Virtual Boy gets unofficial VR emulator

The Virtual Boy aimed to bring 3D gaming to the masses. It certainly did offer a 3D effect, but the device didn't exactly find its way into millions of homes. It also wasn't too easy on the eyes. Instead of becoming a hit, the Virtual Boy faded away into obscurity.

Many thought Nintendo would resurrect some of their Virtual Boy games for the 3DS, but that never came to be. Perhaps that's why hackers/modders have stepped in to bring those games to Virtual Reality headsets. If anything, this new way to play Virtual Boy games shows the true vision Nintendo had all those years ago.
