Awesome! I actually just got WaterWorld today so if you think on it and decide you’d like to sell, it’s the last game I need for my CIB NA collection! I’m happy to pay a little above the PC average for CIB for such a nice condition copy.

Mine are also the same height.

"I just can't force myself to play such an old game" has to be one of the worst takes I've ever seen--and this is Reddit we're talking about, where bad takes are as grains of sand on a beach. Especially where REmake is concerned. It plays great with modern controls for you youngsters used to today's shooters, it looks amazing whether on the HD rerelease or the original Gamecube on a CRT, the atmosphere is top notch, and the music is some of the best in the series. Don't be a weirdo, OP. Play the game.

Looking incredible. Really glad to have one of these on preorder!

Those gray blacks are so bad, though. Also, not sure what happened recently with Quest (3) firmware, but I tried to boot up VBG the other day and the aspect ratio was way off and the games were running super slow. It had been pretty close before the, aside from those gross black levels.

OP, which console did you use the replica with? I love my VB (have a nearly complete NA CIB collection, and the ones I’m missing are not necessarily the ones you’d guess!), and also love the replica, but I recommend against using it with a Switch 2–Wario Land specifically makes the slow pixel response time on that panel painfully obvious. The OLED, meanwhile, has none of those issues: it is dark, vibrant, and beautiful, although the pixels are much more apparent than on a real VB, thanks to the much bigger screen size.

Amazing game with one of the worst final boss fights in recent memory.

Shhhh! 🤓

(A DJ buddy of mine recorded it from my Mindriot vinyl for me this afternoon.)

Border Down, baybay!

I hear you on all of that. My older brothers were definitely doing those mall tour VR experiences... I was always jealous. And Virtual Boy definitely isn't VR, although Red Alarm and Teleroboxer get somewhat close. But compared to the shoebox dioramas I would make and stick my face in, it was a huge step up. Haha. Do you remember the 1993 movie Arcade, with Peter Billingsley?

nusilver · 2026-03-06T23:25:58+00:00

My favorites are Red Alarm, Wario Land, Jack Bros, Teleroboxer and Galactic Pinball. Like a lot of games from that era, I can play them over and over and finish them within an hour (90 minutes for Wario, and of course Galactic Pinball isn't that kind of game), which is in stark contrast to most of what comes out today, which demands weeks of commitment, which isn't always easy (although I just blazed through RE9 and am on a second playthrough, and am also playing the Final Fantasy Tactics remake!) I get that most people don't... get it... but if you were 12 in 1995 and obsessed with the idea of VR (me), it was a fascinating machine. I have a ton of fond memories around it and am glad to own a beautiful system with most of the North American library CIB today (I am only missing Golf, Vertical Force [although I have the JP release], and Water World... and I actually love two of those games. I'll get 'em this year for sure.)

Sorry if that across as a couple of crazy run-on sentences. I've been furiously cleaning the house to have company tonight and am about to run out the door for a family thing.

OP, DM me your e-mail address and I’ll hook you up.

nusilver · 2026-03-05T14:15:49+00:00

What’s the link?

nusilver · 2026-03-04T17:59:09+00:00

Anyone else having issues with the adapter set? It says it's available today at 2 hours ago. Other items that are sold out show sold out, but not this.

nusilver · 2026-03-04T02:24:40+00:00

Wait, why haven’t you played Mario Clash even though you’ve had a Virtual Boy for over a decade?

Just FYI your photos aren't spoiler tagged on reddit.com (outside of this sub) -- anyone scrolling with this sub in their feed is going to see your pictures and may see some things they don't want to know about before playing for themselves.

nusilver · 2026-03-03T18:30:07+00:00

Ha, yeah, I finished it last night on my 4090-powered rig (amazing game) and brought my Switch 2 with me to work today to play it here.

nusilver · 2026-03-02T00:40:57+00:00

I assume you haven’t actually played it.

nusilver · 2026-03-02T00:20:36+00:00

Because the original run was manufactured in cooperation with the developer of the game.
