The Wonderswan was supposed to have a 3rd version, the Crystal, which was supposed to at the very least catch up to the GBA in terms of sound, and at most surpass the GBA all around. FF3 was supposed to be remade for it. I haven't heard a thing about it since then, so either both projects died out (in which case, where's FF3?, and what of the GBA port I've heard countless rumors about?), or they have made the fatal error of being totally silent on it and it's still on. It made the biggest dent by taking a "whopping" 10% of the portable market in Japan for a while, but too bad so sad, even the power of Final Fantasy wasn't enough to make it last long against the GBA. I'd put it on the top of my list except that it was never released stateside, whereas the Neo Geo was.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
