Every Digimon WonderSwan Game - Casp

Not many people can talk about the frickin' Wonderswan and make it worth your while, good content as always old chap 👌🏿

As a kid I wanted a WonderSwan more than anything because it had all these Digimon games that we never got here in the US.

Still waiting for that Digimon World: Next Order review. Do need one since I played the shit out of that game and 100%ed it but still wanna hear the opinion of the one person whose opinion I care for. Hope it will come soon ❤️

Hey since you're such an Anime Fan, ever thought about reviewing Naruto Games? The ones I had in mind would ne the Chronicle series... I loved those, especially the sequel 😂

It's an interesting experience, getting too look back on these old Digimon games. It surprises me how long it's taken the series to find its footing, and I'm still not fully convinced it's found its identity yet even though it seems to be getting closer to doing so.

And honestly I'm kinda surprised the franchise has not only lasted this long, but wasn't just flat out killed earlier through its own insane decisions and general mediocrity. A lot of game mechanics mentioned throughout all these retrospectives are things I can see that have made it into the modern games, and it's fascinating to see the teams gradually start learning from their experiments and implementing the mechanics that worked into more and more games until they finally reach where they are today. And while I get a level of satisfaction from seeing that progress in retrospect, I just wish the series reputation didn't have to get dropped in the toilet to get where it is now.

The second game makes it look like they’re fighting in a sperm-filled Fallopian tube when they’re attacking.

So the 02 Tag Tamer game doesn't punch holes in the animes plot. It explains why Ken ends up evil for the most part.

The games also connect 02 and Tamers because Ryo is from the Adventure universe but for whatever reason, really the anime because he was properly, he chose to live his life in a different world.

Essentially it helps established the metaverse of Digimon. Different Earth's exist while the Digital World tends to be the same except different servers.

When are you gonna review the fan made Digimon W0rld, where you play a REAL online MMO by connecting your REAL Digimon vpet to your computer?

I love that u still use dw2 soundtrack...say whatever u want about the game but the soundtrack is fire

Casp, your Digimon knowledge has proven to be vast, but let that not be an impediment to me being pedantic and pointing out that the very first version of the IEEE 802.11 protocol (the basis for modern WiFi) saw its first release in 1997, 2 years before the WonderWave was unveiled. So technically, no, this is not a piece of technology from before WiFi existed. Hope you enjoy this useless piece of info!

Crazy how these couldve easily been GBA games

Hey casp. Just re watching this for the fourth or fifth time. Just wondering- do you have any Digimon vpets? If so, which ones?

You could almost think it was LJN who made these digimon games.

Maaan we really need Digital Monsters: D-Project fan translation.

It most likely won’t happen, but it would be pretty neat if they announced remakes of these games for all regions at tomorrow’s Digimon Con!

Hard times in rule 34, hard times.

Nice ^^

“Bashing the meat machine frequently “

lmao nanimon does look like moviebob

I kinda hate Veedramon

ouch. that ending

I wish I could find this English color version for wonderswan color

The animations & sprites for these are so nice.
P.S. I'm really loving all the Digimon World 2 audio <3

Went to a Toys r' Us one day and see they sell a wonderswan bundled with digimon game. It was really cheap at that time, cheap enough for me and my brother to buy one using our pocket money. We don't even know what is a wonderswan, just bought it for digimon.

I love DM ver Wonderswan. I only ever raise like one mon at a time but I like having 7 in reserve. My heart breaks tho when I remember that the eggs only go up to v4 (so no v5 w the godzilla digis and no v6 with Tentomon ;-;)

I hope the millenniumon saga gets turned into an anime

02 Tag Tamer is technically a prequel to Digimon 02, since time travel is involved

Many of this games have good basis, but it seems that they tried to reinvent the wheel instead of improving the wheel they already have, the only exception being the Ryo series, given that they did try to improve but it was only baby steps starting from a boring game.

why the fuck didnt they ever just make a pokemon game clone. With random encounters where you captured other digimon (not digimon world 3 that was terrible and slow)

LOL Ken being in the game is actually a huge part of the second half of Digimon 02 and the reason he is the Digimon Emperor. There is a random scene that makes no sense unless you have played these games and the dark spore that is the main plot of the second half of Digimon 02 comes directly from the end of that game.

it's truely a bummer, none of the digimon games were actually good.

Really love to see somebody cover these games. I always see them on the emulator sites but, never bother with them

Glad I'm not missing much. I kept imagining it was way better than it actually was

Well with the way the games are and how bad you don't care about the story within (despite the game not too great), I guess there's a reason why Bandai never wanted Wonderswan in the US in the first place

You can't talk bad about the original anime...GET HIM!

looks cool for a wonderswan game

Wonderswan Ryo games are meh if you play it as an adult but if i got them as a kid, it would've made my day!! I had the misfortune of growing up with Digimon World 4, all i ever wanted was to see Agumon to evolve into Greymon and throw a fireball but Digimon World 4 was like "NO, fuKk YOOOU!"

Moviebob is my favorite Digimon.

DIGIMON VER WONDERSWAN is genuinely the best one! 😎👍

digimon fucking itself by refusing at every turn to simply release one RPG with a robust battle system instead of pooping mechanics. Hair pullingly annoying

The kid is Ryo

From 02 and Tamers

You are a funny guy

Watching this it's not too surprising that the Wonderswan failed considering these games are part of the 1st party line-up. The games that are meant to be going toe-to-toe with Wario Land II & III, Pokemon Gold/Silver and Links Awakening DX. A lot of these Digimon games look like games you'd expect an unscrupulous 3rd party to crank out, not the platformer holder lol

They should have made fewer, but better games to prove the system has games as good as Gameboy. I don't really understand how'd they'd think these games would pose any challenge to the Gameboy, or convince 3rd parties there was any long-term vision for the Wonderswan worth sticking around for instead of just making games on Gameboy.

Don't you guys love how you're basically required to play a bunch of games from a obscure japanese exclusive handheld just so you can UNDERSTAND KEY PLOT POINTS OF THE SEQUEL TO DIGIMON ADVENTURE?!
