5:45 "Where'd you learn to fly?"

[supertrollversion00]

wow atlus released a game on the virtual boy...interesting XD

[J0nnyboy19]

thumbs up for sonic 2 poster

[adailtonpersegonha]

I would like to see a nerd's review of the Nintendo 3DS

[J0nnyboy19]

@adailtonpersegonha yeah right the 3ds kicks asssssssss

[YouFeedUsLies]

I saw Mario's Tennis for $15 at a store the other day. lol

[BackToTehFuturePart2]

he duct taped it to his head

[sailoramaya]

I actually saw a Virtual Boy game at a retro game shop the other day. I lol'd.

[Cobac]

@sailoramaya if its cheap buy it and sell it on the net for xxx $

[falloutboy97100]

@sailoramaya I was walking around my retro store that was in a mall, and they were selling one. I laughed my ass off when I saw it there. Even the employee said it was retarted that they were selling it

[aNoeHFproduction]

WHERES THE INTRO!!??

[cesarmanuel51]

@aNoeHFproduction this is an updated version featured in the avgn vol.3 disk so it doesn't have it cause its not the original

[SgtDonuts]

The 3DS

[tkoizumi]

I think media fooled you all. Even the games on our current gen console have nothing to do with 3D. It's really nothing but rendered graphics. The term 3D are used way too many times with movies and even television. It also has nothing to do with 3D. It's an old technology called a stereoscopic view. After all, would you call a magazine cutout slightly raised from a page a 3 dimensional object? You all have been fooled. American media brain washed you and called it 3D to be more marketable.

[masticina]

@tkoizumi

Yup maybe the 3DS finally gets it but most media formats are.. really not 3d in any kind. Dept.. I can see dept in 2d movies.

[shannoncleveland]

why must these few good games be on this console!?

[IAmNotAFunguy]

Don't we all miss the days when 3D was just a rare gimmick? Now it's an entire marketing scam being shoved down our faces thanks to a stupid piece-of-sh!t movie called Avatar!

[maelstrom98761]

i wonder if there is a world record for longest play time of the virtual boy.

[TheDarkNeonHero]

Virtual Boy was then, now we have 3-D TV compatible games and interactive ones like the Wii, Xbox Kinect and PlayStation Move. and the grand daddy, the Nintendo 3DS for making Glasses free 3-D

[hecatomb]

I used to play this at toys r us. Wario was the only game that was good

[KikiGames1]

Where is the intro? :'(

[e84fresh]

Virtual Boy only lasted 1 year ? lol What a flop  LAMO!!!!!

[Lanoring]

Only in the AVGN world would shooting something the bird make it explode.

[kyuubikid213]

WOO! The 3DS has less than a month to go before it surpasses the Virtual Boy's life!

[kyuubikid213]

I would be excited to get Virtual Boy titles in the 3DS VC.

[videogameguy77]

did that tape hurt coming off your hair ouch

[Pedobreach]

agreed, 8 minutes into the review and I'm tired and approaching a headache from that terrible blurred red.

[BLACKIESBOY]

Is it just me, or was anyone else feeling dizzy after looking at the Virtual Boy footage?

Seriously, my eyes hurt and I wanna puke

[RammingFausnut]

actually they could make an awesome VR system, it just needs to be on next gen consoles.. or PC at least.

[sfighter991]

They should remake "Telroboxer" for the Nintendo 3DS!!!

[EMaster2006]

I only remenber playing Virtual Boy once at a Target, and it wouldn't be years later until I learn why it was given an early retirement.

[Ninox37]

It looks like the SOFLAM from BF3.

[youtubian2500]

Maybe they only used red because it would be too much like reality if they used too much color. It'd make your brain so confused you'd think it was real.

...

In a way, you could say the creators saved us from virtual certain doom.

[Terminus92]

HAHAHA I CAN"T BELIEVE HE USED MASKING TAPE TO TAPE IT TO HIS HEAD HAHAHAHA

[aNoeHFproduction]

@Terminus92 HAHAHA I CAN'T BELIVE YOU USED TWO APOSTRAPHIES IN CAN'T HAHAHAHA

[SilentL3gi0n]

@aNoeHFproduction I think it's believe, not belive.

[aNoeHFproduction]

@SilentL3gi0n Huh.... Thanks (in a good way)

[ChiliDUDE27]

Mr37Kyle........why would you know this?

[TGCitizen]

@ChiliDUDE27 because they like red color

[Mr37Kyle]

67 peoples finished Mario clash on one day

[videogameSNAKE]

My head hurts sssssooooooooooo much...... mind-fucked ;'P

[LEGOmations0091]

0:16 I have that table. It's what props up my makeshift desk...

[Immobulus7]

Vitrual Boy is NWO Wolfpack 4 Life

[Jaricho77]

THE FLIP OF DOOM!!!! *virtua-boy explodes*

[SmokeyBluntRoach]

i have a virtual boy emulator on my wii, and its funny. the games actually look good without the 3d.

[SparkyDaHedgehog]

Looking at this video again, I think they should remake some of the decent Virtual Boy games for 3DS. I'd love to play Virtual Boy Wario Land. Just rename it Wario Land 3D, put it up for download on the eShop, and there you go. It would probably sell a lot better than it did on Virtual Boy.

[SidheKnight]

God, that VB is a piece of CRAP!

[HellaRHG]

You should review the Warioland series, all the way to WL4!

[charger334]

im going to go watch the nc's reveiw on waterworld now!

[mranime1982]

how many nintendo power books do you own i have about 100 from the 90"s

[TrapnestShinigami]

Why isn't Waterworld on the 3DS eShop? :c

[Thecon2142]

I literally got a headache from watching him play this, I bet drug stores made a KILLING on asprin when this thing came out...

[Knoh]

@Thecon2142 I bet there's a conspicary in there somewhere. And I also bet no one can be bothered to have a go against Nintendo.

[MrPotatoSack177]

Just watching the gameplay makes me dizzy

[twodimensionlife]

Nerd used FUCK YOU against Virtual Boy.

It's super effective!

[checko5555]

"my ass is portable" LOOOOL

[OMGIWuvPudding]

Jack Frost from Shin Tenshi Megami? HEE HOO!

[DignatoJ]

@OMGIWuvPudding

He's the Atlus mascot too!

[neji10000000]

@OMGIWuvPudding yah because it was made by atlus

[rockdog123]

waterworld : puking on a pile of shit . 2girls 1 cup reference ?

[tengokunoikari]

it does look like shit

[Fredrik2012]

Now review 3DS. Same shit, but in colour...

[ECL28E]

@Fredrik2012 Not really. The 3DS is a really good system. For one, it's actually portable! Second, it doesn't make itself out to be VR when it isn't. It's just stereoscopic 3D, but unlike the VB, the 3DS's 3D is sharp, clean, and looks really good and no need for glasses and can be switched on and off. I admit the battery life is a problem, but it's still a good handheld. Nintendo has a thing for innovating their consoles and they've done it again, and it's really well done.

[Fredrik2012]

@ECL28E Well... It is portable! For a few hours... But it still hurts your eyes (at least mines) and the joystick sucks! The 3D isn't the best either... My head...! :)

[BrandonAngelDragon]

Some of these games should be ported to 3DS

[arby299]

my eyes are actually hurting... and i was only watching this not playing it :P

[supermariofan03]

do you think nintendo said this:

Boss: let's make a new DS but this time with 3D effects

Employee 1: uh sir remember the Virtual Boy?

Boss: that thing is a piece of sh*t! let's get other colors other than just black and red, and you don't need to put it too close to your face

[dazzsheil]

Virtual Boy < 3DS

[halowraith1]

@TheKigYarGamer Do you come from Eayn?

[heartkiller1974]

doom 32 bits

virtual boy 32 bits

can you imagine doom on that thing?

[EthanJM]

I only played this in the store as a kid, maybe 30 minutes of gameplay time, and I remember it very well, why? Because it was that unpleasant. The goggles were only for one size, I remember moving so much trying to get comfortable that it rubbed my face raw, and the headaches that came from playing it were worse. I played it, and never had an interest in owning one afterwards.

[evilgamers1]

i can`t believe anyone actually bought one of these! its hard to believe that nintendo, the creators of the NES, the console that saved the gaming industry from dying actually created this stupid head-held (its on your head,get it?) i mean i`d get it if it was a full colour system that actually had a headstrap, a slimmer design and a better controller, it would make sence to be like this since it would increase the console`s potential massicely, it could beat the gameboy if it was like that

[QuickmanBlue]

@evilgamers1 Well, Nintendo didn't want to put a headstrap on the VB because they thought we'd walk out into the street with it. Also the VB was out in a time when Gameboy was getting old and the SNES was losing in the 32-bit era. Nintendo needed a 32-bit console Oh, and in reguard to your complaint about it not being in full color, it had to be that way. LED was only in red in 1995 if they used LCD it could have been in color, but then the 3d wouldnt work. Not trying to be rude just giving info

[evilgamers1]

@QuickmanBlue they should have left the whole 3D thing alone then

[QuickmanBlue]

@evilgamers1 Well, this was Nintendo trying to compete with SEGA. Before the Virtual Boy SEGA was attempting to create a 3d console called SEGA VR an add-on to the genesis but it used LCD screens and it caused motion sickness and failed before it made it to the market. Nintendo wanted to rise where SEGA failed. So Gunpei Yokoi gave a prototype to Nintendo, he wanted a slimmed down version but Nintendo needed something on the market right away and mass produced the prototype.

[christiansoldier11]

@QuickmanBlue really? if you have sources that can be published on wikipedia! pity the VB was never released in PAL reigons i wanted to play some Mario Clash and the emulator i have makes everything green and blue and shits around.

[halfloafofkungfu]

Best quality of VB: Music in Waterworld.

[TheMrminimario]

Nintendo should release all the games of VirtualBoy on 3DS. but then in color..

[doggod106]

Virtual reality has been replaced with Immersion which is very important to most people actually same reason I don't really play third person games.

[MrOcelot9]

I actually plan to make a Virtual Boy 2 in the future.It will even have first person shooters:Duke Nukem 3D,Doom,Doom 2,Wolfenstein 3D+Nocturnal Missions,Spear Of Destiny missions 1,2+3...and the list goes on!

[NEVdD]

Red alarm uses both D pads and I find it pretty playable, I like the fact that Nintendo attempted to make something different but it is true that the technology to build a 3D portable system was not ready, they could have waited for decent color LCD screens... Or use two plasma screens like on Gamegear!

[wannafight321]

I admit, at 9:24 my eyes took a deep breath.

[Dithiannim]

Hrm... Atlus game Jack Bros. Shame it wasn't translated though because they make incredibly well-written plot. I didn't know Atlus actually had a game specifically for their mascot.

[angrybird35]

you give it the f boom get it :D 15:25

[chipethecat]

he should use the 3ds. 

[PSspecialist]

It is actually tiring to watch the games from the video. Imagine actually having this piece of shit in front of you and start playing! You'd rather have a cobra shoot venom in your eyes!

[Explodingxbox]

Hee-Ho motherfuckers

[Cheesypie23]

they need to remake warioland on 3ds

[Cheesypie23]

gunpei yokoi of nintendo said he wasnt finished with it but nintendo pushed it into the stores

[KamikazeLive]

How did the AVGN get the duct tape from around his head without creating an epic bald spot?

[epicsz3000]

is this episode uploaded 2 times?

[KamikazeLive]

@epicsz3000

One has an extra Virtual Boy game, and one doesn't.

[Mario60665]

WHAT?!?!? No, no, no, no! That's the n°1 rule for Mario games: A= Jump, B= Grab, Run, Throw fireballs! You do NOT swap that! It's like raping someone's childhood

[Mario60665]

Nice Killer Instinct music at the start.....I still have that awesome game

[Afonso027]

4:30 "you can really become the Pinball Wizard". It's a reference to The Who's song, "Pinball Wizard", a great song BTW. It's about a deaf, dumb and blind kid who plays pinball like fuck.

[evilgamers1]

"nobody really gives a shit about virtual reality anymore" well then they might as well make call of duty and battlefield 3rd person perspective games rather than 1st person, also just to prove you wrong, need for speed: shift 2 unleashed (do not play this game, shitty as all hell) has a helmet cam! it makes driving more realistic because when you turn the character moves his head and you can see parts of the helmet when at angles and the visor shadow so saying no one cares is technicly wrong

[Dark0Lord7]

Woah, Red Alarm looks like a Vectrex game. Only difference - It's red and it sucks.

[Gg66dolphin]

are people ACTUALLY comparing the 3DS and the virtual boy. Wow, people are really stupid, the 3DS has already sold like 10 times more and is constantly getting better

[christiansoldier11]

this is the version that needs 1,000,000 views, not the version actually LACKING a piece of the episode.

[awesomepic12]

3:52 That's the reason they created kinect for xbox360

[awesomepic12]

1:59 I was thinking, how's he gonna get the duct tape off

[knexfan100]

I heard nintendo got impatient with the devopers of the vr 32. They took so long to create a decent design with color. Nnintendo scraped the new designs and sold the prototype design.

[sba20041]

Well...thats how 3DS was been created

[dino312989]

Please Thumbs DOWN if you own one of these pieces of shit!

[mariofanX1]

Well, those gamer are bad... but wait when you see the japanese-only games for virtal boy - like fuckin' Virtual Lab!

[fezman222]

My eyes hurt just watching this video...

[Cheesypie23]

i want jack bros to be remade on 3ds :D

[Nocturnal1Entity]

i cant believe it...I always wanted a V-boy. I thought it was da coolest. Until i found out u might as well just stare at the POWER ON indicatior light on da NES.

[zombiefan011]

It's been 15 years and we are still trying to get 3D games right, much less virtual reality!

[tristanroeleveld]

shall i hurt my if i play on this thing for 30 minutes?

[dydx09]

I use my old virtual boy to keep my piano leveled.

[OurGangFan]

@dydx09 SO it did come in use.

[Lucios1995]

@dydx09 Isn't the piano heavier than that?

[christiansoldier11]

@dydx09 oh thats royalty, i use mine as a toilet paper holder.

[zombiefan011]

believe it or not Sega had a virtual reality based add on for the Genesis planned, called the Sega VR. Obviously it never came through, which says a lot about it. Think for a minute, the Virtual Boy was released, but that one wasn't! It mustve sucked pretty hard to do that!

[TheIceCritic]

I was frozen today!!!

[kirby0628]

I bought this at a second hand game store.

I played it in the car on the way home, bitch. It wasn't hard at all.

[retrokidd420]

Oh shit. I thought I had seen every AVGN episode and then I find this! How did I miss this one??? lol.

[potterriddle9]

3ds

[zombiefan011]

Why is waterworld the worst Virtual Boy game? Is it the control, the graphics or just that it's based off the movie?

[Jakkdude]

i loved jack bros D:

[cheapmovies25]

they should make a new console like that, but with real good 3d and a real virtual experience. i bet now they could do a full hd extremely intense 3D experience.

[JackTun]

I know what elce gives me a headache. watching too many of these because they remind me of when i was 5 playing these games XD

[TrapnestShinigami]

Hotel Mario > Mario Clash

[TrapnestShinigami]

@RedBeaver3

Not quite. James makes it very clear and simple. Marketed as a portable system. No color. Causes headaches. It used some 3D elements, but unlike the Nintendo 3DS, this was calles "VIRTUAL" Boy.

And I also think that the technology was too young, and honestly... I kindda liked the VB concept, but I'd get really tired of the red screens, and I tried it out. If this was 1995 o 1996, I'd stick to the Game Boy

[Kirbyguy12345]

Thank god the 3ds was not shit

[TheMrHalo3Freak]

@JamesNintendoNerd There ARE 3 really close virtual reality things,they are the kinect (hands free,voice,Xbox 360),Playstation Move (PS3), and the Wii. Kinect is my personal favorite because it is hands free and no use of a remote.And it says right on the box "You ARE the controller.".

P.S. Do you have an Xbox 360? And if you do, get a Kinect and review it :) .

[lazyguy800]

virtual boy-fail

3ds-epic win

[acapellatown]

@lazyguy800 3ds-fail virtual boy-one of the most awesome consoles eva down with new video games

[Nighterac]

@acapellatown You're either a troll, or just a idiot.

[theguyyouate6]

@lazyguy800 Fuck off...

[FamousMovieScenes09]

I've watched this video inside out, daily for the last year and a half..............and i STILL never bore of it

[zombiefan011]

The closest thing we have come to virtual reality is the Kinect

[zombiefan011]

I'm not surprised no one has made another VR console since.

[913lalilulelo]

i want one

[jrmarrero96]

Just watching these clips of Virtual Boy games on Youtube is making my eyes, head, and ass hurt. I can only imagine what the real thing must be like...

[drakeTM1]

woah, i didnt know you could edit a video after uploading it!

[chucknorisisawesome]

Man i wish i had i VB Because my friend always bragged about wario land and how he beat it

[MasterYumyums]

@RedBeaver3 Fair enough.

One more gripe from your first comment...

Red Alarm was a good game? Just watching the Nerd play it made my head hurt. It's just a bunch of lines with no definition of where you can even go! Maybe I'm missing something having not played it myself, but it looks not only bad, but unplayable.

[wayneeagles68]

nester was in Play Action Football

[ndingo]

i think thats why the Virtual Boy failed NO FUCKING HEAD STRAP

[euamometalgear]

OH MY FUCKING GOD JACK BROS IS FROM ATLUS!

[ryan146100]

and now they made a 3ds wich is way better w/ 3d graphics

[ryan146100]

its red because it uses infa-red waves to play the games so they are all in 3d

[Zice033]

Nearly 15 YEARS LATER Nintendo could FINALLY pull off the 3D gaming portable system

'cause the 3DS is f***in awesome

[Kirbyguy12345]

@Zice033 That is true

[jonwontonable]

Soairseranekanera I had one too!

[RenegadeVenom]

LOL I LOVED IT WHEN HE TAPED IT TO HIS FACE HE LOOKS LIKE A BUTTHOLE

[sweetsugarcoma]

Killer Instinct theme FTW!!

[FAA4Life666]

@sweetsugarcoma Lol, just thinking that.

[HeadacheVillain]

I really hope that virtual reality makes a comeback one day.

[trollbie]

@RedBeaver3 No...........virtual boy just sucks you retard.

[SaoirseRanekaera]

I think I had a version of this when I was younger but it was black, handheld (about the size of a gameboy advance, but bulky( and toook four AA batteries, two in each side... the screen folded out and slid out from the main body and the screen was black.... the game, red lighting, like this sorta. I don't remember the name of it, but I THINK it was from Sega, and there was an X in it... like eXtreme something or somethig, idr..... I'VE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS FOREVER someone please help me!

[TheKigYarGamer]

You know, I just realised... the Virtual Boy was released on August 14th, 1995 in North America, which also happens to be the day I was born! I hope that's not some kind of Bad Omen...

[TheKigYarGamer]

@TheKigYarGamer

But on the plus side, it was never released in Europe.

[juventinorocks]

Teroboxer should be released on the 3DS too

[juventinorocks]

And now, we have the 3DS :D

[TheZombiekiller99]

is the irate gamer still a series

[MasterYumyums]

@RedBeaver3 You also have to take the terrible design of the console into account. The thing was incredibly unwieldy, and nigh impossible to play multiplayer with. Also the monochrome coloring's a pretty big downside too. While you're right in principle, I think that the major flaws of the Virtual Boy also had a pretty large impact on its decline.

[MrZaku98]

my ass is portable!

[LemonCurdAddict1234]

He forgot SD Dimension Gundam War, Space Invaders Virtual Collection, Space Squash, Virtual Bowling, Virtual Fishing, and Virtual Lab. Sorry, just nitpicking - he hasn't reviewed the whole VB library.

[dave46563]

"It does look like shit!"

[PhazonSpear]

Was Jack Bros made by Atlus, by any chance? Jack Frost, King Jack and Pyro Jack?

[TheMagikalJuno]

@PhazonSpear Finally someone who knows Atlus. And Jack Bros. was made by Atlus.
