Can we all agree that this is irony/meme culture's final nail in the coffin?
I don't think they're even trying to be ironic, just serving up some more crap because Nintendo Adults will eat it.
>third worlders getting mad about a product that isn't even being sold in their country
>>720590110Current day Nintendo are 100% serious and they know full well this shit is going to sell/get bought out by scalper's bots. There's nothing ironic about it for them.
>>720590110LOOK GUYS, LOOK!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrxEUU7kZSk
>>720590316 Exactly. It's not satire, it's just condescension in colorful plastic form. They're fully aware the manchildren will line up Day 1 to slap their wallets on the counter and call it "wholesome nostalgia." There's no irony left, just aggressive marketing disguised as charm.
>>720590110This is one of the few things I haven't looked into emulating. How big is the romset?
>>720590110I thought we liked game preservation?
>>720590110The cardboard version unironically makes sense but /v/ can’t afford that either so it’s a moot point lol
>>720590110>I want game preservation>Ok here's reprint of sorts of old unique hardware>No not like thatBeing locked behind expansion pass is a bitfucked but I imagine shareholders would bitch and moan about the lower tier getting anything new
>>720591214>How big is the romset? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>72059121422 games
Gunpei Yokoi deserved better.
>>720590110Not if its profitable. It has to stop being profitable. Case in point, that Bubsy collection made money. If 4D makes money as well, the meme lives on.
>>720592064I don't get how nintendo think selling an entire device just for 22 games is worth it...I hope they develope more vr games outside of labo
>>720590110We need fan art Bowsette looking into one since today Bowsette is 7 years old believe it or not. Requesting this for a Drawthread
>>720590787Poor Wario is getting his VB Land game BEFORE FUCKING LAND 1 AND 2
>>720592185Hiroshi Yamauchi deserved better
>>720592609it's $200 that's only $10 per game poorfag
>>720590110It's not for general audiences, this is for collectors and Nintendo enthusiasts. Just like the NSO controllers they're only selling it on their website to NSO members
>>720590110>Be me>Friend gets Virtual Boy for birthday >I put my eyes up to it, giddy with anticipation >It looks like utter fucking dogshit
>>720590110Holy fucking shit lmfao>Be Nintendo>Make a total failure of a console which didn't even sell a million copies worldwide and was retired in NA in less than a year>Console only had 22 games, 14 available worldwide, the only beloved game is Wario Land with 3DS Kirby-style background and foreground jumping mechanics>Caused headaches in less than half an hour due to its appalling red-and-black artstyle that makes certain games impossible to play, didn't even fucking have a strap so you had to put it down on a flimsy bipod that broke half the time>Get dunked on for various decades as people point out how big of a fucking failure it was>2025>Be nu-Nintendo, all out of good ideas ever since Iwata's passing>Let's just sell our biggest failure ever>Literally no upgrades, not even a fucking strap, it's a plastic mold with the same fucking issues as the original VB>Same catalog of subpar games, none of the nation-specific games available, lacks any options to turn off the shitty red-and-black crap or even add a filter>Has the same awful 3D effect that caused headaches back in '95, not even a VR style update>100 FUCKING DOLLARS FOR A SHITTY PLASTIC MOLD AND 30 BUCKS FOR LITERAL CARDBOARD PAINTED RED>You NEED the shitty mold or cardboard crap to play the emulators>Average Nintendo fan is A-OK with buying this piece of shitNintendo has actually gone full Bethesda. This is the Nuka Rum controversy on steroids, except Nintendocucks have so few standards they'll waste their hard-earned cash on trash like this instead of just downloading an emulator and VB ROMs, which would allow them to play without the shitty coloring and without the effects that actually hurt your eyesight. Fuck me people are complete retards
>>720594105>it's for collectors and Nintendo enthusiastsGlad to know Nintendotroons are so braindead they'll buy a shitty plastic mold that costs less than five bucks to produce and red cardboard that I could replicate spending less than a buck for hundreds of times the price. Now I know the next people to scam
>Nintendo is so washed! We want weird Nintendo back!>NOOOO NOT LIKE THIS
>>720592310I'm so tired of retards buying shit games like it's cool. In two weeks time people will mass buy ET and say it's great and misunderstood
>>720595981Nobody said this.
>>720591214If you have a 3DS, just use the VB emulator there and get the whole experience without the shitty gear
>>720593934It is when those games are garbage you dumb tendie, and that's what the Virtual Boy's entire library was.
>>720597074I think they actually improved Bubsy, it’s not a straight port
>>720594769They could release the Wii U again with no changes right now for $500 and each of its first party games for $70 and it'd sell a good 50 million.The Switch era turned Nintendo fans into Disney Adults. I owned a Wii U myself and that Direct was the biggest I've ever felt that Nintendo is literally pointing at me laughing.
>>720592609It’s a toy anon, for people to put on their shelf, similar to the Amiibo
I think it would be cool if they made new games for it, now that it's available again.Despite the deranged faggots complaining, I think this is really cool. I love the fact that Nintendo won't let their games become abandonware and will give people a chance to play them again, even with official hardware replicas.For example people are complaining about the Galaxy ports, but I didn't have Wii and Wii U so I never played any of those games, it's really cool to be able to play them with updated graphics on their latest hardware.>but muh emulationI only believe in emulation as a tool of games preservation. If a gaming company preserves them officially, I find it immoral to emulate them. Unfortunately third worlders play videogames now so their shitty disgusting "culture" tries to influence our understanding of sane piracy principles.
The best way to play Virtual Boy is using the Quest 3. But there's no good games, really. Mario Clash is just ok.
>>720598123You don’t truly believe this do you?
>>720593517It's only 80 euros in Europe. Did the US dollar really shit the bed this hard already? Based Trump destroying the american empire lmao
>>720590110All I wanted was Mario Sunshine on NSO and Nintendo couldn’t even do that. That should have been the bare minimum.
>>720598171Wario and Jack bros are good, the rest are just average to shit
>>720598308Isn’t that already coming?I swear I saw it on there from the GC showcase list
>>720598053Dude I watched the Bubsy 3D crap and it was the exact same fucking game. The worst 3D platformer ever made alongside some of the worst 2D platformers ever made. Fuck off, people nowadays are hipsters who think buying crap games is cool>>720598123Incorrect. They'd release a plastic mold of the Wii U where you can put the switch inside the Wii U pad and have a fucking emulator and sell that for 500 bucks.>>720598164You are the deranged faggot. Nintendo is asking people to pay modern gen money for emulators of thirty year old games which weren't even good. Oh and believing fan emulation is immoral shows you're a consoomer who'll just eat shit straight from Nintendo's ass and ask for seconds
>>720598401We don’t have a release date or anything for the next GameCube NSO game. Might be Mario Sunshine, might not be.
>>720598401You expect a snygger shitposter that doesn't own a nw2 and don't watch the directs to know anything about nintendo?
>>720598432Oh and I didn't even mention, that's $500 WITHOUT the Online subscription chuddie, we here are Nintendo are poor little vagrants and we need more money please, give us money
>>720598432They completely changed the controls> Fuck off, people nowadays are hipsters who think buying crap games is coolI get you are a zoomer but this has always been a thing, time to grow up buddy
>>720593934I already have a switch 2 and nso with 7 bros so I just paid 1/8 of the annual plan
>>720590110I'm convinced the 3DS emulator had something to do with it. It's so strange they decided to do this now.It's like they can't allow some fucking guy to out do them.
>>720597651Yes they fucking have, people on this very board have been romanticizing the Wii U and Nintendo's E3 2015 presentation as if it wasn't the lowest point in their history.
>>720598465Fair enough, I imagine this year stillThough honestly I don’t give a shit about that stuffI just play them on original hardware, you’re kind of gimping yourself playing with emulators
>>720598560>this has always been a thingIn an extremely limited circle. Back in the day there were three retards who did this and the rest of us laughed at them. Nowadays it's the norm. Of course you wouldn't understand since you grew up with the Switch's insane scamming methods, you probably think that's the norm
>>720598123Yep. Nintendo fans are seriously fucked in the head.
>Buy a $100 peripheral/collectible of a three decade old console in order to gain acess to a very small library of games you can't play offline and probably won't be available in a single decade.Ignoring the entire angle of this being an infamously panned console with like three games worth playing. Do they want physical collectors buying is or not?
>>720598671Back in the day, literally everyone played shitty games that suck ass anonAnd we enjoyed it because we had limited amount of games, so you better enjoy that IP tie in
>>720598862Barely anybody will buy it anonThis thread is just a massive circle jerk of Nintendo haters
>>720598432>noooo Nintendo is giving me MORE choice, MORE games, I HATE themyou just don't like videogames, you're more homosexual than barack obama
>>720591214>How big is the romset?Now imagine how many colors it will have
>>720594769As a kid I unitonically enjoyed playing the Virtual Boy and the 3 games I had
>>720598947Who's supposed to not hate it?
>>720599523In fact some of the fondest summer memories I had involved me, with the VB on my bed and me kneeling in front of it. Teleroboxing and Wario were great. My knees experienced rug burn and my eyes strained, so it became a test of will.One time after a 3-hour session, I pulled my head out of the viewer and couldn't see shit. I blinked, but all I saw was darkness. Nothing. Hold shit, I had gone fucking BLIND. I sweated, clawed desperately at the floor, before looking up and seeing the moon out my window. And them I realized, it was afternoon when I started playing and the sun had set without me realizing, I was just in a dark bedroom
I feel like any enthusiast who cared enough to want to play Virtual Boy games in the first place would have just bought an actual Virtual Boy by now.
It's just a shell to hold the screen, right?So someone could just start 3D Printing them.
>>720591214>This is one of the few things I haven't looked into emulating.There's an emulator for the Virtual Boy?
>>720599926Mostly true, however old components and other issues make them unusableJust emulate it on n3DS
>>720598171>the best way to play garbage gimmick device is with garbage gimmick deviceMakes sense.
>>720601728It’s not, I already said itt the best way to play
