Non VB VB-related games

Super Mario Land III

The SD Gundam series of games.

The Mario Tennis “games”.

Jack Bros is a shin megami tensei title which has been on Nintendo hardware in Japan since the Famicom and has been since though also on Sony and others since too.

Space Invaders in Japan is kind of self explanatory as it has been ported to anything with a chip and display.

Good point. I never really bothered with the game on my VB back in the 90s as I had Panic Bomber on J-SCD for the Duo, and most recently until I sold it on a Neo Geo MVS cart. Now I just have the VB release which despite the lack of many colors I find better on this anyway.

And yeah 3D Tetris is like that 3D blockout game from like 30-35 years ago. Even the Tetris company had their own kind of a play on it too Welltris though that fell down the sides and wasn’t a 3D floating block to the center. So that one would be like the father in design since the next logical step would not be the wall on a well but 3D blocks within it instead.

Golf on the VB I forgot to note, T&E Soft made it, and that game is just them again re-using their game golf engine that they have used 3x on the SNES (Waialae Golf, Pebble Beach, and Wicked 13 Golf) and also again Waialae Golf for N64 and 2 more only in Japan around Augusta. Each uses the same engine and they’re all unofficially as such part of the same series.

And Vertical Force, never really see it come up, but you have to be blind not to notice that it’s designed just like the original Star Soldier game also by Hudson. Both vertical shooters, both of them have your fighter play on 2 playing fields high and low, and with kind of similar weaponry and ship designs too for the franchise (of star soldier.)

If you’re willing to expand this list to “Games that reference VB in some way”, then you should add Mutant Mudds — there’s a really great red and black hidden level. If you play it on a 3DS it’s even in 3D! 😀

The Nintendo Labo VR is VB related….i’ll let y’all see by yourself 😛 (not just the concept)
