If you thought Rhyme Rider sounded impressive, "Beatmania for WonderSwan" is by far the most impressive WS game, aurally speaking. While Rhyme Rider combined pretty impressive audio and visuals together, this game is somewhat lacking visually, but has an amazing soundtrack. The game is easily one of the hugest WS games as well, with over a dozen MB worth of audio. From my understanding, this game includes music from the "3rd Arcade Mix" of Beatmania. It is also the only one to come with a snap-on mini turntable from my understanding (to make the game easier). It is one of MANY games within the popular Bemani category, but the only Beatmania game for WS.

If you've played a Beatmania game before, then you've played this, though the play control requires a little more precision for good results. The game includes ten songs and one hidden song for a total of eleven songs. While this may seem limited compared to other handheld Bemani/Beatmania games, the tradeoff is through high-quality songs with lyrics and more clarity than, say, the GB Bemani games. I play one song and auto-play the other two ("basic" songs) so you can get an idea of what the game is like. I'm not huge on the Beatmania games, but what should have been a popular handheld seller was relegated to obscurity. Enjoy.

Note: This game is played holding the WS vertically. It's advised that you watch in fullscreen HD when available, as vertical games aren't suited well to YT and it will look and sound better. The game is mostly in English, so it's import-friendly.
