"The Worst System ever..."

Okay, I have always known Nintendo to make great consoles. I have never seen them fail with one system ever in my life, even the N64 was a dream come true. So after seeing Nintendo's perfect reputation, I heard of this system they made a while back ago called the VirtualBoy. Knowing about how Nintendo has a perfect reputation, I was positive that this system would be one of the best! How wrong I was! Lets get on to see what was wrong with this VirtualBoy thingy

Graphics-3/10-''OWWWWW my eyes, I can barely see!'' Yup, thats what you are going to say when you look into the VirtualBoy's eye mask thing. The problem with it is that it is all red. Bright red in fact. The first few minutes of play you won't notice a thing. But after a while, your eyes will go dizzy and they will start to sting. I was going to sue Nintendo but luckily the Manuel had a warning to not look into it for so long. Darn, I was hoping to be a rich man, but I guess Nintendo is smart when it comes to being sued. I didn't give the graphics a 1 because it has a 3D look to it. But your eyes will be hurting forever after you play.

Sound-4/10-What is with all these bloops and bleeps? How do they give a system a 3D look, and then give it ugly Atari music and sound? I will never understand what Nintendo was going through when they thought up this system. But they must of made this thing in their sleep.

Library-1/10-The poorest thing ever. It had 15 games. YES, 15 games. No that wasn't sarcasm. It was literal. There were only 15 GAMES!!! Most of them were not so great either. The longest game on there is only like 3 hours long. Some games like Wario Land and Red Alarm might entertain you for a while. But they sure got boring soon enough. I can't remember who made games for this system. Nintendo made most of them. There was another company that made some games for it, but I can't remember the name.

Comfort-5/10-Your neck would start hurting after a while if you keep playing this thing. The controller was good however, but definitely not as good as N64 or SNES.

Final Rating-1/10-If you are trying to blind yourself, then GET THIS SYSTEM NOW!! If not, then don't even type in the name on the search on ebay. The picture might give you eyestrain.
