OMG! They didn't have android back then ... Can't do anything without android.

Um, Nokia had pretty advanced phones back then and a majority of Japanese people already had cell phones.

Oh yeah, most Japanese didn't have a PC so everything was either a phone or hand held game.

Besides Docomo's I-mode had already been in business so they already had a Java based OS. I hated I-mode because it needed proprietary HTML calls to work.

So ... Realistically even if Bintenso did break into the market back then games would have been tamagotchi in style.
