The Story of the Virtual Boy

[@SEDB]

why doesn't this guy have so many more subscribers? this content is pure gold

[@phDGordon]

Sadly it’s not pure gold. Most of this information were reposted in internet in different articles, whose autors were copying each other. But in general I totally agree with you, there should be more subscribers

[@ОлегКутыркин]

Yes, Gunpei Yokoy is a great man, innovator and father of the portable console, eternal memory!!!

[@BAIGAMING]

Yep, 16:00 is why a lot of people working at and for Nintendo like Kaga also quit because they felt the higher-ups at Nintendo weren't doing enough for Gunpei's family. That's the only reason we get terrible people like Miyamoto and Sakurai in charge...

[@8thLife]

I've watched quite a few videos on the history of Virtual Boy, but you still managed to put in a few facts I hadn't heard before. Another incredible video from you 🙏

[@10gordyflynn01]

There's only one thing i don't understand about this channel... How it's not more popular?! Seriously, i follow some of the biggest KZbinrs on the platform but this is by far my favorite channel.

[@Sly88Frye]

I was introduced to your channel by being recommended your hour and 45 minute long video about the battle between Nintendo and sega. That was such a well made video and when I saw you had a 20 minute video about the virtual boy show up and related videos I had to watch. Great job! Your videos are so well made and well explained and well edited. I'm impressed

[@xbiker321]

I fell asleep on the couch, woke up, and ended up here.. Love the video and your content!

[@MKF30]

The VF may have failed by Nintendo standards but the concept was ahead of its time. One thing I've always respected Nintendo on is not being afraid to take risks. Notice with the Wii announcement years later their competitors laughed initially then got stomped and stole the same concept with motion controls. So you never know when it comes to an "out there" idea.

[@Protato_Gamer]

We need some big KZbinr to react to his videos so that he can get more subs

[@Antonio_Ortiz]

2:57: Tom Kalinske is a f***ing legend.

[@gunkarsingh1369]

You should also make more videoes focusing on a videogame series or one videogame particularly

[@JaminWarrenPMS]

I like the Virtual Boy. I've been happy with it and glad I was able to purchase it a little over a year ago.

[@aurathedraak7909]

also side note, starfox demo was made for this but fate killed it. I bet it would be the best game on here,

[@Onotosho]

Was just talking about the virtual boy. What a funny coincidence that a video would pop up today.

[@Sandia49]

Imagine how much more successful and inexpensive it would’ve been for them to develop virtual reality as a Nintendo 64 add on. The graphical power was already in the console. They could’ve just produced a nice colorful display and called it good.

[@narutobroken]

Please do more videos like this! History of things, also thank you for not having really loud music. Most of these videos the music is too loud and I can't understand the words

[@mglacrosse8]

You deserve so many more subs that what you have keep grinding you gotta break through soon the content is great !

[@eddyrowley51]

Great video, thanks for making it!

[@ProffyChaos]

Great content and great presentation. Thanks for the the effort you put in.

[@paulnewhouse5126]

Your videos are great!

[@bernbern309]

This channels so good glad to have found it

[@tiby2006]

Nice red font idea

[@bobcharlotte8724]

I love its use in Luigis Mansion 3!

[@captainnintendo]

I feel that it was such a wasted opportunity that Nintendo finally had a successful console that supported 3D images with the 3DS where they could have easily put out some of the old Virtual Boy games that so few people have had a chance to play. 3D is pretty much dead now and nobody really cares about it anymore so now that ship has sailed despite it being such a perfect fit to finally put some spotlight on these old games. Instead, they wasted time on those 3D NES conversions like Urban Champion and Excitebike

[@Ishitonyou666]

I remember virtual boy, I knew it was gonna be a failure back then, no one had it

[@emanuelsosa8]

I knew it was gina be a failure when i saw the games were in red and black

[@shallbeknown]

Love these videos

[@fredrick8691]

Thank you for such a wonderful vid. I think the VB was a great piece of tech for its time. A few quality of life tweaks would have made it much more successful. I use mine and really enjoy it.

[@ilan_profile]

I love this videogames documental style of vids, they are really entretainunggg

[@hakonlangeland1210]

You make amazing videos

[@McUnk13]

Hey u know the virtual boy had a reference on lugis mansion 3

[@bernbern309]

I actually got a vb this year at a yard sale.

[@klaassiersma4892]

Nintendo should honor Gunpey Yokoy more and sell a gameboy wearing his name, he and the gameboy made Nintendo where they are now, the virtual boy faling is not his foult, it had more to do with bad desision making by the whole of Nintendo.

[@jamieoiler5690]

it blinded some or gave them seizures that was the fun of it though

[@trendmassacre8423]

You aren't wrong about that, Just hearing about people having seizures or blindness gave me goosebumps filled with excitement.

[@Onotosho]

It's scary that the wii u had similar problems to the virtual boy. Overpriced gimmicky technology that developers had hard time developing for and ultimately abandoned. Battery eating machines that made it hard to enjoy.

[@EBTheOriginalMaster]

Nintendo attempted to do virtual reality again with Nintendo Labo for Switch.

[@jamieoiler5690]

yay mario clash!!!

[@tigmil8116]

It's the only game on the thing I like
