The virtual boy doesn't even have the 3D novelty factor anymore since we have VR headsets which present a million times more immersive 3D experience.
If nintendies want to spend 100$ on it because they're collectors or whatever, fine. Acting like they're about to experience an amazing console is ridiculous though
I’m haggy enough to remember the Virtual Boy in its day and even then there was no novelty. It was notable among my buddies and classmates for having crazy deep discounts. It became the stock gift at birthdays.
And I can comfortably say we had no standards. We’d regularly play those Tiger LCD handhelds. But nobody wanted to play the Virtual Boy.
