They should have released that during the 3DS era. Or at least during the 2-3 months where they sold the cardboard VR LABO attachment.

    In case you haven’t seen it, there’s a VB emulator for 3DS and it’s awesome!

    These absolute madmen are selling the Virtual Boy again. Reminds me of that time when Morbius got a second run in theaters. If you can play the games without the accessory it's fine, but that thing flopped for a reason!

    but that thing flopped for a reason!

    And the games were not that reason.

    Well the super small library of games sure didn’t help…

    But the games that were released are very well made (Nintendo and third party) and some even pushed the hardware in ways you usually didn’t see until several years into a console’s life cycle.

    Officially being allowed to play these games without that damned headset will give a lot of these titles a second following.
