Welcome back, Virtual Boy.

Why isn't Nintendo putting Virtual Boy games on the 3DS Virtual Console?

Red and black.

I don't think you can really equate it to the Virtual Boy. I had a VB, and it was stereoscopic vector graphics that fooled you into seeing a 3Dish image. This is a much more interesting device, and while its $300 on the Kickstarter to get one I think it'll be much cheaper when it does launch commercially. But even at $300 if it delivers, that seems like a pretty good price.

This thing is going to make about 10,000 people VERY happy... and no-one else will care.

However, if/when something like Google Glass comes into existence then the hardcore VR goggle might find an audience.

I saw that and immediately thought, "If they made it in white and put a camera on it, it would be like the Major's Cash Eye goggles".

I was rolling my eyes until I saw the Newell and Carmack quotes. They're not bullshitters.

DevilUknow

John Carmack mentioned the Oculus Rift during his QuakeCon Keynote

Daikun

It looks like Sony wants to rip off cash in on the idea.

EDIT: Valve's doing it, too.

I'm not sure enough people would buy them to justify the costs.

Walker

"It’s appealing to them [Gabe Newell and Sergey Brin] because they live in that outer fringe of I.Q. and money,"

Daikun

John Carmack joins the team full-time.

Victor Frost

Why can't we just attach three HD phone cameras to it with some OMAP guts and make one of those CashEye goggles the Major had?

Andrew

So, it's not 100% official, but I've gotten an offer to work at Oculus over the summer. Super excited!

Andrew

Can't wait for the consumer version and full software support
