Bandai Playdia
Genki loves nothing more than to find a bit of an off beat console. Granted there is something usually a bit off kilter (or Kooky as they may say across the Pond) about such machines. But it was a splendid era when the president of most electrical companies used to dream of producing their own machine and dominate the market. Bandai's baby is up there with the Casio Loopy as a piece of gaming history, admittedly backed by Bandai's bigger licenses. Games such as Sailor Moon S Quiz provide a test of Sailor Moon knowledge and Japanese but fingers crossed for the Good Morning TV anime fans. A collectors item on such an exclusive system. Few will have escaped Hello Kitty's charms and with Kitty chan gamers expect an abundance of animal shots, sack full of saccharine sweet songs and plenty of fun mini games including the all important tooth brushing. SD Gundam gives the Gundam universe getting a Playdia work out.
