Favorite Virtual Boy Game

Berserker

Back to Nintendo this week!

We all know and love the Virtual Boy.

The awkard position you need to be in to play it...

The brain-damaging headaches it causes...

The gigantic library of games to play on it...

Speaking of the games, which is your favorite?

Last Week's Poll: Favorite Sonic Genesis Game

Winner: Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Runner Up: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles

Dead Last: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 & Knuckles

Wow... Sonic 3D Blast didn't finish last. (Although beating the Sonic 2 with Knuckles is pretty hard.)

I'd imagine Wario Land wins this hands down as a game.

Berserker

I'm always kind of liked Mario Clash. It was just... Different.

Crabmaster2000

VERTICAL Force for me.

Berserker

^ Good catch. Guess I'm still not quite awake! lol

technicalfoul

I've never played Virtual Boy, so I can't vote!

Juniorfan

Knowing I got the good old "Migraine in the Box", I would say Wario Land from what I played.

NewUser123456789

Virtual League Baseball was always fun to me.

Hoddy Krishnuh

I think most will agree Wario, as I would. Though Vertical Force and Mario Clash come in second and third for me.

Austin

Red Alarm = the best shooter of its kind that's not Star Fox.

Penguin

I love playing Wario Land on my VB, but only for short periods of time

GameboyRicky

Voted Wario Land... great game!

Mario's Right Nut

You know, I have a complete set (including the Jap games) and I still don't have a VB...? WTF.

Mr.SelfDestruct

I like mario clash that was a fun game.

I actually had to double check after reading it. Thought for a minute I'd been calling it by the wrong name all these years.

Wario Land gets my vote.

I put Mario Clash. My original system when it came out I just had Tennis, Red Alarm, Mario and 3DTetris. I had another some years ago I had to ditch due to cash/moving and I then had Tennis, Wario Land, Red Alarm, V-Tetris, Boxing, Pinball, Panic Bomber, Baseball and Vertical Force. So I've tried a good many.



I got a used one (visor is a little messed) free recently and it had Tennis again and Red Alarm, and once it gets here from skulldeath I got 6 more being Golf(new to me!), Baseball, Mario Clash, Wario, Boxing, Pinball, and Baseball. So short of the hardest to find VB USA and much of the JP stuff I've done a lot.



Mario Clash I feel I put the most time into and enjoyed a lot, but also Red Alarm was a close second. I got Wario that 2nd time around and it was pretty fun but it didn't stand out as much for replay value as those other two. I got to wonder how much I'll put into times/hours on that golf game as it's new to me.

I loved the 3D effects in Galactic Pinball. Also it was a lot of fun playing trying to beat friends scores.

Wario Land is by far the best game for it. But I played a TON of Teleroboxer.

CompleteSNES

This is making me want to open my sealed games just to try them out haha

Tanooki

I've hit the proverbial wall here on VB stuff by my memory, the wall of that anything I want from this point forward is now in that $20+ range with 8 of the 14 USA releases and none from Japan that aren't already US releases except for V-Tetris as it's a cheapie.

Maydogg6

I've got to go with the obvious, Wario Land.



A really solid game and a lot of fun to play. Though to be fair, I haven't given the other games as much love as I would like. I really need to sit down and give Jack Brothers and a few others a playthrough.



What's really surprising is the two votes so far for Waterworld.

Derpy Hooves

Wario Land is fun, if only it could be re-released through WiiWare or something, take out the second screen, thus no headaches or eye strain.

BenG76

I would have to not vote here because I have never actually played a Virtual Boy.

Berserker

I can't believe there are so many people on NA who haven't played a Virtual Boy before.

I really hope they come out with a Virtual Boy Collection for the 3DS...

BenG76

I hope to check out a friend of mine's when I visit his house again. Maybe it wont give me a headache.

Never got headaches from playing Virtual Boy but I do get a feeling of being "drained" or "tired" after a longer session. Kind of like the feeling of staring at a computer screen for a long time.



I voted for Wario. A great game.

Austin

I never got headaches from it either, and I used to play it for hours at a time. These days though, since my eyesight has gotten worse, it's been harder to play it without squinting. I think it's time to get glasses.

As someone already said, let's hope for once Nintendo gets a good idea when it comes to old stuff and we see a VB section to their 3ds virtual console, or better yet, shove the whole damn lot of them (only 12 in the usa anyway or was it 14?) on a 3DS cart as-is in red/black glory and perhaps a modern 'colorized' version as the system is made for this stuff.

That's actually a pretty damn-good idea.

Galactic Pinball, Hands down. I remember rolling through batteries playing that game when I went camping or on the dock at our place in Michigan at night. GOOD TIMES.
