Nintendo Virtual Boy, John Lennon’s back catalogue and a discussion on the good and bad of software testing. All on today’s On This Day from TestHuddle.
1995 – Nintendo Virtual Boy 
Nintendo releases the Virtual Boy video game console in North America. The system comes bundled with Mario’s Dream Tennis. The system was designed to fill a gap in the market before 32-bit consoles like the Nintendo 64 and Playstation came onto the market. The system retailed at a price of $180. Other games available for the system include Galactic Pinball, Red Alarm, and Teleroboxer. Virtual Boy was deemed a failure not long after launch. Due to poor sales and poor reception, as well as complaints of dizziness by those playing the console, the Virtual Boy will be discontinued in mid 1996. In total, only twenty-two games will be released, and only fourteen of those will be released in North American.
