OK I know I do. This thing was like the first failed counsle of nintendo but I actualy liked it. There were alot of hates for the poor system so I really didn't like that everyone hated the thing so there has to be some one who likes the thing. So tell me what are your opinions on the virtual boy?
does anyone remember the virtual boy?

No, what is that thing? I never heard of it!
But, yes, most true Nintendo fans remember the Virtual Boy.

I own one...
To be honest, after 10 or so minutes, it gets really annoying and difficult to play. After 20 minutes, I get a bad headache.
It was a failure for a reason.

It was a sad system. It got the creator fired actualy and myamoto felt bad and mad a 3ds to make him happier because he was mad when the virtual boy wasn't a success. I think it only sold 300,000-400,000 units

What are you talking about? The VB came out in 1995.It was a sad system. It got the creator fired actualy and myamoto felt bad and mad a 3ds to make him happier because he was mad when the virtual boy wasn't a success. I think it only sold 300,000-400,000 units
It was a failure because that it was an incomplete system and no one thought that it would be a pain to use.
Trust me, it's painful to use. When I let my friends play it, they all go headaches.

Yes it did come out then but the failure of the virtual boy started myamoto on the quest to perfect 3d gameing hense the 3ds. This of course was 15 years laterI own one...

Yeah sorry I worded the last comment wrong. The failure of the VB got the designer fired. This guy was a good friend of myamoto so he kinda wanted to perfect 3d gaming. They actually tried to make the GBA 3d and the same with the GCN belive it or not. It didn't work. Duh.

They should remaster some of those old VB games and put them on the E Market, that'd be pretty sweet, I here that Mario Clash and Wario land were pretty good games. And there is some boxing game that supposed to be pretty good to.
I never actually owned a virtual boy though and most of my knowledge of it comes from research on Nintendo and the AVGN.

I think a bit more than just remastering the games, they should go through a complete overhaul. Probably some updated graphics, so everything isn't red.They should remaster some of those old VB games and put them on the E Market, that'd be pretty sweet, I here that Mario Clash and Wario land were pretty good games.

Those two were pretty fun, I've played them at my friends. The only ones I own are galactic pinball and Mario Tennis.

I don't recall Nintendo ever considering the Virtual Boy to be a true console. It was more like a toy.

Nintendo is currently making a Mario Tennis game for the 3DS to make up for the virtual boy version.I think a bit more than just remastering the games, they should go through a complete overhaul. Probably some updated graphics, so everything isn't red.

I have never played one. My dad had one when I was about 2 years old, but he got rid of it 
(I wish he didn't, it would be great to have in my collection) because he said it gave him headaches. I feel bad it didn't do well, the system had a lot of poteinial. I have seen, in pictures what the games for the system looked like, Despite the limited colors the games looked pretty decent and I would probably find them enjoyable. I wish I had one so I can experience what it was like to play one.

Oh lord, this takes me back.
(Not very far.)
I remember when a virtual boy was all I had, and I played it all day.
I did not care it was old.
I loved it.

Even though I wasn't born yet to see it, I think the VB had some cool games, even though I never played it. (My favorite looks like Mario Clash.) The only Issue I read about is trouble seeing the screen, and headaches.
