So this happened.  It is not being sold online as that would, of course, draw the ire of Capcom.  But does anyone know how to get a hold of it?

Well in the video, he said "It's not for sale, so don't bother looking". 
I think he also mentioned that there are several copies, and that they probably won't be able to sell it, containing Capcom property and what-not.

A commenter on the linked article suggested porting VB games to the 3DS. That actually sounds like an interesting idea.

Am I alone in thinking that Virtual Boy Wario Land in full color on the 3DS would be completely awesome?

The most pointless, but almost most interesting of ports lol

A full colour Virtual Boy Wario Land the 3DS with an actual colour palette instead of just shades of red? That would be pretty cool. I'd buy that. :D It would be cool if there was some kind of Virtual Boy compilation cartridge for the 3DS that had upgraded ports of all the Virtual Boy games. That's a little unrealistic though, even though there aren't that many VB games. :(

I'd buy this in a heartbeat if I could. If anyone finds a site or person making these please let me know. Long as it's not insanely over priced I'll buy it.

I figured Nintendo would use the 3DS to reintroduce Virtual Boy games in the Virtual Console as, honestly, that could not be more obvious.  But apparently Nintendo does not understand obvious ideas.
