It was like the Vive headset that’s on sale today
I used VR in the arcades back in the mid-90s - and the games were designed for 5 minutes of action. I guess using it for longer than that might have really messed with people's eyes and brain.

Hmm, didn't Jez San also once claim that Super Mario 64 was ripped off an early demo of Croc he showed to Nintendo? I don't believe him, TBH, and if he had designed something like that circa 1994, it'd have been unimaginably expensive to the consumer, which has never been how Nintendo usually operates.

I met him a couple of times, nice chap and always seemed entirely genuine and very smart. He helped make the Super FX chip and the Argasm assembler on the Amiga (which assembled so fast compared to DevPac that we used to think it had failed) and I believe he could well have had a hand in VR way back then.

I just think though... Nintendo built their first handhelds around calculators, didn't release a handheld with a colour screen until 1998, didn't adopt optical discs until 2001 and high-definition graphics until 2012, are rather backwards still about the Internet... I'm not entirely surprised that Nintendo went for a (relatively) cheap machine based around red LEDs instead.
