Nintendo product makes top 10 ugliest gadgets?
PCWorld has an interesting article looking at the top 10 ugliest gadgets ever. These gadgets are prime examples of poor market research and lack of good user interface testing. Imagine my surprise when innovative Nintendo made the list! Amongst bad cell phone, the Furby, and a floppy disc drive for the Commedor, the Nintendo Virtual Boy has made the list.

Nintendo pulled the plug on the Virtual Boy a year after it’s debut. Did you ever own a Virtual Boy? The list on www.Virtual-boy.net shows that 14 games were released in the US and 19 in Japan. I wonder if this is the one project Nintendo looks back on and regrets.
