Verified live by HTTP probe across 16 observations. Pulse momentum is positive over 30 days (+9.6). Observation is liveness-only: no tracked press, repository, or traffic rank — existence is confirmed, momentum is unobserved.

Nintendo Virtual Boy's listed site resolved live when we last probed it on Aug 19, 2026, so we mark it verified alive. It has fewer than two observed signal families, so no Pulse Index is composed — the evidence strip shows what is and isn’t present. Observed footprint: 4 functional tags. It has no curated competitive-alternative edges yet, so the comparable set below is functional tag-similarity — read it with the confidence flags.

Confidence reflects source and category coherence: curated = an editorially linked alternative; similar = strong functional tag-overlap in the same category; tag-overlap = shared tags only and may be noisy. Overlap is the shared functional-tag ratio (Jaccard) for tag-matched rows. Pulse is the observed-activity index real and 30d Δ its signed month change; a dash means insufficient observed history, never zero.

Funding & team

not in source

No disclosed funding in our sources. Funding data covers only ~1% of the corpus (462 rounds across 79K products), so absence here is unknown, not zero— we don't estimate a number we can't source.
