Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

I can't believe they acknowledged the Virtual Boy ever existed. Why they never ported the games to 3DS is mind boggling.

[–] atocci@kbin.social 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't worry, they still haven't acknowledged it! This is IGN's video!

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Oh shit! That makes more sense then. Thanks

The homebrew community has ported the games to 3DS with an emulator.

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, it's called Red Viper and it's great! I'm just surprised Nintendo didn't do it themselves.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah the fact that this already exists and it is pretty much perfect just makes me think that it is a lame move from Nintendo, even if it was meant to be a joke lol.

There's also an emulator for the oculus quest, the moment you launch a game you understand why it wasn't that successful and why VR was abandoned for a while.

Monochrome games are all good and fun when the screen is not a few cm from your eyes and that's the only color you can see hahahah

Obviously. Even for April fools I'm surprised they acknowledged the Virtual Boy ever existed.

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Luigis Mansion 3 has a pretty overt acknowledgement of the Virtual Boys existance. The entire in game menu is in one.

I'll admit I showed my wife before realizing what date it is

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought Virtual Boy Pro was what Ben Shapiro's famously dry wife called him until he paid her to stop?

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stop putting the onus of wetness on the poor woman. She's dry when she's with him, but you can't blame her for that, the man is a human silica packet

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You're right and I'm sorry for any confusion as I very much intended to blame the human silica packet for his sexual ineptitude and general repulsiveness lol

[–] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In case anyone actually wants one, that headset is real because Mario Odyssey has a VR mode.

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, what? How do we even know it has a VR mode if no Nintendo hardware exists that renders anything but the Labo kit in VR?

[–] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The VR mode was added to work with the Labo kit. But these headsets also exist now… because…? I don’t think the Labo was head-mounted, but maybe I’m wrong because I never had Labo.
