  • Okay...The reason why SO many people hated this system was not because it sucked in 3D, the no link cable for 2P, you can't see where your going, OR the price. It was because some people who played the virtual boy for too long per say...For about 2 months would get a very serious disorder in there vision. They would either: 1. Go blind. Or 2. Only see everything in black and red. Even the people at that time said: They would be dead, then go red.

  • @Thesquirrelguy45 I played the Virtual Boy back then and that never happened to me...

  • its so awesome that they got a porn actor to d othe voiceover XD

  • Virtual boy was so "advanced" it sucked balls and no one liked it...

  • @davidaleman777 Thats not true, people just didnt buy it because of the high price, most of the games are actually pretty good.

  • and now theres the 3ds lol

  • So epic!

  • @marcelocarvalhodutra

    No, what I mean is that the virtual boy sucked so bad that the link cable was never released. :P

  • "...or play 2-player on virtual boy..."

    Hmmm... With what?! I'm not seeing any link cables...

  • @simmzs259 Yes, to play on 2-players mode you will need a link cable like on Game Boy. There is a port above the cosole to conect this cable, but I never see this cable.

  • oh, wow

  • Jeez the voice is almost hypnotic.

  • Rest in Peace Gunpei Yokoi... For everyone who´s now asking.. Why?!

    Just type in on Wikipedia...

  • what's written? i cant see cuz im partially blind from playing virtual boy... and i heard it gave people cancer

  • nah

  • I got this for my birthday when I was a kid I hated it but kept it and sold it on eBay last year for 500 bucks good thing I kept it in a trunk for all those years

  • I don't know if I like it or hate it. I just have really weird feelings about this game.

  • to be honest I would have gotten one when it first came out, but because it was in like all red I couldn't see anything

    Virtual Boy + color blind = no fun :/

  • This Proves every 32 bit video game sucks balls donkey Balls

  • @TeamgameStar1 What the fuck are you talking about. The Gameboy Advance is a great system. That is only 32 bits.

  • @TeamgameStar1 not all 32 bit video game sucks. for instance, ps1 games.

  • HAHAHAHAHA THIS IS HORRID

  • i have actually played on this, and its fucking cool. i had alot of fun on it.

  • = = who would wanna buy this? with the suckass graphics= = no wonder I didn't even know this thing existed, who said it can't be viewed on TV? we got the 3D TV now and it got COLORS!!! not just red and black and we got 3DS too!(yeah yeah I know this thing was ? years ago but I still wanna say this)

  • videogame for noobs

  • I Remember seeing a loose virtual boy at a goodwill in tallahassee.

  • I think virtual boy would have been awesome if it was color.

  • Batteris not included.

  • Nintendo makes torture device?

    

  • Even the commercial gives me a migraine...

  • I think people have long been hating this console before AVGN. The main complaints are always how badly it bombed, how ugly the design is, and how much it hurts your eyes.

    Otherwise most of the games range from average to good.

  • i got a headache by watching this video

  • it does looks like shit

  • AVGN:''Portable!?Yeah,my ass is portable!''

  • @111random no because they either got blind playing it and hence they couldnt you tell about how rubbish it was...one colour man there were better games in colour in thoses times

  • see nintendo, 3-d makes for a shitty system...

  • @delli2011 well i love 3D and i think it makes a system awesome

  • her voice is scary

  • aretheygood systems?

  • 0:02 dodecahedron

    0:03 tetrahedron

    0:07 icosahedron

    0:08 octahedron

  • Look at the colors...there are 2 on the screen TWOOOO!!!!

  • @RanchGameReviews actually i looked it up and the commercial is right.

  • Oh my gosh! 32 BIT?! WERE ALL DOOMED!!

  • its sad how nintendo 64 beat the shit out of that thing and there both nintendo yes i know i said nintendo 64 and that thing is kinda old and also the gamecube which is 2001

  • You wouldn't even know Nintendo produced this console. The only indicator on the box is it says "Mario Tennis" in unconventional writing.

  • holy crap that was scarry

  • is it just me or does it look kinda like a grill?

  • okay how many people hating on the virtual boy have ACTUALLY played it and how many just saw the AVGN review?

  • @111random Honestly, I don't understand why the people hate this console, it was some interesting games like Mario Tennis that was born on Virtual Boy.

  • @marcelocarvalhodutra

    You don't need to taste a piece of shit to know it's bad for you.

    Most of these games were puzzle games that have no real need for the 3D gimmick. Even the 3DS is just overkill considering the terrible view angles and mediocre 3D effects.

    3D is just a shitty fad made to impress retards who have ADHD and autism. It's like jingling keys in your face to distract you from the shitty gameplay.

  • @angrymarketing5 Most of the games where not puzzle games. Mario's Tennis Golf Teleroboxer Red Alarm Galactic Pinball Vertical Force Jack Bros. Wario Land Mario Clash (All non-puzzle.) The only puzzle games I can think of on VB are Panic Bomber 3D Tetris V-Tetris Have you ever played a VB? The 3D works well and while yes it isn't much of a "Virtual Reality" the games are for the most part entertaining and playable, in fact the whole headache thing for me is complete bullshit.
  • @kapeesh67 - By the way, the joystick was fantastic too, with L and R button in back side and no on top and to digital directionals. I was one of the luck owners of this console in 1995 and I'm miss so puch to have sold it.

  • because:

    1.-only 2 colors, black and red

    2.-the 3d really causes damages to the eyes (and it sucks anyway when you only can see red and black)

    3.-the design sucks

    4.-it was advertised as a VIRTUAL REALITY experience, and of course, it dissapointed

    5.-sure those games were good, but they really had no business being on the virtual boy (you know, VIRTUAL REALITY)

    and the list probably goes on, but I can't say anymore, so yeah, there you go.

  • @palitodequeso1234 Damage to your eyes? They're not fucking implants. Why does everyone think that using your eyes for what they are meant for (you know, VIEWING shit) causes damage to them?

  • @jeffhuys

    but it really caused damage, the 3d in general I don't know, but the virtual boy technology did, it was like a laser pointing to your eyes.

  • @marcelocarvalhodutra well i think it could have bin cool and i hhope that the wii 2 or playstation 4 will have a controller like the virtual boy but with collor and 720p

  • @111random Dude, this is some of the reasons why I dislike AVGN. All these kids watch his stuff and take it for what he says it is. And that is the only viewpoint they take. We need some more old fashion game reviewers to give some objective point of views.

  • @111random I have, and it gave me a headache in the first five minutes. This commercial is pretty boss though.

  • @111random i played it in a store when it first came out and it gave me a headache. plus it was all red. i thought it sucked.

  • @111random I played it back in the day. My friend had it and it really is not a good system. There are only about 14 or so games for it and maybe one or two out of that bunch that are worth playing. Actually Wario is the only game that comes to mind that was a good game for that system. It did not even need to be on that system. If it was on the Gameboy than it would have been better.

  • @111random I played it, it was horrible. Most of the games the 3D was either really lame or you couldn't make out what you were looking at or where you were going. Also the only way to play it was to place it on a table in front of you and try to keep it level with your head. A huge mistake and it's lifetime and game library speak for itself. James does not lie in his video.

  • now i see where they got the idea for the nintendo game cube controler.looks like an over sized game cube controler.

  • Was the greatest idea ever and also the greatest failure ever

  • @Dalonso1994 lol i know right

  • Virtual Boy

    Virtual Reality

    Virtual Shit

  • The idiotic tripod form factor was a big problem. Didn't you have to rig up something yourself to actually wear it rather than hunch over a table?

  • A voz é assustadora!! CREEPY!!

    

  • i cant beleive this is 32 bit because it stinks!

  • worst console EVER

  • @coop878: they got it for 80 bucks.

  • 32 bit??? wow companies DO takes us for stupid!

  • Good Idea,

    worst hardware.

  • They totally screwed themselves by saying it couldn't be viewed on a TV but then show gameplay from Mario's Tennis. 2D or 3D, doesn't matter.

  • Advanced 3D gameplay can't b sen on TV! :-D

  • 3 FUCKING D!!!!! fuck 3ds

  • My reaction:

    :O

  • They were going for 3D games now we replace virtual boy with Wii.

  • @TheSheepMonster I completly agree all these stupid kids want is better graphics no one cares about the gameplay anymore especially black cocks it sucks balls and it really is boring thats why i only play the 90's games....the good games....well when everything was still good.....

  • still it beats the power glove

  • @mmmmmdatsgoodsoup I don't play Call of Dookie, you fucktard. I don't play any of the bullshit they started making after around 2008. I'm fucknig disgusted with how gaming is these days. Tired of the fanboys. Tired of the fucking 10-year-old Black Cocks shittards. It fucking sickens me.

    Having said that, everyone knows the Virtual Boy was also a big heap of fuck. Perhaps it is YOU who is playing the modern games.

  • The Virtual Boy was actually really awesome. It was just way ahead of its time.

  • This video almost scares me in a way like "this is the future and robots and gaming are taking over" kind of message

  • Im sure that in real life the world around us isn't red.... XD

  • "That happened, and we let it happend." Peter Griffin.

  • wait..there were lcd screens in the mid 90's???

  • @BlackSupraC2 you're an idiot.

  • @BlackSupraC2 nope. It's a TFT screen. They've been around since the late 1970s

  • It ruined the commercial with that women narrating.

    And what really ruined it was when she said:

    "Virtual Boy is so advanced"

    It sounds like she loves the Virtual Boy. (And I mean she LOVES it)

    "Virtual boy is sooo advanced"

    The women, and how she said that ruined the commercial.

  • @dylanmcferrenreturn I think the Virtual Boy ruined that commercial.

  • 44 people can suck a dick!

    the rest of us will enjoy iife pre AND post-eye surgery

  • why do they first say it can not be shown on tv and then you see gameplay of the tennis

  • only 14 games, thats how bad this was

  • @CrushingC10996WM it wasn't so much how bad it was as it was how it could induse siezures

  • Comment removed

  • this is such a bad commerical :/

  • @MrJillsimpson thakns for letting us know idiot

  • 0:18 if my head did that... omg

  • My eyes started to bleed just watching this.. XD

  • Nintendo needs to rewrite their slogan for the virtual boy, it shouldn't be a "3-D game for a 3-D world" but a "3-D game for a 4-D world" because we have 4 dimensions, length, width, depth and time.

  • @Nelrockz1

    You are right. They should re-right their slogan for a failed and dead system to incorporate something that not everyone agrees with.

  • @MyRidgeRacer Says the person who can't type three letter words. :)

  • No wonder the system failed so hard... this commercial is truly horrendous.

  • i wish virtual boy never came out is the only fail thing of nintendo

  • @MyRidgeRacer Your grammar is AN*** epic fail.

  • I've played it several times and didn't get a headache. I wish I had one.

  • Which came first: this ad or the TNG episode about heroin?

  • @netcrusher88 beat me to it...

  • Still got mine. Terrible system but Wario Land was fun

  • hahaah :D

  • At least nintendo didnt fuck up 3d this time

  • 32 bit?? NO WAY?!?!?! :O

  • lol

    nintendo:yknow guys, do you really think the virtual boy is actually 3d?

    nintendo guy 2:no, lets do it right next time for a new console with 2 screens...

    few years later

    both: FINNALY!

  • @Mariogalaxy98 Sorry, not funny at all...

  • @CherPsKy did i say it was MEANT to be funny?

  • @Mariogalaxy98 Yes, but it was tacit...

  • @CherPsKy no, i was predicting what the guys at nintendo were saying about the VB

  • thanx 4 everybody that got outa earth on those retna scans, now it;s in the handheld optics

  • Another Virtual Nightmare!

  • I got it with Verticle force and Teleroboxer, but it didn't come with the AC Adapter or the Battery pack. I asked people where i could get it they said "No, but now you won't get headaches =D"

  • When I was a kid this commercial freaked me out!

  • This was a shit system! I remember when this crap came out! Glad I never asked for it as a kid!

  • WTF??Is this moved by batteries??

  • Bad System, Good Games!

  • La 3DS n'a rien de nouveau, elle date de 1995, Nintendo nous rebalance sa console sous un autre emballage

  • this scared me

  • Holy shit I completely forgot about this. It was out for like a week lol =p

  • Haha terrible! Thanks for the up. This "console" came and went so fast I barely even remember it.

  • I remember this being out but totally forgot about it until someone brought one into the Pawn Stars. lol, What a complete failure...

  • Damn! this makes me want one!

  • @TheMhn5 those things hurt ur eyes! and the graphics were never that good on them

  • I kindof feel bad for the guy who came up with the Nintendo Virtual Boy, Because in Japan for Nintendo they have a rule that if you make a item and it falls then you're not allow to work on Nintendo's next item and it turns out to be the Nintendo 64. Can't help but think how hard that much have been not to work on a masterpiece like the Nintendo 64

  • i saw this on pwn stars

  • @JasonTentertainment how much did it go for i have one of these

  • @patharick $75

  • @JasonTentertainment I saw it on Pawn Stars as well great tv show, I never thought I would see the Nintendo Virtual Boy again and I still remember how bad I thought the device was

  • @JasonTentertainment they had a virtual boy on pawn stars?!?! LOL! how much did they get for it do u know?

  • This commercial scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. It was right after the Cold War, way too much red for a God and Communist fearing little boy.

  • nintendo 3ds`s dad

  • THIS IS THE FUTURE !!!!....

  • And I thought the games looked scary.

    O_O

  • that voice sounds like the voice from the car radio in "darkseed"

  • the commercial shows you what to do with it...flush it down the toilet

  • this game me a headache within 5 minutes when i played one at a target. must have been all that fucking red.

  • @ 0:05 Wow, this console sucks so bad it created a red hole!

  • ITS NOT HORRIBLE! (I WANT ONE!)

  • i think the 3DS will be horrible!

  • Listen to that voice...sounds like SHODAN! RUN!

  • it look like a TF2 sentry :D

  • I wonder who would buy a console which gives headaches, eye strains and fucking seizures ...

  • @jpelczar Anyone who has ever bought a console, according to every liability page in every manual ever.

  • My parents could not afford this when I was a kid. Last year I came across one(still in it's box!) at Goodwill. My husband just shook his head at me when I brought it home! LOL.

  • they banned virtual boy. yay

  • batteries not included

  • Virtual Boy is epic WIN!!

  • I got one for Christmas in 1995 and a few months later you couldn't find any games in the stores.

  • Yeah. I saw them for $30 and games for $10. I finally replaced mine for $100 and the games cost me $7-$15. Ugh. Somehow, I actually like the system better than I did as a kid.

  • fuck the wii, xbox, ds, ps3. i want this for christmas

  • @Rainbow2766 dude itll give u a headach the first 10 mins

  • its funny how it said it was so advanced they couldn't put it on the TV screen. and then they showed gameplay of mario tenis.

  • Oh shit I remember this lol! I remember playing the demo of VB at The Wiz back in 95' lol! This shit was straight trash can lol!

  • UN COMERCIAL POTENTE....y esa makinita en ese tiempo ya tenia 32 - bit mira vos!

  • With the 3DS coming out I bet nintendo looked at the virtual boy and said

    "Hey lets take this concept and do it right."

  • @LiquidArmProduction i just hope they take some of the vb games and bring them to the 3ds, wario world was such a great game

  • @Sillyzombie666 That would be cool but I'd rather have a remake. It can be the same game but give it color please I won't be able to stand looking at a red and black screen for hours.

  • @LiquidArmProduction odds are they will if they do make it since red n black would suck

  • @LiquidArmProduction Well except for the fact that Nintendo made this console and that the 3DS isn't perfect by any means

  • @LiquidArmProduction

    They'll probably make a headset using 3ds and Wii technology Can you just IMAGINE playing a first person shooter online now?

  • @LiquidArmProduction More like, "let's take this piece of shit gimmick and recreate it."

  • "Planet Virtual Boy"

  • should have been called "Red 3D Boy" not "Virtual Boy"

  • Virtualboy A.K.A Nintendo 3DS part 1.

  • They forgot the part where you have epileptic fits and eye damage lol.

  • The first layered 2D game system. You don't want to play these on any T.V. screen. Virtual Boy only provides these graphics because they're horrible. Virtual Boy. Psuedo 2D/3D for a really lame, easily enertained by graphics, world.

  • When I was young, if I saw this commercial on TV, I would have been afraid to play a game xDD

    PD: I'm not joking XD
