Mario's Tennis - The original pack in game for the Nintendo Virtual Boy

I'm so glad I grew up in the 80's and 90's... What an exciting time for video games and video game systems! When the Virtual Boy first came out I was a freshman in high school. I remember seeing one for the first time at Wal*Mart. I didn't actually get my hands on one until my first part time job which at that point they were selling at close out for around $30 ~ $40! Man, if I could go back in time I'd buy up a bunch of them because who knew that they'd be such collectors items today! ^_^

Mario's Tennis was the pack in game for the Virtual Boy. It didn't come in a box and I don't recall any Virtual Boy's ever being sold as "CORE" systems. I'm guessing that if it had survived for more than a year there would have been some "CORE" systems sold because they were already selling Mario's Tennis (IN A BOX) along side the Virtual Boy...WHICH ALREADY INCLUDED MARIO'S TENNIS!

Anyways, Mario's Tennis does show off some of the great features of the Virtual Boy. The opening sequence still looks impressive today! The 3D depth of the tennis field during game play also looks great. I really wish this system had survived for longer than it did, but C'est la vie...

Time for Nintendo to release this game (and all other Virtual Boy games) onto the 3DS so we can experience them all over again! (without the help of buggy emulators) :P ;^)Read full review
