Nintendo To Announce Virtual Boy 2

SlappingOysters writes Nintendo has officially unveiled the development of its next home console, codenamed the NX. This article at finder puts forward the case that Nintendo will be stepping back into the virtual realty game with a follow-up to its ill-fated 1995 peripheral, the Virtual Boy. It would be going head-to-head with the Vive, Project Morpheus and the much-rumoured, not yet announced, Microsoft VR unit.

  1. I actually read TFA...gasp..and no they didn't by Guru80 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Actually no, they didn't announce a damn thing you completely inaccurate headline and summary. They very well might but that is just one article speculating at what they might announce based on what other companies are doing.

  2. Clickbait Title by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is this really what Slashdot is coming to? The linked post is purely speculation with no evidence other than what other companies are doing, which has never been a major motivator for Nintendo. The title presents it as fact. Come on guys, hold stuff to a higher standard than this garbage, don't turn into Buzzfeed or Gawker.

    It wasn't the Virtual Boy's fault.

    Twenty minutes playing that and your eyeballs bleed when you return to sunlight.

    You went outside. That's your problem.
