With VR becoming more and more of the craze, I cant help but think back to the original virtual reality headset
The Virtual boy was essentially the same idea and general premise but it came 20 years to early and nobody was ready for it yet, and the technology wasnt there and nintendo wasn't as capable at the time. And the original was a disastrous failure. The canning resemblance of some of these new VR headsets is stunning.
Nintendo could release Virtual Boy II lol. the internet would go crazy, Nintendo throwing their hat in the VR ring, Slimmer, lighter, perfected Virtual Reality module. It would have a strap this time, a more perfected tripod, It would have a arsenal of titles and it would come with a special Mario tennis optimized for it. It would be revolutionary.
It would explode the VR scene and win the whole world over. Erasing the bad memories of the original virtual boy. Flawless 1080p graphics, no red lights. soothing virtual reality. Mario, Luigi's mansion, it will feel like you are there
I know it most likely wont happen but its a dream of mine to see the VB get a second chance. I loved the concept. It was just bad timing. I hope if Nintendo does release a VR headset they call it virtual boy 2.
The oculus rift, HTC Vive and the PS VR all share similar design with the Virtual Boy. They lack the Nintendo titles though and they lack the Nintendo charm. If Nintendo could release the Virtual Boy 2 and actually put some awesome titles and maybe even implement it with pokemon go they could win the VR race before it even began
