VIRTUAL BOY GAMES

When you go to Blockbuster to try out the Virtual Boy, you'll be able to pick from these first four titles.

Mario's Tennis	Thanks to dazzling 3-D imagery, Mario's Tennis delivers unprecedented realism in a sports game. You control your player's movement, whether to make a lob or a smash, and the direction and spin on the ball. You can charge the net or stay back, waiting for your opponent to make a mistake. The manual that accompanies the game is full of tips and tactics. You'll need them, because strategy is all-important on this court. Select your player from seven all-star characters. Can Mario keep up with Donkey Kong Jr.'s smashes? Can the fleet-footed Yoshi beat Koopa's brutal baseline game? To find out, grab your virtual racquet and hit the court! Mario's Tennis is included with the Virtual Boy system package.
When pinball meets outer space, it's bound to take on some weird and wild features unlike any you've seen before. The four tables in Galactic Pinball offer up all sorts of bells & whistles, with unusual , 3-D play and special, hidden bonus games. And yes, you can tilt in outer space.	Galactic Pinball
Teleroboxer	When you immerse yourself in Teleroboxer, you'll enter a world where hazardous duties are assigned to robots that mirror the movements of their human controllers. The technology, known as telerobotics, isn't used for work alone. In an effort to bring telerobotics more widespread appeal, scientists have organized a worldwide, robotic boxing tournament. The new sport, dubbed teleroboxing, has become a huge sporting sensation. See what it's all about—seize your Virtual Boy controller and enter the ring of the future.
Mario Clash debuts on Virtual Boy this September. That's when players will get their first shock. Clash may look like the original Mario Bros. arcade game, but it plays like a frantic round of bombardment. Every stage features an army of koopas and other foes marching relentlessly across platforms and through pipes. Mario's mission is to knock them off--from the front, back, or side. You have to think and act in three dimensions. It's a little bit like life itself.	Mario Clash

Nintendo isn't the only game company developing exceptional software for the Virtual Boy system. Third party publishers in Japan and the United States have been burning the midnight oil to bring you more in-your-face games. For most of these games, these are the first photos ever shown. As always, look to Nintendo Power to review the games once they're complete.

Kemco
Virtual League Baseball
Kemco's Virtual League Baseball recreates the nation's favorite pastime in 3-D. While batting or pitching you'll find the perspective moves in close behind home plate. Once the ball is hit, the perspective pans back to a wide angle view so you can see and maneuver your outfielders. VLB should be ready for release sometime in October. The Japanese version is shown here. The U.S. version may have modified characters.

Hudson Soft's 3-D puzzle game may take a page from the Tetris book of game design, but it draws players into a new visual experience with three dimensional objects. Although easy to learn, Panic Bomber is difficult to leave. Hudson Soft

Atlus
Jack Bros.
Jack Bros. (formerly known as Devil Busters) is a maze-oriented action game from Atlus. The three brothers—Jack O'Lantern, Jack Frost, and Jack Skelton—must race the clock to reach their homes before the stroke of midnight. Standing in their way are traps, enemies and mazes. Each of the six scenarios in the game may have up to 15 stages.

Hudson's second Virtual Boy game falls into the space shooter genre. The Vertical Force space ship flies vertically through stages filled with enemies. A second level of action takes place below the main level, so in effect you have to be aware of two planes of action at one time. Hudson Soft

Ocean
Waterworld
Ocean designed Waterworld for an arcade experience. The action begins immediately as you pilot a trimaran ship in a sea infested with evil jet skiers. A new game engine yields awesome speeds and 3-D graphics. As you progress, more jet skiers race into the picture and try to steal the helpless Atollers whom you must protect.
