Has anyone played Pocket Fighter on Wonderswan? Is it any good? I'm thinking about picking it up after I get the Rockman and Forte sequel.

I have. It has sacrificed animated background due to consideration for the less powerful hardware, but I think it plays just about the same as the arcade counterpart.... which I don't think is saying all that much. Fun button masher like Power Stone, but I much prefer playing Gals Fighters or MOTM on the NGPC. I'm kind of a fighting game snob that way.

OK, good to know. I just feel kind of silly only having one game for my WonderSwan.

If your looking for some good titles id recommend:

Mr driller
Gunpey
Guilty gear petite 1 or 2
Makimura (black and white but still good)

I had that wonderswan battle game as well....pretty decent if you can snag it for cheap.

I used to have like 10 or so wonderswan games.

Anyway Pocket Fighter is decent, but it is a bit hard to control due to the d-pad.

Also IIRC there's no combo meter so you can't ever be sure your links are working etc. No practice mode either (I think back in the day you could use that cellphone adapter and download something to unlock it, but yeah that ain't happening anymore I'm sure).

Yeah, I've been thinking about getting that as well. It looks like it plays well, but I'm not a big fan of the character design.
