Virtual Boy Preview
It's Red
4 February, 2026
I'm psyched to play the Virtual Boy in a week's time, and today a bunch of preview's dropped for me to dig through when I should have been working.
I'm glad to hear the plastic device is basically 1 to 1 with the original in terms of build, it's also sorta funny reading the impressions of bloggers who get paid to do their jobs - I'll call this a preview when I get my phonecall Nintendo! Like these paid writers, I'm bummed there is no dedicated controller, and it's gonna suck having a back or neck cramp, all titles should have been released at the word go and it beggars belief why the other coloured filter options aren't available from the word go.
Some previews also mention LABO!!! Which I am very thankful for~! I have two LABO kits here, but never jumped on the VR headset, if the Virtual Boy kit is comparible with LABO VR you can guarantee I will play through Breath of the Wild on it... if compatible with Switch 2, even if it isn't. I'm that much of a sicko it could happen.
I also decided blogs are a dead format, nevermind this blog right here. It's all webzines now, that's all anyone is talking about. Webzines, Webzines, Webzines. Drafts are on the front page, and maybe I'll make a proper pdf on procreate and sell you a pristine copy... or just host it here for free?
Also out today, and to my interests is Balloon Kid and Yoshi, the Japanese app has Balloon Fight GB which is a 2000 colour version of Balloon Kid. Why this is not on the English language app is beyond me. Yoshi is AOK but Balloon Kid... this I've heard is good. I'll drop some impressions on another blog soon.
