No clue.

Quoth Jack10:

Nintendo making cards is a well-known fact.

Not to most people[from what I've heard]

Nintendo making cards is a well-known fact.

They produced cards for the game.
The game itself has been played for generations.
'Nintendo in 1895...'
"Koi Koi!"

OK, I just Wikipedia'd N8ntendo, and I was wrong about the cards. They made a card game called Hanafuda. Still popular today, and also has competitions today, such as the Nintendo Cup.

LOL

Doooooooood, I'd totally go to a Nintendo love hotel. -w-

Gameboy Vita: 3d fail i think, Nintendo said it was too advanced for the time. (Got fact wrong?)

knew this from ages ago, just wasted a read.

Haha, look up Apple. They had a color-capable handheld system before the Game Boy existed, but it never sold due too poor marketing.

i own all systems you mentioned in this

I own a gamecube and it's not just a box, it's a box with a handle.True story.lulz

ha ha ha! i like the word "Friggin" its funny that, my mum uses that word!

I would -1 but effort xD

I expected it to be funny... what THIS is meant to be funny? sony used to make toilet paper o-o its not funny its just cool :p

SEGA = "SErvice GAmes"

That was their start.

As for Nintendo, the Super NES wasn't so much a box, since the top has a smaller section that extended upward in the first model and a curvy surface in the revised model.

Nintendo actually had two previous attempts at 3D. The first use anaglyph glasses on the NES in the late '80s. This was for a racing game called Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally.

In the mid 1990s, virtual reality was all the rage. The bulky headsets were at every county fair or amusement park. Any TV show with even a hint at sci-fi had an episode about the characters being trapped in virtual worlds. SEGA had dabbled with VR headsets in movie theaters, so Nintendo saw the potential for home use. Thus came the Virtual Boy.

I believe it originally sold for $200 and games at $30. It was a great idea, but there were two major flaws:

1. To save on cost, they developed a display that only showed a single bar of red per eye and has mirrors rapidly oscillate to generate the full displays.
2. To play games, one had to lean over a table with the face pressed against a set of bipodded goggles.

This combination caused eye and back strain after sitting for long periods of time.

Worldwide, only around a dozen games came out, and the 2-player link cable was scrapped. After less than a year, the system was discontinued, and stores cleared it from inventory for $30 and $10 per game. (I made sure to snatch it up then!)

Over the past several years, I've been able to get the majority of the games and even a second Virtual Boy at yard sales. I even have one game still factory sealed. It's a great conversation piece.

If you're curious as to what the games looked like in 3D, I've posted seval screenshots to the 3D Photo Gallery on 3DSPaint.com. It was difficult to take the pictures, due to the "eyes" on the 3DS camera being closer than the span of the Virtual Boy's display, but some images weren't too bad. You can get an idea, nonetheless.

I want a Virtual Boy so I can destroy my eyesight!
