I will not be getting one. It’s kind of a pain keeping your head locked in one spot in order to see the 3D effect.

Get it for the good games and switch off the 3D then.

Nathan I have one question that eats at me, do you actually like the Virtual Boy or is it clever sarcasm, where you play it off like Keith likes it but he’s dumb so in reality it means to say that the VB sucks?

Me too!

1) Are there any translation projects for VB ROMs that I could patch and use on hardware once the FB+ arrives? I want to play some of the JP only exclusives and sadly I can not read or understand Japanese.

There’s a translation of the intro to Space Squash, that’s about it I think.. but trust me there’s no game with much of a story. I think SD Gundam is the one with the most text but most of it I assume is like “My robots will defeat your robots!” etc.

2) Have all of the known VB retail carts been dumped?
All of the games that was released in stores, yes. But some of the cancelled games that existed in prototype form still haven’t surfaced like Dragon Hopper and Faceball 2000, even though we scored a great win with Bound High, that game rocks.

3) Any other sites for VB homebrew that users could recommend?
I don’t know of any others myself

4) What homebrew projects should I be sure not to miss?
Keep and eye on Castle of Doom and Capitan Sevilla II, two platformers that are looking promising and are still being worked on.

Btw dude, you need to buy Wario Land. It’s mandatory.

This does not help “our cause”… Someone should direct him to the IPD knobs

Det där är väl demos mest?

I made this when I still thought monochrome meant Black, WHITE, and one color… stupid stupid me.

bump… is nobody gonna watch this?

Nester’s Funky Bowling vs Virtual Bowling!

Nester’s Funky Bowling vs Virtual Bowling

Ebay and Tradera (Swedish ebay).

^ True.

I played Soviet Union 2010 in flashboy and it had some glitches. Dunno if it has that in emulator or not. I liked it about as much as I like any 2D schmup, which is not very much. But thats me, it’s just not a genre I enjoy. But I did like the whole soviet union concept, I think its funny.

I feel the same way in that I would want to see more finished games. But I do understand the difficulty of programming and the time it takes. I don’t know what the creator of Mario Kart VB is doing on the project now…

Right now I’m hoping for Capitan Sevilla and Castle of Doom to get finished. If those were finished and polished, especially Sevilla, they could be better than quite a few of the official licensed games!

I’ve just watched the reviews you made, and I gotta say, very good production quality! There’s just one little suggestion, though…

The game sounds are kind of canned. Maybe you could make a direct connection from the headphone jack to your microphone jack, to get the best sound quality? Male-to-male analog audio jacks do exist (I have three).

Thy will be done. I have one of those cords… I’m not sure it’s long enough though. But I will look into it.

sigh… no review today. The Wav containing my voice has gone missing. NO idea how that happened, but I do have another coy of it at another location. Unfortunately I don’t have a key there anymore so I have to mail a guy working there and he can send it to me. But anyway, it will be delayed because of that.

Objection!

So whats your objection? Or did you just take the opportunity to quote Phoenix Wright?

Virtual Bowling vs Nester’s Funky Bowling is next, coming this sunday.

After that I have to go record more footage in order to do more reviews.

I really want to do Bound High next… any objections?

Well I definately want to read more after that one!

I’ve had 3 but got the first on in fall 2008. Wario Land, Red Alarm and V-Tetris hooked me from the start.

Insmouse no Yakata!
