The
successor to
bandai's popular
Wonderswan handheld
videogame system, often abbreviated
WSC. it is:
tiny(2.9 x 5 x 0.956 inches),
light(0.2 pounds/3.35 ounces),
readable(has an
FSTN screen with a contrast control, unlike the
GBA),
versatile(2 directional pads, 2 fire buttons, com port),
expandable(
wonderwitch homebrew game kit,
wonderborg robot programming kit, wonderswan web (
i-mode web browser), and more)
powerful(16 bit CPU, 740k ram(I think), 4096 colors)
long lived(1 AA battery for 20 hours play:
GBA requires 2 for 10)
japanese(no american release yet :-/)
The
WSC may have a chance against the
game boy, since it
is actually getting 3rd party support, unlike past prominent
gameboy challengers like the
Game Gear and
lynx.

WonderSwan Color is no longer the 'latest and greatest'. See
