Bandai WonderSwan Color Demo

[gr8fzy1]

The wonderswan took only 1 battery?!?

[Jotoesha]

pixel shader 127 pretty much cause i can't see shit there ~,,^

[DigThatBoxRETRO]

Outstanding video. Groovy music too!

[xRyukagex2010]

Looks like a GameBoy Advance knock off with an SNES cartridge. Or did this come out first? I've never even heard of this thing till recently while researching some old Digimon Games.

[kxorrotkg]

does this have backlight?

[omnimon64]

If only it had a backlight

[type2red]

Wow 1 AA BATTERY impressive!

[Omeegia]

Thumbs up if Nintendo News sent you here

[rudorot65]

ummm is that a special ttype of battery (jp or eu) or is it a us battery

[MeAndHimAndThemAndMe]

@rudorot65 Looked like a standard AA battery to me.

[Lufttygger306]

Does it only take 1 battery?

[AliceinNirvanagarden]

0:57 Bloodtype? lol

[dukeroxyman]

This music is good

[TheKINGFEDOR]

is it good ?

[dreamcastII]

nice review: good music to accompany the set up at the start.

[raven8dragon]

Oh man...you're so lucky to have that! Sadly, I only caught onto handhelds with the GameGear onwards..What a little piece of history! :D

[deathsled]

you make it sound like the GameGear came after the WonderSwan which is definitely not the case.

[neogeon]

he's probably confused and actually had the Majesco 2000 re-released Game Gear. It's kind of funny that even in 2000 the Game Gear seemed to be a modern and relevant handheld. I don't know how people put up with Gameboys when a so obviously superior handheld was on the market. Sure people complain about battery life, but there were several battery packs for it, no different from a PSP in that regard (aside from more bulk).

[tkorulesdaworld]

i saw ur vid! and it reminded me of my wonderswan so i searched my room. sadly the battery leaked and had some corrosion. i spent some time cleaning it out and surprisingly, it turned on and now i'm playing it again. =)

[superduperhypersonic]

Damn, my WonderSwan Color is broken >.>

[tsukuba86]

just buy one today like this. very cheap and a great hand held console.

[chickenmonkeystudios]

the games on it r okay

[ladyo07]

Do You Think They Will Release The USA Version Of Bandit Wonderswan Soon?! (PLEASE Reply)

[PaulMdx]

They will not be released in the USA now as they're pretty old. You can probably find one on Ebay though.

[alphajay777]

are they still availble bcz i would like to buy 1 for many reasons

[akmaledzraf]

LAME GAME

[tamerkun]

cooooooooooollllllllllllllllll­ll

[Goatsemen]

is it worth $50 US dollars?

[GenshikenSama]

I would Say

[n00berania]

Why did the Golf game look like what you'd expect from the original Game Boy?

[superduperhypersonic]

so, the wonderswan color can play the wonderswan B&W games?

[avenuePad]

Cool. And nice choice in music. Air rock. :)

[EnJay96]

is this old system?

[arcanedragon2004]

Released in 2000 and discontinued in 2003. Considering not many people know about it because Nintendo, at the time, pretty much dominated the hand held video game market; I would consider it old.

[chickenleg2]

wow, thats the first time ive ever seen a wonderswan. looks quite good. bet its expensive, all bandai things have a heavy price tag

[arcanedragon2004]

Nah, it was actually inexpensive when compared to Nintendo's hand held systems.

[saveandquit]

only one AA battery!

i have seen final fantasy for this as well

have no idea which one tho

[arcanedragon2004]

One AA battery gives the player about 15 hours of game play (depending on the battery's manufacturer).

The only Final Fantasy games released on it was FF1, 2, and 4. They had plans to remake FF3, but they decided not to, and waited a long time before remaking it on the Nintendo DS. (They mainly didn't remake FF3 because of the storage capacity that was needed. The WonderSwan Color just didn't have enough of it. FF3 was a lot more sophisticated.)

[zerotohero100]

Can you upload more videos of the wonderswan please.

[shinviroz]

i just bought a brand new one in korea for $19 which includes "Gunpey EX" tetris game

[lemonlateralus]

is there a menu option to have english?

[PaulMdx]

It depends on the games, but for the most part, no.

[lozzdude]

Hey there is this a swancrystal or a wonderswan colour?

Im really interested in Buying a wonderswan, mainly because it has a reputation of having alot of good RPG's released on it.

It is also now very cheap.

Do you knwo of any online forums or communities for the wonderswan? thanks, lozz.

[PaulMdx]

This is a WonderSwan Colour. The case colour is 'Crystal Blue'.

I'm finding these days the WonderSwans are actually going up a bit in price because they are getting rarer on Ebay, etc.

[jfeltes]

@lozzdude

Download an emulator and a game or two and try before you buy. You may even find you like the emulator better than the actual hand held.

[MapleMoonshine]

Where would i get one of these since i dont live in japan

I mean retail stores i dont like to buy off internet

[mjc2021]

Cool video, the Wonderswan actually looks too thin.

[MadCowFilms]

The graphical capability of the Wonderswan Color (well, not in this video, but if you see screens of FFI for it, then you'll see ;) ) are amazing for when it was made, as it was competing with the GameBoy Color, which was 8-Bit but had a much larger colour pallet than the NES. The only thing that lets this system down is the awkwardness of the control set-up and the absence of a back-light...

[dickcheney6]

But the GBC didnt even have a back light either :)

[paulunga]

@MadCowFilms The Gameboy Color was a rerelease of a handheld from 89. The original Wonderswan came out in like 99? 2000? I sure fucking hope it's slightly better as far as graphics go. Of course the Gameboy Advance came out a year after the Color so that point is completely moot. Could just as well talk about the virtues of a cd-i or Jaguar.

[lukastec]

cool

[csnoob147]

the only thing that had color was the bandai logo. lol

[Toneman]

I was about to get one of those at a anime convention until I learned I had to line the solar system up to get perfect light. Though I have a NGPC and like it alot, the lack of backlighting is a turn off.
