I must say this is quite an interesting find indeed. Nintendo’s infamous failed experiment known as the Virtual Boy has turned up in Dubai. In August of 2008, a group of persons were merely cleaning out a warehouse when they stumbled upon 100 Virtual Boy consoles sealed away in boxes for over a decade. It’s appearance now is almost as baffling as how it wound up in Dubai in the first place.
Vijay Chandrabota, the purchasing manager for Geekay Games spoke with The National about the find saying he didn’t even know the Virtual Boy even existed until he and his colleagues found the boxes.
Even though the Virtual Boy was responsible for creating migraines and dizziness in any individual who was unfortunate enough to witness its red and black landscapes, some game enthusiasts such as Mohammed Omran made sure he got a couple Virtual Boy systems under the impression it would sell for far more than its worth. The National reported he was chasing after the elusive Virtual Boy all over Dubai, and he insisted it’s not easy to find one these days.
The remaining Virtual Boy consoles could possibly make it’s way across the internet for a pretty penny. What better gift to give than the videogame system that bares Nintendo’s shame?
