The Nintendo Virtual Boy is a unique and short-lived console released by Nintendo in 1995. It was marketed as the first portable system capable of displaying stereoscopic 3D graphics. The Virtual Boy featured a monochromatic red-and-black display viewed through a headset, creating a sense of depth in its games. Notable titles included Mario's Tennis, Wario Land, and Teleroboxer. Despite its innovative concept, the system was criticized for its uncomfortable design, lack of portability, limited game library, and potential strain on players' eyes. The Virtual Boy was discontinued less than a year after release, making it one of Nintendo’s biggest commercial failures, but a collector’s favorite today. Expand
