Become a Virtual collector

New to Nintendo handhelds with the DS? Interested in learning firsthand about one of Nintendo's weirdest, most baffling missteps? Or maybe you just want the full catalog of releases for a Nintendo system, and want to take the easiest way out? The DS has hundreds of games-- you can't collect all of those! Maybe you love red.

Whatever the (crazy) reason, you now have the opportunity to buy the full set of US-released Virtual Boy games for $1,500 (or best offer.) They're all complete in their boxes, where they should remain for all time. It even includes Nester's Funky Bowling, the only game to star a character created for Nintendo Power magazine! Well, the only game other than Pilotwings 64, which kind of featured Nester as well.

I got a Virtual Boy on my first year of college. People thought I was a biology major and that was some sort of advanced microscope.

I love(d) that system.

oh wow.. seems so long ago.. almost forgot about that hardware.
Yea i always found the system quite interesting. Visual Boy was innovative for sure but the stand was not that great to use, was a bit awkward to play with, and it did a number on the eyes..

...I HAVE THAT SYSTEM!!!!!!

Yes, Im a proud owner of a Virtual Boy! For the record, it wasnt a bad system, and I think if Nintendo had not been asking for almost $200 a pop, it might have gone somewhere.... maybe.

It kind of reminds me of that thing Spock's always looking into on Star Trek.

$1,500??? Hahaha. You could buy them one at a time and get the whole set for under $300, maybe even less.
