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.

From my understanding, for all intents and purposes – or at least until Capcom decides otherwise – this is the 12th mainline entry in the Classic Mega Man series, but rather than going with a numbered title, they settled on Dual Override. Could this mean something more than just another entry in the series? I don’t know and frankly, I don’t give a damn. I’m just happy to see that we get to celebrate the ol’ Rockman’s 40th anniversary with the release of a new game rather than the announcement of a new game or (as is usually the case with these Mega Man anniversaries in recent decades) fuck all.

While this may disappoint some fans who would prefer a Mega Man X9 (for some reason) or a Mega Man Legends 3 (to finish the story or something), I’ll take what I can get if it’s a genuine new game and not some gatcha mobile thing or another legacy collection of a subseries that doesn’t interest me. My tastes are Mega Specific, man.

Glory be the heavens! Never thought I’d see the day that Intellivision would come through and finally release their new video game console… except it’s just like their old video game console. Where’s the white exterior? Where’re the updated graphics? Where are the new games like Finnegan Fox or Dynablaster? Where’s CORNHOLE?

Wait… what’s that? This isn’t Amicovision? This is ATARI’s version of an Intellivision console? The one with 45 built-in games and wireless controllers? Wait… what do you mean Atari OWNS Intellivision now? What about Mattel? Who owns them?

In case anyone isn’t aware, yes, they made a Bubsy collection of all those old games that you hated back in the day.

And before anyone else asks – because at least one person did – yes, I did get the collection. I have no problem buying the Bubsy collection because I’m genuinely curious about these Bubsy games that I’ve only played a couple of. And no, I’m not particularly baffled by this. Bubsy may not have been a beloved mascot, but he has a following of sorts… enough that they did put out a couple new games over the past few years with another on the way.

Hell, there’s a compilation of games based on old Nick stuff like Guts or Rocko’s Modern Life. I don’t recall those games being fondly remembered classics, but there you go. They’re being brought back.

It’s like I said before… if they’ll bring back Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties, then they’ll bring back anything.

Whatever the case, expect some Bubsy content in 2026… as soon as I get the Valis stuff out of the way, which will also be in 2026… maybe.

I just want to get this year’s output out of the way first.

So they recently announced the Nickelodeon Splat Pack, which includes GUTS as one of the games being released. The very first thing that came to mind upon hearing that was this video by former Youtuber ericmansuper. Now people can find out for themselves whether this game still sucks. Whether that’s a good thing or not is another story entirely.

I miss that guy. Hope he’s doing well nowadays.
