Everybody else doing SWITCH videos?! I do a VIRTUAL BOY video! #DroptheMic

This is perfect since Kelsey and the Virtual Boy both use a stand.

"It is actually a pretty good game, damn good! Only one problem - IT'S ON VIRTUAL BOY!" - AVGN, 2009.

I will never forgive Nintendo for not releasing Virtual Boy games on the 3DS Virtual Console. With the 3DS probably being Nintendo's last ever 3D console, it was the one chance to get Virtual Boy games on a more accessible platform, and that chance is pretty much gone.

I've always played the virtual boy laying down. Anyway else would be uncivilized.

I literally found one in the trash. That was a great day.

"It was marketed as a portable game system! Yeah, portable. My ass is portable!"

am I the only one glad to that this isn't a switch video? everyone today is uploading switch videos. Thanks Metal Jesus for being different :)

If you emulate the virtual boy, you can change the colors from black/red to gameboy colors.

You forgot to answer the real question on everyone's mind. How do the cartridges taste!?

AVGN had a great mod to this system so he can wear it on his head.

*Metal Jesus Gear: Big And Solid*

Kelsey is a plethora of knowledge, I always love when she is on the show!

It's horrible. A dumb portable gimmick that nobody wanted, crappy graphics, weak processor, limited range of games and over-priced for what it is. But enough about the Switch. What's this Virtual Boy thing all about?

When he said "big and solid like me" I think he was referring to his body size yah nasties lol

Got my Virtual Boy for $40 last year. It has a scratch on the lens but... I have a Virtual Boy!

Kelsey is looking very 90s.

Kelsey, don't forget to look at metal jesus.

does it include a Kelsey?

Metal Jesus uses proper dynamic compression on his audiotracks. Be like Metal Jesus.

I still have mine, had pretty fun times back in the day. I was around 7 y.o. and I remember it was my dad the one who told me to buy it and I saved half the price and he put the other half. Nostalgia, by Veidt.

I have really wanted a Virtual Boy for years. I have great memories of playing VB Wario Land back in the 90’s.

I remember playing this when I was really young. A family friend had one about six months after its release. It's quite a memorable device.

Have a great weekend everyone

How many phonebooks is she standing on?

poor kelsey standing on a box :P

When I was a kid, I saw a large spider crawl into one of the cracks of my virtual boy. i never wanted to use it anymore after that for fear of a spider crawling onto my face when I played it, then my mom threw it out after i went away to college. Years later I think it's time I get it again.

I think kelsey is turning into my favorite guest on the show.

awkward moment at 7:50 lol

Kels got a taller box to stand on!

Big and solid.........yep that looked awkward.

Hey Metal Jesus. You should make a review of all the Sierra and Lucas arts classics like leisure suit Larry, Sam and Max etc. You have nice pc boxes.

I remember way back in the day when my parents bought me a Virtual Boy, I thought it was the coolest thing around. I didn't have alot of friends and only had an NES at the time, which I was kind of to dumb to really know how to play, so I played alot of my Virtual Boy. In fact I still have that same Virtual Boy sitting with my Other games with almost all the US games inside the old Blockbuster rental case, Who remembers Rental Stores renting consoles Good times, and ever now and then then I still play it, bit hard some times since my legs are broken and have been broken fro ages. I know its not the greatest thing but its a part of who I am and I have fun with it and really I think thats all that matters is that you have fun.

Great guide! I picked up a Virtual Boy and a flash cartridge awhile back, looking forward to having some time to play with it soon!

can't erase the thought that kelsey will always standing on top of box in every metaljesus videos

That awkward moment was epic 😂😂😂 you guys are hilarious 😂😂 great video

Who clicked only to watch Kelsey?

I love the VB, awesome homebrew community as well. I have a complete US set and Fishbone, and Hyper Fighting too.

I am one of the few people who is a die hard virtual boy fan, it doesn't hurt my eyes or give me headaches, I can play it for hours on end and still do to this day. I've owned my console for 23 years and have always wished there were more games made for it.

I remember loving the Wario game on the Virtual Boy. I hope Nintendo releases these games for cheap on the 3DS for the Virtual Console. Mario Tennis was okay, Teleroboxer was cool because it felt "virtual," and I'll admit I beat Red Alarm so many times (probably because there weren't many games, so I played the same ones over and over). Anyways, great video Metal Jesus and Kelsey!!

Virtual Boy, the first video game console, to cause eye cancer in under an hour.

I was so torn between getting a Switch or a Virtual Boy, this video came out just in time! For real though, good detail in this :D

My family woke up on Xmas morning to find one under the tree without us kids even knowing what it was. I loved it. Trouble I had was that I suffer from migraines on almost a daily basis and found that if I played the VB for any length of time, it would cause me to have a worse migraine than I had already, or to have one in general if I had not been dealing with one. I will say this, It was amazing to lay in bed, with the VB laying on my face, headphones plugged in, using the stand attached to keep it oriented right and play through the night. I have never been able to sleep more than three hours in a row, so having something that I could do that would not keep my brother awake, or anyone else in the house was the bee's knees. I happened to really enjoy Mario Tennis, btw, lol. I sometimes wish I knee what happened to our VB. I am sure it is stuffed away on the family property somewhere, either in the attic or out in the pole barn.

Just tried the emulator on the oculus quest. Pretty amazing !

I have all this Nintendo Switch Stuff on my subscriptions and then I see: Should you buy a Virtual Boy?!😂

LMAO WTF 7:54 OMG

On the eye blocker you can peel off the outer silky layer and then it will be much nicer looking and easier to clean. It peels off 100% clean and looks great.

If you can pick only one color red is not a good choice. The army faced this choice with night vision and found out green is the easiest on the human eye and went with that color.

You should do a video with the Angry Video Game Nerd

Kelsey is so lovely

just played a virtual boy in super potato with my son for the first time in my life today.. played teleroboxer... and was pleasantly surprised! it was great and my six year old loved it. now he wants one for christmas :D

10:40 Sprites are the term I believe you're looking for. They were very common in early 3D games, because they provided a 3D "feel" while not as demanding as full 3D models.

Kelsey's hair is on point

She's cute and knowledgeable, I like! Thanks for bringing her on Metal Jesus.

I discovered this channel and these videos the other day and love them. Even started listening to a few episodes of Game Blitz. Kelsey is really knowledgeable.

i have a complete virtual boy collection except a couple boxes and manuals i even have jackbros and waterworld

It's a shame the bigger youtubers when talking about Virtual Boy never have the more interesting japanese games like Insmouse no Yakata or Space Squash, so the mainstream people are always left with the same view of the console. Not that the japanese games would be enough to sway a hater but it would help a little bit at least.

So youre "Big and Solid" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! well played brother well played

Only ever tried this once, at a retro gaming expo, and was pretty impressed with the system. I wish I'd added one to my collection a few years ago when they were dirt cheap. Unfortunately, today the system and the good games are more expensive than I'd be willing to pay for them. Thanks to the both of you for the cool video. It was very informative while also being entertaining.

Sorry MJR but I swear I saw Kelsey on a Match profile pic. She Was not the intended target but she was there.Kelsy, Kinsey and Anna are The MJR Rockettes and I enjoy every time I watch them. Keep it up I plan on moving to Okanogan Co soon and they have a great outdoor skating rink. Maybe we all can hang out and skate one of these days.

I see Kelsey and I watch

I can't push it out of my head that shes standing on a box XD

I have one. I found one at a garage sale in the late 90s. Tucked it away then. Still works great!

Your buying guide videos are really good, I do enjoy them and seeing your opinion's on what to buy and what you think's best for said system.

So is the virtual boy basically the Wii U of the 90s but worse ?

To be honest, stay away from this abomination...

Cool video as usual! And it's always great when you have Kelsey on. Keep up the good work sir!

I got mine at a pawn shop I was working at in '98. Had the BLockbuster rental case and 5 games. There was one in the system, too. Jack Bros. Hehe. I still enjoy Teleroboxer and Wario Land, though.

She is so cute. Smart of him to use her as thumbnails. :)

I'm still waiting for the Virtual Boy II.

I finally got to check one of these out at a vintage computer show last year. It was actually a LOT better than I had expected! I plan to add one of these to my collection, as soon as I get settled. Thanks also for the replacement stand info, I had no idea that anyone was offering modern replacements for those!?

If you have a modded Nintendo 3DS, there is a Virtual Boy emulator called Red Viper. You can use the 3d slider, no goggles needed. The effect is intense.

You can tell Metal Jesus wants Kelsey to sit on his face 10/10

Jeez, that awkward "big and solid like me" moment. Lol. Kelsey was soooo not sure what to say :)

I bought one of these right after they got discontinued for $39.99. new in box (at Kay-Bee Toys, RIP). Kicking myself for throwing away the box, but everything else still works great!

Did you know Jack Bros was the first Megami Tensi-related game released in the US?

Kelsey is wife material.

The real question is. Does the Virtual Boy come bundled with a Kelsey ?

I used to have one of these. When I worked at Best Buy as the media manager, I was lucky enough to take home the display unit when they went on clearance. I wish I still had mine.

You guys have wonderful chemistry.

KELSEY, NOTICE ME!

this lady gets taller every episode

Unfortunately I didn't really grow up in a gamer household as a kid, remember having an Atari when I was real young, then probably because it was cheap but my parents got me a Virtual Boy for Christmas one year, had all of those games you featured except the pin ball one and the First one you showed, remember enjoying Mario Tennis and Warioland a lot, Red Alert was near impossible to play, lol and I just never got the timing down on the boxing game, lol thanks for the trip down memory lane! Wonder what ever happened to mine? Hmm...

You didn't mention the ribbon cable problem! It causes lines to go out and is something that someone NEEDS to know about before buying and that even a functional system can develop it unexpectedly. We had a boxed system in my college's game history library that worked fine for years until one day it developed lines after just sitting in its box. It's kind of hard to fix, but not impossible.

Man hair vs. woman hair

Short answer: NO. Save you 19 minutes. You're welcome.

These were 20 bucks iirc, at TRUS back in '96 on clearance. I bought 2, played 1, the other never left the box and it's buried somewhere. Mario Tennis was fun, "Wario Land" was quite good, and if that "Red Alarm" begins with "T&E Soft Presents.." vocally, that was kinda fun too. Games were $5, went down to $2, and the battery pack adapter was $2 as well.

I picked one up 14 years ago with 4 games, half with manuals. Also had a friend give me his old one. Unfortunately neither have the eye price but I do have a stand for one of them.

She's so hot 🙈

She's the girl on the box buried in my games won't you come and play them? play them...

Loved the look on her face when you said "big and solid, like me". That was a slo-mo moment.

I bought the Virtual Boy stand that Hyprkin makes. It works for me. I just wish the angle forward was better.

Kelsey actually looks a bit like Tamara from Channel Awesome and the "Tamara's never seen" series of videos.

Woohoo, first one here!!

I picked up a rental model from Blockbuster when they were selling them off back in the day for $30 (with AC Adapter, the rental case, and a game), it was in great shape... almost like nobody used it. Had about 9 games with it but it just ended sitting there after about a month or two playing it. honestly most of the games I had just felt they could be on a normal system as the 3D wasn't really being used to great affect. Did beat games like Red Alarm and such. Finally sold it last year as it was just taking up space.

I remember it was sold at the toy r us and u would pick up a piece of paper and take it to the electronic counter and the person would look at the paper number and find it in the back and then give u the product what u r buying, then u would go to the check out counter 2 perches what u r buying.

Whoever this guy is he seems very uncomfortable around this girl.

the switch is nothing more than a fucking tablet with removable d pads

Always fun to see your video's. Just keep making them. But I have a question. I understand that you grew up with the 80's - 90's games machines, so dit I, so it is kinda normal to feel some nostalgia. But what about Kelsey ? Where and how did she get her interest in these 80's - 90's games/consoles/...?

I had one since they were on clearance in stores. Played it two or three times. Finally sold it a year ago.
