The '''[[gametech:Virtual Boy|Virtual Boy]]''' is a fifth-generation luggable game console released by Nintendo and created by Game Boy creator [[wikipedia:Gunpei Yokoi|Gunpei Yokoi]] on August 14, 1995. It has a NEC V810 CPU. It was the first games console to utilize 3D effects, however, is notable for only displaying graphics in red and black, as well as requiring users to attach the console to their head, usually while rested on the included tripod. The product was pulled shortly after release due to the majority of users getting headaches from using it. Notably, it was rushed to market and was never meant to be released in its current form.
