Nintendo's 3D Virtual Boy comes to your smartphone VR headset thanks to emulator tweak

Consider yourself an early adopter of VR gaming because you've already got your Oculus Rift or HTC Vive? That's cool and all, but you're a couple decades behind the times (if not more). Back in 1995, Nintendo released its first real-3D gaming console, the Virtual Boy. Years before the company returned to the idea with the Nintendo 3DS, the system was a hugely ambitious gamble – one that flopped, big time. But while the Virtual Boy may be no more, now you can relive its early 3D gaming experience on your smartphone thanks to some emulation software and a Google Cardboard-compatible viewer.
After the big financial disappointment the Virtual Boy proved to be, we're not betting that Nintendo's feeling too favorable about reviving the brand any time soon, but could we maybe get some modern Cardboard-friendly action from one of its future smartphone games? Time will tell.
