The Switch 2's Virtual Boy is a tribute to Nintendo's wackiest console

SMRTR summary

Nintendo is bringing back the Virtual Boy as a $100 Switch 2 accessory launching February 17, faithfully recreating the bizarre 1995 console that flopped after one year. The modernized version maintains the original's red-and-black design and awkward bipod setup but uses the Switch 2 as its display, eliminating cords and fuzzy graphics while preserving the uniquely clunky gaming experience that made the Virtual Boy notorious.
