Virtual Boy Returns as Switch 2 Accessory, A Nostalgic Yet Uncomfortable Revival

Nintendo's $100 Virtual Boy for Switch 2 is a surprisingly faithful but awkward homage that slides a Switch into a red-goggled shell to run seven classic Virtual Boy titles (via Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack); while accurate in look and tweakable for future software, it demands a case-free setup, lacks IPD/focus adjustment, has limited games (with Wario Land the standout), no wired controller, and some app quirks, making it more a history lesson than a practical gaming solution - yet it offers a rare glimpse into the era of early glasses-free 3D.

Corsair Launches Mac-Compatible Gaming Keyboard and Mouse

Apple has partnered with Corsair to introduce its first official gaming keyboard and mouse for Mac users, marking a significant step in its gaming ambitions. The Corsair K65 mechanical keyboard and M75 wireless mouse are designed with Mac layouts and are available in exclusive colors at Apple stores.
