Man, whoever writes Watashi No Koi Wa Muzukashii must be a big Ninten fan. Each new chapter keeps bringing in new Ninten refs.

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure they were playing Monster Hunter before.  Seems like she's a complete Nintendo fan.  Still, given the male lead's personality and dedication to gaming, It would be kind of odd if he only had one system.  Maybe she only know Nintendo games well enough to write about.

Kinda reminds me of Yuyushiki, where they're always asking each other, "would you rather ____ or play a Mario Kart tournament?"

It's kind of fun the way you can tell which mangaka is a fan of which brand.  I see a ton of PSPs and Vitas, too, and a lot of retro systems.  I was reading a series not long ago where a shrine goddess became addicted to Mario Kart.

I'm going to steal "go back to your Animal Crossing."

Yeah, it seems she either grew up with Ninten, or got into retro consoles too. I remember there being a DKC2 ref too with Diddy and Dixie. The PSP shows up for a couple of chapters, so there is that...

I know Gakkou Gurashi was more neutral with consoles, having all 3 present when they get to the college. Though, the game they started playing was Splatoon, soo... I guess another one favoring Nintendo? I dunno. It's funny to see video games appear in other media.

And I hate Animal Crossing D: Ain't going back to that series...
