Released on October 19, 1995 in Japan, the Casio Loopy is a game console unlike any other you’ve seen before. It was priced at 25,000¥, ($391 USD in 2024) and marketed specially towards female gamers, mainly due to its built-in thermal color printer that could be used to create stickers from game screenshots.
Hardware wise, it packed a Hitachi SH7021 SuperH 32-bit RISC CPU running at 16MHz, a single controller port, 1MB of RAM and 2MB of ROM, enabling the Loopy to display 512-color graphics as well as play 4 channels of 12-bit PCM audio. Unfortunately, Casio ended software development in November 1996, while production ceased at the end of 1998

Honestly, the concept of printing stickers from scenes in your game seems neat. If Casio made it a third party device on a main console with specific games it works with, it [might have] been more popular,” said one cmomenter.
