Forums - Nintendo - I think some Virtual Boy games should be remade for the 3DS.

Stop saying blasphemy,LordTheNightKnight. Virtual Boy should be brainwashed from anyone who knows of its existence.

Just because it failed doesn't mean it's suck incarnate. Besides, you are putting down Gunpei Yukoi with your words.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Sorry, it was supposed to be a joke. Well, it's the dark side of Nintendo history and although Yokoi was a genius, all his career was finished with that thing. Sometimes, one single mistake can dirt all the good things you've done in the past. Too bad for him, I really wished he could spend more time in Nintendo (who knows if he would have that accident while still in the company?), but Virtual Boy destroyed his career.

And, perhaps, with VB's failure, Nintendo learned how to do things the right way.

Sorry for the bad-taste joke again.

There are some articles stating he was already planning to retire from Nintendo, so the VB was just an unfortunate last act before he founded his own company (that made the Wonderswan).

i agree with you , Wario and a lot of VB games were good from what i heard.

I remember my cousin imported a VB as they were never released in Europe, I've played Mario tennis and didn't suffer any of the 'head problems'.

I really want to play Wario Land, so I hope that could make it to the 3DS' 'Virtual handheld'

I wouldn't mind having Virtual Boy games on the 3DS. I played the Virtual Boy at a store a long time ago. I was always interested in playing the other Virtual Boy games, such as Wario Land, so this would certainly be a good idea to have on the 3DS. Either as a "Virtual Handheld" download, or a remake.

No. It's bad karma letting anything with a connection to the VB touch the 3DS.

 

Edit:

And I think there are far better games to remake for the 3DS.


That's a false dichotomy, as in assuming that you remake one or the other. Even if you don't like the VB games, the logic of that particular comment is off.

I don't believe it's entirely false. Nintendo only has limited resources, they can only remake or make so many games.

Fair enough, but as I mentioned, these wouldn't have to be full remakes, just adding color to the graphics. So it wouldn't be much more work than say porting an SNES game to the 3DS.

Yes, they should do it via VC releases on 3DS (800 points each) and allow monochrome color selection (like GBC did for old GB games).  They could even put out unreleased (and in many cases, finished) games like Dragon Hopper and Zero Racers.
