I picked up my copy of the new Simpson's game for the Wii yesterday. I spotted a picture of a Virtual Boy in the first cutscene with Bart. He was in the video game store to pick up his copy of Grand Theft Scratchy. There is a poster of the VB on the front of the counter that says "Have You Seen Me?" I thought it was interesting enough to post about. I didn't even notice it until my second time through it. It's nice to see Nintendo still has a sense of humor about the VB (that, or they just really enjoy taunting the VB fanboys). I wonder if the VB's appearance is exclusive to the Wii version only. Can anyone else confirm or deny this?
