Nintendo Virtual Boy
The Nintendo Virtual Boy is still considered Nintendo's biggest failure in gaming history. The VB is a stereo-optic system that displays in tones of red
and black. The controller is very similar to the N64 controller, minus the analog sticks. It took 6 AA batteries, but had an AC adaptor to help with that.
The system claimed to be portable, but the only way to comfortably play is to use a table to rest the bipod on. One major downside to the system was no
multiplayer games (at least in the US). There is an Ext. port that could be used to link VBs together, and that should have been compatible with the
packaged title, Mario Tennis. Other games that were expected to have multiplayer are Mario Clash and Teleroboxer. I personally loved this system and have
a couple. Here is my list of games:
Name: | Model No.: | Description: | Image: (if available) |
VB Console | | The Virtual Boy system itself. | |
VB AC Adaptor | | Wall plug. | |
Galactic Pinball | | Pinball game. | |
Mario Clash | | New version of Mario Bros. This time in 3-D. | |
Mario Tennis | | Obviously tennis. The game that came with the system. | |
Red Alarm | | Wireframe Flying Shooter. | |
Teleroboxer | | Robotic First Person boxing game. | |
Vertical Force (J) | | Another Flying game. | |
Wario Land | | Wario Platform game. Best game on the system. | |
