WonderSwan

The Bandai WonderSwan is a handheld game console developed by Bandai and released in Japan in 1999. It was created by Gunpei Yokoi, the designer of Nintendo's Game Boy, and was intended to compete with the Game Boy in the Japanese market.

The WonderSwan featured a monochrome display and was powered by a 16-bit CPU. It had a small library of games, with most of them being developed by Bandai or other Japanese developers. It featured a directional pad and two buttons and was available in several colors. The WonderSwan was compatible with the games of its predecessor, the Bandai SwanCrystal, and it also featured a backlit version called WonderSwan Color. The WonderSwan Color was released in 2000 and featured a color screen and was compatible with a limited number of color games.

The WonderSwan was not as successful as the Game Boy, but it still had a small but dedicated user base in Japan. The WonderSwan was discontinued in 2003 after the release of the Nintendo Game Boy Advance and the Sony PlayStation Portable. It is worth mentioning that the WonderSwan was not released outside of Japan, and the lack of international support and localization limited its potential success.

The Bandai WonderSwan had a relatively small library of games, with most of them being developed by Bandai or other Japanese developers. Here are some examples of games that were released for the WonderSwan:
