Alright, that's something at least. I just tested it out. It's pretty fucking good. I had but the briefest experience with the Virtual Boy, only playing Wario Land for a few minutes at a Toys R' Us back in the day, and again a few years later when a family friend's kid brought his over with Mario's Tennis. I've always been curious about these games and a few others like Teleroboxer and Red Alarm, so it's nice to finally be able to experience them in 3D, even if the visor effect of the original will be lost.

>that should had just gotten a remake/remaster.
But it didn't, so writing an emulator for 3DS that can show its graphics properly is a good idea. VirtualBoy hardware is simple anyway, the developer didn't have to spend that much time on this compared to newer, more complex consoles. ESPECIALLY considering that the entire library is less than 20 games, so checking for regressions is a piece of cake.

Having an option to change the color is a godsend. The 3D effect looks stunning too. I wonder how hard it is to program an emulator that simulates 3D effects on 3DS using the window layer. I would love to play Game Boy games that look like this.

[Anonymous No.10727773]

If you have to play just one game for the Virtual Boy, it would undoubtedly be Wario Land, but there is still some good titles for it. I like Space Squash and Panic Bomber a lot.

GBA on 3ds is native, not emulation. That's why they were unable to do any of the usual VC stuff and why it was relegated to the ambassador program with a bare-bones presentation.

This is great news. The big hold up was that the 3D effect was tailored to the specific viewing distance of the Virtual Boy. If it works on 3DS it means they solved that problem and maybe 3D TVs will be next.

For a long time they didn't because the 3D effect would break if you weren't the right distance. The games weren't designed to be viewed from further away like on a TV.

>>10729983
O3DS or N3DS? With the former you pretty much have to have it positioned in just the right spot or you'll see double images. The N3DS uses the camera to see where your face is positioned and slightly adjusts the 3D effect so that it doesn't break as often if your face isn't centered.

It was large and red. It was a neat device for the time but the lack of color and the price helped it flop. The Virtual Boy isn't known for its award winning library of games, it was a slow release of gaming diarhhea until Nintendo pulled the plug.

Just try an Avegant Glyph or Royole Moon headset, or one of the newer AR glasses. It's just 3D floating in spatial view without any borders. Youtube videos showing Virtual Boy in 3D on the newer AR glasses.

wario land isnt even the best game on it, it's just the one that's most playable with a regular gamepad and with a name that people give a shit about (only devoted few will play old baseball/fishing games).

This post reminds me of how irritating english commentary on wonderswan is, where it seems people recommend or get excited about anything that is playable without JP even though several of them, like the capcom platformers, fucking suck. Just becomes so obvious to identify people who barely skim the surface of a console's knowledge but aren't afraid to mouth off online (or own an unusual hardware just to put it on a shelf).

the RPGs stand out, even some ports are notable (FF1 and 2 are arguably the best versions, bugs fixed, great 16-bit graphics but with authentic music, no load times, original spells/day system meaning no imbalance caused by MP), as are some oddities here and there (I think WildCard is neat, though weird and obtuse).
