Virtual Boy

[Jmenglan]

I recently purchased one several days ago and was curious if any of you guys have one and what's your opinion of it

I love mine. It used to be a constant fixture in my apartment, mostly because people thought I was crazy for having one. Anyway some games I would suggest are 3D Tetris and Wario Land. There are definitely other gems on the system, but with so few games picking up all you can find is worth it.

I think its cool but can only play for short periods of time... or you'll get headaches... I have a couple games and have had fun with mine but it mainly is used as a centerpiece in my gaming room!!! Interesting idea, design but at end of the day not mass market.. There are definitely other gems on the system, but with so few games picking up all you can find is worth it the games I recommend Wario Land, Mario Clash, Mario Tennis.

thanks a lot, i heard wario was a great game and the main reason i picked one up, i love all the game boy ones. I brought up the box to my dorm today and my roommates thought i was an idiot for buying a "red set of goggles", but eh i like nintendo stuff. yeah i heard about the headache problem, hope its not too bad.. i didnt get the adaptor since it cost more than the actual system, is the battery life decent on it?

When i first got my virtual boy many years ago, i remember the battery life not being to good so i ran out and got the adapter. Thank godness I got most of my virtual boy supplies when they were still out there..

I have one. One of Nintendo's rare failures. I played the Tennis game and Wario mostly. Liked Red Alarm too.

Have one, love it mainly because of its place in videogaming and the looks. Don't play too much, it makes me dizzy.

I used to love my Virtual Boy back in the day. Wario and Tennis were my jams. It did make me dizzy and gave me a bad headache. Good times.
