I remember the stuff about Project Atlantis, but I'm not convinced the original was going to be a lot more powerful than GBA. I think some of that was sensationalist reporting.

Neat for all of five minutes, when you realize that everything done with Virtual Boy could've been done on any system and without migraines.ourumov said:Apparently, after a bit of research, it seems like NEC's CPU was rated @ 18-20 MIPS which is about the same value than the ARM7 in the GBA.
Edit: I never played VB, NEVER...I wonder how the experience was.

I don't know...didn't Yamauchi once claim that the GBA would be as powerful as a Dreamcast? Perhaps at the time he said that, it really was true.snapty00 said:Well, not overclocked. Just clocked higher.
