And I have to admit, the 3D effect deserves loads more credit than the gamer-consensus (in general) gives it.
Yes, it hurt my eyes (afterward, not during). Yes, I became dizzy. Yes, it's stupid to have it on a little tripod. Yes, the games are limited (to put it politely). Yes, yes, the console was enormously flawed, a thousand times yes.
...but the fact that the 3D actually WORKED, and the fact that it worked WELL in practice...why...that's something all my reading-up on the console didn't prepare me for. For years I was glad the VB failed. Now that I've seen the validity of the technology, I wish it had time to grow into a better second-generation version of itself.
