The Virtual Boy ended up being the one Nintendo handheld that never caught on due to a number of factors. A shame in a way, due to its unique properties and unexpected library prioritizing early 3D effects. The Switch and Switch 2 Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack return of the Virtual Boy marks an opportunity to see both its notable and unreleased titles.

We already got an idea based on early photos, but…

There are games out there that serve as a means to step away from real life for a few hours and enjoy existing in a pleasant space, and the Animal Crossing-like Cozy Caravan is exactly that. It’s a life sim with the lowest possible stakes and cutest possible appearances. There’s no possible way to fail. However, as a result of that simplicity and relaxed approach, it can get a little repetitive and feel like there’s no real thought necessary to spread kindness in a community. That, combined with Apple Arcade exclusive content, means that Cozy Caravan can be fun, but…
