WonderSwan Color

	WonderSwan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The WonderSwan was made to compete with the Neo-Geo Pocket Color and the market leader Nintendo's Game Boy Color (even though ironically the developer for the WonderSwan, Gunpei Yokoi, developed the original Nintendo Game Boy).
		The WonderSwan was later replaced by the WonderSwan Color.
		Although some WonderSwan Color games are compatible with the original WonderSwan, many are designed exclusively for the WonderSwan Color and show a message such as "This cartridge is for WonderSwan Color only" when run on the original WonderSwan.

	WonderSwan Color - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the WonderSwan Color was slightly larger and heavier (7 mm and 2 g) compared to the original WonderSwan, the color version featured 512K of RAM and a larger color LCD screen.
		After the release of the WonderSwan Color, Bandai took approximately 8% of the market share in Japan partly due to its low price of 6800 yen (approximately $65 U.S. Dollars).
		Another reason for the WonderSwan's success in Japan was the fact that Bandai managed to get a deal with Squaresoft to port over the original Famicom Final Fantasy games with improved graphics and controls.

	Wonderswan emulator main page
		As I expected, I'll probably need a real WonderSwan color console to progress further but for now, I concetrate my efforts on emulating the CPU instructions.
		If I ever get a real Wonderswan, I'll use a deep memory logic analyzer (kind of digital oscilloscope with a lot of lines to monitor memory and addressing).
		If someone could open his or her WonderSwan console and tell me the processor type, it would be GREAT.

	Bandai Wonderswan Color (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Wonderswan Color is release, using the same footprint and physical dimensions of the original Wonderswan, but this time with a color screen.
		In the picture above, the Wonderswan Color is powered up and you can see that it is in fact a color unit, however I was unable to get image from the screen when placed on my flatbed scanner.
		Part of their success is that it is less expensive that the Game Boy Color and it has a large projected software support base with lots of companies said to be developing titles for the Wonderswan, and titles will sell for less than the price of Game Boy cartridges.

		The Wonderswan itself could be used in either a horizontal (like the Sega Gamegear or Neo Geo Pocket) configuration or a vertical (like the original GameBoy) style configuration, depending upon the design of the game.
		Although Squaresoft’s first game for the Wonderswan was released alongside the launch of the system, it wasn’t until the remake of Final Fantasy I was released at the launch of the Wonderswan Color that Square become a leader in Wonderswan game development.
		Since the Wonderswan lacks a regular headphone jack, it’s necessary to use an adapter, which plugs into the add-on port, which allows for a regular headphone to be used.

	Golden Axe Review for WonderSwan Color (WS) \|\| Portable Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Despite the fact that it was originally released in the arcades, with much better graphics, everyone seems to flock to the good ol’ Genesis version.
		Apparently, you take on the role of one of three warriors, in order to stop the evil Death Adder, who has stolen the mighty Golden Axe and is causing havoc across the land.
		Also, this game appears to be missing a majority of the sound effects from the original, including all the pain and death groans, not to mention the fact that the remaining sounds and music suffer from the limitations of the WonderSwan’s hardware.

		WonderSwan is great for vertical shooters since you can hold it vertical as well as horizontal, though I don't know how many there are for the system.
		I bought it for the FF remakes originally in 2001, though now that they're in English on the PS, I won't be touching the WSC versions again.
		I might be wrong, but I thought that the Swan Crystal was an upgrade from their previous screen to a slightly larger, TFT liquid crystal display, much like the original GBA.

		I feel the first impression is more valuable for people thinking of purchasing, and even more so for those who want to venture into the portable gaming systems.
		As of this writing, March 15, 2000, the WonderSwan is only available in Japan, or through retailers who do imports.
		The system seems to have potential and of what little information I've been able to dig up, there appears to be quite a bit of support for it.

		Using this, you should be able to come up with a 64 kilobyte cartridge, which is the maximum you can use without reverse engineering Bandai's bank switching code on their proprietary chip.
		When plugged into the Wonderswan, the cartridge is powered by 3.3V coming in pins 23 and 24.
		This will boot into the Wonderswan BIOS where you can enter name and stuff.

		The beginning of the Wonderswan history sounds like a remake of the SNK Neo Geo Pocket experience, as Bandai started at first to ship the Wonderswan in fl & white early 2000, before switching to a more popular color edition of the system within same year.
		The most popular Japanese series have been ported on the console and the Wonderswan Color is not only recommended but is even a dream come true for any Japanese culture fan who is not afraid of playing games with kanji on screen.
		The WonderSwan production has been totally discontinued by Bandai Japan early 2003 and Lik Sang is shipping the very last stocks of the unit for US$ 59.90 for a couple of months.

		After a while, he defected to Bandai and made the Wonderswan and the Wonderswan Colour.
		Although the Wonderswan and its Colour version never really sold outside of Japan and most people didn't know about it, it kicked the pants off it's Nintendo counterparts.
		It is possible that the reason that the Wonderswan systems never really sold much outside of Japan is because of Bandai's slightly unaggressive marketing techniques compared to Nintendo's(Pls don't kill me Bandai).

		While it is still unofficial at this point, it appears that the title is finally complete, and it is up to Square to decide whether or not to go through with publishing the game.
		The title was originally scheduled for release in late 2001, but for a number of reasons, it was delayed.

		I just imported a Wonderswan Color, but the only game I have for it so far is Final Fantasy.
		Unfortunately, most Wonderswan games are either RPG's or adventure games, and since they're aimed squarely at the Japanese market you can't expect much help (the manuals and everything are in Japanese).
		The Wonderswan is a pretty neat system (and with Gunpey EX, I've found a reason to play it constantly), but beyond the novelty of it being a handheld system that was never released here, there are not many good reasons to own one if you don't know Japanese.

		The new system, the SwanCrystal, is a slightly upgraded model from the WonderSwan Color system released a year and a half ago.
		The unit has an improved reflective TFT LCD screen that features the same resolution as the past WonderSwan systems, but is a half centimeter larger.
		No announcement was made regarding a possible US release of the system, but judging by the handheld market in the US, the chances of the system showing up here are extremely slim.

		I bought a Wonderswan Color system (Crystal Blue) through Ebay from a shop in Japan, which just arrived today.
		The system is brand new, and I bought it bundled with a used copy of Final Fantasy I (all for $37, which included shipping).
		I mostly bought it because it looks cool and I've wanted one ever since they came out in Japan, and I've never had anything imported from Japan so I figured this was a good place to start.
