In 1995, Nintendo released its Virtual Boy, touted as the first console that could display stereoscopic 3D graphics. By the following year, it was all over, with the Virtual Boy dismissed as a commercial failure. Here's an extract from @arstechnica reporter/tech historian @benjedwards and Dr. Jose Zagal's new book, "Seeing Red: Nintendo's Virtual Boy," covering the development and demise of the console, and the philosophy of Gunpei Yokoi, the designer behind it.
From Pong on the Atari to Mario Bros on Nintendo there as a massive leap in what appeared to be possible on such limited hardware. The hardware engineers and software developers at Nintendo were able to achieve such an amazing result due to their clever solutions.
Today we have these modern AI systems which clearly have limitations. I am now thinking what would it take for this same leap from Atari to Nintendo. We know there are problems with GenAI, but what could be done with it with these known limitations? The possibilities are still pretty hard to fathom. #AI#GenAI#Nintendo#Atari
For once the Nintendo store's "register your interest" thing worked for me as I've been able to preorder a copy of the Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Deluxe Set that comes with all those cool extras and a physical version of the game of course.
Had so many instances in the past where I had registered my interest but then never got the follow up email and missed out on their limited editions. It's nice to have it finally work. #Nintendo

Just want to end this post with a thank you to everyone supporting this account. This post is currently being scheduled a few weeks in advance (today's the 25th of April), but right now, I may possibly be preparing for GCSE exams since they start this week for me on Thursday. Seriously, thank you.
