oh, sorry Ashen(s) COLOUR. Are you happy I added a "u" to the word color? I'm so tolerant of different cultures that I'm willing to spell like an idiot (an American idiot. In UK I would be spelling like a champion bee-wrangler. Like I was Nicholas Cage and I had bees all over my head. That's how I spell)

I have a Hello Kitty thermal printer which enables me to print out my own stickers from my phone. I now have the coveted Bloodborne 3 achievement, that I earned playing the PS7 version in the future. But do you think that gets me laid?!? The sticker, no. The printer, yes. Nobody needs a sticker for an achievement for a console that only 8 people own. You're already a mega-Chad for owning the stupid console, printing out cheevo stickers for that console drops you back into the weirdo category. All your friends are earning Dark Souls cheevos (digital, TBH) while you bust out your coveted sticker cheevos for a game that nobody heard of. Besides, do you really want to pay $100 more for the PS5 just because they slapped a stupid crappy printer inside? A printer that will only accept $70 ink cartridges made by Sony elves, which hold 10ml of ink and dry out prematurely due to the heat and air flow of the APU\fan? No, that's a terrible idea. Look at the Game Boy printer \ fish finder sonar if you want an idea for a useless peripheral that maybe could have printed out stupid sticker cheevos. Side note: why a printer for a portable console, and no printers for normal consoles? Because gamers don't want printers. Nobody gets laid due to stickers. It's the Hello Kitty thermal printer that is the pussy magnet. I have to beat the women off with sticks. Small, fragile sticks. I'm not a monster.
Holy shit my sister actually had this when we were kids. Was not expecting to see it on this channel :D Bow-Wow Puppy Love Story is actually pretty fun. No joke, it's a cute little RPG with story elements not too serious but still isn't afraid to get real at times, especially the final dungeon where your friends sacrifice themselves one by one to let you continue to the final boss (they're all fine at the end but holy shit it's a seriously darker tone than what the rest of the game is like).

To be completely fair and honest, the graphics look really nice. The hardware of the 32x could do a lot of nice looking 2D sprite art. Shame it wasn't really utilized properly past a few notable examples like Knuckles' Chaotix.

bobsauce100 Yeah, the sprite art is nice, especially the animation in Puppy Love Story, but by the time the Loopy came out, the Saturn, which had superior 2D capabilities, was already on the Japanese market. Then again, I'm sure the average sticker enthusiast didn't care about that.

For context, the "printing stickers" thing ended up being a fad/trend in Japan among young girls called purikura which now take photos of you and print the pic. The Loopy was capable of that as well but came out a bit before the purikura craze, making it a trendsetter in that area. So yes, that's exactly how you appeal to young japanese girls (and young western girls too as I personally loved stickers as a kid).

To be honest the thermal printer could be pretty cool as an adapter for PS4 and Xbox One, like you get an achievement and can choose to print it out to put in the games manual, like the game manuals that support it have pages with sticker slots for a physical bonus. I doubt I would use it as an adult but as a kid that would have been the tits!

I went to the museum you've donated this to and I still can't forget the Lemmings theme tune because we had an educational talk in the room where you can play it.
wow, this is amazing. You should have given this to Ben Heck so we could actually see the insides and the processor. Like this looks really powerful and sound reproduction actually sounds pretty good. Would have loved a look inside!
As a 23yr old woman I suddenly need this! Also my laptop is covered in stickers (mainly mlp and barbie)
I'd love to see him review the JXD Singularity S192. The best & most powerful Android-based handheld console ever made. And, no, I didn't forget about the Nvidia Shield Portable. Because the Singularity is more powerful than the Shld Prtble AND it supports most Shield games out of the box. However some will require root to access. Thankfully though, JXD themselves offer ways to root the Singularity and to access the Shield Hub to use both Geforce Now and NVIDIA's official Game-stream, PC game streaming.

SsnakeBite 'Print Club' (purikura) was popular with girls. You'd go to a photobooth, take pictures, edit them in the booth, and print them out on stickers. This was probably just to cash in on the trend in the domestic market. Obviously these aren't photos though, but the process is similar, and the addon helps. *EDIT: It's possible the internal editing function was designed coincidentally with the appearance of the first actual purikura machine, but culturally stickers, photos, and customization were already a fad.

SsnakeBite Yes, I would most definitely prefer a proper console as a girl/woman. Which is why I have always had PlayStations. However, if they had come out with this Loopy console, and just made it into a sticker design and printing machine, dropping the pretense that it's a game console, I might have been interested. I enjoy doing artistic stuff, and that could be fun. As far as a game console though, no it wouldn't be something that I would find interesting.
Never thought I'd hear Ashens mention bluewaffle lol. And respect for your donation to Cambridge.
Ahh but can it print out an inflatable crown... Oops wrong video

xDDDDDD you mean a fucking inflatable fucking crown ^^.
but the important question: if you slam the eject button does the cartridge fly across the room
dude this is the weirdest nostalgia for me. My sister used to have one of these (this was in early 2000's UK, no fucking clue how it was here) and I used to sit and play with that massive eject button when she was at school. Watching Stuart press the eject button at the start was like that scene at the end of ratatouille where the food critic gets that big ol' flashback from eating the plants. I had completely forgotten about that until this video, thanks stu
Always loved watching Ashens but never have I laught so hard at an episode before
Your humour is drier than a Ryvita thin on the face of the sun, and I love it 😂 "digital toast" 😂😂😂😂
It's not a blue waffle, it's the TARDIS disguised as a Cadbury bar.
Lovely intro. For a mere second I thought my system died with a BSOD.
I always knew 'boot the loopy but never cared to look into it.Thanks for satisfying to answer all I ever I ever wanted to know about it.Simon Peggs reviews rule!!!!!
why there in no printing process shown?
15:03- Waffle? I'm pretty sure that's a candy bar with the wrapper peeled back...

Best not think too much about that
brilliant. i always wondered if we'd get another obscure console video. of even more value than the mega duck
This looks genuinely fun, this would have made my life back in elementary school, maybe if I had Loopy I would be able to remember my childhood instead of suppressing it. Also vaporwave sticker printer makes it relevant to this day.

That whould be the cdtv or comendore dynamic total vision.
I wonder how it would feel like to play a Loopy while looping on acid.
This 90's anime aesthetic is a guilty pleasure though
The art is actually surprisingly well done? Wasn't expecting that.
Like digital toast. -Ashens 2017
You should do more reviews about Japan consoles .
“Jump cut because its a pain is the arce to get into the box” lol 😂 that was golden
Oh my gosh. A Casio Loopy. I've wanted one of those since I first heard about them about ten years ago.
