I bet it's still better on the half-dead PS3 emulator lol.

Yeah, it felt real strange to me to dedicate time on a direct to something like this. It just makes for weird tone-deaf optics.
I don't think anyone but ironic collectors with way too much money would get this, and I think they know it which is why they're making it so obnoxiously expensive to even try the games.

The weird thing with these Directs is that there can be huge demographic whiplash when going from a kiddy game, to a mature game, to something like this. It's kind of overstimulating in a way.

For some reason, I thought everyone here was gonna hype it up, but I’m glad to see everyone riffing on it.

RGT in general seems like one of the online communities where it's fair grounds to rag on every big vidya company. It's kind of refreshing to not have braindead console wars all the time.

Also people in general here seem able to separate video games from companies, which makes for better discussion on both ends, imo.

I mean, it's a nice thing to have this part of their library accessible for people who weren't there at the time or haven't sought it out via emulation, but I don't feel like it even registers as some forgotten curiosity with the majority of their audience?

Just seems like one last chance to spit on Gunpei Yokoi's grave, like Yamauchi having him killed wasn't bad enough.

They also know how BS this is which is why they don't allow people to comment on this video because it would be filled with "Baka" (idiot), "Teme" (asshole), "Kusou" (piece of shit), "Yarou" (bastard), "Konoyarou" (you son of a bitch) and "Kisama" (motherfucker) lol. Thanks for having me for Japanese 101 on how to curse!!! lolol

I was like "Oh, neat!".........until Koizumi-san mentioned that it requires an upcoming peripheral.

You're better off just emulating these games through RetroArch. At least that let's you change the color palette to something that is a bit easier on the eyes.

Somebody tell Nintendo they missed April Fool's Day by about 5 months.

 

[Bakuma1997]

Too many kids today had perfect vision i guess

 

[Rox00]

Nintendo definitely has the gall to bring back the damn Virtual Boy. Even having to buy the actual system as an accessory. Truly a pure Nintendo moment even!

 

[ThunderBoy]

80€

80€ for headaches and severe neck pain. Thanks Nintendo!

NINTENDONT EWASTE.

Nextup getgad 3ds emulator in flipcase for dual switch1/2.

 

[JG5009]

Can't wait to see this unholy thing flop a second time, it will be historic

Meanwhile the 3DS has those 40-something mid games with changeable colors and full 3D emulation that doesn't make any eyes bleed for free.

 

[Jayonnaise6105 Jayonnaise6105]

80€

I honestly thought it'd be more expensive, not that that price point is cheap or anything I guess you gotta count the NSO sub cost on top of that, too.

And Nintendo has an evil plan regarding it too!!!

The BS design of Virtual Boi intent to cause neck issues. You would think it will make Nintendo look bad but think again!!! Thus people will sue Nintendo for "it broke my neck" but Nintendo will win the lawsuits and take victims' money because "it's their problem and they used our console wrongly and on top of it they ruin our legal fair trading by making us look bad unfairly by making us lose profit illegally"!! Nintendo is so smartz!!!

lolol

You forgot "in the event we decide to stop supporting the Virtual Boy service via the Nintendo Switch Online application, you agree to destroy all software, hardware & accessories associated with said application"

 

[marky]

That's the most random Nintendo thing Nintendo could have done
It's strange that they didn't do it on the 3DS, but they're doing it on the Switch 2.

I hate that whole "pay us for the privilege to buy from us" mentality! A local game shop does that and it completely stopped me from going there

It exists because some mindless customers love to feel like VIP suckers like it's so theuropathic to be scammed and treated like shit to feel sexual pleasure only such submissive people can feel!!!

lolol
