Title: Virtual Boy stuff
Post by: turf on May 02, 2013, 05:17:05 pm
There isn't a place to put Virtual Boy Accessories.  It had an optional AC adapter that was sold seperatly.  It could just be added under Hardware if that's ok with everyone else.  I don't know if there were any other accessories that were avaliable.  That's the only one I know of. So, is there really a need to create a whole new category?

I guess putting it under hardware wouldn't be a back choice. But I can add a Virtual Boy Accessories category pretty easy.

No need.  The more I think about it, it would just clutter things up.  As far as I know there was only 1 accessory.  I'll just add it under hardware.

There were battery packs, too, weren't there?

And Headphones (http://www.ebay.com/itm/181097552724)!

For site completeness, I would add the option. It may not be used a lot but if someone now has an item to add to it, Im sure in the future others will use it too.

Wouldn't the controllers also belong in the accessories category?

If they were also sold separately, yes.

Were they?

Heck if I know, I didn't buy one. Those things hurt my eyes. But I distinctly remember the controllers because they had 2 D-pads.

There are stock controllers in the accessories category of like every other system.

I'm about 97.3% sure that the controllers didn't come separate at retail. You had to order them as a replacement part.

I'm not sure I understand why this is an issue, though. Other consoles have stock-controllers in the accessories category.

If the pads were available, officially or not, then they can be added to the database.

We already keep track of bundle-only controllers that got sold on their own, officially or not, so this isn't any different.

All hardware gets put into the hardware section for Virtual Boy. The name of the console would be Virtual Boy [JP] to denote its region.

If it needs a software category, I can add that too no problem.
