The problem wasn't just the hardware, the games weren't good either.

That's actually kind of a weird omission. PSVR can play 3D blu-rays, yet not the handful of 3D ps4 games. They just show up as 2D on the virtual screen. Fez and the Trine trilogy should work on a 3D virtual screen. Ofcourse some have already gotten the VR treatment, Super Stardust Ultra VR, Bound with a free update, Castlestorm crashers VR version just came out this week.

Agreed. I also can't understand why Crash N.Sanity doesn't have a 3D option (the camera perspective would work great with stereoscopic 3D) and PSVR-3D-support.

Last saturday I had the chance to play briefly with a Virtual Boy (I was in Tokyo and saw one in a retro gaming store in Akihabara). I tried Wario Land and it seem a good game, I actually was a bit surprised with the visual quality of the game, compared with the screenshots I had seen before of the game.

Anyway, I doubt a Virtual Boy Mini would be succesful, there's no much nostalgia there, and the system had very few games.

If it has Jack Bros. I'll buy one instantly.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

N64 Mini next year, GameBoy Mini the year after that to celebrate 30 years of GameBoy.

The Virtual Boy library is very small and Nintendo couldn't even get the rights to all of them. They're best off just taking what they own and putting them on 3DS, either as separate games or a bundle, because they were really only 3D game anyway.
