DIY Virtual Boy arcade cabinet costs just a headache to play

As you could have noticed, we now have a bit a soft spot for Nintendo’s other 3D device, the Virtual Boy — despite its many, many flaws. So, it sort of feels, does DIYer Tighe Lory, who liked the oddball console lots that he built an full-size arcade cabinet for it. As you will find above, that comes complete with some custom joysticks that replace the Virtual Boy’s controller, together with a sliding mechanism that allows you to adjust the Virtual Boy itself to only the best height in preference to forcing you to hunch over a table. It even has some buttons on either side specifically for Galactic Pinball, and a few other authentic arcade touches like a Nintendo serial plate and a backlit marquee. Head on past the break for Tighe’s grand tour on video.
