The Virtual Boy 3D game console.
The Virtual Boy was a video game console released by Nintendo in 1995. It simulated three dimensional graphics by using stereoscopic display that required the player to look into the device as though it were a large pair of binoculars on a stand. A battery pack was released, and it could function as a portable, albeit a rather large one. The console was not very well recieved and support for the system dropped off very quickly. It was one of the last inventions by Gunpei Yokoi.
Since then, it's stood as an example of how Nintendo innovation can fail. During the announcement of the unique Nintendo DS and the mysterious Nintendo Revolution, many critics brought up the Virtual Boy as a historic example that could repeat itself.
