Casio Loopy with Magical Shop accessory

The Casio Loopy (Japanese: ルーピー, Hepburn: Rūpī), subtitled My Seal Computer SV-100, is a 32-bit home video game console. Released exclusively in Japan in October 1995, it was unusual in that the marketing for it was completely targeted to female gamers.[4]

The Loopy includes a built-in thermal color printer that can be used to create stickers from game screenshots. An optional accessory, called Magical Shop (マジカルショップ, Majikaru Shoppu), is a video capture device to obtain images from VCRs and DVD players. Users may add text to these images and make stickers. Including Magical Shop's own built-in software, the Loopy library contains 10 games. The Loopy features one controller port[5] for use with a standard game controller or with a mouse which was sold separately. Developer Kenji Terada worked on Loopy Town no Oheya ga Hoshii!.[6]

Casio ceased production of the console in December 1998, with software development ending in November 1996.[7]
