Description:
The WonderSwan Color is a colour hand-held LCD games console released in Japan, and the successor to the original WonderSwan. This new model was considered to be Bandai's competitor to the Nintendo Gameboy Color and is basically a colour version of the original WonderSwan with very little change with the hardware. However with no backlight, just like the Gameboy Color, it's new colour LCD was more difficult to see in lower light levels than it's monochrome predecessor. It was backward compatible with the original WonderSwan meaning older WonderSwan games work perfectly on the WonderSwan Color. A few WonderSwan Color titles were also backward compatible with the original WonderSwan, such as "Digimon Adventure 02", "Tetris" and "Terrors 2".
The WonderSwan has 2 sets of buttons which allow games to be played in both landscape and portrait.

In an attempt to compete with Nintendo's new Gameboy Advance, Bandai released the Swan Crystal which had a much improved FST LCD display. Despite a much lower price sales were comparatively poor (3.5 million) and all models of WonderSwan ceased production in 2003.
No models of the WonderSwan were officially released outside Japan, however many units were exported to both Europe and North America, albeit with the majority of games in Japanese.
