The difference between regular WS and WSC is somewhat obvious.

How about WSC and Swancrystal? Both cost exactly the same at Lik-sang...

"From WonderSwan Color
to SwanCrystal :
TFT Colored screen to enhance realism"

What does that mean, actually? Any other differences, besides the casing?

(Anyone even have one of these, either one? :lol: )

Any good games, non-japanese? Or "no matter if japanese"?

And where can one get these games? :)
 
Released in November 2002, the Bandai Swan Crystal was an update to the Wonderswan color and instead of using the FSTN color screen the Swan Crystal used a TFT color screen and was slightly smaller than the WSC. On the other hand, the Swan Crysal could play the WSC and the monochrome Wonder Swan games. The Swan Crystal was available in four colors: Skeleton Blue, Skeleton Black, Blue Violet and Red Wine. About 15 hours of play could be obtained from one AA battery.

Yeah, I have a Swan Crystal. It is actually a very nice screen, but my desperate lack of games stops me playing on it.

I have that One Piece beat em up, and two RPG type things I have no idea how to play.
 
I thought the Swan Crystal was Bandai's answer to the GBA... So there are no speed/power enhancements between the two?

I always wanted a Swan.. they looked so cool. I was upset when the thing never left Japan.
 
Baahhh... :D

About the only one I could find, and nowhere to be found... Where'd you get yours?

I believe there are few fighting games, not that I particularly care about those... But they are good in comparison to other fighting games, or so I'm told.

Few Rockman (Megaman) games, I'd imagine those are playable...

And I'd think something like Front Mission might be playable. I think the numbers for weapons and such are indeed numbers... And I know the story allready. :)

Or maybe I should start learning japanese? Arigato gosaimas! Watashi no watabe wakatta? (No idea what that means...) So desuka.
 
Hi, I've just received my swancrystal (from http://www.lik-sang.com) and I've no games yet.
If I try to power-up the console without cartridge inserted, the screen shows a lot of coloured vertical lines and the unit turns off.
Anyone can tell me if this is a normal behavior?
Thanks ad I apologize for my off-topic question.
Regards from Italy!
 
yeah, sometimes i wanna just learn the language, too.
are wa nandesu ka? hahaa, it'll never happen :D
 
hahaaa
i seriously wanna learn the language just to play some games and nothing else!
 
I've got a Colour with a few games (Including Final Fantasy 4) but, yeah the japanese language is a bit of a hurdle for me. I got it for my collection, but it's such a cute neat little handheld, it's a shame they didn't release a US/Euro range of games for it.

The ones i'd love to get though would be the Wonderborg with cartridge, and Wonderwitch with cartridge. WB gives you a little robot bug that you can control via the WS, and also program the different functions (kinda like those robots in school where you punch in the commands and let it roll), and WW is a wonderswan game programming language, you program the games on the PC, transfer to the cartridge, and try out on the WS.

But they are both rare as hell. :(
