Scott TailfordHOST
In Nintendo's case, like, they have...
Scott TailfordHOST
You know, they just did the, the cardboard Virtual Boy, like, you know, like a half a year ago or so.
Scott TailfordHOST
Um, you had things like, um, I'm forgetting the name of it, but the cardboard VR in general set that they did.
Ewan PatersonHOST
Labo.
Aidan MoherHOST
every single saturn game for 200 or one saturn game for 1200 right easy choice yep
Ty SchalterHOST
um which is why uh i have a real virtual boy and i'm still probably going to get the new fake virtual boy because
Aidan MoherHOST
hey there you go yeah greg's holding one up i've got one uh but i'm too cheap to sign up for the virtual con layer that i have to re-sign up
Greg SewartGUEST
myself
NickGUEST
To quote great philosopher Hank Hill, I tell you what, the 3DS emulator on the 3DS has been really, really good to me the past few months.
NickGUEST
That's been a very good way to play those games.
NickGUEST
If y'all are trying to play those games without actually buying a real Virtual Boy, which I also own, and that remains the best way to play Virtual Boy still.
NickGUEST
But the 3DS emulator is really good.
JamesHOST
That's a feature they've really solidified.
JamesHOST
They released a Virtual Boy stuff, and you must play it with something you buy from them.
JamesHOST
You still see Nintendo-isms in the business today on the NSO software.
JamesHOST
I do still truly feel that.
Jason BradburyHOST
I've got all the Nintendo consoles.
Jason BradburyHOST
I've got all of them, actually, apart from I don't have a Virtual Boy.
Jason BradburyHOST
including an N64, which I often play.
Jason BradburyHOST
And I loved Zelda.
Hyle RussellHOST
But yeah, Nintendo, by and large, they've gotten better.
Hyle RussellHOST
I say they a- as if they're just like a, a kooky gang of friends, but Nintendo as an entity has gotten better about not only preservation, but embracing their full history, their full messy history, and I say this with my Virtual Boy facsimile e- erected next to me.
Hyle RussellHOST
So yeah, the DK Challenge is actually the next thing on my list of minor grievances or surprising omissions from this Nintendo Direct because I thought given the timing of all of this stuff ending, the Emerald Rush events and the DK Challenge which ended when September rolled in, I thought we would get some sort of follow-up to the DK Challenge announced.
Hyle RussellHOST
Not Donkey Kong related obviously, I'm not that greedy or deluded.
28 MINS LATER
Hyle RussellHOST
But, uh, an IP that of course took a turn that they may not want to make themselves overly bound to.
Hyle RussellHOST
Um, but you know, why not? Stranger things have happened.
Hyle RussellHOST
The Virtual Boy is back, for crying out loud.
AdamHOST
Yeah.
BobHOST
The Mr. Cart is now in stock at Stone Age Gamer.
BobHOST
And since now they have stock of two Virtual Boy ROM carts, let me very quickly run you through the differences between them.
BobHOST
The Mr. Cart is a more traditional ROM cart style device where you dump your ROMs on a micro SD card, put it into this, plug it into your Virtual Boy, and then select your game via the visor, and then let the game load, which could be up to a minute, but you probably on average a little bit quicker than that, so not too bad.
BobHOST
And it comes in both black and red shells, and it's about 250 bucks.
BobHOST
But if you're looking for something a bit different, the Hyperboy 32 Plus is a single-flash Virtual Boy ROM cart with an e-ink screen.
BobHOST
So the good news is every time you load up your game, the e-ink artwork shows whatever artwork you load, and there's a ton of stuff that's available to download already as well.
BobHOST
So you could basically make your flash cart look like an original cartridge, and both of these can play every single retail and homebrew cart out there.
BobHOST
So it's awesome that you have these in stock and available now because they're usually pre-orders.
Hyle RussellHOST
no, Sony's not doing better.
Hyle RussellHOST
I mean, I know people still get upset or find reasons to get upset with Nintendo, but usually it's because they do something like, release a Virtual Boy accessory, and people really take umbrage at that.
Hyle RussellHOST
But for me, generally speaking, there's still so many creatives at Playtonic that I absolutely adore, and it would really require them to just go full-on heel-turn for me to actually say, you know what, I don't think I can really get behind the... capital b golf or whatever you know it it's it's time to just uh walk away uh like i guess video game fans have it better than harry potter fans right now but that's not saying much
FreezerHOST
Yeah, well, at least all us fans of Joss Whedon are having a great time, right? Let me just check
Scuba SteveHOST
It's okay.
Scuba SteveHOST
I'll take my puke green Game Boy over the migraine-inducing red screen of the Virtual Boy.
Scuba SteveHOST
So the colors are fine.
Scuba SteveHOST
I can deal with the mono colors.
Grant KirkhopeGUEST
the time, yes.
Grant KirkhopeGUEST
When you finish this Game Boy, you're going to go into the Virtual Boy, which I threw extra channels.
Grant KirkhopeGUEST
I was like, they're all working on the SNES and the N64.
Grant KirkhopeGUEST
And I was like, I'm going to be the Game Boy boy, am I? But thankfully, that never happened, so I read it, doing more Game Boy games after that, so that was it.
DannyHOST
And the other reason I wanted a
ChrisGUEST
modded one is because I quite like the idea of playing those Virtual Boy games on it, which everybody talks about being... one of the better ways to play, perhaps even more so.
ChrisGUEST
Yeah, it is
DannyHOST
quite
