HOLY KEK
THIS CAN'T BE REAL

>>720466314 (OP)
labo strikes again

Did I miss some sort of Morbius style meme campaign where people were begging Nintendo to bring the virtual boy back?

>>720466314 (OP)
This company needs a reality check

>>720466314 (OP)
you goy see nintendo was always bad even back then and this latest direct hasnt proven that they have entirely lost the plot. no but seriously wtf are they doing lmao

We're so back!

>>720466314 (OP)
how much is the real thing?

>>720466314 (OP)
kek
as much as I dont' like Nintendo, I got to hand it to them for milking money from bullshit as well as they're able to

>>720467656
$100

tendie troons... we lost and got raped

here we go again.

>>720466314 (OP)
Labo is unironically a good idea. Peripherals enhance or make a game, but most people are priced out of buying a chunk of plastic for 1-2 games. Making them out of cheap cardboard solves this issue.

But charging $25 for the cardboard is lunacy. Should be $5 max.

>call it a cardboard model
>the actual important bits on the inside (the dock, the lenses, the face rest, etc) are not cardboard
Why did they make it cardboard?

>>720468861
Labo could have been a good idea, but it was $80.

the people who care the most about labo are shitposters
everyone else just ignored it

>>720469130
Nintendo deserved to be a laughing stock for Labo.

>>720466314 (OP)
IS THAT HECKIN CARDBOARD???
WE'RE SO FRIGGIN BACK LABROS

>>720468123
kek, that thing must cost like 10$ to be made.

>>720469130
I bought a couple Labo kits, not full priced of course. It was a cute and novel way to spend an afternoon. The vehicle kit's exploration game is mad comfy.

>>720466314 (OP)
Tendies will buy it, or Nintendo will activate the nanobots from the vaccinations to end their lives.

>>720466717
They're just running out of stuff to make for NSO tat, though Virtual Boy is a really interesting choice in that Nintendo doesn't apparently consider it a black mark on their history anymore. Game Boy, GBC, GBA and DS aren't likely for physical hardware for a lot of reasons even if I'd like to see something like keychain controllers or mini controllers themed after those systems.

>>720472807
I'm surprised they didn't also make a controller for it.

>>720469070
It was $80 because it was a $60 game with $10 or $20 worth of cardboard attached

>>720472892
Correction: It was a $60 tech demo.

>>720472873
Looking at it I see why they didn't.

>>720472990
It's an interesting design.

>>720472972
Was Mario Paint a tech demo

>>720473078
Was Mario Paint $80?
Was the main peripheral required to play Mario Paint literal cardboard?
These are rhetorical.

>>720473608
Retard.
The mouse was also half the cost of that bundle.
So either Labo is a $60 tech demo, or you're spending way more than $20 on literal cardboard(which is already a joke at that price).

*unzips dick*
Now I see why they allow all those hentai games on the eshop

>>720466717
People memed the Virtual Boy so hard that Nintendo actually believed them. But the real reason is to sell the accessories that they know will be bought by collectors.

>>720466314 (OP)
It's all inflation's fault bros...

>>720466314 (OP)
Wait does this mean we're gonna get a Virtual Boy NSO controller as well

>>720468747
this is just humiliation for nintendobros.

>>720473738
>So either Labo is a $60 tech demo,
I think only retards have ever argued the majority of the cost was not in the software.

It's also about as complete a game as Mario Paint itself is, so this rapidly approaches "everyone who argues about it, me included, is retarded for doing so" territory.

>>720475653
>It's also about as complete a game as Mario Paint itself is
Which, as I've demonstrated, offered more value.

>>720475653
>>720475748
Same ad, btw. Mario Paint was only barely more expensive than other games on the console, and also came with a $30 peripheral.
Labo comes with packaging material.

>>720466314 (OP)
Somehow official Nintendo cardboard returned

>>720475748
>offered more value.
ehhhhh

>>720476216
>>720475748
>During the Super NES's life cycle, 80 games were released with Mouse support
So yeah, it's certainly more value - you can use it with other games. The labo shit is only used for specific labo carts. There isn't any racing game that supports the vehicle labo, and ARMS could've done something cool with the robot labo at least...

>>720472807
>for a lot of reasons
What are some of those reasons? I can't think of any off the top of my head. Seems to me a GBA re-release kind of like the SNES classic could do real numbers

>>720466314 (OP)
The only disingenuous part is calling it a cardboard model when it still comes with the goggles. It's still on the upper end, but $25 isn't that bad. Those Kirby Air Riders amiibo will probably be $40+ each, though.

>>720476216
It objectively did.

>>720469984
You are being too generous considering it doesn't even have electronics inside. It's literally a plastic case with some lenses and a stand.

>>720472807
They've been memeing about the Virtual Boy since Tomodachi on 3DS, did you miss the "all hail the Virutal Boy!" joke they featured in the initial marketing?

>>720469984
In plastic maybe, but injection molds are extremely expensive.

>>720478406
They already had the mold.

>>720466314 (OP)
> Cardboard Model
They really pulling this shit again?

>>720466820
They need to get hit hard. I'm sick of they're stupid bullshit

>>720477275
I feel very stupid for thinking the Kirby Amiibos being interchangable is cool, but I still think it's a cool idea. It's the first time I've been impressed by Toys To Life since I first saw them almost two fucking decades ago.
If only they flopped so I could find them for cheap on the second-hand market but there's no way Kirbyfags let it happen.

>>720466314 (OP)
That's means the VR more of BOTW can now be played on a Switch OLED and Switch 2

Don't like it? Don't play it.
Nintendo made this for super-fans, not ALL fans. If you're the type of person that engrosses themselves in the rich history of consoles, especially Nintendo consoles, this is great.
I don't see Sony creating a PSX classic for the fans that want it, nor do I see Microsoft making an Xbox classic. So what is it? Anger? Jealousy? A mixture of both?

>>720480064
>If you're the type of person that engrosses themselves in the rich history of consoles
Then I would buy an actual Virtual Boy, not a literal cheap cardboard version of it.

>>720480196
Snoy spotted

>>720468861
>But charging $25 for the cardboard is lunacy. Should be $5 max.
Here's the thing, Nintendo is fully aware that it's dumb BUT they're also fully aware that people like this >>720467027
>>720468747
Will buy it to shitpost about it.

They're basically doing what journalists do when they push out anti-Nintendo articles.

The only one who needs a "reality check" is you, snoy.

>>720466314 (OP)
holy fuck the new powerglove leaked

this is unironically the coolest thing nintendo showed in the direct

theyre also bringing in 14 games, since 14 games were released in north america that's probably the full english translated library which is pretty amazing for conservation
shame they gatekept it behind the toy only, though to be fair that gimmick was kind of the point

>>720482810
You'd rather take that estro pill huh.

>>720483409
Kek

>>720483343
Waterworld is missing, though....
they should add it later on as a $10 dlc

>>720466314 (OP)
I'll buy some Chinese knockoff of this shit. It's kinda neat so hopefully the Chinese pull through and make a good fake.

Why DO you need the peripheral anyways?
I know it's meant to be "authentic" but isn't the game perfectly playable without forcing it so close to your eyes?

>>720466314 (OP)
https://arvr.google.com/cardboard/

>>720482014
Is it really supposed to be played like this or this guy is just goofing around? I can't see an idea behind this shit. Reminds me of that SpongeBob episode where they were playing in a box using imagination.

>>720466314 (OP)
I didn't watch the direct. Did they withheld the price from their presentation again?

You may as well just buy a cheap VR headset and play the games for free on an emulator

>>720483928
Nintendo being greedy as always. I'm gonna laugh hard if the cardboard version at $25 includes some usb-c dongle to 'authenticate'.

>>720484606
Yes, they didn't show the price of any of their overpriced crap.

>>720466314 (OP)
The absolute fucking state

>>720483343
>which is pretty amazing for conservation
The fuck?
A shitty subscription where you own nothing and are expected to be happy is not remotely any sort of conservation. All of those games have been backed up and been floating around the internet for decades, what actual conservation looks like.
They couldn't of even been assed to pull a Starfox 2 and release the basically finished but unreleased games (Bound High! and Dragon Hopper being the two I know of) that were unceremoniously tossed before release 'cause it did so shit.

>>720466314 (OP)
The only time a Virtual Boy Virtual Console would've made sense was on the 3DS where you didn't need to recreate the physical discomfort of using a real Virtual Boy

>>720466820
This, Shinji Aoba style

>>720469130
Labo was great but should not have been so expensive.

>>720473072

its a dueal digital pad that didnt have many games that utlized both sticks. with the way controllers are laid out nowadays there isnt really a reason to make said controllers when all switch controllers do the vb layout but better

>>720485070
yea of course. its more about them acknowledging the virtual boy at all AND releasing the full game library, or pretty close to it. i cant imagine this having a profitable prospect for them

https://youtu.be/CAtrkMGNp0o
Thread theme

>>720484374
The foot pedal basically sends a gust of air to your body, because he's playing a game where you fly around this island thing. It's genuinely more immersive than "real" VR.

>>720485596
>with the way controllers are laid out nowadays there isnt really a reason to make said controllers when all switch controllers do the vb layout but better
You could have said that about the NES, SNES, and Gamecube rereleases.

>>720485652
Of course it's profitable. Switch Online's upkeep is close to $0, so any subscription is purely profit. They can do anything they want, but will do nothing because you'll pay for it anyway.
The $25 cardboard and $100 plastic will sell out every time it's restocked.

BING

>>720485893
gamecube is unmatched
snes is worse than saturn but the best nintendo has for that purpose
nes I can agree was just for nostalgia points, no nostalgia for vb to farm

>>720485893

true. but theres also the fact that theres a fuckton more games for any of those platforms than the vb. hell theres 5 good games for it

>>720486162
Pay attention to a reply chain before posting.

>>720486298
I did. what's your problem?

>>720468861
It includes lenses.

>>720482662
thanks nintendobro.

>>720486450
Your retardation is the problem.

>>720486705
damn, I found a woman on /v/

>>720466820
you're the one that needs a reality check, tendies WILL buy it both version 2x because they need 2 pairs for the switch 1 and 2 pairs for the switch 2

Finally, a chance to play the best SMT game ever: Jack Bros.

>>720487938
Is it in? I will pay for the stupid plastic stand if I can play jack bros as close as intended as possible

What out of touch game director boomer at Nintendo keeps pitching these cardboard gimmicks

>>720485019
>$70
>for two 15+ year old games
>Not enhanced, no additional content, nothing just the old games you may or may not have played decades ago
Nintendo is a company that makes it so hard to like them.

WATERWORLD
ON
VIRTUAL BOY

IT'S LIKE PUKING ON A PILE OF SHIT

>>720468747
HAHAHAH I NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD GET TO USE THESE AGAIN

>>720488038
I don't think so, but there's always the possibility of it being in the japanese version.

Anon, you are aware that of the three platform holders Nintendo is the only one that rents servers, right?

Are hip packs making a comeback?

Saars, this is the Nintendo experience!

Imagine console warring with switch owners, they're literal manchildren that eat this shit up and normalized $90 games because they are "fun"!
Meanwhile Silksong which is more polished than any Nintendo game ever costs $10 in most countries.

>>720466314 (OP)
I remember buying one of these like 10 years ago for 5 bucks. I used it to jerk off but eventually the headaches became too much and had to stop

>>720466717
kinda. Ever since the cardboard goggles 'VR' from those cardboard games, combined with switch having emulation of older consoles, people have brought up that these could be combined to do a proper virtual boy emulation. its 90% a gimmick thing and 10% 'this is the only chance to play the virtual boy warioland game which is actually good and never got remade for a real console'

>>720492870
There are no servers.

>>720466717
There was a recent emulator for the 3DS with proper 3d. They'll try to shut it down I guess
