Wonderswan

Although the WonderSwan Color was slightly larger and heavier (7 mm and 2 g) compared to the original WonderSwan, the color version featured 512 kB citation of RAM and a larger color LCD screen.

In addition, the WonderSwan Color is compatible with the original WonderSwan library of games.

After the release of the WonderSwan Color, Bandai took approximately 8% of the market share in Japan partly due to its low price of 6800 yen (approximately US$65 ).

Another reason for the WonderSwan's success in Japan was the fact that Bandai managed to get a deal with Square to port over the original Famicom Final Fantasy games with improved graphics and controls.

Late 1990s By this time, the lack of significant development in Nintendo 's product line began allowing more advanced systems such as the Neo Geo Pocket Color and the WonderSwan Color to achieve moderate success.

Later versions of the game released upon the WonderSwan and mobile phones removed the latter effect entirely.

Prior to WonderSwan's release, Nintendo had virtually a monopoly in the Japanese video game handheld market.

Re-releases In addition to its original Famicom release, Final Fantasy II was re-released on the WonderSwan Color in 2001, and both singularly and as part of a collection with Final Fantasy I for the PlayStation in 2002.

The original WonderSwan had only a black and white screen.
