Re: One Of The Virtual Boy Games Coming To Switch Is "Worth $10,000"

The game (which you get access to) is worth $5-10, or possibly less.
The physical item (which you don't get) is worth whatever crazy people with a dumpster full of cash think it is.

Unless you're a crazy person with a spare dumpster full of cash, maybe it's best to just take "access to" a game that you'll probably play for 10 minutes and then forget about.

Re: 'Sega's Switch' Lives On Thanks To This Absolutely Incredible Mod

I had a Sega Nomad back in the day and can confirm that it would freeze if shaken at all. It made it quite difficult to get through games.

Battery life was non-existent and the screen was much better than the original Gameboy but still bad (which this mod fixes, of course) but I did get quite a bit of use out of it via an AC adapter when stuck traveling to not-so-fun places that I had to wait a long time at.
One of the things was allergy shots, which involved a lot of waiting both before and after, and many visits to the office, so I'm very glad I had it back then.
