The behind-the-scenes story of the Virtual Boy is actually quite sad. :(

It’s so bad.
 
…did I say that right?
The virtual boy works best when paired with a power glove.

I don’t believe I’ve tried it.
 
Also, in Super Smash Bros. Melee, the “collection” of Trophies you earn displays various game consoles and handhelds on the shelf in the background, including the Virtual Boy. I read somewhere that if you switch the language to Japanese, the consoles will switch to their Japanese designs, and the VB is absent (as it wasn’t released there).

I ed this and this as a single commercial.

I think you mean the Super Mario Land 2 commercial.
The main thing I about Virtual Boy was the incessantly-played commercial with Wario’s floating head.

I said thinking that Nintendo was behind his death is stupid, if you don;t think that then I’m not calling you stupid.  
Next time understand what is said before you tell someone to think twice.  
Also as I said it’s noted it was his own decision to leave, not fired.

No, I’m aware that it wasn’t Nintendo’s fault that he died. I was told a few years ago that they did fire him, though.
 
So think twice before calling someone “stupid”, okay? Okay.
@HighRollerHydra  
Nintendo official stance about the birtual boy is that it never existed, so they avoid talking about it. I doubt that they would re-release any of it’s games. What is a shame, Teleroboxer would be perfect for the 3DS.

He also made the Wonderswan for Bandai before his death, though I think it was released posthumously.

He left on his own even finished up the Game Boy Pocket as a “going-away present”, he wasn’t fired and thinking Nintendo had anything to do with his accident is just play stupid.

People still believe that Nintendo arranged Gunpei Yokoi’s car accident?

@FloydPinkerton  
Why yes. It’s what got Gunpei Yoko (think I spelled it right) fired AND killed.
I’m surprised 50 people on Derpibooru what this is.

I suppose Nintendo COULD re-release them on 3DS, with color graphics and such.
@Prof.NightJack  
I don’t like emulators, I played them om emulators before, but they would be so much better to play on the 3DS.

In this case emulators are you friends.
The worst part is, the console may have sucked, but several of the games were great, and because the console sucked Nintendo is never gonna port those games to the virtual console.

I’m not afraid of things touching my eyes but they irritated real easy so I don’t want to get s, even the ones for sensitive eyes.
