in the dark Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 This is the most complete list that I have seen on the net. I have a lot of those games. Love the little portable. It is worth having just for One Piece - Grand Battle Swan Colloseum! Like the fighters on this portable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the fighters on this portable. one piece-gbsc is great indeed ! quite good also are the two digimon battle spirit games ...too bad that the main attractions of the unit,the rpgs,are essentially unplayable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wished that they had been translated into English, or at least had the in-game option. I did play one of the FF games one time by simultaneously playing the same game that was ported to GBA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animan Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Finally, I've been looking for a list like this! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptik76 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I have Golden Axe and Gunpey Ex on the system (as well as Final Fantasy I, which I barely touched)... Gunpey is a very cool little puzzle game. The one Wonderswan game I wish I had is Tetris. I tried to bid on one a few times on Ebay but it never worked out. I also have Rockman & Forte and Makaimura, but the B&W games give me a headache. I'm glad there are many other games that a non-Japanese player can enjoy. I'll have to check some of these out. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smatchmo Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Great list (best one i've found as well) for a really underrated handheld. i traded a NGPC--DC link cable for a SwanCrystal & games but never really got around to exploring the WS library until I picked up a regular ole b&w WonderSwan. I'd read around that the Cystal was better and the WS wasn't nearly as good as the Crytsal because of ghosting & whatnot, but.... i kinda like the b&w WS better, i think because of the contrast dial. (Reminds me, I gotta get a WSC...) So if you've never tried a WS and you want to but aren't sure if you should get an inexpensive WS or wait and save up to get a Crystal, the b&w WonderSwans are pretty sweet are worth getting now. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 B&W Wonderswans are dirt cheap, too. I think my last one was something like $25 after shipping from Japan, complete with the box and instructions. That was sometime in the last year or so.

Smatchmo Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) $25 & under (shipped) is the going rate now. You can pick up a WS for $10-12 + $8 shipping from Japan on eBay (Buy It Now prices), tho you can snag one for cheaper if you keep your eye out for auctions. I lucked out a few months ago and got a nice b&w blue WS with One On (golf game) for $12 shipped from Canada. 40hrs on ONE AA battery??? I keep one in my car in case of a break down and I plan on getting another for my hurricane kit. Yeah, not knowing kanji (katana?) does limit your options but there are still quite a few great games you can play, and it's just a really cool lil handheld. (Maybe i should throw a Kanji for Beginners book in my hurricane kit as well...) Edited September 30, 2012 by Smatchmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Hay Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Got my Wonderswan Color (that I had front light modded by http://rosecoloredgaming.wordpress.com/) last week and can't put it down! Been playing Final Fantasy I (played it on so many times on nes/gba that I barely notice its JP). Heres a tip for collecting the games check http://global.rakuten.com/en/ also got a ton of famicom games from here for good prices. The only down side is the lack of a headphone jack. There are adapters for it but they are 2 to 3 times the cost of the wonderswan itself lol. To our electronic talented members of AA maybe someone can take a crack at making some cause anyone who owns a wonderswan would want one =D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
