Hello Planet Virtual Boy!!

I’m a long time lurker, but first time poster. 🙂

The struggle has been real in trying to obtain a CIB version of all the Virtual Boy games. I’m extremely envious of all of you that have a complete set!!
(I just recently got that ever evasive Blockbuster Mario Tennis Box!! That completes my NA Official release set!)

This last year at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, I happened to stumble across the SD Gundam reproduction. Of course, without hesitation I purchased it! Having this now made me want an NA/English box version of all the remaining Japanese games.

I tried searching around to see if anyone had already done so, but couldn’t find anything… SO I’ve taken it upon myself to do it!

I currently aim to do the following:
– Virtual Fishing [ (!) ]
– Insmouse No Yakata [ (!) ]
– Space Invaders
– Virtual Bowling
– Virtual Lab
– V-Tetris

Here is a link to a preview of the completed ones so far!

I even made cart labels for these as well! 🙂

Unfortunately, I have no means or even knowledge in getting it printed. Last time I went to a print shop to get something printed for another project… they yelled at me for trying to abuse copyright or something… T_T

None the less, I wanted to share these with you guys and join the community! 🙂

Enjoy!

(P.S. : These boxes are based on the Virtual League Baseball box. It was the only extra I had that I was willing to flatten and scan as reference. Hehe.)

15 CIB copies of Virtual Bowling are now up over at UncleTusk.com!! 😀

Get it while it’s hot!!

Is it the translated game or just a repro of the JP game?

As far as I’m aware, the Japanese game was already fully in English.

Aww yes~!

Yeah, wanted to buy the last box but well… no paypal on the site possible and I don’t have a credit card. 🙁

Yea, I’m not really sure why Tusk doesn’t have a paypal option. 😕

You should try e-mailing/contacting him directly!

I bought mine with PayPal. Just contact him with the e-mail address on his website.

After working on this project for over 3 years, I can finally say… it’s done!!! All 6 Japanese exclusive games now have a NA style variant. 🙂

I’m going to release all the files and images I used here in a week or so, so please wait just a little longer while I compile everything together.

I want to thank Thunderstruck, Benjamin, UncleTusk, and everyone at PVB for helping me through out the years. Y’all are the best!

Here are the base templates I created and used for this project:

I also created new versions of the inserts that can be found here:

(If anyone does create anything with these, it would be super cool if you sent me one!)

(I needed to cut the fish out of the background in order to place him in a better position for the NA style box.)
