To anyone living these kind of fantasy consoles I always recommend TIC-80 as it is a open source alternative. Feature full. And overall more powerful.

Would be cool if there was a little description of what this is, please.

CaptainBasculin,

It’s a fantasy console, a console that has its specifications to achieve the old-style programs on it but isn’t limited to run on certain hardware.

victorz,

Sounds very niche.

chronicledmonocle,

It’s actually really neat. You should check it out.

victorz,

For $12–14, to test something I’m probably not interested in sinking time into, I think I have to pass. Thank you for the suggestion though!

Magnum,

How much are you willing to pay to test something and have an experience? $15 isn’t that much.

Also, games for it are written in a high level language (Lua) which makes it significantly easier to get into than actual old hardware.

Phytobus,

I had never heard of it either, but their website does a pretty good job of explaining it.

SlartyBartFast, do games w Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Release Date Trailer (December 4)

I love Metroid games ever since I heard they were named after the Metroidvania genre of games, and also when I played Metroid for NES as a kid

Iunnrais,

Did you mistype, employ sarcasm, or were you not aware that the genre is named after Metroid, not the other way around? Metroidvania— games employing similar experiences to Metroid and some of the more notable Castlevania games.

SlartyBartFast,

Woosh

Iunnrais,

I suspected as such, that’s why I asked for clarification.

This looks so ass.

I recently discovered what this is on my handheld and there are come really fun games. I’ve been playing Celeste Classic today and another that was an Outrun-esque that I forget the name of.

I am maybe in the minority around here. I am excited to play around with these games. Also, even though the narrator says you need to buy the accessory, I suspect the Labo thing or any of the cheap Switch VR headsets will do the trick, and that’s what I’m intending to use.

I like how the comment there is basically AVGN quote.

Also, seriously, with VR being a thing now, why don’t they make Virtual Boy 2 with Power Glove 2 as a controller?

4am,

As much as we like to shit on Nintendo now for how expensive they are; they are still the cheapest console. By a lot.

No way they can create a quality VR experience and keep the price below everyone else.

Surely they could get in the Meta Quest price range.

Or make a Power Glove that works.

Oh god. They didnt even improve upon the BODY in any way. They could have at least made the feet longer so it stands a bit taller.

Even when I was a kid, the VB was super short and uncomfortable to use as intended. I always just laid back in bed and just let it lay on my face 😅

Incredibly cursed. Who asked for this.

Their shareholders, I suppose.

CosmoNova, do games w Virtual Boy: Nintendo Classics - Announcement Trailer

So they‘re selling a literal piece of plastic that becomes utterly useless the moment you lose access to their subscription service. Also, 14 games that they plan to release over time? Damn they must hate their customers with a passion.

If the recent pathetic patent filings were not enough to finally wake you up to what an awful company Nintendo are I don’t know what to tell you.

ch00f,

lol the actual Virtual Boy only had 11 titles.

PonyOfWar,

22 titles actually, of which 14 were released in the US.

It's a VB-themed redesign of the Labo VR kit. Should presumably be compatible with everything Labo VR supported (like, three titles I think?). Maybe the fact that they're bringing it back means they might reuse it in the future?

PonyOfWar,

This doesn’t have the head tracking capabilities of the VR kit, as you only insert the Switch which doesn’t have a gyro without the joycons.

missingno,
@missingno@fedia.io avatar

Apparently they're selling two versions. One is the full scale VB, and that's clearly a collector's item. The other is the VB-themed Labo VR.

frezik,

I’m one of the Virtual Boy’s only fans. I don’t own a Switch 2 and don’t have plans to. I might just buy the accessory as a display piece.

EldritchFeminity,

At that point, why not just 3d print one or something. Save money by not giving it to a scummy company, and hey, throw a raspberry pi in there or something with an emulator and you can probably actually run Virtual Boy games on it.

Euphoma,

I believe the accessory works with switch 1 also, but its also really expensive at like 140 usd

God forbid they just released the entire library at once. Total of 5 megabytes 🥳

Who asked for this?

Executives that are banking on nostalgia of gamers with disposable income and little sense to see through their greed.
