Virtual Boy in 2022: Accessories & Games

Today I’m joined by Kevin Mellott to demo and discuss all of the awesome, modern homebrew accessories and games available for the Nintendo Virtual Boy.  We start by demoing hardware, then show off some awesome games!  If you’re a fan of the Virtual Boy, or are just curious about the platform, definitely check this out – Most people enjoy throwing shade at the downsides of the VB, but this is the opposite:  We’re showing off all the reasons you would want to own one!
