Though I only have Galactic Pinball, I still love my virtual boy. That 'in the dark' thing definitely makes the experience all the better. Nice video. Nice to see someone who really loves the thing.

Thanks for confirming what I had thought about Virtual Bowling being the same game as Nester's! I knew it was way too odd for a system with such little amount of games to have two "internationally exclusive" bowling titles. Cool video man, I wish I had a VB.

@PNI2 It really makes you think about Nintendo. The PS3 is going 3D, AVATAR is the number one grossing movie ever, and 3D TV is the rage. They gave it a try 15 years ago. sure, they got it wrong, but you have to admire how far ahead of their time they were.

I've never heard anything but bad things about the Virtual Boy, but this video made me want to seek one out. I played one for about an hour at a department store way back in the day and played Tennis and the wire frame plane one. Tennis was awesome but it was too hard for me to see what was going on in the wire frame one. I'll definitely be looking for a system now. Thanks for the review!

A company should try to remake the virtual boy with today's technology. It may not result very well but who knows. Maybe they can try to add in a tad bit more color. I did not mention Nintendo remaking the Virtual Boy because I know that their patents have been expiring for some older systems.

The right D-pad is used in several American games, what are you talking about??? In Red Alarm, you absolutely need the right d-pad to quickly swerve out of the way of enemy fire. In Jack Bros, you need the right d-pad to quickly fire in any direction. In the japanese game Insmouse Mansion, you need it to aim your weapon.

Fortunately it was Wario, Mario Tennis, and Pinball; the one in space. Now, 13 years later, almost 20 years old this July, i STILL have it and I STILL play it... when i'm up at my dad's place, hehe. And that is not that often, lol. But anyways, i still have it not matter how shitty it is. Cheers to all gamers!
