+ | *sharc: One of Squaresoft's most unknown titles; still Wonderswan-exclusive RPG that predictably revolves around a ragtag band of pilots fighting off an evil empire. Battles are turn-based but are notable for the depth of options; in addition to multiple attack maneuvers, you can forego turns to change speed or altitude and improve your accuracy, evasion or attack power on the following turn. Fair warning: lots of kanji in barely-readable font size so bring a walkthrough. JUST SWEEP! | ||

In an inexplicable Laugh-In reference, the game announces the entrance of level bosses with "Here comes the Judge!" It's often called an homage to Radiant Silvergun, but the similarity only extends to both games' close-range weapons (Silversword's shield to Silvergun's sword). The title is a reference to the Battle Garegga ship Silver-Gun. | + | *Shiren the Launderer: //Judgement Silversword// was released after winning the 2001 WonderWitch Gran Prix programming contest and now commands a ridiculous price despite several reprints.

- | The WonderWitch was a development kit and cartridge released by Bandai that allowed users to create their own WonderSwan games in conjunction with a PC. //Judgment Silversword// and //Dicing Knight// were made using this. //Cardinal Sins//, [[people:M-KAI]]'s sequel to //Judgement Silversword//, was only released as a WonderWitch file through the creator's website, and there is no emulator that currently supports the WonderWitch cart. This meant that a physical WonderWitch remained the only way to play //Cardinal Sins//, until a reprogrammed port of the game was included with //[[game:Eschatos]].// The WonderWitch mascot also appears as a hidden bonus item in //[[game:Eschatos]].// | + | The WonderWitch was a development kit and cartridge released by Bandai that allowed users to create their own WonderSwan games in conjunction with a PC. //Judgment Silversword// and //Dicing Knight// were made using this. //Cardinal Sins//, [[people:M-KAI]]'s sequel to //Judgement Silversword//, was only released as a WonderWitch file through the creator's website, and there is no emulator that currently supports the WonderWitch cart.
