Three screenshots from Nintendo's unreleased Virtual Boy game, tentatively called 'VB Mario Land,' have emerged on The Internet Archive. Discovered by a user on Bluesky, these images were distributed to the press back in 1995 when the game was first exhibited at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show. While visitors saw a demo, no one could actually play the game. The title featured a mix of sidescrolling and top-down gameplay reminiscent of later titles. The game's cancellation is often linked to the Virtual Boy's commercial failure, marking it as a unique exclusion from Nintendo's Mario franchise.
Three recently found screenshots of an unreleased Mario game for the Virtual Boy provide a glimpse into an abandoned chapter of Nintendo history.
The discovery of images from the 1995 'VB Mario Land' gives fans a rare look at Nintendo's never-released title developed for the Virtual Boy.
Nintendo exhibited 'VB Mario Land' at the 1995 Winter Consumer Electronics Show, allowing attendees to see a demo without actually playing.
It remains uncertain why 'VB Mario Land' was never released, though the Virtual Boy's immediate failure likely contributed to its cancellation.
