I've toyed with the idea of buying a Virtual boy since mine broke long ago (I got it for like 50 bucks after it flopped), so I'm hyped for that. Does this mean more vr stuff is on the way? The Switch 2 seems to be capable of it so long as there's a mount/headset.

I'll definitely get the Virtual Boy accessory for Switch to feed my curiosity.

I often though about buying a Virtual Boy in the last years, but the original hardware costs at least 300 - 400 € in Germany, plus the games which aren't cheap either. With no official release in Europe, there weren't any deals of garage sales.

In comparison, 80 € (shipping + taxes included) for the Switch accessory (or 20 € for the cardbox version) + NSO Expansion is a steal and probably delivers much better image quality. Perhaps the emulation even offers other color modes, f.e. a grey, green, amber or blue palette. 

Haven't decided yet, which model I get. How can the cardboard model be used without a stand or strap?

Apparently you hold it by the joycon up to your face. Does not seem comfortable.
