You may have seen, but Guy Perfect started making a Virtual Boy Emulator for 3DS, and has been updating semi-regularly; and yeah the prototype stuff is pretty cool too. That’s as much I can think of off the top of my head, at this late a time.

This is all sounding really awesome!

Awesome!

I was wondering when this would happen, but I still have faith in this project (even if I regrettably cannot invest) – you’re doing a great job GuyPerfect, so keep on chipping away at it!

Nice Thunderstruck! (Looks like I’ve “graduated” to become a VB gamer as well).

Thanks RetroNintendoNerd :)… Buuuut I’ve still only about halfway through (I’ll get there though).

Time again to stop stalking the site and start posting! I’m really glad that as a community we can be transparent with each other and share these things, and that everybody on the site is kind enough to reply; that said, I really do hope he gets better ASAP! 🙂

I’m not really sure if this could work; a motif of the Classic series is that the form factor is smaller than the original so it can be differentiated easily and be a cool item to display. Obviously Nintendo could make a smaller headset, but I feel like they’d have to sacrifice either the original design for size or keep the original design but make it not as small in comparison to the original console as the other Classics, and I’m not sure Nintendo would want to make either compromise. The former also applies to the rest of Nintendo’s portable systems.

Regardless, I would love for Nintendo to find a way to make a Classic Virtual Boy, or for them to port all the games to Switch (or 3DS… because that thing is still alive, but with GuyPerfect working on the emulator it no longer feels like a necessity). I could be wrong about all this, however.

Another thing I’d love to see is for Nintendo to make sequels to the series they started on Virtual Boy, for example, Teleroboxer… I don’t see this ever happening though. Thus far I’ve been satisfied with Nintendo even acknowledging its existence in things such as Tomodachi life (All hail Virtual Boy!), and the video for E3 2015 where they announced the Nintendo World Championships were coming back – which only makes me think about how cool it would be for some Virtual Boy games to be featured in that!

Those logos are awesome! I think my favourite besides the original is the second :).

A fair point for sure.

Ah, my bad. My point still stands, however, in that the Virtual Boy is powerful enough to run SNES games (… I think), but yeah… colour could be a prominent problem for a lot of games… but it might work for some???

As for the lack of 3d – I was hoping that someone else would have ideas for making it so that there wasn’t a lack of 3d, like some sort of software built into the chip for generic 3d on games. Again, I don’t actually know for sure that it would all work out; but if it did, I think it would be pretty cool :P.
