Nintendo Put a Red 3D Screen on Your Face in 1995, and Players Got Headaches...
Nintendo's Virtual Boy was a console you looked into like a pair of binoculars, and it caused trouble for the people who played it. Nintendo Wire says it was lambasted for causing players great discomfort during play, including headaches, dizziness and nausea. It was gone in a year: Nintendo Wire says it was discontinued in August 1996 in the United States, a single year after its launch.
The color was a budget call. Wikipedia says Gunpei Yokoi retained the supplier's choice of red LED because it was the cheapest. Every screen came out in the same red.
Nintendo Life says you need a flat surface and a chair to use it, which put an end to playing on your feet.
The sales were small. Engadget says that in June 1996 Nintendo reported the console had sold 770,000 units, and Wikipedia says only 22 games were actually released.
