Nintendo will be bringing back the Virtual Boy! For those of you who don't know, the Virtual Boy was Nintendo's first try with virtual reality. It ultimately ended up failing because the red laser lights caused intense eye strain. But with better technology, this could easily be fixed. Right? Well, yes, in theory. But Nintendo has decided not to fix it. Instead, they've made the same VR glasses that can now hold your Nintendo Switch, which will be used as the game screen. But they haven't fixed the games, they've decided to keep the same red graphics that caused the problem to begin with. The red color is part of what caused the eye strain to begin with, so switching it from lasers to a screen won't help as much as they're hoping. Nostalgia isn't going to overpower the abilities of the human eye. Really they should've just kept the graphics but added colors if this is what they wanted to do. They could've fixed the original problem, but it's Nintendo, so they didn't. Unfortunately I have a feeling it won't go over well this time either. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
