Wonderswan Color.

Anyone here own or have used a wonderswan color/crystal? Even though all the games on it are in Japanese, it has Hunter X Hunter games, so I don't care. Thought I'd find out anything you guys know about these things.

Re: Wonderswan Color.

Yeah, I would guess as such, but I have to try.
Geez, the Crystal, at least, looks better then the GBA. I think it would do moderatly well over here.

Re: Wonderswan Color.

It's okay... I guess. Some guy from the USS Abraham Lincoln sold it to me after a recent deployment for $10. Not a bad trade. I have Final Fantasy 1 and a few obscure titles that I can't read.

It seems to be a pure Japanese thing; kind of like the Famicom. I suppose if they ever did release it in America it would have been eclipsed by the GBA or something. The biggest problem is the lack of a backlight... which kills hand-helds for me. I don't even know how I managed to play the original gameboy but that was ages ago.

Re: Wonderswan Color.

I own two WSCs, actually. A black one I got on eBay with FF1, and a special edition FFII WSC I got for Christmas (which, of course, came with FFII). They're both collecting dust since both FFI and FFII have had updates released here twice since I got them, but they're still neat to have.

WSC definately would've died pretty easy against the Game Boy here, though. It failed in Japan, but it'd do even worse here. It's not even as powerful as the GBA. Low refresh rate like the old B&W Game Boy and Game Boy Pocket, SNES graphics but without many of the SNES tricks (no Mode-7 effect for example), and lesser-than-SNES-quality sound. Oh, and you can't use headphones without a special adaptor (much like the SP).
