Most people who own one, myself included, generally have the opinion that it's a neat novelty with a handful of fun games. There's a lot of parroting of opinions in VB threads by people who have never played one IRL.

Pic related, it's my VB.

Holy shit, I am so glad I stopped collecting around a decade ago, now I just buy the occasional Japanese game. In the late 90s nobody wanted this shit, old electronics were considered junk. I used to buy NES carts for $3 or maybe $5 all over the place. I actually bought a bag of SNES games, maybe a dozen, for $10 at a Value Village one time. My Virtual Boy was like $5.99. I used to see Atari stuff for practically nothing, people we're giving them away. These prices are fucking crazy; if you had told me five or six years ago that N64s were selling for over $100 I would've laughed. I'm lucky enough to have a decent collection but I've never paid more than $10 for a game. I feel bad for you guys now.
