Wonderswan Shooters? Were there Some?

[mosesshirai]

I mav be wrong, but I thought Raiden came out for the monochrome unit. Wasn't there also like a fan-programmed one of some sort? I sort of remeber it being called Judgment Silversword(I think). Any others?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I don't believe there was a Raiden released for the WonderSwan, but you are correct about the Judgement Silversword game. There was a contest for 2 years for fan programmed games (using the Wonder Witch - sorry if I messed up the name, i'm going off thetop of my head). The first year JS won the contest and was released, and the next year Dicing Knight won. Both sell for $$$$ -- i've seen JS on Yahoo Japan for 17k-20k, and i've seen Dicing Knight in Akiba (just a few months ago) for around 15k. IIRC, both came out after the official end of the WS lifespan.

Sure wish there were some shooter goodness for it, though -- it's a perfect system with that option to go vertical orientation...

So, no vertical shooters for the wonderswan? Is that for sure?

Judgement Silversword was vertical. I think there's also a shooter called Dim=Sum, but it's even harder to find than JS is.

SD Gundum: Operation UC is kinda-sorta-likea horizontal shooter... but the stages are brief and your maneuverability is the shits... other than that and what`s previously mentioned, I can`t think of any, and I have a pretty fair Wonderswan collection...

There were dozens of shooters made using the WonderWitch. Judgement Silversword is the one that won the contest and got produced on a cart, but there was lots of other ones, some of which were apparently better games according to those lucky bastards who managed to get WonderWitch units.
