The Virtual Boy is a failed game system by Nintendo released August 14, 1995. Its twin eyeglass-style projector displays monochromatic images in black and red once labeled by Nintendo as "true 3D." The console was a flop for many reasons, including its lack of portability and the headaches gameplay caused in a matter of minutes. Concern regarding Nintendo's warnings that the Virtual Boy could cause eye problems also detracted potential customers. It was also released before it was ready to keep fans occupied during the long wait for the Nintendo 64, and many weren't willing to invest in the Virtual Boy with another Nintendo system on its way. Due to its failure in Japanese and American markets, the Virtual Boy was never exported to Australia or Europe. Sony speculated that the Nintendo DS would suffer the Virtual Boy's fate due to its similar obscurity, but thankfully, the DS has actually become quite a success.
