From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a complete list of games for Nintendo's Virtual Boy video game console, organized alphabetically by their English title. For demonstrational software there's a list of Virtual Boy demos.

The Virtual Boy was released on July 21, 1995 in Japan and on August 14, 1995 in North America. Its launch titles were: Galactic Pinball, Mario's Tennis, Panic Bomber (Japan only), Red Alarm, and Teleroboxer.

[edit] Cancelled games

Due to the unexpected failure of the system, the Virtual Boy has a higher than normal number of games cancelled in mid-production. Some cancelled games were close to completion, but the cost of production for a failed system would have resulted in a net loss, while others were cancelled early in development. Below is a list of all known games that were cancelled. It does not include the many nameless games planned and/or in production by various companies. Of these unreleased games, prototype (or early build/uncompleted) versions have surfaced. Most Notably is the game Faceball 2000, which has surfaced in the form of a prototype cartridge.
