[soullessSiIence]

Worst console ever.

[jasamdomo]

@soullessSiIence

That honor goes to CDI

[drpacman579]

well it goes with evil headaches sickness getting laughed at for using one in public and the most shit graphics.

[1legomaster]

thumbs up if you only clicked cause of funny picture

[kingbrandus111]

Isn't it weird that in all of the Virtual Boy commercials it looks like it's trying to kill the kids?

[voodoophoenix999]

Comes with bleeding eyes. :D

[bladeskinsuicide]

"Want to play?" FUCK NO!

[TheMarioluigifans]

"But there was one thing he would never have...." ummmmm.... 20/20 vision after playing the virtual boy?

[able506]

no i do not want to play

[chunkmanshaun]

whens this coming out for pre orders!?

[SeranAki]

yo quiero uno!!!!

[Stereorage]

At the time, I think Nintendo was trying to cash in on societies fascination with "virtual reality", and pretty much tried to sell it as a virtual reality gameplay unit. When people actually played the thing however, it didn't quite live up to that hype which Nintendo set up for the system. I remember reading about it all the time in my Nintendo Power magazines back in those days, and that is basically how they hyped it, as a legit virtual reality system.

[TheNinwii]

is nintendo 3ds like this?

i`l take the chance, nintendo rarely fails twice

[JabeAtomic]

@TheNinwii naa bro. 3DS has already kicked this things ass. i have a virtual boy for one sole purpose. Wario Land. The 3ds has no need for headwear of any sort. its next gen, and its fully portable with 3D (as in polygons) graphics (and far better than the DS, almost on level with the game cube) virtual boy wasnt well recieved due to nintendo rushing it to market in order to shift development towards the Ultra 64 (Nintendo 64)

[Ajscosmos]

@TheNinwii yeh that and the game and watch... 

[blainethomas]

after seeing AVGN, I don't "wanna play".

[Gollumnova]

OMG and the next month i'll buy Nintedo 3DS ....

Please nintendo don't FAIL again ...

[TheBlackCricket]

I didn't know lil' Wayne had a Virtual Boy

[JohnDoe2089]

I think this comercial just named half of the entire collection of games

[AyumiAoi]

i remember this commercial!! they played this nonstop after school and on saturday mornings

[donjuanzx9]

Have it ! It has a built in pause after like 10 minutes to give your eyes a rest.....It is fun but the new 3D by Nvidia is more impressive.

[Animan144]

HAHA....hes trying not to play it because he knowss that "Man 32 bit graphics that are in red in black....why dont ya just make me play a 32X while your at it!"....ah just kidding....might be a fail nintendo system but has there really been anything like it

[NTenshow]

0:27 < That looks retarded

[beleccudo]

Why these tv spots were made to be scary?

[johneymute]

3d system!!?? most games were just 2d,with just the same background,only a few games were true 3d,but they looked mostlly skalletory.

what it needed was doom and pokemon stadium, with link feature.

why they dit,nt call it stereoscopic 3d system cuzz that,s exactly what it is.

3d my ass!!!!!!!!!

[GamingPalooza]

@johneymute

I owned a Virtual Boy when it first came out and I had Mario Tennis and Wario Land, and the games were 3D. Wario Land was one of the best platformers I had played during that period in time, in the 90s... surprisingly good... you need a Virtual Boy to know what your talking about... It is an excellent gaming device, but it had it's flaws... basically the only flaw it had was head aches, neck strains, and that it really was not portable.

[DominicMetal1979]

Notice they never show the actual gameplay. This thing was a marketing disaster piece-of-sh*t.

[flakelorenz02]

The only advert I've seen for a system that comes close to stating nearly every game released for the system.

[Luky252]

If i want to play virtual boy? NO!!! It make my eye blind! but thank god i have glassed and i would not take them off you bad virtual boy!

[zztopis]

i remember this commercial when i was little.

It was eirther Christmas 95 or 96 and i had a toy

dinosouer and for some reason when this commercial

came on the head and face on it turned red ???

[libresylokos713]

i want one of thoes there worth money

[latenaito]

All those games they mention werent anything worth mentioning in this commerical as if they're so cool. the names alone says their crap. who the hell cares about playing pinball on a newly released console? thats like if they made some arcade crane game simulator for wii when it came out and mentioned in the commercial with this guys voice trying to make ti sound so "dangerous" and "play it if you dare to be cool" give me a break

[darla620]

Wanna play Virtual Boy?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[reeltoreelmaster]

I wish some one makes virtual boy 2 or

VB2

[darla620]

Why? The Virtual Boy sucked.

[reeltoreelmaster]

because i like it . and i dont care it suck

[cowmasterbob]

cuz it sucked so bad it would just get worse dats why

[masterpj55]

it was red because red is the colour that uses the least power.

and thats why they didn't do a coloured screen

because the battery would have been drained in a few minutes

(it worked on regular battery's :-( )

and the consoles back then weren't power efficient so they tried to save as much as they could.

but virtualboy would have been much better with a headstrap and.. COLOUR

it shouldn't had been portable but just attached to a external console.

and mini Heads Up Display attache to it

[Newbpwng]

i had all these games RedAlarm,Pinball,Boxing one, Mario Tennis and Wario Land

[Myspacegigolo]

So easy a caveman can do it hahaha. Get it? cuz he's in a cave and...*sigh*

[dogeymon83]

I never cared what anyone said about this thing. I wanted one from day one. Later on, it failed so miserably and I got one on discount brand new for $24.99 from EBX!!! Very happy day!

[aspatria2008]

only 22 games were released

[darla620]

Poor guy, I felt sorry for him when the VB asked him to play- the innocent boy got TRAPPED INSIDE!

[nicklang319]

I actually think the virtual boy is quite underrated, there are some pretty good games for it.

[UltraPrimus]

True, but there games you'd be better off playing on a normal tv or LCD screen, but i agree

[coco11894]

this waz a messed up system red is bad 4 ur eyes

[RollinRolex]

Thats something ive got to ask. WHY RED!? Of all colours...

Ive never had one of these, but from what I heard, red was used a way on saving money.

[0o0verginya0o0]

they released that waaay to early the creater wanted more time to work on it but nintendo made him release it...

i wonder what it would have been like if they had enough time...

[qsxsqsxs]

they made him release it so they could work on the n64

[LuigiMario42]

If i was asked if i wanna play, i'd say "NO". Then i'd say "You are going to give me headaches and crap, aren't ya?"

[Dinosaurprince]

I have had this system for years. I have never had any kind of problems while playing it and I am prone to headaches.
