As you’ve probably already seen, Nintendo’s Japanese museum is close to opening, and the internet has been flooded with preview images showing off exhibits, displays and – yes – merchandise.
As reported by our friends at Nintendo Life, the museum’s shop is packed with goodies covering pretty much every era of the company’s history, including Wii, N64, Game & Watch and Virtual Boy.
The inclusion of the latter seems to have surprised some people, given that the Virtual Boy is one of Nintendo’s most high-profile flops.
While it didn’t sell particularly well, Nintendo has acknowledged the Virtual Boy previously; it appeared in Tomodachi Life, WarioWare and even as a bonus item in the 3DS StreetPass mode.
So it perhaps shouldn’t come as a massive shock to see Nintendo promoting the Virtual Boy via shirts and other merch, but that doesn’t make us want these items any less.
How much is a flight to Japan again?
