949 - 09/14/25 Bobby Blackwolf Show - Virtual Boy Returns, Nintendo Gets Pokemon Patents
Update: 2025-09-28
Description
The Virtual Boy is making a comeback on Nintendo Switch Online - but you'll have to buy an expensive piece of plastic or cardboard to use it.
A devkit and prototype game collection was seized by UK police, and preservationists are fighting to get it back. (There's more to this story that came to light after recording this episode.)
Nintendo has been awarded new patents on gameplay revolving around Pokemon battles - but could be used for more general things like summons in JRPG's.
Then we talk to Rob about Donkey Kong: Bananza.
