Maybe the fiancée of the player we're about to talk about used to play Game Boy Advance SP herself or always wanted to get one as a gift.
One thing is certain: her fiancée wants to give her a handheld just like this and has even ordered one online. However, she now discovered that the former owner had scratched his name on the back of the device. Now the buyer is wondering how best to deal with this.
Buyer wants to remove Kevin's name from his Game Boy Advance, which is supposed to be a gift
Retro handhelds make perfect gifts for a variety of reasons for your loved ones. They have something from you that they can take with them and have a lot of fun with. It doesn't matter whether they are introduced to gaming for the first time with a Game Boy or a Switch or perhaps even had one of these devices themselves.
However, this GBA SP comes with a very special gimmickaround the corner that may have been intentionally not disclosed before purchasing online. There is a Kevin immortalized on the back? most likely to protect his Game Boy from classmates, siblings, or people who borrow it.
It's just a shame that the buyer's fiancée is apparently not named Kevin.Accordingly, the gift giver is now turning to the Reddit community to ask whether there is a way to somehow cover up the "Kevin" without breaking the Game Boy or making the whole thing look shabby in any way.

The vast majority of comments are just having a great timeabout the matter and give advice, for example, to put a sticker over it that should also say Kevin.
A number of Game Boy fans, however, write that it is essentially a historical relic that should best be preserved as is.
It also reminds many of Toy Story and the name "Andy" on the sole of Woody's foot.
But there are also serious answers:Since the lettering is located where there was originally a large sticker with FCC information and branding, the fiancée could simply organize a sticker and stick it back there.
However, she still doubts whether it wouldn't look strange with a new sticker.
Or a completely new case? SOf course, the person could also take more drastic measures and replace the entire back of this Game Boy Advance SP. Then she could do it right away, change the front as well and her fiancée would get a Game Boy Advance SP that looks almost like new. But the whole thing would of course involve effort.
What would you advise in this case? Leave Kevin or somehow try to get him away?
