Games That Defined The Virtual Boy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ow-my-eyes dept.

The always-refreshing RetroGaming with Racketboy has an article up looking at some of the defining games for the much-maligned Virtual Boy game console. The all-red screenshots are meant to remind you of all the 'good times' that could be had with Nintendo's most resounding failure. From the article: "If there is one game that I think utilizes the 3D element the best, it would have to be Teleroboxer. This Mech/Punch-Ount hybrid game should be a welcome addition to any Virtual Boy game library. Much like Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, you have different attacks, blocking ability, and the need to discover your opponent's weaknesses and openings in their fighting patterns."

  1. One or 24 ? Games That Defined The Virtual Boy by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Informative

    mmm games that defined the virtual boy, shouldn't be that hard to find since
    only 24 or such were release worldwide... but stop kidding i know the answer:

    NONE.

    at least if you are like me and get away from the red thing 30 seconds after trying Mario Tennis (and getting a headache)

    That's because the virtual boy was only able to display red. Those are pretty much accurate.

    Keep in mind, though, the originals are 3d, as opposed to 2d jpgs.
