In the contect of the Ogha Shrugs timeline, we need to study a lot of divergences.... but making a little resume.
Gunpei Yokoi is still with Nintendo(with no pressure of the Playstation, Nintendo will easily delay or even outright cancel the virtual boy for the technology being pretty in infancy)? If yes, them the Wonderswam will never be released thus Bandai will save some money(the same money who they won with Digimon games was used to push the wonderswam without sucess), thus that must be cleared.
So, SEGA want to merge with Bandai in OTL, Until the failure of the Saturn blocked that decission, maybe will be the merge possible? here for more info http://www.eidolons-inn.net/tiki-index.php?page=SegaBase+Saturn+p4&bl=y . If that so, maybe Bandai will push the Game Gear or Nomad with Digimon as much Pokemon Change the fortunes of the ailing gameboy(thus delaying both Color and Advance a few years) maybe keeping SEGA handled for some type of third parties.
What happened to Square? in OTL with the money of PS1 they went so Bold that make the infamous movie final fantasy the spirit within, here being more moderate they will not make that mistake as OTL? and unlike OTL, they have more friendship with Nintendo thus yamauchi will not turn them off of the Gameboy/COlor & Advance until Enix merge change that? Enix take advantage of that, with Dragon quest remakes and new games, plus a pretty interesting game, Star OCean blue sphere:
