About Guilty Gear Petit on Wonderswan

Back in 2000, Guilty Gear leaped from the coin-op cabinets to your pocket as the first handheld entry, a Japan-exclusive for the WonderSwan that I still fire up. This is a full-fledged Guilty Gear game, not a cheap spinoff. You get Sol Badguy, Ky Kiske, and others, shrunk down into adorable chibi forms but still packing their entire move-sets and that trademark heavy-metal grit. Guilty Gear Petit is a Wonderswan entry prepared for browser play, with platform, controls, and play context worth checking before launch.

• A True WonderSwan Technical Gem
  This is a proper 2D fighter made to squeeze every drop from limited specs, which blew me away back then. It runs at a smooth speed on the hardware, capturing the frantic back-and-forth and projectile zoning the series became famous for.
• Chibi Style With a Full-Arsenal Feel
  Don't let the super-deformed art fool you - landing a perfectly timed Volcanic Viper or Sacred Edge with Sol or Ky feels exactly as weighty and satisfying as it should.
• A Time Capsule of Portable Fighting Game Design
  Playing it now takes me right back to wrestling with the WonderSwan's two action buttons, figuring out how developers mapped heavy slashes and Dust attacks effectively from the console's six-button layout.
