Everybody else doing SWITCH videos?! I do a VIRTUAL BOY video! #DroptheMic

This is perfect since Kelsey and the Virtual Boy both use a stand.

I will never forgive Nintendo for not releasing Virtual Boy games on the 3DS Virtual Console. With the 3DS probably being Nintendo's last ever 3D console, it was the one chance to get Virtual Boy games on a more accessible platform, and that chance is pretty much gone.

I've always played the virtual boy laying down. Anyway else would be uncivilized.

am I the only one glad to that this isn't a switch video? everyone today is uploading switch videos. Thanks Metal Jesus for being different :)

I literally found one in the trash. That was a great day.

"It was marketed as a portable game system! Yeah, portable. My ass is portable!"

When he said "big and solid like me" I think he was referring to his body size yah nasties lol

You forgot to answer the real question on everyone's mind. How do the cartridges taste!?

[solofalcon]

If you emulate the virtual boy, you can change the colors from black/red to gameboy colors.

AVGN had a great mod to this system so he can wear it on his head.

Kelsey is a plethora of knowledge, I always love when she is on the show!

Got my Virtual Boy for $40 last year. It has a scratch on the lens but... I have a Virtual Boy!

Kelsey, don't forget to look at metal jesus.

Metal Jesus uses proper dynamic compression on his audiotracks. Be like Metal Jesus.

When I was a kid, I saw a large spider crawl into one of the cracks of my virtual boy. i never wanted to use it anymore after that for fear of a spider crawling onto my face when I played it, then my mom threw it out after i went away to college. Years later I think it's time I get it again.

I have really wanted a Virtual Boy for years. I have great memories of playing VB Wario Land back in the 90’s.

[davidmedina]

I still have mine, had pretty fun times back in the day. I was around 7 y.o. and I remember it was my dad the one who told me to buy it and I saved half the price and he put the other half. Nostalgia, by Veidt.

Great guide! I picked up a Virtual Boy and a flash cartridge awhile back, looking forward to having some time to play with it soon!
