      @Dan Schaller It's still called the PS1, just because the original model wasn't printed with "PSOne" doesn't make it "not a PS1". Either way, PS1 is a retronym for the platform, not just one specific model. If you want to be more clear, call that the Slim PS1, because FUN FACT: There was an actual system called the "PSX" which was a Japan-exclusive DVR-PS2 hybrid.

If I'm not mistaken, this was the first sports game that Nintendo ever made and I think it deserves a bit of credit for that. Another game that I really enjoyed was Vertical Force. It gave the side scrolling shooter an extra dimension to play in, which was pretty cool for the time.
    The best way to play was to lay down, rest the stand on your chest, and disable the auto pause feature. I used to play for hours at a time and never once felt sick or had a headache. However I should mention that I did get glasses shortly afterwards, probably related.

    Fun video here! It's always neat seeing people's first experience with it as reactions are always astonishment to various degrees for obvious reasons.
    Mario's Tennis has a bit of depth to it you may have missed via it's controls and ball height. If you use A, hits the ball hard, B is soft. For the mind games. However, you can also direct the ball as you hit it using the d-pad. down is short, up is long, left and right points the ball to the corresponding sides. If the ball is above your head, you will perform a lob shot. Overall, it's really not that bad and seems a lot like a precursor to the next Mario Tennis on the N64. The only real problem is it's on the Virtual Boy. XD
    I know nothing about "Hyper Fighting" though, other than that there was supposed to be a Street Fighter II on the Virtual boy, but didn't happen because the Virtual Boy didn't last long.
    The best game on it is probably Wario Land, so if you can try it, do so. Another good one is Golf, though only has one course. Of course there's also V-Tetris with standard and a mode that's like playing two boards that you can "cycle" one column at a time.

I finally was able to buy one later on, and to have one of these as a kid was absolutely amazing. I had Mario’s tennis and warrio land and warrio was the only game I ever beat.

    I'd love a series on failed products! Do one on the Google glass.

      Google Glasses failed for the mainstream audience, but are actually used by a lot of big companies.
      In fact, these days there are a couple of different manufacturers for AR glasses that all build them specifically for industrial and manufacturing works.

    The Virtual Boy was made by Gunpei Yokoi, the same person who made the Game & Watches and the Game Boy. He was sure the Virtual Boy would be a success due to his past successes... But it failed. He blamed it all on himself and left Nintendo shortly after. He then moved on to Bandai to make a new handheld called the Wonderswan... but he then died in a car crash one month before the Wonderswan was released.

    I had one of these, the only game I remember is mario tennis, and honestly it was really cool at the time.. Its just when you would play it for more than an hour you would get a headache from basically any position you tried to play it in, coupled with the straining red light on the eyes.. but still the games were boppin.
    Plus you gotta think at the time, the two consoles that were out were super nintendo and the sega genesis.. and the 3d was actually pretty good, it does seem to have the almost blue and red glasses effect you see at some movies or w.e.. I always laid on my bed though, and then balanced the things across my eyes.

    I read about the vb in 94 before launch and really wanted it. I didn't actually get one until they were in clearance and I loved it. My kids and I played it all the time. And none of us suffered any health effects. Infrared multiplayer would have helped it a lot.

      RISC, still a classic line and among the many many moments in the film showing how little the writers knew about computers/hacking.
