Original Air Date： June 29th 2009 This is a pretty uncommon game for the BW WonderSwan (note that this is also a Japan-Only handheld． We own a SwanCrystal)．．． I’ll never know what tempted so many competitors to launch handhelds back in the mid-late ninties in BW but oh well． This is a decent and surprising adaptation of the (under-appreciated？) fighter from the arcades Playstation Saturn etc． The fighting is left intact (though the controls are a bit sluggish as is the fighting and there’s no combo-counter) and there’s also a number of new elements added exclusively to the WS game like card battling and extra character-specific unlockables． It’s OK but it further makes me appreciate the NGPC and its assortment of great handheld fighting games． I think too much was crammed into this BW game though what’s availabe is fairly impressive particularly some of the character animations and WS music． If it was made for the WSC or SC it could have taken complete advantage of the the color hardware． You only need to look at the FF titles Makai Toushi SaGa and games like Riviera to see what could have been done． Enjoy． Note： Flickering text after fights is the result of the emulator Oswan． It’s not something that would happen like this on ordinary hardware but seeing the game otherwise would be an ordeal to say the least． Glitching is otherwise towards the minimum． Ummhmm．

Original Air Date： October 15th 2009 If you thought Rhyme Rider sounded impressive ’Beatmania for WonderSwan’ is by far the most impressive WS game aurally speaking． While Rhyme Rider combined pretty impressive audio and visuals together this game is somewhat lacking visually but has an amazing soundtrack． The game is easily one of the hugest WS games as well with over a dozen MB worth of audio． From my understanding this game includes music from the ’3rd Arcade Mix’ of Beatmania． It is also the only one to come with a snap-on mini turntable from my understanding (to make the game easier)． It is one of MANY games within the popular Bemani category but the only Beatmania game for WS． If you’ve played a Beatmania game before then you’ve played this though the play control requires a little more precision for good results． The game includes ten songs and one hidden song for a total of eleven songs． While this may seem limited compared to other handheld Bemani／Beatmania games the tradeoff is through high-quality songs with lyrics and more clarity than say the GB Bemani games． I play one song and auto-play the other two (’basic’ songs) so you can get an idea of what the game is like． I’m not huge on the Beatmania games but what should have been a popular handheld seller was relegated to obscurity． Enjoy． Note： This game is played holding the WS vertically． It’s advised that you watch in fullscreen HD when available as vertical games aren’t suited well to YT and b．．．／b
