Anyone ever have one of these? Growing up, I always wanted one, but I didn't understand Japanese so I never got one. Plus, it was before the relative ease of finding one online.

I may have to get one now. Any recommendations?

I've played some Wonder Swan games but unfortunately the thing had possibly the most ear grating soundchip I've ever heard for a portable console. The original Gameboy was no winner when it came to sound but it was still better than this. As far as I know the Gameboy Advance pretty much killed it and it's not too hard to see why.

Hahah I had no idea about the sound chip. I've always been interested in the Bandai consoles since they never made it to the States, like the Wonderswan and the Playdia. What a strange looking console.

One console I REALLY liked was the NEC PC-FX. As a kid I aaaaaalways wanted one, because I had a Turbo Duo and loved it. In college, I finally got one for a time from ebay and loved the ZENKI FX game, that game rocks! It was too bad it didn't get more love.
