Nintendo is working on the future of gaming and that future is fast approaching. Code named "The Virtual Utopia Experience," Nintendo's latest game platform is a cross between futuristic virtual reality and the latest advances in computer hardware. Recently, Nintendo officially announced a name for this black-ops project, Virtual Boy.
Virtual Boy will be the first system to natively display true 3-D images directly out of the box. This system uses a dual LED display system that gives the user the perception of a 3rd dimension. To implement this technology, only the color red could be used. Nintendo assured us at Culosaurus Erectus that future upgrades will allow the Virtual Boy to render multiple colors.
The controller that comes with Virtual Boy will also be revolutionary. This is the first mainstream game controller that will use two directional pads to move in game characters along the X- and Y- axes simultaneous.
The Nintendo Virtual Boy has an anticipated release date of August 14th, 1994 with a price tag of approximately $200.
I thought the post about a virtual reality gaming system was interesting. It reminded me of the time when I went to a place called Disney Quest in Disney World. I was younger at the time. This place had all the arcade games that you could think of and they were all free. One section in Disney Quest had all virtual reality games like the one in the post. There was a masklike device that you looked into and it showed you the image of whatever game you were playing. In order to steer your character, you would have to turn your head in the direction that you wanted to go. You also had some kind of joystick in your hand to control the motions of the game. These games were ahead of their time. Virtual reality games will eventually go on sale to the public when technology advances.

I have never actually played a virtual reality game, other than our virtual blogs. I also never remember Nintendo releasing this new game system. I think it would be fun to try. I enjoy going to see movies at the IMAX Theater that are in 3D. It seems so real and I do not do anything, just sit and watch. To be able to play in a virtual world seems so much better to me. Also, because it is from the original Nintendo, it may be easier.
