I do have a VB, two of them, and a flash cart as well. Virtual Boy Wario Land is good, but the hype it receives is way bigger than the game actually merits. Yes, the game is pretty good. Yes, the graphics, music, atmosphere are good. The controls are good and so are the power-ups. That doesn't excuse that the game is incredibly short and has exploration only impressive when compared to the original or to 4.
Frankly, I'm tired of people selling this game as the best one in the series or as the best one on the VB. I would definitely recommend other games, like Mario Clash or Galactic Pinball, over something that is really only middle of the road for its own series. And I would definitely rate 2 and 3 over it (and even shake it, that ungodly slog).
I'll go further and say that the people who sing this game's praises up and down are just full of it. Yes it is a good game, however, it is not the best Wario game. It is not the best VB game. I maintain people who say otherwise fall into one of a few camps:
1) people who have never played a real VB with a real controller or whom otherwise have only played Wario land, and thus don't understand the other games and how they were built around the unique controller (Wario land is an exception where the controller isn't that integral to the experience)
2) people who assert it is the best because, above all else, it is probably the one that the least people have actually played, and thus it is easy to lord over others as a "rare gem" that must be played when it's really just a good game that's tough to actually get (see also, any japan-only game which moon speakers hold over others as the most amazing entry in the series, almost entirely because the othwr western fans can't play it), or
3) bandwagon riders who have no ability or desire to form their own opinions, and just parrot what everyone else says.
