Did we learn anything from Google Glass? It looked really cool when it debuted, but quickly we realized that constantly wearing a camera on your head can be a bad idea. Even from the start, many of us knew that only the most devoted cyber-connected consumers would actually use the device. Yet the tech industry continues to buzz about new sets of head-mounted virtual reality (VR). Games might sustain investments in these new peripherals, just like we saw for Wii and Kinect, but we havent seen any other examples where wearing a headset is clearly worth the bother. Facebooks acquisition of Oculus is ostensibly to become a social platform in VR despite that such goggles may be perceived as somewhat anti-social in the real world. Googles investment in Magic Leap generated a fantastic video of an alien invasion of a modern office which saved the user from tedious interactions with a floating email app. Most recently, Microsoft showed a demo of Hololens, being billed as a next-genera...

But are those twists enough to stand the test of time on a Wii U Virtual Console release three full decades after the game's initial release?

No longer are we seeing tons of crowdfunding campaigns which offer VR experiences exclusively, but that mini drought is over with Faceted Flight. Sure, there's a hefty amount of flight sim-esque games which also offer VR support, but those tend to focus on far more realistic sorts of flying. This game, on the other hand, takes it inspiration from easy to pick up titles such as Star Fox and Pilotwings."
