Turbo Laser Lynx Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) I found this yesterday, check out the original Gameboy Japanese box "HANDY Game Machine" Is that a little wink from Nintendo to Epyx/Atari? Or perhaps even a small middle finger if the story is true that Epyx tried to hard-sell the Handy to Nintendo and went out of line?

Flojomojo Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 My guess is just an accidental coincidence, but I don't know which of the many English meanings of "handy" would translate in Japanese. https://en.bab.la/dictionary/english-japanese/handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newtmonkey Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 "Handy" in Japanese is Japanese-made English, and typically means "handheld" or "portable." For example, a lot of companies release products called "handy scanners" or whatever which would mean "handheld scanners." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
