I recently got a Virtual Boy for my b-day, and it's been hard to stop playing it.

Games I have so far for it:

-Mario's Tennis: Fun, but stiff controls
-Mario Clash: Repetitive, but fun
-Red Alarm: Awesome game. So much fun, but looks a lot like a wire frame, which makes it a bit harder. but still...AWESOME.

I'm also getting Wario Land, which should be here in the next few days.

I know a lot of people give it hate, but I've really enjoyed it.

To each his own, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Let me know if your eyes turn blood red or you start having headaches OR if you die of convulsions...

Okay, maybe not the last one, but still, let me know if you experience any pain with it...because I want one,b ut I don't think I could put up with the strain.

Yeah, after seeing how the virtual boy could cause possible seisures and eye strains, I have been playing in moderation. I play for a half hour, then take a break for a half hour.

So far, I haven't gotten any eye strains. But, I just got it two days ago.

Virtual Boy is the only Nintendo system I've never played. I really need to get me one of these. What's a fair price for one and its games?

I've owned a Virtual Boy for quite a while and find that it never caused me eye strain. I normally don't play for more than an hour at a time. It's a neat system.

I wouldn't put more than $50-60 into one if your buying it. Mario Tennis is the standard Virtual Boy game as it came bundled with it, worth about $3-5.

Awesome, I've seen a few of them around the internet, and once I saw somebody using it in public. He had it strapped to his head with tape. They seem pretty cool, I'm gonna look for one around town before I look for anything on the internet. Good to hear that it isn't really painful.

Good luck. I do have to say, it's unlikely you could find a VB in a public store. It's not impossible, but it's not likely. If you can't find one in any stores, try ebay. Oh, and it's not painful if you play in moderation. If you play for a half an hour, take a break for twenty minutes. Oh, and the VB is a system that you never want to pull an all nighter with.

Yeah but any game can cause seisures.

Anyways I know you like it cause I'm subbed to your YouTube channel. xD
