This was after it had been canceled and the stores were just trying to clear their inventory. I still have the same one that I bought back then and still love and cherish it to this day. Talk about $25 well spent!

P.S. I had to attach the stand backwards to get the right tilt angle. A bit of a useless information, but I still wanted to mention it in case people thought I wasn’t aware.

I was getting tired of slumping over when playing the Virtual Boy and this is way more comfortable.

How many old heads are experiencing something similar to this?

At least our kids don’t have to worry about the terrible battery life! lol

It all started with a reply to a Facebook market ad for a Mario clash game, and a dude asked me if I was interested in Jack Bros I of course, said yes immediately, and we negotiated and made a super extreme deal which I don’t want to disclose. But I immediately went and bought it today! Finally, my complete set of the Virtual Boy North American library it took years but I finally got it. I had posted recently about acquiring this game. And it’s like out of nowhere the opportunity presented itself.

This keychain is awesome

The Nintendo Museum opened in Japan and visitors have posted pictures of the gift shop’s selection of VB merchandise. I saw the VB controller keychain and was immediately enamored. Unfortunately the museum doesn’t have an online store and the 18,500 mile round trip was going to keep it out of my reach.

However, out of the blue, an internet stranger u/kamiakeller reached out and had an extra one for me! Even included some fun Japanese snacks. Thank you so much, again!

Fully 3D Printed Virtual Girl Shell

I’ve been 3D printing a new Virtual Boy shell to customize and I just finished it earlier today. It’s entirely 3D printed in ABS and smoothed it using several spray coats of a 2 in 1 primer/filler. Then I painted it black (let it dry), added a vinyl of my custom logo, and then painted pink over it. Ironically the pink is the exact same can I used about a decade ago on the original. Once it dried, I removed the sticker to reveal the painted logo. The last picture is my actual unit this is replicating.

First time I’ve played the VB in 30 years and it’s just like I remember it. My eyes immediately hurt and I had a headache in 10 minutes. 5 stars and I can’t wait to play more… 🤣

You have to forgive me for not having the eye piece on my original. It didn't came with it and getting one in Europe is not cheap

My favorite VirtualBoy game. So much care put into the level design and the animations.

The fact that they didn’t make a VB emulator on official hardware until now is so lame.

I can finally play my virtual boy on my bed comfortably. Before this, I’d put a brief case on my lap, put the vb on top and I still needed to hunch down to play. Not anymore! I can also move it to my desk to play it too!

I got this adjustable over head tripod on amazon and I also bought a 3d printed vb tripod mount for it aswell and they were pretty easy to install. I put a double sided tape where you tighten the tripod to the desk for more grip and strength.

This honestly looks cool on my desk.

People are making fun of the new Virtual Boy housing for VB Online. But I just kept thinking about the potential of developers, adding VR view to their games. Seeing posts like this make me think, that the VB housing is going to get a lot of use if devs embrace it. What do you think?
