    Excellent video like always. Always knew about the wonder swan but never knew anything about it or what kind of games were on it. This was a great overview. Great editing in this video too

      Oh you gotta get one! The color units are relatively inexpensive loose, and with a backlight mod there is really no need for a more expensive swan crystal anymore

      The FF editions are really tempting, but I might head to the ジャンク sections and find a cheap one.

    Thank you for the video, love hearing about the Wonderswan. You still lots of really cool games to get hold of, Klonoa, Mega Man.exe and Line Rider are a must!

      I almost picked up klonoa in japan! I ended up passing on it to get some other games instead. Mega man looks cool as well. I love the idea of Rhyme Rider but I'm terrible at rhythm games >.

    Lot of good picks here! I adore the Wonderswan. Such a neat little system that found a great niche with anime titles. And the Digimon games all being able to connect to the toys! What a fun gimmick! I definitely need to pick more titles up.

      thank you!!! WS is definitely a double edged sword where it's still pretty affordable to collect for in terms of the common games, but some of those rare games are soooo expensive.
      I really want to get the digidevice adaptor.

    Wonderswan seems really cool! Btw have you ever thought about a ASMR-channel, this video gives a ASMR-vibe. You have a really nice voice for ASMR. Also the tapping on the games triggers ASMR.

    i owned a wonderswan. not an amazing system but neat historical wise and the fact it ran on one battery. The only game I really enjoyed on the system was clock tower. The fact the game was black and white, added to the horror effect

    There's no secret involved with the Wonderswan, especially because pretty much any game for it that doesn't require any knowledge of japanese is very expensive. This was also one of the most talked about handhelds in the TH-cam retro gaming sphere for over a decade at this point and has thousands of videos about it. Really cool collection, but just what to point out the not quite accurate video title
