In what has come as a surprise to many, a number of hardware prototypes were added to the Nintendo Museum just days before the official opening date.

One of the key complaints brought up with the location prior to its opening was that based on what was shown in the Direct and to the press, Nintendo didn’t delve much into its history here. However, this has been rectified a bit. Now that the museum has just started to open, fans have discovered that many prototypes are on display, including the earlier times with the Super Famicom and Virtual Boy, extending into the Wii U era. Some have been shown publicly before, but many have not.

An interesting tidbit about the Nintendo Museum in Japan has come to light, which is that the playable Virtual Boy station is actually emulated on Switch.

There are a number of things to see and do at the museum, including playing systems and games from Nintendo’s history. The Virtual Boy is ultimately a small footnote for Nintendo given how it didn’t sell particularly well and had a short lifespan. Still, those looking to check out the retro console will be able to do so.
