Nah, that would be ridiculous. If Nintendo wanted to give everyone headaches, they wouldn't have to make the screen red, just 3 little lights in a circle on the console...

I was going to post this yesterday, but I'm convinced it's an April Fool's by VC-Reviews (which they posted a day early).

Actually i really wanted the Virtual Boy to come to the wii virtual console but now im thinking it was an april fools joke because i contacted nintendo and they gave me this:

Hello and thank you for contacting Nintendo,

We appreciate hearing about the types of products that you would like to see from us in the future. While there hasn't been an announcement concerning the addition of any Virtual Boy games for the list of Virtual Console games available on the Wii console, you never know what the future holds! As the worldwide leader and innovator in the creation of interactive entertainment, and because of our history of pushing the limits of gameplay and design, you can always count on Nintendo offering the most imaginative products.
In the meantime, keep checking our website's "What's New" section (http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew) for the latest information and announcements.

Sincerely,

Nintendo of America Inc.

The Virtual Boy has 9 games total. It's not going to happen. They also have Wiiware now. Nintendo may recycle some VC games they felt were worth saving. This is one of those reality check situations.

Oh boohoo. I was off by a few. Half of them aren't even worth playing. But instead of bitching about how bad they are, watch this instead. All will become clear after you watch this.

Who here actually has a VirtualBoy? *raises hand*

I bought one and a bunch of games cheap when they were all being liquidated at huge discounts.

The Virtual Boy could have been a more sucessful product if Nintendo had planned it out more thouroughly. From what I've seen, it was uncomfortbale and mundane. Not to mention the red display...
