Golden Axe wonderswan color

Stages 1-2. Seemingly very few gaijin know about the Wonderswan. Here's a somewhat brief history on this Japanese handheld system by Bandai. The Wonderswan was designed by the late ex-Nintendo developer Gunpei Yokoi (same man who invented the Game Boy). It was released in 1999, two years after his tragic death, I should also add there is a game on this system called "Gunpey" that's named after him, which recently got a sequel on the PSP. Like the Game Boy, it started out on a monochrome black and white screen and has the strangest control setup seen on ANY system, because Wonderswan games have a share of horizontally and vertically oriented stages in which you have to turn the system around. Then it had several other colorized descendants, the Wonderswan Color (2000), WonderWitch (2001?), and the SwanCrystal (2002). Unfortunately, since Game Boy Advance was King of the Hill, the Wonderswan quickly became a distant memory.

little known fact: the wonderswan is actually x86 powered. a very weak x86. it's a 3.072 MHz NEC V30 CPU, which is similar in performance to the CPU in the original IBM PC. the Intel 8088. i'm amazed they designed such a weak x86 game device in 1999! i hope these were cheap.

@lilyphilia84 because he/she simply wants to impress us with their understanding of the Japanese language. Comprende?

Looks pretty good to be fair, can't seem to find it on Ebay though.

So did the Wonderswan colour have a backlight?

This looks like a very faithful conversion.

Way more Megadrivey-like look to it than the PC engine version, even despite the lower looking res.
