I thought I really wanted this system, then I realized that 85% of its games are RPGs and since they are in Japanese I have zero percent chance of actually reading it.
Good times.

Good times.
But WonderSwans are so cute (http://cgi.ebay.com/WONDERSWAN-SYSTEM-wonder-swan-clear-pink-edition_W0QQitemZ300064124470QQihZ020QQcategoryZ62 054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem).
You could get Gunpey, but it's on PSP and DS now anyway.
Or you could get Anywhere Hamster (http://cgi.ebay.com/Dokodemo-Hamster-WonderSwan-JP-IMPORT_W0QQitemZ180067998073QQihZ008QQcategoryZ620 53QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) (no)
Or Klonoa (http://cgi.ebay.com/KAZE-NO-KLONOA-wonderswan-wonder-swan_W0QQitemZ300064123708QQihZ020QQcategoryZ4315Q QrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem).
I don't know, from seeing the selections Book Off's near me in Japan had, it seemed like most things worthwhile on WonderSwan were on GBA anyway.
How about this one: Bistro Whatever (http://cgi.ebay.com/WonderSwan-Bistro-Recipe-Fighting-Foodons-Complete_W0QQitemZ150075598008QQihZ005QQcategoryZ6 2053QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

The games I really want for WonderSwan are nearly impossible to find:
Rockman & Forte: Challenger from the Future
Rockman EXE WS
Both of which are platformers and games I could actually play! ^_^

Didn't think so because I don't ever remember seeing anything about it anywhere except on the forums.
Yep, it was available in Japan (duh) and i think South Korea, but dont quote me on the later.

I remember reading about it in magazines when I was younger. Remember something about Final Fantasy for it was supposed to be awesome.

Final Fantasy (1), Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy IV were all remade with much nicer graphics on WonderSwan Color. Final Fantasy III was scheduled to be made for it, but was cancelled since WonderSwan was at the end of its life.

I always wanted a WonderSwan for it's port of Makaimura (Ghosts 'N Goblins) because of it's spectacular chiptunesey soundtrack that sounded much better than the NES and Genesis ports. I was always curious about that 2D shooter Judgement Silversword as well.
