Unreleased Games Grab Bag

We thought we were done! But Nintendo had to go and announce two more Virtual Boy games coming 30 years late. We'll be back to play those later this year, but for now join us as we clean up some loose ends and bid farewell (for now). Thank you all for listening!

Teleroboxer and V-Tetris

Three more episodes to the end of our journey, we encounter a pretty basic Tetris port and a strange curio in Nintendo's history of boxing games. What would Edward Maki Jr. think of Arms? And where exactly did the tradition of beating up on the developers' names during the credits come from? You can find past episodes at https://virtualboy.blog/ [https://virtualboy.blog/].
