Hello again Planet VB! MegaSilverX1 here and I’d like to ask the community what are some of your favorite Virtual Boy games. I have two reasons why I ask this; #1 I’m still a new owner of a Virtual Boy and although I can look up reviews of the games on various websites, I’d like to know what games you guys think are worth playing, and #2 with the 10 games I would like to create another blog over on Screwattack to show that even though the console itself may not be liked by all, the games should at least be given a chance to play since I know the Virtual Boy has some stellar games for it. Your list doesn’t have to be in any order and the games can be regular games or homebrew.

So far I’ve created a few Virtual Boy related blogs like reviews of some of the games and showcases with two of the blogs being front paged. I’ll credit the website and you for submitting your favorite games once everything is finished.

Some of my VB blogs:

Having recently played Bound High for the first time, I would really say that it’s outstanding. Definitely check it out.

Wario’s a great platformer.

Mario Tennis shows the 3D effect really well.

Galactic Pinball has a lot of great content.

Thanks for helping with the blog guys. I almost have it all written out and it should be posted this weekend.

Editor’s Note: Personally, I disagree with this blog post, as my experience with the Virtual Boy (while good for a few chuckles) resulted in a massive headache after only 20 minutes of play. But even though I disagree, I still found this to be an enjoyable read…but I’ll say that the 3DS’ 3D effect is far superior. 😛

Who’s the jackass who did your editing? I think it’s been well-established by now that anyone who gets a headache from Virtual Boy doesn’t know how to use the IPD and Focus controls.

It’s just his opinion.

I find playing the Virtual Boy in the dark, with the automatic pause feature on, and playing with the IPD and Focus to reduce any chance of getting a headache.

It’s not really the editor’s place to be commenting on an article. That’s what the Comments section is for. |-:
