This commercial almost has me convinced the Virtual Boy was released in the 80's in USA.. What the hell happened to it!?

Holiday season of 1995.

What a time that was.

Visions of Telroboxer or however the fuck you spell it dancing in the heads of little children.

Then the realization on Christmas morning that the system was going to be nothing but a failure.

Is it possible that its just your one eye no longer works? Too much VB = blindness.

File a lawsuit!

We didn't get the Virtua boy in France but I clearly remember the hammerman cartoon.

Thanks for the link.

Hammerman was fucking awesome.

The exploits of Stanley and his talking shoes. He'd yell "it's Hammertime!" and become Hammerman.

And at the end there was always like a live action part.

EDIT: Wait, did he yell that?

Anyway, remember the Bull and Ted cartoon?

I think KNOTB had one, too.

EDIT@: I put bull instead of bill, y'all.

This is the reason Nintendo, both US and Japan had to pull off and discontinue the system ASAP, true, the product wasn't popular, but Nintendo was always committed to a system for a good period, in fact, so many more games were in development stage and it just stopped. Had the system provided no problem with your eyes, we would've seen at least a few more games for the system.
