I used the Sunshine game streaming software and the WiiU homebrew port of Moonlight to get game streaming working on a WiiU gamepad. It's sort of like a bootleg Steam Deck, and it works surprisingly well, but it mostly just made me want a Steam Deck.

The virtual boy was ahead of its time, too. Teleroboxer is still my favorite game that no one played.

It's one of my favorites, too! Almost like a Punch Out!! spinoff. VB Wario Land is worthy of the praise it receives, but I also really like the Virtual Boy's StarFox-like, Red Alarm.

Red Alarm is definitely my Number 2 on VB, Followed by Wario. I need to search my basement and see if I still have them...

Teleroboxer reminds me of a cross between Punch Out & Metal Combat for the Super Scope, another underrated gem.

At least that one got a sequel!

Super deep cut (this might be my most obscure bit of Nintendo trivia as I couldn't find any images of it online), but have you ever seen the hidden wireframe models in Red Alarm? If you shoot very specific places in game, you can reveal low-poly 3D models of a Virtual Boy, Game Boy, and even a girl in a bikini... for some reason. I wonder if Nintendo's top brass were aware of that one when it shipped :-)

Ha!

I was about to mention those in my last comment! I remember it was like weird bits of terrain you had to shoot so many times in certain levels to get the Easter egg. Pretty sure I saw the locations in Nintendo Power...

A low poly wireframe bikini girl had to be hidden back in the day, and now there's porn games on the Switch Store!
