What do you think of the Virtual Boy?

[@TheMatHazE]

Reminds me that time Hilldawg ran in 2016

[@JolliAllGenGamer]

I have a virtual boy. I have not gotten any headaches nor eye strain from it. Only bad thing is my neck gets sore after using it.

[@BrandonFesler]

It was a secret communist plot to give everyone a sore neck! /s

[@GODCONVOYPRIME]

Gam sal mak the vitural buy not suk.

[@wastelander138]

I think it's one of the two reasons that Nintendo didn't push bleeding edge tech in following systems. The other being the N64. I imagine in the board room at Nintendo a big board on the wall, on that is pictures of both the N64 and Virtual boy with stats on how much they lost them and any time someone mentions going for more advanced and powerful hardware, someone points at that board.

[@kevinerosa]

I guess all the red blood that Nintendo censored in MK was used for the vb

[@someguy3186]

@@ActuallySanFrancisco I think the channel deserves even more as well, but keep in mind it also has better viewer consistency than a lot of larger channels. In terms of views, it's probably up there with many million sub channels. I've watched almost every single video. Can't really say that for any other channels.

I’ve never seen a product go from “new” to “clearance” faster than this.

Sweet advertisement

[@Gencoil]

"Gunpie Yocoy", ok now you're just trolling :D By the way, I think it's a damn shame that Nintendo never ported these games to 3DS. I think it would've been a great preservation effort. They could even have added new color modes if you don't want the typical redness.

Just wanted to commend you on the commitment to the colour scheme (used judiciously to save our eyeballs) and also going above and beyond, showing off the homebrews (and what the VB is capable of - street fighter looks great!) and that you bought a RGB out to give us such a clean image.

[@KronosTheDeejay]

I miss Dave at times... However, the bloody cross-eyed bits prove that Joe can carry the show solo, and keep it fully entertaining!

[@Scott-fj9uf]

Yea! New Sack! The Virtual Boy was largely a product of the mid-ninetie’s zeitgeist that was predicated by the wave of the then juvenile technology: the net, virtual reality and 3D coming into the fore. Joe, you’re virtually the best reviewer in cyberspace 🎮💻🕹📟📼

[@AndyTMonaghan]

The episode from AVGN about The Virtual Boy is still one of my favourites so seeing it get the Game Sack treatment is nice to see.

[@lumorowenamooncaller9811]

I think this is the video that really solidifies it for me: you've come into your own as a solo KZbinr.

I saw the tweet that you posted about some "company" offering to edit your videos for you because it's "tedious" and "cumbersome" or whatever nonsense they were trying to sell. Really? Could you imagine someone other than Joe editing these? It would suck! I'm sure your editing is far better than what they had to offer to begin with. We know that you love to edit, Joe. It's what makes your videos so damn good, and it shows. I had a good laugh at that tweet.

@@Gatorade69 Yo!

[@gochasingwaterfalls9970]

Couldn’t agree more Joe is one of the highest quality editors on KZbin, they should be paying him to edit their videos.

[@AlucardsQuest]

There are some good editors on KZbin, but Joe is a step above the best. I appreciate his attention to detail.

[@CristianGouget]

@@AlucardsQuest I think that's because he works, or at least used to, as a professional editor and it really shows in the quality of this show.

A real missed opportunity would have been a port of doom for the virtual boy

[@reinforcedpenisstem]

Yes! Crazy that there's only one game in first person perspective on the system...

[@TyCollage]

Dam... never considered that, literal mind blowing aside that would have been interesting.

[@Nestalgba92023]

And Duke Nuke'm 3D for the Virtual Boy.

[@SergioPL]

Very good video! Like always! Just one thing about “V Tetris”. They have a optional mode, that twist the gameplay. You can rotate the base. It’s a nice feature. I have two Virtual Boys with 16 games.

[@Sly2Cooper]

This VR thing was my childhood dream as I read about Doom in VR headsets. I'm so glad VR headsets are affordable these days. Have no problem wearing PS VR for several hours as long as games are not in red and black ))) Can you do a video on 3D games for PS3 or your favourite VR games?

[@AlucardsQuest]

I have a problem when the movement doesn't seem natural. I tried Skyrim in VR, and I had to walk slow. Worse are games that won't let you walk, but you have to "jump" around the playfield, and the screen changes rapidly.

[@Sly2Cooper]

@@AlucardsQuest I've prepared myself to VR with 3D games on PS3 and 3DS :) Sometimes movement in VR feels much too smooth for a real life making the brain think we ate something poisonous (toxins change our perception) and need to vomit asap. When this happens I shake and nod my head and body a little to create the feel of those natural movement bumps. Try repeating your meditation mantra (if you have one) and slow breathing (4 seconds inhale, 7 seconds hold and 8 seconds exhale). It reduces the adrenaline in the body thus helping with both headche and nausea. To relax stiffen shoulders, neck, jaws and eyes helps a lot too. Some parts of PS VR headset push on my temples causing headache after some time. So I wear my light earphones with small headband under the helmet to prevent this.

[@fireaza]

The 3D effect is remarkably good on the Virtual Boy. Especially considering the technology behind the console and that the graphics are just layered 2D sprites instead of true 3D polygons.

[@egwok1]

[@Novapoid]

That Hyper Fighting version of Street Fighter is really impressive. I wonder what its library would've looked like if this project was a financial success and it had more like that or the Wario game. We'll never know.

I'm a Megaten fan. I admit I laugh hard on that.

[@lorenzopliskin1384]

not to be that person ,but it's just a matter of recognition and history of the MegaTen franchise as a whole for the gaming community and public ,each series has its own merits,I am a fan of both,persona 5 is my personal favorite of the generation and SMTV my most anticipated game as of now,but the fact that Persona is the most popular and smt is in its shadow it's sadly a matter of fact,so as a fan of both I just wish for more balance in exposure and recognition by the public audience nothing else,but at least by being massively popular persona it's a great introduction to the MegaTen franchise for a lot of said new audience ,so it's role is still pivotal nonetheless

[@kadosho02]

@@lorenzopliskin1384 I grew up with it as well. It is a very different series to connect with. A different mindset from other series, and still even after all this time. The Megaten multiverse, is intriguing. Even though they are separate journey's, things do cross over. But the dedication some have, uh I can't comment because I'm not like those folks.

[@lorenzopliskin1384]

@@kadosho02 yes of course it's thanks to the wonderful artistical collective at ATLUS and the likes of Hashino,Okada,Kaneko,Doi and Meguro, to name just a few ,that both series were created and of course share a lot of similiraties from a gameplay and scenario perspective,also it's very funny not only drawing parallelism between them but even trying to create a shared timeline of events just for the fun and sake of it XD,it's thanks to Atlus trying new approaches to the core of the megaten series that persona was born,IF being its prototype,and maybe with project Re Fantasy we'll see a brand new type of jrpg that hopefully will be even more successful for Atlus
