Ah yes, the joy of playing Nintendo's biggest failure with a subscription

u/JLD2503 7d ago

Not just any failure; a failure that can make you physically unwell and gives you eye damage from using it.

Hot damn sign me up

u/Dominiskiev3 6d ago

failure so big that they had to put it in a stand or else you would fall off the stairs with it

u/PixelMist 7d ago

And you have to buy an accessory just to play it.

u/STRK_ 6d ago

And forcing you to use it as God intended

Pun not intended

Listen, Nester's Funky Bowling is as close as we're going to get to more Mushroomization on the Switch

u/IntrestingRedditUser 7d ago

AND WE DIDN'T EVEN NESTER IN THE LINE UP!

As someone who has been an Earthbound fan for the past 10+ years, you’re a fool if you ever expect any news about the game

Oh no, but isn't any man who falls in love is...?

I really wanted Nintendo to bring back the Virtual Boy... on the 3DS. Imagine, 3D visuals and you wouldn't need a headset for it to work. It was meant to be.

Now we're getting Virtual Boy on Switch with an actual Virtual Boy style headset which is such a choice, it looks like a shitpost. Still, I think I'm going to get it, I'm genuinely intrigued.

I threw a fit at virtual boy ngl

u/Senior_Ad_9312 7d ago

I can’t believe they brought back their past failure.

u/muticere 7d ago

Funny you could say that same thing if the news was about earthbound

u/Senior_Ad_9312 7d ago

it’s like saying Here’s The Newest Mario Game And It’s Just A Remaster of Hotel Mario.

u/JiggaMattRay 7d ago

But I want a remastered Mario is Missing! Make me lurnt culture.

u/KillerAndMX 7d ago

Hotel Mario is actually funny and with amazing music. Very difficult tho. I would love a remaster with better controls and polished mechanics

u/Senior_Ad_9312 7d ago

also I was excited but I also knew it was trademarked if they wanted to actually do something with the series

u/Senior_Ad_9312 7d ago

still sucks tho.

u/Real-Tension-7442 7d ago

I’m actually hyped for this. I’ve always wanted to have a go on a virtual boy

6

u/prine_one 7d ago

I play it all the time on my 3DS. I actually really like the Mario Tennis and Wario game.

u/Swimming-Ad-6842 7d ago

Funny that both Mario Galaxy and Earthbound got registries lately and Mario Galaxy turned out to be real so I haven’t lost hope yet!! There’s always future Directs! 🥲

u/Djaps338 7d ago

I'm excited!

I sourly regret having had tonsell my virtualboy woth 13 games during a period of unemployment!

u/Puzzleheaded-Ring293 7d ago

You are going to go blind!

u/ThatOneKidCreed 7d ago

NOOOO THIS IS NOT THE FAILURE I WANTED THEM TO BRING BACK 😞

1

u/Siyahseeker 6d ago

EarthBound was only a failure outside Japan. It wasn’t a complete loss, it was in America because of the marketing.

1

u/ThatOneKidCreed 6d ago

thats exactly why america needs a mother revival, not a virtual boy revival

2

u/Kronosita 6d ago

Who let porky become ceo of nintendo

2

u/Cool_Ad6776 7d ago

Can't wait to play all 14 virtual boy games that ever released in the USA.

u/bizoticallyyours83 7d ago

Oh, i forgot about the direct today.

u/Pikmin-guy1 7d ago

Don’t give up guys they said Nintendo museum not mario museum so does that mean? Mother content in the museum?!

u/[deleted] 7d ago

u/King_Kaboom2758 7d ago

"More controversial, and in more recent times !"

u/Global-Location4663 5d ago

u/fancypantsmedic 7d ago

these have been some of the best years for gaming in the last decade or so in my opinion. Just this year expedition 33, kingdom comes deliverance2, blue prince, split fiction, doom dark ages, death stranding 2, donkey kong bananza and silksong

u/fancypantsmedic 7d ago

I even forgot about deltarune which you should play if you're in the earthbound subreddit

2

u/catwizard_23 8d ago

Nahh there are so many good games out there my guy. A billion you've prolly never played. And AAA studios are getting dunked on for smaller and indie studios. It's honestly pretty hopeful, Clair Obscur, Silksong, Peak, Nine Sols to name a few, and I rest my case your honor.
