WonderSwan is a handheld video game console released by the band on March 4, 1999, the console is only circulated in Japan alone, with one of the main designers of Gunpei Yokoi (the famous creator of Game Boy and the Metroid franchise producer killed before the system launch) wonderswan was made to try to compete with other game console leaders such as, GameBoy and Noe Geo Pocket. WonderSwan itself has launched 3 generations:

• WonderSwan (1999)
• WonderSwan Color (2000)
• Swan Crystal (20002)

WonderSwan is designed to be played both vertically and horizontally. The game varies on this aspect, with a variety of games. The game for this system is mainly Japanese, because the console is designed for this market, but some still display English as the language. Many popular RPGs are ported to the system, such as Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy IV, and Front Mission. In addition, WonderSwan does have an original game share.

Conclusion

This WonderSwan game console could surpass its rivals such as Game Boy and Noe Geo Pocket with total sales of 3.5 million platforms successfully sold before the Playstation finally took the place. WonderSwan itself also has a complete specification of the time, coupled with batrai resistant up to 30 hours to make the players can not stop to play this console. Games that can be played too much. So how are my friends interested to play this console? but unfortunately this console only in production in japan only.
