Review Mario Clash (Virtual Boy)
Is this overlooked title worthy of a second chance?
Many reasons have been given for why the Virtual Boy failed so badly when it was released in the mid '90s. One of the more convincing arguments is that the lack of a 'proper' Mario game meant that hardcore Nintendo fans ignored the console; while it's hard to accept that this is the only reason, it...

Every Virtual Boy game ranked by you
Nintendo is an odd company in many ways; deeply appealing and safe in some respects, but also able to swing for the fences and invest money and resources in the pursuit of pure novelty.

Talking Point If Nintendo Released Them, Would You Play Virtual Boy Games Today?

Best Mario game ever,
Everything looks so seedy under red light!
