Welcome back Virtual boy! The new shell is very similar! Just lighter and the dials donโ€™t move.

If anyone wants to know about the games, I did a video ranking all of them a few weeks ago!

i've only tried it with my oled switch and it's a bit gritty, the resolution just isn't there but i'm willing to deal with it for wario land, for now.

I gave myself a moment to try out the virtual boy stuff on switch.

I have never touched these games before, not even emulation, but wario land is the best stand out title from the batch so far! I knew it has depth but had no idea the sprites themselves have layers too, it's so cool.

Ah yes the team that had bugs in the arcade emulation for the physical release of cowabunga collection, and the same people that did not announce not every game was in the mk collection physical until it was on sale.

I hope it's just them being overworked and not the standard.

I have owned pc monitors for several years, still work great.
The one time I buy new monitors because it's nicer to work on them they start failing after 18 months of normal use.
Modern day quality is shockingly poor from these big brands.

I've done so much late night desk work lately that last night I slept for nearly 10 hours and my back feels like someone smacked it with a metal pole and then threw me off a cliff for good measure.

What is the point of having a report system on ebay when reporting an obviously fake sd card seller (1tb sd card for ยฃ11.99 I think not) just results in 'we see no issue' from ebay.

Doubt they even looked at it with a pair of human eyes.

If the game you're making is conceptually similar to another game you like, that shouldn't really stop you.

It stopped me for years. I never finished the game I really wanted to make 6 years ago because of it, and that sucked.

I've since seen very similar games to mine that are wildly successful

The 98% release of Resident Evil GBC is amazing, it can be a bit rough in places but it shows just how well the RE classic formula can work on lower end hardware.
That last few percent could push it into good to great territory for being a top end gbc title.

With console and computer prices shooting up because of all the stuff going on with ram/chip costs we would be best hoping devs and publishers support more platforms that are already out there instead of building new games and engines for the latest tech.
most old pc's can still game plenty.

I enjoyed the first two games a lot as a kid, rented them often, never beat them but i'd try a dozen times! the first world of bubsy 1 still has tons of charm in it.

Deadmen are more like ghosts, but they tend to incorporate some skeletal remains as they form.

I hope to be able to do more covers in 2026, it's always such a fun experience that's so different every time! I'm working on a cover right now that I'm super excited about and I can't wait to show it off in the hopefully not too distant future :>
