    Default Happy Birthday Virtual Boy !

    Happy birthday, Virtual Boy! Today, exactly ten years ago, our red friend launched in the US. The japanese anniversary was a little while back.

    Let us all remember and celebrite this day when this innovative, before its time, portable came to the market. We should dust off our Virtual Boys for another run of classic Mario Tennis.

    I don't remember the specifics, but I have played with Virtual Boy. I'd given anything to remember when and where and how.

    Just got mine last year and haven't played it since I cleaned it, but I own it just to boast about it to the Nintendo fanboys in my local area.
    Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.

    Happy Birthday to Nintendo's 32-bit red-headed stepchild.

    I enjoy my VB and my meager collection of games for it very much. I think in time, given the unique hardware design of the VB, that this machine will be a highly sought-after part of anybody's console collection on a par with the Vectrex. Get one while you still can.

    Happy Birthday Virtual Boy!

    You were the first console that I competed the library for (with the whopping 14 games that you have).

    Thanks VB, for making the world a more blurry and headache inducing place.
