Hi hi! My name’s Bonehead(ed) Braixen, and I collect games to play them and to look cooler than all of my friends. Who are never impressed and instead laugh at me for buying things like the Virtual Boy when I could buy a VR headset or something. J-joke’s on them, I can use it to impress boys on dating apps, I swear!
Seriously, though, I just got this boi last week and my little brother and I love it. The 3D gimmick is really fun and every game seems to at least use the 3D to add some spice an emulator can’t replicate. Hell, I think the gimmick is used to better effect than pretty much every other Nintendo gimmick in history, especially since everyone except M2 pretty much wasted the potential of the 3DS. I bought one because I’m a pretty big Nintendo R&D1 fan, and three of their best games happen to be on this console. The VB community has always impressed me as well, since you guys seem to be dedicated, friendly, and able to pull off miracles of programming despite a large amount of hate, a small community, and wanting for resources probably as much as Sega Saturn fans.
…also the Virtual Boy was the last Nintendo console I needed for my collection (excluding the Switch), so I guess I have more retro street cred now? It seems to impress people for about 5 seconds until they realize I don’t have a Switch.
Pictures related, my current setup (imnotflexing) and a cute shot of my 10-year old brother playing Galactic Pinball after dinner.
