1990s Critics Review Every Virtual Boy Game on Nintendo Classics (Review Crew)

Forget the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Super NES, the Nintendo 64, the Game Boy Advance, the Genesis and even the GameCube, because next week Nintendo will be bringing the Virtual Boy to the Nintendo Switch Online. That’s right, despite selling fewer than 800,000 units back in the mid-1990s and largely being ignored over the last thirty years, Nintendo will be bringing porting the Virtual Boy for the very first time. Starting on February 17th, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers who buy either a cardboard or plastic Virtual Boy adaptor will have access to Wario Land, Red Alarm, Teleroboxer, 3-D Tetris, Golf, Galactic Pinball and The Mansion of Innsmouth. That’s cool news, but are any of these games actually worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Game Fan, Nintendo Power and more classic magazines that reviewed these games when they first came out. I sure hope you have some eye drops handy, because you’re going to need them when we dive into the black and red world of the Virtual Boy Review Crew. 0:00 – Introduction 1:21 – Commercial: Virtual Boy 1 (U.S.) 1:52 – Teleroboxer (Virtual Boy) 5:40 – 3-D Tetris (Virtual Boy) 8:35 – Pre-Order The Cheat Code Compendium 9:43 – Galactic Pinball (Virtual Boy) 13:05 – Golf (Virtual Boy) 15:42 – Commercial: Virtual Boy Wario Land (U.S.) 16:15 – Red Alarm (Virtual Boy) 21:03 – The Mansion of Innsmouth (Virtual Boy) 22:13 – Virtual Boy Wario Land (Virtual Boy) 25:14 – Commercial: Virtual Boy 2 (U.S.) 25:46 – Question of the Day Pre-Order The Complete Cheat Code Compendium: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
