Developed by Taito, Densha de Go! arrived on the WonderSwan as a simulation game.

It is part of the Densha de Go! series. The series also appears on other systems with Densha de Go! (PS1) and Densha de Go! (Saturn). Taito also made Space Invaders for the WonderSwan.

Densha de Go! is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to think and plan
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you've played the WonderSwan hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want clear goals and a defined ending
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Densha de Go! is like

Simulation games model a system and let you play inside it, whether that means building a city, flying a plane, raising a pet or running a business.

Tip for newcomers: Simulations are often open-ended. Set yourself small goals and enjoy experimenting with the systems.
