| A Modder Brings Multiplayer to the Virtual Boy, Nintendo's Most Anti-Social Console
|
| Tennis is a game designed for two players, but the Virtual Boy, Nintendo's much maligned stereoscopic system, was a solo experience. From the Nintendo Entertainment System to the Switch, every other Nintendo console supported two-player modes, but the Virtual Boy, an isolating gadget that you stuck your face into like a virtual reality headset, never got a multiplayer mode, despite Mario Tennis being one of its few notable games. That is until last week, when a modder released a two-player patch for Mario Tennis. With the patch and two Virtual Boys with two copies of the game connected via a standard Category 5 cable, a two-player mode for the system is finally here. As mentioned on the Planet Virtual Boy forums, the multiplayer patch allows for head-to-head competition in singles and doubles matches.

Finally, Fallout 4 will be available on the Vive on December 12th. With these releases, Bethesda is one of a small number of major game publishers to support VR with adapted versions of its biggest games.

| The Nintendo Switch version of Rocket League will have Mario and Metroid cars
|
 Rocket League is coming to the Nintendo Switch a lot later than other platforms, but at least the cars-meets-soccer game will have some goodies when it does arrive. Today, Rocket League developer Psyonix revealed two of the Switch-exclusive vehicles that will be featured in the game, both based on iconic Nintendo properties.

They'll be available when the game launches on the Switch, which is expected this holiday season.
