    Gunpei was not laid off by Nintendo, he actually worked on the Game Boy pocket before he left to start his own company.

    It's a good thing they called the game Red Alarm. It would have been an ironic problem if they would have called it Green Alarm or Blue Alarm. Well I guess they could have called it Black Alarm.

    NTSC Virtual Boy complete in box aren't too easy to find, plus they are very wanted making them quite pricey. I've had mine for a while so I'm not up to date on current prices

  • @emmettturner9452
    @emmettturner9452 8 лет назад +1

    It is the US version but it isn't "NTSC." There is no way to simply connect it to an NTSC-format display. He quit in shame, which is very different than being "laid off." I bought mine on clearance from Wal-Mart for $30. The free battery offer was already expired but I sent off for them anyway and got them!

    As a MASSIVE fan of the Virtual Boy (yes really), its so hard to watch a SEALED Virtual Boy get opened. Also Gunpei Yokoi was never laid off, he quit himself over his failure. He made the GameBoy Pocket, left, made a Gaming/Toy company, created the BANDAI WonderSwan, and then died in a car crash

    Thanks for sharing. Did this include the A/C power adapter and plug? I believe Nintendo used an identical wall wart A/C power adapter as used with the SNES. I think it even uses the SNES logo font IIRC.

    this item was way befor its time, if this would have been made with the technology of oculus rift it would have been legendary.
    also if they woouldnt rush realesing it and have it on hold for a few years nintendo would gain huge profit.
    shame t never realesed in europe, i would definetly have played it as child

    Did you try using the focus settings on top? Also do you need to wear glasses or contacts? From my experience its unplayable unless i have my contacts or glasses on. Also i must adjust the focus switches. Then i can play it for hours no problem.

    I would say the Remote feels well. Rather a Nintendo 64 look. I would say that the look and feel was well supported to created the Gamecube Controller. I can play my Virtual Boy for hours. Really fun device, sad it did not see the light of day for that long.

      The only "mod" I've ever heard for this is opening it up and soldering the ribbon cables, because Nintendo built the thing cheaply and glued the ribbon cables to the board instead of soldering them. Because of Nintendo's design choices, the optics fail on every virtual boy, unless you have the ribbon cables soldered. But yes, there are some homebrew games for it.

    So did it ever occur to the developers if the Virtual Boy that putting eyes on the screen is FRIGGING STUPID! Reason 1 ITS STUPID! Reason 2 What if you play a game for like hours and since your eyes are to close to the screen like really close.........YOUR EYES WILL START TO and YOU WOULD BE BLIND WITHING A COUPLE OF DAYS SINCE YOU PLAY FOR HOURS AND HOURS unless there is a way for it to not happened.Like I said......
