However, the Japanese people are very “honor based” — so I would strongly encourage you to write back and thank the second person for his kindness. That will ONLY promote good interaction. The “bookmarks” was a very good gesture.
It was U.S. Nintendo. I have sent a copy to Japan as well, but no response so far. I probably should write back though, but they want email.
I wrote a very polite letter to Nintendo around a month ago, saying how I am a long time fan of their games, and asking about any info for Dragon Hopper and Zero Racers, and if so, contact these people on Planet VB(KR155E, DogP and Bigmak).
The first response I got basically said “Roms are illegal, so we cannot help you”. Very short and disappointing.
Today, I surprisingly got another letter back. It was from a different person, and it was very polite. They appreciated me enjoying their games, but unfortunately, they have no info on either of the two games. They hope that I continue to enjoy my Virtual Boy, and they gave me some free stuff (Pokemon bookmarks).
I guess Nintendo doesn’t have any info? Well, at least I am more than content with all the VB games I have. Good luck everyone! 🙂

I *mostly* used mine under the covers laying in bed at night while I was growing up. So I would be laying on a bed with the unit laying on my chest. This worked really well and I never had fatigue problems for many, many hours of Galactic Pinball and Mario Tennis. Plus the positioning for the eyes was really good.
I love this method. I always use it too. 32-bit 3D console gaming in bed? Why not? 😀
I still haven’t played 5 games that I really want(Space Squash, Insmouse, Faceball, 3D Tetris and Nester’s funky Bowling), so I give a top 5 out of the 13 I have.
In no specific order
Wario Land
Red Alarm
Galactic Pinball
Vertical Force
V-Tetris
Honorable Mentions:
Mario Tennis(great pack in)
Bound High!(one of best games on the system, but unreleased)
Vertical Force(awesome sequel to the Star Soldier PC Engine games)

I have been playing New Super Mario Bros. U lately and one level is giving me a strange Déjà-vu every time. This is what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL4SkgXWmn8 (skip to 0:50)
A few years ago I downloaded a Wonderswan emulator just to play Makaimura, or Ghosts n’ Goblins. It’s a very different game than the others in the series. The original series’ designer wasn’t involved, so the game was ok, but not good. That was a regular Wonderswan game though, not Color. I’ll stick with Gameboy, Game & Watches, and Virtual Boy for now.
