I never really used the 3D feature. It was just a souped up DS for me. I did buy the XL version which was a total waste, it gave me terrible motion sickness while playing Animal Crossing and it was too big to hold in my hands comfortably (yes, i have tiny baby hands.) But i loved the OG model of the 3DS. It was great and felt like it was made for me.
Yeah except for the fact that you know what most benefits from 3d and vr. Horror. Know what there’s not a lot of on Nintendo systems. Horror. The closest thing you can get to a jumpscare is fire emblem fates first person camera as you get blasted by a tiger spirit

* Nintendo Direct starts * Hello everyone, I'm Shigeru Miyamoto, Mario's dad, and today I'm here to announce Nintendo's newest creation: the StinkyStinky Mr. F*ck™
I know that the Virtual Boy had its many, many flaws, but as a kid I thought this system was incredible. I played through Mario Tennis, Wario, and the boxing game dozens of times. It was the first system my family was able to get a hold of due to its unpopularity. I will always have fond memories of this abomination.
A few years ago, someone was seeking a virtual boy with a rental case and 6 games, one of them being Jack bros and they wanted $450. I offered $300. Can you guess who didn't end up buying it?
@@darcys842 oh boy, you asked a Canadian historian the right question. So a little background, obviously you know that Canada and GB were at war with Germany and Austro-Hungary. Halifax was the major Canadian port for troop transports, ammunition, and of course explosives. There were 2 ships sailing through the narrowest area in the Halifax Harbour; the SS Imo and the SS Mont Blanc. The Mont Blanc was carrying about 2.7 megatons (27,000,000 kg) of various explosives like picric acid, gun cotton, and gasoline. Basically the two ships collided at like 9:05 am and the Mont Blanc drifted towards pier 6 of the Halifax harbor and exploded. It was the largest non-nuclear explosion in history and leveled every building in a 1.6 mile radius. Lots of civilians were looking at the burning ship through their single pane glass windows of the time. The explosion killed about 1,700 people instantly and permanently blinded hundred of survivors who saw the explosion. The explosion prompted the closest city, Boston to send doctors, construction workers, and any other aid to the city by train as quickly as possible, saving countless lives in the process. To this day Halifax sends Boston a giant fir Christmas tree every year as a gracious thanks for the help they gave us in our time of need.
With the slight difference that the Wii was advertising itself as the casual family fun console and not RADICAL SCI-FI TECHNOLOGY so opening it with a cute sports game made a tad more sense
@@realzenben Yes. Beforehand at the time, only Shin Megami Tensei I & II were available only to Japan. Anything SMT related to reach America was Jack Bros.
My one friend had one as a kid. I saw his brother playing it and said “could I try that” and he just said “you don’t want to”. And that’s the only interaction I’ve ever had with a virtual boy.
I think the fact the Virtual Boy makes a cameo in Luigi's Mansion 3 with the line "It's gonna sell off the shelves fast!" really shows that even Nintendo knew this was a failure
It's also in Smash Ultimate in the "Gamer" stage. Luigi's Mansion 3 was made by a studio in Canada so the sentence found in the game is not by Nintendo themselfs.
Of anyone to know the system was a failure, wouldn’t it be the company who put it out? It’s not like they backed it for 5 years, saw they were losing millions and then were like “what a success!” They stopped putting out games for it in 8 months so obviously 20 years later they know it’s a failure, clearly that’s evident with the Wii U too given all the ports it’s not like some secret knowledge to have lol
@@tituslafrombois1164 I think it wasn't until Tomodachi Life that Nintendo finally acknowledged that "Yes, VB existed, and yes, it was hilariously bad". Before then, they pretended it didn't exist.
@@tituslafrombois1164, Yea I love giving my miis consoles like the wiiu, and ironically they 3ds. So my miis on my 3ds could be playing with miis on their 3ds that is on my 3ds.
My friend calls this thing the "Death Helmet" because of all the theoretical health problems (headaches and such) you can supposedly get from it. So I can't see this thing without thinking of it as the Death Helmet now.
Makes sense, he got the thing that damages your retinas if you're under 7 when he was very under 7. I guess his parents didn't read the big warning on the box
It may have been fake but I do recall a reader letter in Nintendo Power where a girl says her parents got her Virtual Boy for her birthday and all I could think is "There are far easier ways to tell your child you never wanted them"
I got it as a present as a kid and liked it fine. The modern day hype against it isn't reality. It was sad it didn't do well, but my family knew I enjoyed it. I remember playing Red Alarm in the car and feeling like I was moving forward in my ship. Fun times.
@@humanthehuman8016 Thanks! It was obvious pretty quickly it wasn't a huge hit, but like getting it as a kid in those pre-internet times, your immediate impression was only what you thought yourself. I remember being blown away by the detailed, 32-bit sprites in Teleroboxer, for example. Way beyond SNES level spritework. Red Alarm seemed *so* futuristic! It seemed to have so much potential, and I kick myself now that I never knew as a kid that Wario Land VB came out, because I would have loved that. It is weird, the internet has the power to rewrite pre-internet history. I'm sure a lot of people hated it, but I bet most of the people who bought one liked what few games they had. It's like, how can they make a robust game library for a system that sold 770,000? And yet the people who *did* buy it weren't responsible for that, so it sucked. Never regretted getting it, just that it flopped so hard that it was put out to pasture. The 3D effect was striking, and I honestly loved and still love the crazy mix of four shades of red and black coupled with a CPU that put the Gameboy to shame: this thing delivered sprites that looked very modern in 1995. I really missed sprites as 3D graphics took over, and seeing what a step up from even SNES, let alone Gameboy, could do in that area was really cool. A missed opportunity. You can tell from the homebrew scene that there's a lot of potential here. I loved the sound, too. The controller was really ahead of its time. Red Alarm had more modern controls than anything else would for years. Wish there were more games, for sure. Would love to have seen what that Mario Land VB would have been like. A sequel to Link's Awakening on this would have ruled! Looking down into a little diorama filled with Hyrule, how cool would that have been? A Metroid would have been great: the bleak aesthetic of a ruined planet would have meshed great with the crimson monochrome screen. I don't mind people slagging it off, I get it, but it wasn't like that when it came out. You could tell it flopped, but it wasn't like "Why did I buy this?!" It was more like "Damn, but I got this because I wanted games for it!"
@@humanthehuman8016 PS how's the Quest 2? We've got a Rift S and seeing how you can link Quest 2 to the computer makes me really want to sell the Rift 2 and get a Quest 2. Better resolution, better refresh rate, portable, AND compatible with the desktop Oculus library? It would be great just as a portable, 3D-enabled TV you could watch whenever you wanted haha.
@@humanthehuman8016 Haha we def have a Wii U too. We understand. Wow, thanks for the first writeup on the Quest 2! They just enabled "AirPlay" wifi streaming from a PC, so now if we trade in the Rift S for a Quest 2 we could wirelessly play our library of games anywhere at home: back lawn, even. Really ups the value. I didn't even know they were planning that!
I just wanna say that this is Episode 199 of Scott The Woz which means that we're actually on the cusp of Episode 200 which is terrifying Also Scott said he'd be taking a break to work on Episode 200 so keep that in mind
Something tells me that it might be related to Madden 08' like for the 50th, 100th, and 150th episodes or it could be something else and I can be wrong
There have been many comments about Scott’s dedication to a simple short gag, but I think getting hit in the face by a frying pan and then doing a perfectly cut scream takes the cake.
decades later, Nintendo hasn't gotten back on VR when it's the right time and its technology is accessible now, with better colors, not just Red and Black
Actually, the switch has vr goggles and oddly enough, mario Odyssey, breath of the wild, and smash all have vr modes, except none of those games are actually first person in their respective vr modes. So why did they bother if this is all they had planned?
I just realized that this video was uploaded on my 21st birthday. This is the best birthday present I've ever recieved and I'm sorry it took me this long to thank you, Scott.
Learning Scott is 24 (or 23 according to a different reply) is like my parents pointing at a more successful kid my age saying why I didn't pursue that career since we're roughly the same age.
I just rewatched the Borderline Forever bloopers again, and I remember that some other video used the Stinky Stinky Mr F*ck joke they off-handedly made in those bloopers, but I couldn't remember which. Then I randomly stumble across this again.
I like how Nintendo acknowledges that this console was a commercial failure and had Next Level Games joke around with it in Luigi’s Mansion 3 by having E. Gadd say the Virtual Boo (the game’s version of the Virtual Boy) will fly off the shelves.
@@spintowin8971 They better have Amiibo Festival be visible in a trash can alongside having a crate of unsold Animal Crossing Amiibos in future titles.

Halifax was the major Canadian port for troop transports, ammunition, and of course explosives.
There were 2 ships sailing through the narrowest area in the Halifax Harbour; the SS Imo and the SS Mont Blanc. The Mont Blanc was carrying about 2.7 megatons (27,000,000 kg) of various explosives like picric acid, gun cotton, and gasoline.
Basically the two ships collided at like 9:05 am and the Mont Blanc drifted towards pier 6 of the Halifax harbor and exploded. It was the largest non-nuclear explosion in history and leveled every building in a 1.6 mile radius.
Lots of civilians were looking at the burning ship through their single pane glass windows of the time. The explosion killed about 1,700 people instantly and permanently blinded hundred of survivors who saw the explosion.
The explosion prompted the closest city, Boston to send doctors, construction workers, and any other aid to the city by train as quickly as possible, saving countless lives in the process.
To this day Halifax sends Boston a giant fir Christmas tree every year as a gracious thanks for the help they gave us in our time of need.

I think the fact the Virtual Boy makes a cameo in Luigi's Mansion 3 with the line "It's gonna sell off the shelves fast!" really shows that even Nintendo knew this was a failure
It also appears in Tomodachi Life, with all of the miis saying "ALL HAIL THE VIRTUAL BOY"
Nintendo likes to poke fun at themselves sometimes.
It's also in Smash Ultimate in the "Gamer" stage.
Luigi's Mansion 3 was made by a studio in Canada so the sentence found in the game is not by Nintendo themselfs.
Of anyone to know the system was a failure, wouldn’t it be the company who put it out? It’s not like they backed it for 5 years, saw they were losing millions and then were like “what a success!” They stopped putting out games for it in 8 months so obviously 20 years later they know it’s a failure, clearly that’s evident with the Wii U too given all the ports it’s not like some secret knowledge to have lol
@@tituslafrombois1164 I think it wasn't until Tomodachi Life that Nintendo finally acknowledged that "Yes, VB existed, and yes, it was hilariously bad". Before then, they pretended it didn't exist.
@@tituslafrombois1164, Yea I love giving my miis consoles like the wiiu, and ironically they 3ds. So my miis on my 3ds could be playing with miis on their 3ds that is on my 3ds.

Can't blame him. We are talking about Jack Bros. The best Megami Tensei game in the universe.

I remember having a friend in kindergarten who got the thing for his birthday. Now he wears the thickest pair of glasses I’ve ever seen.
Makes sense, he got the thing that damages your retinas if you're under 7 when he was very under 7. I guess his parents didn't read the big warning on the box
He probably had a net gain from it though, those things are expensive

I feel bad for the kids who got their parents to buy this and then never got another game system again because it was such a bad experience
It may have been fake but I do recall a reader letter in Nintendo Power where a girl says her parents got her Virtual Boy for her birthday and all I could think is "There are far easier ways to tell your child you never wanted them"
I got it as a present as a kid and liked it fine. The modern day hype against it isn't reality. It was sad it didn't do well, but my family knew I enjoyed it. I remember playing Red Alarm in the car and feeling like I was moving forward in my ship. Fun times.
@@humanthehuman8016 Thanks! It was obvious pretty quickly it wasn't a huge hit, but like getting it as a kid in those pre-internet times, your immediate impression was only what you thought yourself. I remember being blown away by the detailed, 32-bit sprites in Teleroboxer, for example. Way beyond SNES level spritework. Red Alarm seemed *so* futuristic! It seemed to have so much potential, and I kick myself now that I never knew as a kid that Wario Land VB came out, because I would have loved that. It is weird, the internet has the power to rewrite pre-internet history. I'm sure a lot of people hated it, but I bet most of the people who bought one liked what few games they had. It's like, how can they make a robust game library for a system that sold 770,000? And yet the people who *did* buy it weren't responsible for that, so it sucked. Never regretted getting it, just that it flopped so hard that it was put out to pasture. The 3D effect was striking, and I honestly loved and still love the crazy mix of four shades of red and black coupled with a CPU that put the Gameboy to shame: this thing delivered sprites that looked very modern in 1995. I really missed sprites as 3D graphics took over, and seeing what a step up from even SNES, let alone Gameboy, could do in that area was really cool. A missed opportunity. You can tell from the homebrew scene that there's a lot of potential here. I loved the sound, too. The controller was really ahead of its time. Red Alarm had more modern controls than anything else would for years. Wish there were more games, for sure. Would love to have seen what that Mario Land VB would have been like. A sequel to Link's Awakening on this would have ruled! Looking down into a little diorama filled with Hyrule, how cool would that have been? A Metroid would have been great: the bleak aesthetic of a ruined planet would have meshed great with the crimson monochrome screen. I don't mind people slagging it off, I get it, but it wasn't like that when it came out. You could tell it flopped, but it wasn't like "Why did I buy this?!" It was more like "Damn, but I got this because I wanted games for it!"
@@humanthehuman8016 PS how's the Quest 2? We've got a Rift S and seeing how you can link Quest 2 to the computer makes me really want to sell the Rift 2 and get a Quest 2. Better resolution, better refresh rate, portable, AND compatible with the desktop Oculus library? It would be great just as a portable, 3D-enabled TV you could watch whenever you wanted haha.
@@humanthehuman8016 Haha we def have a Wii U too. We understand. Wow, thanks for the first writeup on the Quest 2! They just enabled "AirPlay" wifi streaming from a PC, so now if we trade in the Rift S for a Quest 2 we could wirelessly play our library of games anywhere at home: back lawn, even. Really ups the value. I didn't even know they were planning that!

Scott has an infinite budget.
Someone needs to add up all the money he said he spent throughout the video

My eyes nearly popped out of my head when he said he spent 500 dollars on Space Invaders.
Yeah. It would make sense if he spent that much on a space invaders arcade cabinet, maybe, but a VB game?
I just wanna say that this is Episode 199 of Scott The Woz which means that we're actually on the cusp of Episode 200 which is terrifying
Also Scott said he'd be taking a break to work on Episode 200 so keep that in mind
