    Thanks for the video, I used it on my trip. I came back last week and sadly the prices have shot up since you recorded this. I did score around 25 games and a system though, I absolutely love it and can't wait to head back to Japan again and try to find some more!

    Awesome Wonderswan Hunting Scruffy., made my day! There are a lot of complete boxed games with pretty great prices here. That Digimon Link Adapter is a steal, sells for 6X the price normally. This is an incredible handheld which has so much potential. Once you drop the IPS mod and try the English Patched games, the reply value is out of this world.

For a couple years now I've been on a mission to get all special editions of these handhelds. Still looking for a good deal on the yellow Chocobo and one of the Special Digimon version.

    I do miss the days of your live hunts, chatting with you in the middle of the night/early morning here. KZread did not give me the notification of this premiere till almost an hour after it ran. About Pocket Fighter, it is a Capcom product, so no Neo Geo for it. PS1 and Saturn saw ports, and the arcade game would end up on Street Fighter Alpha Anthology on the PS2. We also got a glimpse of the man himself, reflecting nicely off the glass those Wonderswan Crystals are in.

    @@ScruffyLookinRGB Nope, no WS, though I'd be reaaaaalllll picky if I had one, with the Magical Drop and Puyo Puyo Tsuu (naturally)for it as the games I'd desire for it. Not too much for the thing I would actually want, much prefer Gunpei Yokoi's first invention, the Game Boy better. As for the heat, I feel you, I'm from the same home state as Jim, summer here got started early this year, it has been a sweltering humid as hell June after a sweltering humid as hell May (it'll be hot here till at least late October). All I can say is stay hydrated, that summer heat is no joke.
