Have a stupid question i am new to the virtual Boy just got my first one about three weeks ago. I was wondering if you can play the jap games on the US VB. Thanks

Ryan

The preferred term is “Japanese” or “JPN”.

Yes, Japanese games can be played on US Virtual Boys and vice versa. The hardware is internally identical, and some games (for example Mario’s Tennis and Galactic Pinball) are identical in their American and Japanese versions.

Thank You

Agreed. Everything in this post is correct.

Not to rail it in your head if you don’t need to hear it, but Jap is a racist term. JPN is the “PC” abbreviation for Japanese, and will save you lots of heat in the future on internet forums and elsewhere in life.

Also, welcome to the forums, and enjoy your stay. 🙂
