I remember this handheld from the early days when it had a tiny bit of momentum because Squaresoft released a few RPGs on it. I was always disappointed it wasn't released here simply because I wanted portable Final Fantasy. Obviously that need has been met by the GBA, but I always wondered about the rest of the library.
The dual orientation design of the system looks really interesting. The huge battery life on a single AA battery sounds incredible. What's more is that for an import only system it's not going for a lot on Ebay. Looks like you can easily get a Wonderswan Color for around $50.
Then I started researching the library. Because I don't have any kind of understanding of the Japanese language I wouldn't be able to play any of the RPGs on it (except maybe FFIV. I know that game so well it would be an interesting challenge. I bet I could beat it if I kept notes on which spell is which). I was surprised to see that there's a Klonoa game on the platform and I'm a huge fan of the series. In addition Clock Tower could be cool, but I would have to follow a guide. Then there's the puzzle game Gunpey which is supposedly mostly in English, and a few other games in genres where you don't need to read.
What is GAF's thoughts on the system? I'm really, really close to buying one and was simply wondering if it's worthwhile.
