Okay, I know I'm a bit "late to the party" or whatever.... BUT WHAT THE DINGUS?!?
I recently watched the latest Nintendo Direct...and I can tell you this. THE VIRTUAL BOY....NO-ONE ASKED FOR THE VIRTUAL BOY...
I, like many others, was for an actually DECENT Nintendo Online release, but bringing the Virtual Boy, Nintendo's biggest flop, back from the dead is a grave mistake. I believe we're about to witness the second biggest flop in Nintendo's history...the Virtual Boy's grandson!
Firstly, let me just start by saying that the VB with it's, what...seven or so games, is utter crap. I've used the console through emulation ONCE....and I'm sure that you know why I've only used the console once in my lifetime. That headache inducing red/black display still haunts my dreams...
The audacity of Nintendo to not only NOT LISTEN to their fans, but to also bring back their most hated console (that in turn, is "an accessory" that is required to play the small selection of awful games in the first place), in the company's history is simply beyond me. I can imagine that the bulky accessory WILL NOT sell well at all, and will quickly be swept under the rug, with Nintendo acting like it never existed, as they did with the original Virtual Boy...at least until now.
Secondly, I can imagine that they're probably going to charge at least $100 USD or more for the Virtual Boy headset accessory, which is...y'know, just a freaking piece of plastic you sit you Switch inside of with a controller attached to it? It literally brings pretty much NOTHING to the experience....and probably only makes it worse. Makes me wonder how the software will detect whether or not the headset accessory is being used WITH the software... .-.
Thirdly, and finally, What's going on with Nintendo as a whole in current day?? They are loosing their everloving MINDS over the pricing of all of their products...The Switch 2, MarioKart World...I could go on, but frankly just don't want to because of how disgusting it is. Look, I'm all for capitalism, but how do they expect to get revenue from the average consumer by price hiking their products to the extreme?
Overall, I'm really not satisfied with the most current Nintendo events...It's all making me want to move over to Atari.....Yes, Atari..

Of all the things Nintendo does, this is the one you're complaining about?
Dude, this is just ONE of the things I'm pissed about.
I could rant all day about Nintendo being a piece of junk these days.
However, to spare people's sanity, I'll rant about just one of those things.
The decision to bring back their worst-selling, flop of a console!
