Gunpei Yokoi was the well-known inventor of both the Game & Watch and Game Boy systems for Nintendo, but did you know that he eventually went on to create Bandai's WonderSwan handheld as well? Yup, he jumped ship after the failure of the Virtual Boy and started his own company to design this awesome little machine.

This bit of legacy was the last project he worked on before his passing - Sadly, he never lived to see its release.

The WonderSwan was a 16-bit system with a much larger battery life than the Game Boy Color and Neo Geo Pocket, but at a lower price point to edge itself into the market. One unique feature that set it apart was the ability to play both horizontal and vertical games due to its special button layout.

This specific collection is for the WonderSwan Color and SwanCrystal, which were upgrades to the original WonderSwan that featured larger, clearer screens capable of rich color.. Though these were all Japanese-only releases, a good chunk of those titles are easy enough to play anyway.
