Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy Launch Line Up

For those who don’t want to watch the weeks-old video, your launch line up for Tuesday’s upcoming Virtual Boy debut on Nintendo Classics include Galactic Pinball, Teleroboxer, Red Alarm, Virtual Boy Wario Land, 3-D TETRIS, Golf, and the originally import-only release, The Mansion of Innsmouth…

Seems like a reasonable line-up of Virtual Boy titles… though ironic that the only one of these that pique my interest is the side-scrolling Wario Land game. Would be nice to play these without having to buy a piece of plastic (or even cardboard) that’s going to take up space and collect dust more than anything, so until that happens… I’ve got other stuff to keep me busy.

Review #1282 – Breakers Collection (Switch)

One of the early 2025 leftovers that somehow got lost in the shuffle, but much like Breakers itself, it’s better late than never. No gripes about the timing of this stuff… though plenty of gripes about everything else.

Expect more of this stuff down the road.

JAWLS! The NES Game On Digital Storefronts NOW!

Happy Friday The 13th, everyone! To celebrate the occasion, those snake oil merchants at Limited Run are re-releasing the NES adaptation of… Jaws… yes, they’re bringing back JAWS… or JAWLS if you want to go by the Chris Bores enunciation.

I reviewed the NES original (weird to type that out) back in 2013. I’ve embedded the video here for the sake of convenience. Should hold you over until the next review pops up later today.

Of course, this conveniently comes along as Limited Run announced that they were delisting their Jurassic Park Collection from digital storefronts at the end of March. Game preservation my ass.

Spider-Noir… Coming Soon.

I know nothing about the Spider-Man Noir that this is based on… but you know what, I’m intrigued by this. And I like the fact that you can either watch it in color or in black and white… the latter as your wormhole aliens intended, I’m sure.

Spider-Noir premieres on MGM+ May 25th, with Prime Video getting it a couple days later. Genuinely looking forward to this one.

WCW Monday Nitro (Feb. 12th, 1996) – Mrs. Borland’s Favorite Nitro

“Did you tell them my mother was weight-challenged?”
“No, I just told them what to write.”

The Karate Kid Returns

Long story short – if you like weight-challenged wrestlers, this is the Nitro for you. Otherwise, see you next week.

Review #1281 – Super Valis IV (Super NES)

Imagine calling yourself Super and not quite living up to the moniker. That’s Super Valis IV in a nutshell… but is it a genuinely bad game or is it just a matter of tarnished reputations? A good question that this video does not answer, but it does bring this journey through the Valis series to a close.

Hey, you know what? I thoroughly enjoyed the trip through that series and was happy to explore most of the nook and crannies of that series. Maybe some day, I’ll stomach up the effort to go through the Valis computer games and turn those into videos, but that’s for much later down the road when I feel like doing MSX videos again.

No, I Did Not Watch The Super Bowl

I never watch the Super Bowl. I’m not a football fan. Never cared for football unless it was Tecmo Bowl back in the 90s and that was a brief sling before moving on and never looking back. The only reason I would consider watch would be for the commercials, but once I’ve learned that Canadian broadcasting rights and laws and whatnots prevent us from watching the commercials people actually want to watch, what was even the point?

Truth be told, Sunday was a pretty bad day for me as a whole. Wasn’t feeling all that great in the morning and then I fell asleep around six-ish, only to wake up at one in the morning… which is depressing. I did a couple quick things late at night before heading back to bed for a couple more hours before getting on with my day.

For what it’s worth, I’m feeling fine. I haven’t been feeling that much pain as of late, which is nice. I’ve gained a couple pounds, which is not so nice. Other than that… eh, I guess it could have been worse. But I’d like it to be actually better for once. Would be nice.
