WonderSwan Advance

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the match-made-in-heaven dept.

pecka writes "There is an article about a guy who took apart his WonderSwan Color and inserted Gameboy Advance motherboard and screen into the WS case so he can play WS games along with GBA's ones. And yeah, it's in French so you better use Babelfish." I'd call that an impressive hack!

    They're not always random. Some makers of that kind of clothing apparently have a rather disturbing sense of humor. Walking through Berkeley with a half-Japanese friend of mine one day, she started giggling for no apparent reason. I asked her why, and she said that a passing white girl's t-shirt said "whore" on the front. On the one hand, I didn't think it was funny, but on the other hand, you get what you deserve in a case like that.

    WonderSwan? WTH?

    Do they have a companion home console system named SuperDuck or UberSquirrel?

    I can just imagine the games they would make featuring "WonderSwan" and her sidekick "MegaGoose."

      Oh, that's right. I forgot that Japanese people love the look and sound of English words, but many have no idea what they mean. I learned this from Dave Barry's book "Dave Barry Does Japan" (very funny book, I recommend it) which includes the following actual quotations from T-shirts worn by unsuspecting Japanese citizens:

      I am Plump Mary.
      We're Bone Nob. We're happy our original dance.
      Nurse Mentality
      We hope to always have an open
      A souvenir goods make us happy anytime. Don't you Think So?

      If you head over to www.engrish.com you can see more examples of this hilarious stuff.

    The Wonder Swan has almost as bad a name as Game Cube or Dreamcast. I mean, I realize that the name of the thing probably sounds like Klink Klank Klong in the native tongue, but Wonder Swan? Come on...
