Virtual Boy 3DS Mock-up

Retro revival is always a good thing in my book

This broke that rule for me.

Virtual Boy games would be awesome. They were the first things I thought of for the 3DS eShop. I just hope that if they are ported, they aren't true ports. That is, they have something called COLOUR in them, and not just red and black.

Hey, we might even finally get to see the Virtual Boy games that would have used multiplayer. Then if we get some hardcore hackers, they might even be able to get them off the 3DS and onto the actual Virtual Boy console.... Well, I'm kinda dreaming here, but that'd be EPIC if it were possible.

Oh, and by the way, you don't need to turn the 3DS off to take out the SD card. Who cares? It's not like it's gonna corrupt it...... Do you turn off your computer before you take out a USB drive? Maybe if you're dumb. The only time the 3DS has a fit is if you're in the camera or sound apps.

the virtual boy has a perfect charm which welcomes you to play its warm and inviting red graphics. while they were limited by the technology at the time, playing it now i would not want it any other way. the red graphics never stress my eyes, cause me any fatigue, etc. i find that with the 3ds i get tired and find it hard to focus on the character in the foreground after my eyes adjust to the background.

"hackers" have already constructed a VB 2player cable and there are a couple of homebrew titles that can use it. you need two flash kits, two virtual boy systems, and some time to build the cable. their have been plans made to build cables for the community, however, the vb community being as small as it is it takes a long time for things to happen.

when i take out a usb drive i "eject" it from the pc. this effectively stops the reading and writing of the flash drive so that it data will not corrupt. the 3ds does not have this ability which is why they recommend that you do not take it out while the 3ds is on, as it could be actively reading/writing to the sd card. it is rather easy to corrupt sd cards, something you might want to consider when you are ripping it out of your system.

Clearly you don't know what "retro" actually means.
