Interesting and informative. Did not notice any coverage of the Virtual Boy. Maybe it is considered a handheld but then the Switch looks more like an oversized handheld that plugs into a bigger screen.
I always thought of the Virtual Boy as a handheld system, even though you do have to set it on a table. Maybe they see it in the same way. I thought the video was interesting enough to share. You can learn some fascinating stuff watching these. :)
