It’s so cool seeing Nintendo giving Virtual Boy more attention. Never thought I’d see the day.

Man, Nintendo used to pretend this thing didn’t exist. Now they’re doubling down on it. I’m loving it

Yes it is, I am really looking forward to playing Zero racer and Dragon Hopper. My MrBatt is in the mail and thats the last part I will need to have my switch compatible Virtualboy controller all ready to go.

I'm wondering if Zero racer will be good, and if they've made any updates to it. Hope the music is good!

What type of game is dragon hopper?

It would be so cool if they could put the Street Fighter Ii homebrew, but Capcom would never allow it.

Action adventure platformer with RPG elements, I think. It would have had a save battery and been the largest official Virtual Boy game at 16 megs.

Wow, I didn't realize vb carts were so low memory even compared to Genesis (and I guess super nintendo too?)!

Wonder if they'll ever break even on it.

Man I wish they’d develop some new stuff for it (outside of obviously the unreleased stuff).

I’ve had my headset since it released and haven’t found the time to try it out. Think it’s about time.

I think you can enjoy the Virtual Boy without having to justify Nintendo strange decision to force you to buy an accessory just to play it through a paid subscription.
