Happy birthday Virtrual Boy, I know I’m late but still had to say it. I remember this day, the shop with all the publicities, the posters on the shop’s window, all the articles in the magazines, people talking about it with somes stupids rumors but nobody knew what to expect. In my mind what just like, “oh my Miyamoto, what would be amazing, I mean virtal reality by Nintendo, that can only be awesome!”. But Jesus wasn’t in my side, I was just beside him in the sky, yeah I know that suck to not be born at this time, and he tolds me than he doesn’t trust in this console, and it happened that it happened. I lose my bet so he sents me on earth and I born a little after….stupid bet!

It was 20 years ago…thank you Nintendo to still try new concept for best or worst!

Welcome Vuefinder83! ^^

Wow! Impressive stuff, is like a professional developer program. Is cool to allow others to enjoy!

Hello and welcome Coupe_sherm! 🙂

I do not know this game but it look awesome. I hope you will finish the game quickly, I wish you good luck!

My condolences for Red Metal (Al Hansen), R.I.P.

This is not surprising Nintendo never brings back days of past failures. All the old Nintendo games that come with their new consoles are successfully games (Game & Watch, NES, SNES, Game Boy/Color/Advence, N64 and GameCube), you will never find games from the Virtual Boy, Satellaview, Nintendo 64DD, etc.

Nintendo knows when they bury the failure immediately, they would never speak to or will know the current players. When Nintendo has announced the 3DS they doesn’t make any references to the Virtual Boy, like they never try to do stereoscopic 3-D before. In Japan they are pefectionist, for them failure doesn’t exist, isn’t like in occident where people don’t had problem to talk about fails and laught with it.

It is in their mentality, I don’t say is bad or good is just a fact. Look SquareEnix for exemple, they have put all the old Final Fantay in news consoles, why? Because Final Fantasy is a series success. But for Radical Dreamer, because is a failure, they never talks about this game so hard than a majority of Chrono’s fan don’t even the game exists.

For Nintendo, at the moment when the Virtual Boy was a failure, the Virtual Boy disappeared from our world. Of course if you ask them directly if the Virtual Boy exists they will say “Yes”, they’re not stupid or amnesiac. But they will never consider the Virtual Boy in anything. Is extremely rare to saw Japanese people to highlight their failure. The only exception I know is Sega with the Dreamcast, who made Dreamcast’s collection, etc, and is only because they need money, so they don’t have choice.

So if you want my opinion, Nintendo will never does anythnig who that reminds the Virtual Boy, like for all they failure… Is too bad for people who want to discover these invention but at the same time Nintendo can working to new project. I understand than you hope a tribute for the Virtual Boy and me too, but for Nintendo is more suitable to care for the future…

Not bad, you play the piano well 🙂

If we want to have the Flash Boy in Europe we must contact VBmills? Swizertland has a specail price? Because the country isn’t in the EU so…

Wow, in one month you did more than me in my whole life…

I really wish you good luck with your project.

Sorry Arvester I don’t live in France but in Switzerland in front of Lake Geneva/Léman.

That said, I’m not Swiss but French. Warning, it makes no false advertising here!

Another new member? Welcome to the club and on the website too!

I think Lester Knight is right and that you make references to the games in English. However, be more specific, because not all VB games were release in North America. So if you want all the games except Golf and Baseball, they will not all be in English. You have 8 exclusive games for Japan.

But if you really want an UK game, as said before, unfortunately this is not possible. The VB was never released in Europe…

Thank you for the welcome.
