New Virtual Boy mini series on YouTube – Virtual Boy Works

Very cool stuff and helpful to know that YT destroys red/black images with their compression algorithm!

Nice to see the library getting some love for a change.

Watched both episodes. Seems very fair so far. I commented not long ago about how AVGN can’t bear to say anything positive about VB games, which usually looked like “this game is pretty good! Except it’s on the terrible VIRTUAL BOY!!” (which is par for his channel/character.)

So I like that JP is up-front about trying to review the games for their own merits, separating them from the Virtual Boy except when the platform has an actual effect on the game. I expect he’ll review all 22 games, not stopping at just the NA releases. I look forward to seeing the rest. Maybe they’ll measure up to retronintendonerd’s reviews. 😀

You’re really too kind. Jeremy’s ability to have higher production quality guarantees his videos will Shit on mine lol. I’m totally ok with that though. I’m thrilled to see another person take on the library too (and much more capable than me).

Though I still prefer Johan Öbergs video reviews the most!

I love his videos as well and are my favorites I’ve found covering the system and games. They’re really well done. I am very flattered that you enjoyed mine and found them more informative. That was kinda my goal with the series. A lot of folks jump into the VB games without reading up on them and then they’re often like WTF am I playing. I felt the more informative approach would help people getting into the games.
