I can’t believe they acknowledged the Virtual Boy ever existed. Why they never ported the games to 3DS is mind boggling.

Yes, it’s called Red Viper and its great! I’m just surprised Nintendo didn’t do it themselves.

There’s also an emulator for the oculus quest, the moment you launch a game you understand why it wasn’t that successful and why VR was abandoned for a while.
Monochrome games are all good and fun when the screen is not a few cm from your eyes and that’s the only color you can see hahahah

Yeah the fact that this already exists and it is pretty much perfect just makes me think that it is a lame move from Nintendo, even if it was meant to be a joke lol.

Obviously. Even for April fools I’m surprised they acknowledged the Virtual Boy ever existed.

Luigis Mansion 3 has a pretty overt acknowledgement of the Virtual Boys existance. The entire in game menu is in one.

Don't worry, they still haven't acknowledged it! This is IGN's video!
