I’d love that, but I think they’ve not been able to do it because they’re not able to get the games properly ported? Which doesn’t surprise me. The VB has so few games and was such a disaster that holding onto them would’ve been difficult at best. And bear in mind that game companies that have reason to hold source code for far more popular things, like, say, Final Fantasy VII or VIII, end up losing them and having serious difficulty with ports.

You know what would be cool? A Virtual Boy Collection for the Switch. Now that they have the VR doodad, re-release all 22 games, or as many as they can get the rights to, in full color.
I had a Virtual Boy as a kid. It was the first console I ever owned. And it made me wonder what the point to consoles were when my computer was far superior.
Wish I’d kept it though. It’d sell for a lot now.
The funny thing about it is, they had the right idea. They were just twenty years too early. Flash forward to 2015 and similar looking stuff is all the rage with proper VR.
