Nintendo Virtual Boy Console - Red and Black

Such an underrated product, sold for such a short amount of time!

I personally had a blast with my Virtual Boy, and went through 2 more of them. Now as a Collectors Item I'm trying to keep the ones I have in super working condition. The games are still relatively inexpensive to find, and are turning into great collectors items. It's a total throwback to fledgling 90's "3D" compared to today's standards, but Nintendo was ahead of the game at the time, no doubt about that.Read full review

The beautiful failure otherwise known as the Virtual Boy

This thing is a part of gaming history. One of Nintendo's biggest flops, the Virtual Boy's monochromatic colors of red and black, the headaches after playing too long and the anti-social nature of the console was what ultimately sunk this once promising system. But it's Nintendo. If you're a fanboy of the brand or a serious game collector at all, you'd be remiss to not own this curious piece of Nintendo's sometimes murky past. Plus, you know you're curious to plunge your face into that black void and see what all the fuss is about :)Read full review

The notorious Nintendo flop

The virtual boy has a very small library of games, which can all fit in the averages person hand.
By no means is this the video game system to indulge yourself in for hours on end.
The games are simple and short, the graphics are fair for the time and i wouldn't play for more then 20 minute stretches. None the less this system is a Nintendo collectors dream and has some decent games, definitely a good conversation piece. A must have for any serious game collectorRead full review

A red and black blast from the past

I bought a virtual boy new in 1996 at Target for about 25 USD, and actually liked it a lot. The graphics were simple, but the added 3D effect was amazing (back then). Also the controller is beautifully laid out, and fits perfectly in my hands; why the N64 didn't take a cue from the controller by switching the d pads out with analog sticks will forever annoy me.

Please note that those under 12 shouldn't play it, and another half of the population will experience nausea or eye fatigue within 15-20 minutes; so try before you buy.Read full review

Virtual Boy: 1995 meets 2021

Playing this machine is like stepping back in time. A unique offering that at the same time feels like familiar mid90s Nintendo. The red and black graphics are sharp and the controller is very comfortable to hold. Once you get your set up right, you can minimize strain on the neck and eyes. Wide variety of game offerings and they are worth tracking down! The sound from this machine sounds as good as it must have 26 years ago! I felt like a teen once again as I only got to try this console at a toys r us display in ‘95. Well worth collecting and playing if you long for a simpler time for the big N! While not perfect, it is full of charm!Read full review
