Nobody asked for this bro

Next up is the Switch 2 rerelease of Hotel Mario

Lmfao officially the worst direct of all time

how the fuck do you drip feed virtual boy theres like 3 good games on there

Tell me why your accessory looks like the turret from @TeamFortress

Would’ve been really neat if Zero Racers, the F-Zero spin-off that was cancelled at the last minute, was included When I say cancelled at the last minute, I mean the box art was done and it was rated by the ESRB, basically ready to launch Maybe it could be included post launch?

This feels like an April fools prank.

Add this and I promise your subscriptions will skyrocket

Who tf wants to pay extra for the expansion pack + an accessory to play games that gave people headaches?? 🤦‍♂️

Scott the Woz in shambles right now

Wasn’t the whole point of the Nintendo Virtual Boy failing was it was uncomfortable, impractical, and almost impossible to use? Honestly these should have been released on the 3DS where you wouldn’t even need the goggles. Who am I kidding. I’ll probably end up buying it 🤦‍♂️

I remember renting Virtual Boy with "Mario's Tennis" from Blockbuster for a weekend.

22 games were released for Virtual Boy, now being reduced to 14…?

This is actually extremely exciting, I can finally play VB Wario Land!

Virtual Boy games on the Switch just won’t be the same without the headache and neck strain… 😏 (Still… look forward to playing VB Wario Land again!)

This would've been perfect a decade ago on the literal dedicated 3D console you made but ok

Mr Virtual:

It requires a peripheral? The VB was a failure, it was too early. The library is basically all tech demos. Why does it require you buy something?

I'mma just cross my eyes for free.

DO NOT PLAY IT FOR OVER 15 MINUTES

No one asked for this. Swing and Fail

HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!

You already know…

Virtual Boy coming to NSO! So get your face ready.

And the accessory is what ? $150? $200? 😭😭

Literally nobody asked for ts 💀

YOU WHAT?! 😱
