Forums - Website Topics - Why do we STILL not have Virtual Boy listed in the game database?

Yes, the system sold very little (a total of 770,000 systems ever), and there were VERY few games released (22 total: 19 in Japan, 14 in America).

But it made a significant impact nonetheless. Mario's Tennis, one of the earliest Mario sports titles, was a VB game. Wario Land, Mario Clash, and Teleroboxer each are also wonderful, important games in the Nintendo gaming saga as well.

Not to mention Virtual Boy is enormously legendary as a peculiar combination of failure, creativity, fantastic gaming, innovation, and poor design - all wrapped up in one package.

 

Yet it's not represented in our game database.

This is a problem that needs to be remedied.

I think the sega 32x is more relevant... But that doesn't mean they'll add it to the DB just yet.
They are trying to fill out what they already have.

I know, I'm dying to add my VB games to my collection!!!!111

I think they're holding off on the database updates until VGC 2.0 rolls out.

I've got the awesome tennis game, and some really bad golf game. I think I might have Wario too. I gotta find 'em when it gets added to the database.

(1) 32x games are technically just Genesis/Megadrive titles, and therefore should be reflected in the database as such.

(2) "Filling it out" is something you and I can do, so that's a null point too. If you see a game that needs to be in the database, submit it and once they determine it belongs, they'll okay it and it'll be in the system. Then you can edit in any changes to it yourself, including any detail on your own. They don't need to do any of that. However, adding new consoles is one thing us regular users CANNOT do.

It is the one thing that db admins can't do either

 




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Haha seriously? Dang.

Well, whoever CAN, would you please get it into the system? I asked like a year and a half ago, and nothing happened, so I asked again about a year ago, and still nothing happened. Even though I'd been promised that it'd happen soon.

It's been too long.

^I believe TalonMan and ioi are able to.... or at least, if anyone else is able to they are unlikely to do it and would just pass you on to TM or ioi.

Even so, it is probably a VGC 2.0 thing.

more like brushed to the side due to 2.0 thing.

I'll get them to add it eventually, but it has never been a priority.

The Virtual Boy should be everybody's main priority.

Screw this, I'm leaving and starting VBChartz.
