I wonder why exactly Nintendo hasn't re-released the Virtual Boy games yet. The Nintendo 3DS would've been perfect for it! People like to say that it's because Nintendo would rather forget about the Virtual Boy, but I'm not sure about that. If that's true, then how come they seem alright with referencing the console in their newer games, like Super Smash Bros. Melee and Nintendo Labo? I wonder if they think they wouldn't get much attention due to lack of familiarity and the potentially off-putting color scheme, though in the latter they could just give options to use other palettes that are easier on the eyes (like some Game Boy palettes).
Someday I might have to try out the Virtual Boy; it's the only VR thing I can ever see myself playing around with. Granted, it's probably only going to happen if I see it in someone's house or if it's available for a few bucks.
Though, while stuck on Virtual Boy Land, VB Wario Land seems to have a bit of an influence. The usage of 3D and how you switch between the background and foreground has been done again in the 3DS Kirby games. There's also the upcoming Antonblast, which seems to take inspiration from this game (along with Wario Land 4). Maybe it's not much, but then again, how much influence do Wario Land 2 and 3 have on other games? Besides the multiple forms, which are also present in Wario Land 4?
(Also, do preserve that study facility please! It's cool to see Virtual Boy fans, including those who spread their love of the system and its games!)
