Was Wario Land the only decent fucking game on this piece of shit?
It was such an awesome piece of hardware but there were NO good games on it, holy shit

[Anonymous No.9723194]

Teleroboxer and mario tennis were pretty tits, don't remember any of the other games

[Anonymous No.9723197]

Teleroboxer, Red Alarm, Vertical Force, hell even Mario Tennis. The library is tiny but surprisingly decent.

[Anonymous No.9723201]

Wario Land is an amazing Game, not just decent.
Teleroboxer is also amazing.
The rest of the games all range from good to decent, I think the only real bad one is Waterworld.

[Anonymous No.9723205]

The only game i like for it is panic bomber. I don't even like the wario game

[Anonymous No.9723208]

>>9723201
At least Waterworld has a kickass soundtrack, the real bottom tier game for virtual boy is Virtual Lab

[Anonymous No.9723209]

>>9723201
Even water world isnt that bad of you go in with the mindset that its Virtual Asteroids.

[Anonymous No.9723227]

I loved Galactic Pinball as a kid. I'd try to get the bonus round where you play as Samus's Gunship over and over.

>piece of shit

Ur zoomer bitch n64s and playstations was the piece of shit.
The virtual boy had potential and was way ahead of its time and all 14 games that were released in the us were mostly good but the retards decided to kill it due to the fad of the gaystation .8mvsx8
Just look at today’s playstation VR, that wouldnt have existed if it wasnt for the virtual boy

[Anonymous No.9723249]

That's what happens when a system doesn't even manage to last a year. Imagine how shit many consoles would have been if you basically only had their launch libraries.

Literally in the case of Teleroboxer...

[Anonymous No.9723250]

>>9723229
It has monochrome graphics and worse battery life than atari lynx. 4 hours on six AA batteries, it's almost as bad as the game gear.

How come 3DS never got VB virtual console releases?

[Anonymous No.9723358]

>>9723186
Galactic Pinball
also fuck Nintendo for not porting these games to 3DS

[Anonymous No.9723364]

>>9723332
Part of the VB's magic is the visor that isolates your vision from outside light, ir created a sort of private theater sort of thing. 3DS couldnt have replicated that.
What Nintendo needed to do was more 3D classics, like Super Metroid 3D or F Zero 3D.

It's interesting how the virtual boy's resolution was actually smaller than the 3DS's; per eye, 384x224 and 400x240 respectively. There really WASN'T anything stopping Nintendo from porting that shit, my original assumption was just that the Virtual Boy's resolution was too large for the 3D effect to work.

[Anonymous No.9723459]

Most of the R&D1 output was pretty good, sadly it's stuck on VB

[Anonymous No.9723464]

>>9723332
Outside of the occasional reference in an R&D1 game, it's pretty clear nintendo wants to bury the Virtual boy and barely ever speak of it.

>Imagine how shit many consoles would have been if you basically only had their launch libraries.
I think about this. The NES would be a footnote if all it ever got was the black box games. It'd be known as the Super Mario Bros. machine.

[Anonymous No.9723476]

>>9723467
Are you insane? Each one of those is a classic.

[Anonymous No.9723483]

>>9723428
The real limit is that the 3D effect is hard coded to the viewing distance. That's why emulators have trouble reproducing the effect on 3D capable TVs. The further you are from the screen, the less dramatic the stereoscopic effect needs to be to reproduce the same results. You probably can't slap a bunch of roms onto a 3DS cart and have it "just work."

[Anonymous No.9723489]

>>9723476
I can name 5 classics. Several others were available on other platforms like Colecovision. Some, like Ice Climber, are legitimately bad.

[Anonymous No.9723514]

>>9723250
No ur mother is as bad as the game gear.
At the time, Monochrome graphics were way advanced and would’ve been the bomb if it wasn’t for the other garbage consoles like the gaystation and N69 plaguing the market. Also, maybe stop being a cheap fag and buy more batteries?

Get good at calculating jump arcs and stop blaming the game's controls for your lack of motor skills

[Anonymous No.9723567]

Or I can play Super Mario Bros. that actually works right. Hell, even regular Mario Bros. works right.

Ice Climber is good and offers a decent challenge

[Anonymous No.9723575]

>>9723567
Ice Climber is closer to DK than MB or SMB.
>>9723572
Correct

[Anonymous No.9723582]

>>9723575
It's not the jump arc in Ice Climbers that's the problem. It's the weird ass collision detection with the platforms.

[Anonymous No.9723589]

>>9723582
You just learn that you can't stand your character on a platform unless the whole body gets there. It's a design choice and yes it angers you and you want to blame the game because you aren't timing and calculating your jump arcs right.
It's a very methodical game, like DK.

[Anonymous No.9723592]

>>9723589
Castlevania is a methodical game. Ice Climbers is just bad.

[Anonymous No.9723603]

>>9723592
Both CV and Ice Climber are good games.
You failed to argumentate and it's obvious the problem is your own skill deficiency.

[Anonymous No.9723654]

>>9723186
There was an anon over in /emugen/ who was working on a VB emulator for the 3DS, though he was tailoring it specifically just to play Wario Land. Unfortunately he only ever released a few WEBMs of it in action before seemingly abandoning it.

That's like the opposite of the truth, the hardware is shit but the games are all kinda good-ish.

>>9723229
Setting aside Zoomers not even being goddamn born in 1995, the Playstation came out YEARS before the Virtual Boy did, you fucking brain damaged trilobite fuckwit. Fuck you, I hope you get raped by a wild pack of niggers, while your mom watches, and it's her turn after you for not swallowing you.

The Playstation didn't came out years before the VB.
The 3DO, however, did.

[Anonymous No.9723742]

>>9723730
I was seeing red, but yes, Playstation came out late 94, however Virtual Boy came out in the middle of 95, so my point stands that we should all take turns beating anon with a brick.

Euhhh the hardware also sucked. Headache inducing red-black graphics together with some silly table mount just doesn't look attractive to anyone.

I think even the 32x is a better system that this, should've never been released in the first place.
