Yes it did desrve more than it got but at the time it didn’t stand much of a chance.
Press hated it, cost a heap, rushed to be released, assumed wrongly as the successor to the Gameboy (having ‘boy’ in the title made that one stick). Along with a stack of other issues all been outlined before (ie I’m too lazy to dig em out and re-iterate whats been said before).
If only it had been relaunched as was planned, we might have at least had some of the 2nd generation gems, Dragon Hopper etc, even if it only managed another year on the shelf.
But at least it did get released, imagine if all we ever got were a few pre-release photos and statements, then nothing, got pulled before production.

If Virtual Boy would of succeeded we’d have full color Virtual Boys by now and that would be beyond sweet. 🙂 In stead of having to settle for a 3d full color system where zelch flys off of the screen. Is that really 3d yes and no? You don’t go to a 3d movie to see depth, but to see things fly in your lap now that’s the wow factor that only the V.B. could offer!
