Anyone who doesn't say Virtual Boy didn't have a Virtual Boy...
Man... I rememeber forcing myself to play that after I got it for Christmas so my parents wouldn't think they wasted their money.

Actually, I'm thinking that most people who say Virtual Boy haven't even played the damn thing, given how unpopular it was and still is. Yes, it's probably the worst of all Nintendo platforms from the Famicom/NES onward, no debating that. Very limited game library (partially due to very short support), not really portable (more like a tabletop console that could run on batteries), and the only colors were red and black (though a full-color display in 1995 would have made the price rather astronomical). However, I get the general notion that a lot of complaints about it just happen to be FUD blown out of proportion and largely uncorrected by those with actual experience, particularly the headache issues.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Neither I nor my brother have ever gotten a headache from playing it. The only people I know who have ever had issues playing it are people with extremely strong eyeglass prescriptions, like my dad and my friend. But I think it's an awesome little system, it's totally worth the $70 or so to get and and play some of the awesome games it has, especially Galactic Pinball, Wario Land, and Mario Tennis. It's a shame that most people just go by what they hear rather than give the system a chance themselves...
