MobileWonderGate: This web browsing and email add-on featuring NTT DoCoMo cellular phone interface was way ahead of it’s time and set the stage for the PSP and DS browsers.Though even with a big name publisher and several stellar titles, Nintendo released the Gameboy Advance shortly after and simply sunk the ship that was the Wonderswan.

Innovative Design: Designed by fabled Gunpei Yokoi and featuring both horizontal and vertical game controls, the Wonderswan truly was ahead of its time.
