    I see other people posting Youtube videos here, so I hope this is cool. Don't expect a series or whatever, it's just this one video.

    Last year I made a Virtual Boy commercial to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Virtual Boy. It was a thing we were doing on the Planet Virtual Boy website. As you could imagine it's fairly small in activity when compared to other websites, so I figured I may as well post it here. Hopefully some of you will get a kick out of it.

    This is basically supposed to be a tongue in cheek throwback to a 90's video game commercial. Hope you enjoy.

    Good work! This is pretty great. I'd definitely like to see you make another.

    Pretty awesome. Was SFII in development for the Virtual Boy?

    To answer that question, no, you can't beat Super Meat Boy.

    Thanks everyone! I might just make another one, I had a lot of fun making this one. I was thinking of doing one for the DMG Gameboy, but I'm pretty sure mine shat itself. Might do it on the Gameboy Pocket instead since that one still works. That would also make it another 20th anniversary video. Not really the goal, but hey, why not.

    SFII was a homebrew, though it could fool most as an official product, it's really hard to tell it's homebrew. If you're interested you can look through my videos, I did a review on the CIB, or there's just a gameplay video as well.

    Good idea. I'm comfortable with this one not having the effect, being mid 90's, but were I to do a DMG Gameboy one for example I'd have to try an effect like that.

    My connection made it unintentionally funnier. "...allows for TRUE 3-D control!" *switches to back of controller* ... buffering... buffering...
