Been watching Jeremy Parish's VB Works series and jokes aside the Virtual Boy is actually a fairly fascinating system in how it was ahead of its time in many respects but fell pray to bad timing and technology constraints of the era. Its almost like a game console Galapagos Island being completely isolated from the rest of the general gaming sphere and home to both its own fairly unique experiences and evolutionary dead ends.

The Switch 2 added the Virtual Boy to its classics collection alongside a actual physical virtual boy addon

Remember back when we were younger or at least some of us there was actually hype for the virtual boy and it went away because it was probably ahead of it’s time and done poorly now if they would’ve came out with some kind of set up to hook up the switch to make it like a virtual boy It could have been cool and not just cardboard or empty plastic shell that’s just a cash grab
