Speaking of the Virtual Boy, what was the general reception to it before it came out? Was anybody actually hyped for it before it was released?

~BACK IN DA DAY~ when I was a young whipper snipper in the wee old land of Aus, I recall very little hype surrounding the launch and very little in the way of advertisements to get the kids interested.

Seem to remember it being impossible to find instores as I wanted to demo it and see what all this VIRTUAL REALITY was all about

Because it's a place device people are allowed to mark up that people haven't had a complete poo poo fit over yet.

We're returning to the glory days of carts :swoon:

I hope they sell like 500Gb carts you can plug into your pc and download games from the eshop onto.
That'd sort out the flash storage problem

Virtual boy never seemed to be the next console. It was a weird side attraction. Nobody wanted to get it to replace there snes. Nobody wanted to get it from what I recall. Did nobody care because nobody had one? maybe but kids talked about Jaguar (lol) and wishing they had one when nobody did. My brothers orthodontist had it so I would go too and play it while he gone metal tighten in his dumb face.

So I have some nostalgia for it. But it came out 1 year before n64 so they already had the next console in the chamber, even Nintendo didn't care about it.

The Switch would be perfect for certain games because I could take my Switch to a friend's house, pop off the JoyCons and bam, both of us can play Zombies At My Neighbors with a single device. I honestly hope the Switch is cracked wide open fast just for poo poo like this.
