MegaSilverX1, did the AVGN video really make you want to buy a VB? His message went the opposite way then 😛
Also, “IT’S NO USE!!”
That AVGN episode is one of my favorites and I was curious to try it and I enjoyed it. So yeah, his message went the other way for me. The episode also has one of my favorite moments from Jame’s videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0jhMPbpeIY
I bought mine after watching the AVGN episode and it was the only Nintendo console I didn’t own besides the Game & Watch games and I really enjoy playing it. I had my older sister and her fiance play it and they seemed to like it.
Are they like the usual red and blue 3D glasses or are they like red and black? I own issue 75 too, but it didn’t come with the glasses so I was just curious.
Editor’s Note: Personally, I disagree with this blog post, as my experience with the Virtual Boy (while good for a few chuckles) resulted in a massive headache after only 20 minutes of play. But even though I disagree, I still found this to be an enjoyable read…but I’ll say that the 3DS’ 3D effect is far superior. 😛
Who’s the jackass who did your editing? I think it’s been well-established by now that anyone who gets a headache from Virtual Boy doesn’t know how to use the IPD and Focus controls.
It’s just his opinion.
I find playing the Virtual Boy in the dark, with the automatic pause feature on, and playing with the IPD and Focus to reduce any chance of getting a headache.
To be fair, it’s the Virtual Boy, a console that to most gamers, is a pile of crap. Plus Faceball doesn’t look like a must have game looking at gameplay, especially for $100 when I can get the SNES and Game Boy versions for much less.
I haven’t played any games that gave me a headache, but I’ve seen let’s plays of Sonic Genesis and that was the only time I got a headache from watching a game. I can’t imagine how bad it could be actually trying the game out.
Watched your playthrough of Mega Man 1 and enjoyed it. I can beat Mega Man 1-8, MM&B, II, IV, and V with little trouble, but I still use the select cheat on the Yellow Devil and Robot Master gauntlet. I’m still new to the site but it’s nice to see a fellow Mega Man fan.
