The virtual boy was awesome. I literally thought it was a childhood hallucination for almost 2 decades…
Imagine if they had more games for it, and kept improving the tech. Up through the Wii, Nintendo actually made some of the most amazing tech - the Wii accelerometers are what made quadcopters possible (outside of DARPA projects). The Nintendo back then could’ve made worthwhile VR before the iPad took the “I want to be on the Internet on the couch” niche
I played it at a blockbuster I think. I desperately wanted one as a kid. The only games I remember were tennis and a wario side scroller where he can jump into the background. I think I would have been bored within a week.
A neighborhood kid showed me a fighting game on it, and I think there was a star fox esque game that should’ve been the launch app (assuming it was any good)
