Very cool! Maybe the next thing you can cast is a “period” key for your keyboard. ;>)

Yes, I’m quite sure that Nintendo would want to name a new product after one of the biggest failures in corporate history. And I understand that they’ll be serving “Newer Coke” at the trade show booth.

It’s heavy and solid. The guy in Japan just wrapped it in some brown craft paper, and dropped it in the mail. Survived just fine.

They were given to the sales reps who went into the stores to set up displays, etc. I’m sure there were a fair number distributed, but probably not a lot still left. I have one. It’s a Large, but it’s big on me. If someone wants to trade for a Medium, let me know.

Nice piece, but it didn’t appear to have the Japan-only (AFAIK) floor plate – a large, heavy metal plate you stand on while playing. The plate hooks over the bottom legs of the display unit, but isn’t physically attached to it. Fortunately, I was in Japan a number of years ago, and met a guy who had the foot plate on his display. I was able to work a deal for the foot plate, so now it’s on my US display unit.

I’m told that, when the VB died, Nintendo reps went around tossing these units. Shame.

I printed it out, using the “booklet” setting, and it automatically printed in the proper booklet format, with 2-sided printing. Nice. Now I just need to cut it to size and staple it in the middle.

Nice! Thanks!

“Virtual & Boy”? That’s a dealbreaker.

Late to the game, as always, but count me in!

I happen to live near DogP, and we hang out on occasion. He recently repaired the displays on all 3 of my VB displays, and I am quite the happy camper. Thanks, again, DogP!
