Gameplay
Teleroboxer is set in the 22nd century, when new types of robots called "Telerobotics" were created by humans. These robots can perfectly imitate the movements of humans and have been controlled and designed by them in order to perform tasks that are not normally achievable by humans. By creating a tournament that pits two of these robots against each other in a sport called teleroboxing, Doctor Edward Maki Jr. has found a way to spark interest in telerobotics.
Teleroboxing became very popular all over the world after its conception with everyone believing to be the best. This resulted in the creation of a teleroboxing world championship.
Development
Teleroboxer was originally known as Teleroboxing, and was displayed at the 1994 Consumer Electronics Show. Like all other Virtual Boy games, Teleroboxer uses a red-and-black color scheme and uses parallax, an optical trick that is used to simulate a 3D effect.
Teleroboxer was added to the Nintendo Classics service February 17, 2026. On July 31, 2026, the game's soundtrack was added to Nintendo Music.
Reception
Teleroboxer received mixed reviews. Author Steve L. Kent noted that players of it at an early show were unimpressed with it. He added that these players also complained about headaches, though adding that it made the best use of the 3D capabilities of all the Virtual Boy games shown.
It was featured on GamesRadar's list of the five best Virtual Boy games, noting that people were excited to play it when the platform launched. Chicago Tribune's David Jones also compared it to the Punch-Out!! series, noting that it has an edge due to its fun and competitive atmosphere. A retrospective feature by Australian video game talk show Good Game made a similar comparison, though noting that it was less fun.
