Any1 here purchased a WSC??
I've recently purchased one myself, and this thing is great!! The only problem I have is that the system is too small...

It's like half the thickness of NGPC. Gameplay wise, I still prefer the fluid animation of NGPC, but appearance wise, I'll definitely go for WSC. :cool:

I have a b/w wonderswan!
Like Rockman and Forte on it :) Also got Buffers Evolution, and some unplayable "banpresto" RPG????? Totally baffling.

Good system though. Nice and compact. Awful controls though :( Im someone that cant play a GBA for more than 10 mins without getting an RSI!

Havent got a colour version, guess I prefer the b/w NGP to the b/w Wonderswan, so I cant justify spending a couple of hundred quid on a Colour and a few games!

Have to wait till I see one cheap!

Yea I have both the WSC and the NGPC. I got the WSC with FF II and Ultraman, and then proceeded to buy Mr. Driller. I love this damn thing, it's so much fun (that's the only word I ever have for it besides pretty lol). The WSC truly is portable, I have no problem whatsoever getting it into my jacket pocket and taking it with me, it's so light and only takes one battery! Plus, I'm loving the whole contrast idea on the screen. The games that I have are simply great, for both systems, although I think that the Final Fantasy games blow Evolution out of the water. However, the controls on the WSC, while they do have a myriad of useful buttons, falls short of the great NGPC stick. I think the graphics on the WSC are better, but the NGPC is a bit clearer on the display. As far as sound, I have to go with NGPC on that one, the sound design on the WSC is simply horrid. Each system has its pros and cons and I love both, I will definitely not sell either of them off.

I will have to agree. The WSC is way to thin. But that does make it more of a pocket size game.
I bought the FF pack with my wonderswan and love it. I just need more games for it. Plus I cant read Japanese very well... actually I can't read Japanese.

I have a lot of games for my NGPC and I really don't even like playing it except for a few games.

*sigh*
Oh well I guess thats what out dated systems tend to do. With few exceptions.

I don't know what problems you guys have with the thickness of the Wonderswan units. In my opinion Wonderswan + Wonderswan Color are the most stylish handhelds out there. They look much better than any Neo Geo Pocket (Color).

PS: never compare Wonderswan and Neo Geo Pocket!

Anyone got a wonderborg?

Now that’s a killer app, where all the games are so uninspiring...

Fair price for a Wonderswan Colour on Ebay with a game is about £40. Check out Gunpey, it's a cross between connect 4 and tetris, totally awesome.

The WSC is a fun little system, I agree.. but if any of you purchase Guilty Gear Petit 1 or 2... beware the WonderCoin. If you want a good joystick-like pad use the NGPC "clicky-stick". The WonderCoin is a piece of black plastic that you stick on top of your d-pad (with a weak adhesive) and it is supposed to make fighters easier.... I could hardly pull off a single move -_-... But, I have to say both systems are great but If I had to choose between them I suppose I would go with the NGPC, SNK vs. Capcom just kicks too much ass <img src="graemlins/glee.gif" border="0" alt="[Glee]" />
