I agree with Knightcrawler in that I also think the video wasn’t as negative as one may perceive. Most of the Youtube reviewers make fun of the console for “not being portable” because you need to plug it into an A/C socket, the games being displayed in red only and its small library of games. They are also comparing it to today’s VR technology and thus the Virtual Boy looks “ancient” in many aspects. I think the Virtual Boy had (has) something going and was ahead of it’s time for what it had to offer. Scott poked a little fun at the system, but yet tried out the games that he had and liked most of them. I just purchased a 3rd Virtual Boy (needs a ribbon repair but works great) because I think it’s a one of a kind console and I wish more Virtual Boys would be saved from the trash or getting destroyed! I love the games and especially the controller since it is one of the most comfortable to use and I hope we see more homebrew games released in the near future. It’s fans like us and Planet Virtual Boy that keep the Virtual Boy alive and strong, no matter what some Youtuber says about it, good or bad.
