I had absolutely zero interest in the Virtual Boy, so there's that. But regarding Nintendo's other systems I wasn't big on the Game Boy. The tech was just underwhelming and there wasn't much I cared about on the platform. I finally did purchase a Game Boy Pocket sometime in 1997 only because I started a job with a lot of down time and because I wanted to play Zelda.
I've owned every other Nintendo system though and, starting with the Game Boy Advance, they've all been launch day purchases and I only felt truly let down by WiiU. Even with the first year software droughts of the N64 and Gamecube I was still having a blast with the excellent games that were available. The DS and 3DS also had poor first years but the former ended up one of my favorite systems once the Lite released and the latter... eh... it became decent, I guess. But that first year of the WiiU (at least until Pikmin 3) was terrible and was the only time I was very disappointed with Nintendo in general. Fortunately, the system did end up with a few great games in the end.
