minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish17•7 months agoIf you’ve got a modded 3ds, Red Viper works extremely well to emulate Virtual Boy games, if you’re curious about them. Arguably it’s a better experience than playing them on a Virtual Boy.

minus-square@[email protected]OPlinkfedilinkEnglish3•7 months agoBut are there any games worth playing?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish8•7 months agoThe Wario game is pretty good if you liked the original Game Boy Wario games. Mario Clash is a fun take on the original Mario Bros game which didn’t need to be 3D, so I’m a little disappointed they haven’t revisited it. Jack Bros. is notable for being Atlus’ first release in the West, and I remember having some fun with that one. Mario Tennis was also pretty good, but there are probably better Mario Tennis games by now. How many consoles can say that ~28% of their library is worth checking out? Haha
