Because it's so awesome, it deserves it's own topic.

Have you ever owned a Virtual Boy? For those of you that may not know (Yanimae? >.>) it's a failed system made by Nintendo. It looks like this:

It's basically virtual reality, and it even has 3D view! It was short-lived, and considered by many to be a horrible gaming system, but I loved it. But sadly, mine was put to rest a long time ago :cry:

.

I had three games:

Mario Tennis (Fun, but I could never beat it back then)
Galactic Pinball (Probably the best game for it. I played it to bits)
Red Alarm (I barely remember this one O_o)

...Discussion!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I personally have never even seen one in person, so I can't make any criticism or praise.

Though, with today's tech, they could definitely do a better job with it.

You're right, I DON'T KNOW IT.

But Nintendo should totally bring this idea into revival. Imagine the wonders they could do with it now!

Yeah, sorry about that. It's just kind of a thing now (since like 20 minutes ago?) that you know nothing about video games

But really. From what I heard, that thing was nauseating.

It got even funnier when they stopped making sense.

The nauseating sounds like a sucky downside. Blah Unbalanced, did you have problems like that?

I never got sick/blurry-eyed from playing it, actually.

My cousins had one, they had EVERY console cause their dad is freakin rich. I played Mario Tennis, it was awesome.

This was #3 in gamespot's top ten biggest console disappointments, it disappointed me.

I researched it for part of my public speaking class assignment for an informative speech on video game systems etc.

But I've never seen one...

Heard it makes your eyes bleed if you play it too long or something though. o.o

The Angry Video Game Nerd reviewed it and it's collection of 14 US games!*

Wario Land was really it's only good one. That was a great game though!

*Wait, no, he reviewed 13, as there was one that was just ridiculously hard to find.

It doesn't look healthy.

Bad for posture?

Page projection.
