Yeah, the game that will come with the system, Mario Tennis or Virtual
Tennis (one of those). I'm pretty sure Mario Clash will be 2 player
also.

I was wondering about 2 player games myself, and looking at the August
Issue of Nintendo Power, where they reviewed the first few games for it,
I don't see any. That includes Mario's Tennis and Mario Clash. In fact I
haven't seen anything anywhere that indicates that the VB has 2-player
capability. I'm sure it does, but I'd like some confimation from
somewhere. Can anyone else shed some light on this?

Yeah, it can be two player. There is a little "Ext" port on the
bottom of the unit for the wire link that "will come later". I pointed
out to the Nintend VB hotline folks that nowhere on the box does it mention
that the VB is linkable...

Of course, I don't think Tennis says it's linkable anyway -- if it
is I missed it in the instructions -- though it would be the perfect game
for it...

I can only rent three games, which ones? Is it available for rent yet

Makes you feel old, doesn't it?

Could be worse, I remember getting my Atari in 1978.
