I really like the style of sprite artwork in these games for some reason. That Japanese for-children cutesy style. Something about it that I can't put my finger on. Looks really good on CRT.

Regarding kanji in children's games, there are some basic kanji that Japanese children are expected to learn from a young age, and all the kanji shown in this video are among them. The games you showed were definitely very LIGHT on kanji, using hiragana for far more than you'd typically see in Japanese games for an older audience -- just not ALL hiragana. Pokemon electing not to use kanji at all in its early games (current Pokemon games do use some!) was indeed partially to make the games more accessible, but mostly due to technical limitations. For one thing, kanji takes up extra space on a cartridge that's already absurdly limited in space -- but more crucially, the Game Boy screen is extremely lo-res (and, initially, monochrome to boot!), and conveying complex kanji in a fuzzy, blurry square of 8x8 pixels (16x16 at most!) is a bit of a losing proposition. Believe me, I've seen games attempt it before, and trying to read those kanji can be infuriating, as you wind up with what practically looks like an all-white square that has random dots missing here and there, but otherwise just looks like an absolute mish-mash of pixels.

Yeah, a third party device for an existing console seems more viable. Also, since they wanted the young girl market, they should have done action adventure games in a style like Sailor Moon and Pretty Cure, which would have special compatibility with the printer add-on.

I’ll translate some of the stuff but not everything. At 2:05 it was just asking “what will you pick?” In regards to starting the game or loading a save. “From the beginning” “Continue” “Copy” “Delete” At 3:47 the girl is saying “he (the dog) has such big ears. Hehe it’s like he’ll fly away” From 3:50 the dad is saying “let dad try. Look here” in regards to the dog At 4:20 the choices he needed to make were “Teach (the dog) to sit” “Stop teaching” so he put himself in a loop by choosing the second option constantly At 5:00 the girl is surprised that the doll they found comes alive. The alarm clock pops out and the girl says “wha- wha- why? The alarm clock is moving!” The doll then says “you’re so loud! Anyways aaaaland is in trouble” I think that’s in reference to James naming the character aaaa Skipping some stuff about the clock because a lot of skipping and can’t see all of the dialogue. But I did notice that a cucumber showed up. And it asked a riddle “It’s a black thing that at noon, is short, but in the evening it grows. What is it?” The choices being “Morning glory (asagao)” “Shadow” “Rainbow” James picked the first one so that was wrong Looking at the box again, it seems that even though the game part was marketed alongside the stickers , I can’t help but feel the sticker printing was the actual main selling point

I had a Gameboy Printer as a smol, and I expected this to print similar quality crap. When it went through multiple times and did color I was amazed. Apart from the whole thing just being a full screenshot with menus and stuff, that is a genuinely impressive sticker printer! I definitely would have loved something like this as a kid, my wardrobe was completely covered in stickers, especially Gameboy Printer ones. I had all 150 in Pokémon Blue, but I don't think I ever figured out how to print out the certificate to that, I mostly printed with the Gameboy Camera. Man, 90s junk was so cool.

honestly I'm way more impressed with the graphics of this console than I was expecting from the jankity look of it. not sure what I was expecting tbh but i feel like they could have put out some decent side scrollers if they weren't being silly with their marketing demographics.

Its actually somewhat more difficult to read japanese on older consoles as they usually use full hiragana and katakana as they couldn't render kanji as sprites due to the complexity of kanji, this makes it a pain to translate as almost every word in hiragana has multiple vastly different meanings TLDR; japanese is hard

Right, Japanese uses kanji/hiragana switching instead of spaces and generally doesn't use capital symbols, so hiragana only is sameaswritinglikethisinenglish.

5:28 Yep, that's some Kanji and compounds in there, such as 時間 (jikan; "time"). But not all words are written in Kanji. For example, the noun that comes next, とびら (tobira; "door"), would be 扉. There's also a Western word for door, ドア ("doa"), but 扉 is more akin of traditional ones. The Japanese still rather strongly distinguish between their own and imported concepts. Together, 時間のとびら means "door of time". It's generally true that many words are not written as Kanjis anymore in everyday usage; the rules on that aren't entirely clear to me, though. James is right that stories for children usually have very few to no Kanjis at all.

This machine genuinely rocks. I want one. I'm sure there's new old stock printer cartridges somewhere in a bin in Japan if one were to dig around for a few years...

You need to immediately order more printer sticker paper. Create funky animals and stick them all over Wades cars when he isn’t looking as a lil James Easter egg.

this entire console is just such an oddity it really makes me wonder how exactly this even came to be. just the idea of developing an entire new proprietary console instead of just making like an MSX computer in a purple shell is absolutely wild, especially since there obviously wasn't much of a market for it.

Please keep making your videos James. Your videos feel like LGR videos if they were 10 minutes instead of 30 minute videos.

this is a really interesting bit of kit, during this time in the 90s a genre of games called otome was getting really big, otome is games aimed at the female demographic and is usually used to refer to a lot of visual novels, dating sims, and light rpgs (not exclusively but usually), in a way a console designed specifically to play them kinda makes sense, especially one intended for young girls, however as james correctly surmised, all the game on it seem like *bad* otome games (although apparently one was made by kenji terada, writer of the first 3 final fantasy games), however the otome games as a genre had only really stared the previous year so this almost seems like casio were trying to get in early, however it would have been competing with many other consoles and even home computers, most of which had an existing library of childrens games and otome games, and that a lot of people already had. overall very interesting idea that casio in my eyes squandered by making it kinda crap (the printer is super cool tho)

avoiding kanji also happens to help with limited ROM sizes. Having less characters makes the character ROM size smaller.

Never played with one of those but the ads were everywhere, ugh, it was awful. You can also making music watching the notes you are composing is kinda cool, changing instruments... Have your pet even... The Tamagochi i think it was in 1997... geez... I think having a 32bit processor into this is kinda overkill, but considering how stuttery were confusers in the era, this looks very fluid in terms of graphics. Is like the Game boy Camera, which I loved it when I was a kid, and I always regret I've never got a printer. The only picture I have of my dog is in that cartridge. Nice one!

The point at the end about games marketed towards girls being shovelware reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend awhile back. We were comparing DS games we'd had as kids, and she expressed frustration at the fact that most of the games I'd had were "real" games (i.e. MarioKart and whatnot) while most of the games she'd had were dress-up shovelware games.

Thank you for being a voice in the darkness vindicating exactly the level of Japanese comprehension that I have. Well, that, and I learned some vocabulary from movie titles. This is the true path to learning language: figuring out how to pronounce a syllabary so that you can write monster names but then never really learning the language and confusing people who know less than you because they think being able to read loan words that aren't even from that language somehow makes you an expert. The struggle is real and it's empowering of you to show the world what it's really like.

The sticker paper looks like the same sticker paper that retail stores use.

@irtbmtind89

Not necessarily. This is not a regular thermal printer, it uses thermal transfer or dye-sub technology. There's an ink ribbon (you can see a dried up bit of it stuck to the piece of paper he digs out of the console) sandwiched with the sticker paper that's (probably) 3x or 4x as long, and has a repeating pattern (either RGB or CMYK) the same size as each sticker. It prints each sticker multiple times with each successive part of the ribbon to get the full colour effect. These type of cartridges tend to be proprietary or close to it, so a drop in replacement may not exist. If you look at the paper in the cartridge there's a pattern of little black marks on it, the machine uses those to know where it is on the roll and where the ink ribbon is relative to the sticker paper. If it doesn't see those it'll probably either just refuse to work or mess up in weird ways. Depending exactly how this printer works you might be able to see what other people have printed if you open the cartridge and look at the spent ribbon.

But likewise boys miss out on some awesome stuff too. I think it's finally become more gender neutral but polly pocket was really awesome and a great scale for play on the go.

This is just reminding me of the Pico I managed to find in a thrift store in Indiana. In its box! That console was very popular in Japan, they kept making games for it there up until about 2003 if I'm correct, and that thing had the same processor as a Sega Master System. The Pico with its SMS CPU outlived the Dreamcast! :(

@@jajadingo I know, but I also heard that the PICO hardware still got support until about 2007, just like the NES. I can't be too certain though, it's been a while since I looked into it.

@@jajadingo well its long life was due to its use in schools, I know that much about it. Shame it didn't get as much use over here as it did there.

@@LaskyLabs the PiCO had a successor Pico Beena in 2005 too. And the pico was selling in JPN pretty well.

Dig the old production reference Trinitron. Kinda wish I'd nicked the one from work when they went under.

Subscribed loved it pls keep up the dope videos!

Leska's words of wisdom moved me .

Finally a video about something you don't see 1 million times on KZread! Thanks for uploading

The sound the eject button makes gives me nostalgia for a console I never had

The best way to make use of this as homebrew is to make a horror game that prints stuff out as you play like the console is haunted. That or an adventure game that might print out stuff that might have a puzzle you physically need to solve

I love the cat cameos at the end

@4:10 holy shit, the abject terror in that poor dog's eyes is too good. *What did you do to him?!*

You’d better thank your cat for the amount of effort it put in to making this video great

James has such charming quirkiness to how he presents videos.
