The Wonderswan article

Post by **Ivo** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 3:40 pm

I actually have a Wonderswan - can't read japanese though so I only got Gunpey to play on it.

I'd like to get more games, but to be honest the choice is very limited here in the UK (by ebay). Did you write the article, Racket?

I'd like to get the shooter, but I know already that it would cost a good bunch. Are the other games you recommend in the article relatively easy to get in the US?

Although, I'm seriously thinking about getting one myself...

I scanned the article and still missed the header!

Well, when I got mine there wasn't Gunpey anywhere else. I'm not sure I'd recommend it, unless you can read japanese (I can't) - do you have a NGPC? You should get one way before a WSC.

I was thinking about getting a NGPC too

Yeah a NGPC is a solid purchase, but I still think the GBA is king.

I got an NGPC when it first came out -- loved the little bugger. That's when I was making very frequent trips from East to West Coast -- five hour flights are no fun, and the Gameboy (there was no Advance at this time) did ilttle to alleviate boredom. I'd say its a great purchase, because the system itself exudes personality and has a solid -- albeit small -- library of games. With that said, its hard to go back to the NGPC simply due to the fact that the screen has neither front nor back lighting. If you are playing in bright areas, its not much of a problem -- but in this age, I've been spoiled.

If you do pick up an NGPC, I'd certainly recommend the Puzzle de Pon games and Crush Roller. They often get overlooked.

Meanwhile, I'll probably snag a Wondersawn. Always loved the name of that system, anyway.

No doubt about that

On a different thing:
Durkada, what is Crush rollers about? A puzzle game as well?

Crush Roller is a bit like Pac Man but instead of clearing the screen of dots your painting the roads..yeah. It's better than it sounds!

I have a NGPC and GBA SP but for some reason I just prefer the NGPC. I wonder if a Wonderswan would be worth a go..
