So I noticed that the AVGN has re-released his Virtual Boy episode in a higher resolution. The interesting thing? I look at the comments, and the majority of it isn’t actually saying anything spiteful against the VB, as I expected!

It seems like people have become more educated about just what this system was, and there’s even of interest from a bunch of people who want to play the games that were on the system.

I wonder if it’s because 3D in general is more widely accepted now (thanks in part to Nintendo’s 3DS), and because of the Oculus Rift looming on the horizons… Frankly, it makes me pretty happy to see these responses.

Many of those people commenting negatively probably never even played a VB in their life. The positive comments seem like they want to check out the VB library of games.

Even though the review is generally negative towards the VB, I think it is also getting people interested in the console. If only they could see the 3D aspect, which is in my opinion very well done.

It also makes me cringe how the AVGN slams the console around lol. He’s going to crack that plastic medallion.
