Virtual Boy was Nintendo's only big failure. How big? pretty big; the guy who created virtual boy also came up with gameboy and metroid... and they still fired him after the virtual boy's horrible flop...

Men rob convenience store using NES Zapper
Two men were sentenced to 10 years in prison on Monday for robbing a Kentucky gas station with an NES Zapper.
Arthur Swain, 18, and Jeremy Goins, 20, of Covington held up an Ameristop Food Mart in May for $100 dollars cash. The two men, who plead guilty to second degree robbery, each received a maximum 10 year sentence from the Kenton Circuit Court Judge.
Interestingly, eyewitnesses and law enforcement failed to initially recognize the "weapon" as a twenty year-old toy gun, the NES Zapper.
"Victims and police did not know the gun was a toy until after it was all over," prosecutors said during sentencing on Monday. "The defendants could have easily gotten themselves or innocent bystanders shot."
