Anyone who thinks that Nintendo is revolutionary with the Wii is very wrong. In 1995 Nintendo released a console called the Virtual Boy that looked like it had everything to go right. But it was not the case.
Nintendo tried to make a much bigger step than the legs and create a technology somewhat impractical for the time. The failure was so great, that made the Japanese company has become a conservative company. Realize that Nintendo was the last game company to adopt the CD as media. In this, the company lost its Mario hegemony to Sony.
This technology had many problems that did fail. Portability was impractical and every 10 minutes the player had to pause to have no headaches, in addition, the price was too expensive for the time. Anyway, it was a great experience to experience it.
The main feature of the Virtual Boy is that through a stereoscopic effect anyone could use 3D games, even in a monochrome mode.
Now, for those who are nostalgic by old technology may have a chance to purchase this device. The price? About $ 50,000. What’s worse, is that perhaps not a single game come together to play some.
So, would you risk it?
