This is my first Virtual Boy review in 5 years!  That's way too long.

Great review, was fun to read something I hadn't known about on the Virtual Boy. At one time I had pretty much the entire US library but I never played it so I sold it to focus on other collections. I hadn't heard about this game at all.... Doesn't sound very interesting but looks better then Water World... Do you have any other VB games coming up to be reviewed as well? I know that several of them are incredibly expensive, but surely there are a couple other ones.

Wasn't there a Space Invaders VB title in Japan?

Nice, I had been looking forward to this review.  I wish the game wasn't so pricey (going for about $40-$70 on ebay) because, as a fan of fishing, fishing games, and the Virtual Boy, this is one game I'd really like to try out.  But I guess I'm glad you only gave it a D.. makes me feel better about missing out on it.

Fun review! BTW if I'm reading the VB retail game list right, this is what's left to review:

3D Tetris
Innsmouth no Yakata (JPN)
SD Gundam Dimension War (JPN)
Space Invaders: Virtual Collection (JPN)
Space Squash (JPN)
Virtual Bowling (JPN)
Virtual Lab (JPN)

So other than homebrews and prototype releases (e.g. Bound High), there's 1 US release left, and 6 Japanese exclusives.

I looked around online and Innsmouth no Yakata actually looks pretty interesting and I think it is completely in english. Definitely interesting being the only survival horror game on the VB. Might be worth checking out.
