None of thy above. It was the Virtual Boy game console. It literally lasted above 5 months before Nintendo pulled it from that market. Only about 68-10 games were released for it, with about 6-7 more getting ready to be released. The reason what it failed? There were many, many reasons, but here are the key reasons.
1. The red LED images on the screen had an almost 3D effect, which caused eye strain and headache for most people who used it for longer then 30mins. I tried it for about 15 mins and felt disoriented after taking my head out of the View finder.
2. The console sat on a 2 legged tripod and you have put your head up to it to see the images. The side blinder shut of your peripheral vision. It was like looking into the eye machine at the Eye Doctors. After about 30mins or more, youre neck would start to hurt.
3. Even though the controller wasn't that bad, the games were all one color (RED) with different shades. Many of them weren't that fun.
4. The game console cost $180 back in 1995. A lot more then the Gameboy, but cheaper then the PS1, Jaguar, N64, 3DO and Sega Saturn. The other systems were 100x's better however, except maybe the Atari Jaguar, which sucked.
