Wonderswan Games

[Duddyroar]

Castlevania? Didn't even know that was released for the machine.

And I assume by 'here' you mean Japan.

Neither did I: are you sure? I've never seen/heard of it...

[Duddyroar]

I've taken the plunge (mainly thanks to Carbonboy buying some stuff off me - cheers mate!) and bought a brand new clear black SwanCrystal system with three games off ebay. ?40 including shipping from the US. I could have gotten a better deal I suppose, but I wanted a new system with some games to play so it's not too bad - still only just more than the price of a game over here!

The games are One Piece Grand Battle Swan Colosseum, Muscle Man II- Dream Tag Match, and One Piece Treasure Wars 2.

Here she is:



Now I need a PROPER list of the best WS games - where's MD when you need him?

How much is Golden Axe these days?

[anephric]

I got Golden Axe for a tenner new off ebay.co.uk...

That's a fairly decent price for a Crystal ('spesh with shipping). I wouldn't complain...

You DID get him to mark it down, non?

[Duddyroar]

I didn't - do you think I should? Even if he puts the price I paid for it, would I get charged tax? It's not like it's hundreds of pounds.

Don't suppose you feel like selling/trading that Golden Axe, do you mate...?

[anephric]

If you go over the import limit of ?18 and the seller declares it as merchandise (sometimes they will if they're an eBay store) then, for a ?35-40 declaration you'd have to pay ?11ish customs processing and VAT.

I'm sorry, dood, I *love* my WSC stuff - it's like a fetish for me, and I've sold stuff in the past I really regret parting with (that FF boxset for a start - I REALLY want that back now) so I can't stand to part with Golden Axe.

There's a UK eBay seller (steve666b) that sometimes has really decently priced WS stuff... I've bought off him before.

Waiting on my Gundam WSC now

I've come to this thread late, having just picked up a new and boxed Wonderswan Color for about ?20 on ebay. Somebody over at wayoftherodent recommended GUNPEY to me as a great puzzle game, so I downloaded cygne (the windows wsc emulator) and tried a few more of his recommendations. If you're at all interested in puzzlers I'd suggest the following:

Gunpey Ex (the colour version)
Slither Link
Mr Driller (C)
Sennou Millennium
Glocal Hexcite

You can find a couple more details here: http://forum.wayoftherodent.com/viewtopic.php?t=1359

Incidentally, does anyone know anything about Wonderwitch? i.e. is it a flash cart that you can load stuff on to from Windows?

[Duddyroar]

I heard it was a programming tool that lets you 'create' your own WS games.

Oh, and long time no posts, Gord me old mucker.

[gordon]

I've been hanging around the Buy, Sell and Exchange forum -- that seems to be where most of my posts (and my money) go these days.

Judgement Silversword was homebrewd on Wonderwitch, it won the competition to be made into a full production title, hence the low numbers around.

With it you can also update Silversword to the latest version, its available from the website http://members2.jcom.home.ne.jp/jss2/recycle.htm

[Duddyroar]

Is Judgement Silversword worth getting? The prices are quite high, aren't they?

[anephric]

Whenever I've seen it it's been ?60+. Most has been ?120. Haven't looked lately though.

[Duddyroar]

Pfffffft. I'll give that one a miss, I think.

[gordon]

Yeah, especially when you can buy a Gamecube and Ikaruga for less.
