I made it earlier this year, thought I would share. Now my VB can safely travel with me!
Honestly, I appreciate the Virtual Boy. It was ahead of it’s time, both positively and negatively. The 3D was a sort of prototype for the 3DS’ technology, and it worked well, especially for the mid-90s. Having a 32-bit console you can (kind of) carry with you was a dream back then.
The only issue was having to make so many concessions due to the cost of the 3D technology. 2bpp display? Bright red? Giant-ass brick you have to tape to your head? Bleh.
I’ve always loved it, didn’t get one as a kid - but drooled over store kiosks and dreamed.
Shortly after I got married, my (then new) wife surprised me with one after hearing me make a comment once about how cool I thought they were as a kid.
She then helped me track down every NA game for it over the course of that next year or so.
The system means a lot more to me now. 🙂
