Probably the virtual boy. It was so cool at the time, I got Red Alert(?) and it was fantastic. Then there was like, a bowling game, and maybe a wario game? And nobody made anything else for it, and it sat in a drawer for years before my parents made me get rid of it. It could have been so good.
Aw I came for this answer. I was fortunate to see through the BS because I was very immersed in the tech at the time, but the VB genuinely had cool potential and I wanted it to succeed so it could lead to new generations of full-color VR (which took like another 2+ decades).
Yup came here to say this. Had Mario tennis and I’m sure some other game but yeah not a lot of games. However it did cause a lot of headaches.
But otherwise I mean, I’ve not bought anything I would say is disappointing but also I haven’t bought any current gen bullshit.
WiiU was maybe a little closer to a disappointment? But more so because it wasn’t as popular. I absolutely loved the 2nd screen for shit like shoving the UI for MH3U on there so I could look at it while keeping the main screen clear.
