Crunchyroll’s mascot Crunchyroll-Hime will star in their own video game, but it won’t be any modern consoles.

Announced today, Hime’s Quest is an action-adventure title set to be released on the Game Boy Color. Physical pre-orders for the game begin today with special versions available on the Crunchyroll Store (Crunchyroll Orange) and Limited Run Games (Limited Run Blue). A trailer for the title can be seen below. Anime NYC attendees can test out a demo this weekend at Crunchyroll’s booth.

A synopsis for the game reads:

Take control as Crunchyroll-Hime to save the anime club from Y2K in her first-ever video game: Hime’s Quest. Set in 1999, something electric is in the air. A malevolent force has crept into New Crunchy City, wreaking havoc on its technology, and tragically destroying the Anime Club’s precious DVD/VCR combo player. Can you root out the dastardly cretin brazen enough to ruin their meeting?
Adventure through haunted forests, mirage-filled deserts and more in Crunchyroll-Hime’s largest quest yet.
Hack and slash your way through dungeons and face-off against totally buggin fiends in league with Y2K.
Kick-back with Crunchyroll-Hime’s friends in the anime club or pay a visit to spooky manga creator Junji Ito who is currently OBSESSED with spirals.
Some games let you pet the dog, this one lets you *try* to pet the cat. Can you succeed and give Crunchyroll-Hime’s best friend Yuzu a pat on the head?
PLAY IT LOUD! with a chiptune soundtrack by future (time paradox averted) award-winning 8-bit composer and musician Protodome.

Terry Li, Senior Vice President of Emerging Business, Crunchyroll said this about the video game:

“Crunchyroll wanted to capture the nostalgia of 90s pop-culture, a shared touchstone for anime fans, and we are thrilled to transport Crunchyroll-Hime to that era in an adventure developed on fan-favorite hardware from that time. Hime is our beloved princess mascot, and we are excited to see her lore expanded in ways that speak to fans’ love for anime and gaming with Hime’s Quest.”

Pre-orders will close on December 23. Those without a Game Boy Color can fortunately play the game for free on web browsers in December.
