Yesterday and today have been unhinged with this Virtual Boy shit.
Phil acting like he got scammed by Nintendo because he is clueless and will make blind purchases based on the voices in his head and no other information.
For anyone who doesn't know, Nintendo has an online membership where you get NES, SNES, N64, and so on, collections to play on the Switch and Switch 2. Because of this, they sell controllers for the Switch on Nintendo Online, so you can play your SNES games on an SNES controller, but its wireless and for the Switch/Switch 2 exclusively.
Not a single fucking person who interacts with the Nintendo Online system, which is good value if you are a Nintendo fanboy, thought for a second that the Virtual Boy thing was anything but the peripheral for the Virtual Boy games so you can experience them as you would have. Not one person thought it was a $99 VR headset that just makes your Switch 2 a 3D VR device.
But here comes Phil Burnell, who thinks you can be taught how to be smart (which isn't his job to teach you), who got the base tier membership (promise you no one gets this one), to be able to buy a device that only exists to actually get something out of the Virtual Boy collection, which an average person already thinks is lame and wants Nintendo to release good GameCube games. He does all this blindly, thinking the device is not a shell for your Switch, but a full electronic device that will have HDMI out ports, not even knowing that the Virtual Boy collection is behind the main tier of the subscription.
He is such an old man its fucking crazy, and like the old faggot he is, immediately claims that he was scammed. And you know what the ONLY solution to Nintendo scamming people (Phil) is for every single person on earth to complain to the media and write up articles about how this old man was scammed and then Nintendo would have to change.
Every complaint he has about this, is either something that is understood to be why the device failed when it first launched, or something tied to Phil buying stuff (getting memberships to buy stuff even) blindly without looking into a single aspect of the device.
Then, of course, for the Virtual Boy stream, he has to sit there and download every collection, act like it makes him cool to have access to them like you don't have access, and talk about a queue of things downloading as "we've got a lot of work to do".
Now acting like no one knows what this is again, to the audience who watched him unbox it, giving you every detail he can come up with for his presenter persona for the DSPGaming television channel he runs, like how its a replica "in form factor and size".
This is fucking madness. And the weight! He doesn't know anything about the faults of the original, but claims to not just know the weight of the original, as if he owned it, but from memory be able to tell you the weight 30 years later.
