Recently 'Hon Shogi', a cartridge for Gameboy, appeared on market.  As I
sent it to my friend, I don't know how strong it performs in real game.
(Perhaps, later he will tell me about it.)

The company is:
Imaginia
Shinjuku Daiichi Seimei Biru 15F,
Nishi-Shinjuku 2-7-1, Sinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 163-07 Japan
Tel. +81-(0)3-3343-8911

The price is written as 4980 yen, but I bought it at 4000 yen in a game
software shop.

Several cartridges for training of Tsume-shogi (mating problem) are
available now.

But the problem for players out side Japan is how they buy them.  Those
companies do not sell their products by credit cards.  They only accept
cash or money order.  Is there a trade company exporting shogi things to
outside of Japan?
