==Game library== {{main|List of WonderSwan games|List of WonderSwan Color games}} [[Image:Gunpey WS screenshot.jpg|thumb|right|A screenshot of ''[[Gunpey]]'' for the original WonderSwan. ''Gunpey'' was named for [[Gunpei Yokoi]], developer of the system.]] Koto Laboratories claims that the WonderSwan sold 10 million game cartridges in all.<ref name="koto"/> In developing games for the WonderSwan, Bandai leveraged the assistance of several developers. [[Banpresto]]—part-owned by Bandai at the time—added support by way of [[anime]] licenses and licensed titles, while [[Namco]] and [[Capcom]] also developed titles for the handheld.<ref name="USG"/> [[Square Enix|Squaresoft]] contributed remakes of ''[[Final Fantasy (video game)|Final Fantasy]]'', ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'', and ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'', which later also came to the Game Boy Advance.<ref name="USG"/><ref name="colorSpec"/> [[Taito]] contributed well-received ports such as ''[[Space Invaders]]'' and ''[[Densha de Go!]]''. Bandai augmented these releases with games of its own, including exclusive titles in the ''[[Digimon]]'' and ''[[Gundam]]'' franchises.<ref name="retro-gamer-36"/> To compete with ''[[Tetris]]'', Gunpei Yokoi developed a puzzle game for the system ultimately named ''[[Gunpey]]'' in his honor.<ref name="retro-gamer-126"/> A sequel known as ''Gunpey EX'' was a launch title for the WonderSwan Color.<ref name="retro-gamer-36"/> Certain games produced through the WonderWitch kit, such as ''Judgement Silversword'', have also been noted as excellent titles.<ref name="retro-gamer-36"/><ref name="USG"/><ref name="NintendoLife WonderSwan"/> Support for the WonderSwan has been considered underwhelming. Although some well known third-party developers supported the console, most publishers continued to exclusively support Nintendo's handhelds. The departure of Squaresoft as a developer and its return to Nintendo has been cited as a factor in the WonderSwan's diminishing sales in later years.<ref name="retro-gamer-36"/> After the discontinuation of the WonderSwan in 2003, several developers ported WonderSwan games to the Game Boy Advance.<ref name="USG"/>
