Virtual Boy games on Rift are freaking sweet, I hope Nintendo makes some official releases once the consumer version of the Rift comes out. I have not tried Bound High yet, but I certainly will give it a shot.
I pledged on Day 1 of the Kickstarter, so I received my Rift pretty early. I am not affiliated with Oculus, I am just a guy having fun and trying to make informative videos.

I wonder where in the world he ever got the alleged title “Insane Mouse Mansion.”
Maybe someone told him it as a joke, knowing he would then repeat it multiple times in the video. Surprisingly, he almost got the title right when reading the Japanese title screen, yet he didn’t seem to make the connection to the fact that his initial title given is bogus.
Yeah, the rom was named that and I didn’t make the connection to Lovecraft. >.< I just passed along the wrong translation. Lesson learned - do the research, even for the quick and fun videos. Apologies to all!
I really do hate some of the "bash on the virtual boy" tone of some of these articles, the experience is freaking fantastic and VB had some great games.

I am using an updated/modified version of the emulator VBjin, called VBjin-ovr. Really easy – select oculus rift mode from the menu and load the rom!
It works extremely well, to the point that I had a 3 hour session with pinball and red alarm. XD There is no head tracking of course, but the image fills your vision and the old school graphics look sharp. The 3d is spot on for most titles.
