When it comes to cute, can you beat a girl holding a pink plastic gun? Apparently not.

Print club machines that print decorated photo-stickers are a big part of the modern Japanese game center -- there's a reason we devoted an entire chapter to it in Arcade Mania -- but Queen of Pink 2 comes off as a bit odd.

They all usually go for the cute imagery of the shiny and/or bright varieties, but as Brian Ashcraft reports at Kotaku, Queen of Pink 2's cabinet is covered in "girl with gun" poses -- even though there's no prop gun found inside the booth.

Now, as for the reason Brian was roaming the print club aisles, let's classify it as research.

Chris says: Isn't there a rule that says men can only go in there when they're accompanied by a girl?
