The Virtual Boy was a system by Nintendo back in 1995-96. It revolutionized the gaming industry by introducing 3D virtual reality in a stunning two colors! I am sure everyone here owns one, or did at some point, so what is your favorite game on it?

I can't stop laughing right now.
I've never owned a Virtual Boy, and I don't really plan on owning one ever. I heard it was the worst thing ever and is a stain on Nintendo's reputation.
I heard they are going to put Virtual Boy games in the 3DS eShop though... I'm slightly interested.

The Virtual Boy is one of, if not THE, greatest video game consoles in the gaming industry's history.
yeah im gonna have to assume wario land is the best game for it
I actually do own a Virtual Boy. I got it very shortly after it initially launched, and I played it a lot. I can tell you a fewthings:
It is not actually as uncomfortable on the eyes as it was claimed: the 3DS is in fact far more uncomfortable, and I have weak eye muscles to begin with (those muscles being stressed is the reason people ever get these kind of headaches). The real issue with comfort was the awkward position you had to be in to use it. It could be painful and it was hard to find a suitable place to use it.
It was an absolute battery hog, barely lasting more than six hours, at best. And it took four AA batteries to power the thing. And, contrary to what several people, who have never so much as touched a Virtual Boy, have claimed, it did NOT come with an AC adapter. Such a thing existed, but it was sold separately. Without the adapter, it's really impractical to play the system with anything other than rechargable batteries. Though they'd probably be drained long before another set of four batteries can be fully recharged.
The system died before that many games were out and therefore Wario Land was the ONLY game of note on the system. It really was a good game in its own right and it'd play very well on modern handhelds if they ever ported it. I personally preferred it over other Wario Land games.
