The WonderWitch is a commercial development kit for the WonderSwan. The kit allowed any person able to develop software in the developing language C, to create software for the WonderSwan. It was supported throughout the lifespan of the WonderSwan and was updated multiple time, including a major update on December 24, 2000 to add support for the WonderSwan Color and added support for Windows XP on October 29, 2001.

The WonderWitch was not for everybody as good programming skills were required to be able to use it. The development kit was also expensive considering that the consoles were sold to half the price of the WonderWitch. Even without being a huge success, the WonderWitch was able to gather a very active community of WonderSwan developers which gave the idea to Bandai and Qute to create a programming contest.
