List of cancelled Virtual Boy games
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of cancelled games planned for Nintendo's Virtual Boy video game console, organized alphabetically by their English title. It does not include any nameless games planned and/or produced by various companies.
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.
