Hey Everyone!
Incase anyone hasn’t seen, I’ll be doing some batches of reproductions of some Virtual Boy games. (more can be found here –> http://www.planetvb.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=6766&forum= ) I’m in works of seeing if I can get ahold of the guy responsible for Hyper Fighting. It’s no easy task, and It may just be easier to locate a proto of dragon Hopper :P.

BUT if I do get a hold of him, and I do get his blessing, curious, who would be seriously interested in a physical production of the game? I’m not sure of a price yet, depends on what I find out. But if I get the okay, and the ROM. I plan to release it with a newly designed label (which will help tell my batch from previous ones, plus I like the design I made more :P)

It’ll be cart only, but I’ll let Uncle Tusk use the artwork for him to create a box and manual for the game to help people get a CIB copy as well as let people who want just cart only to be cart only (In exchange I’ll just ask him for a free set for myself :P)

Just getting a feel for demand and a head count. I’ll keep you all posted from what I find out

Thanks!

(If this falls through, my first game will end up being Gundam SD English)

It is indeed the full version, not the demo
and I only mean that its hard to talk to the guy since I don’t know directly who it is, so I have to talk to a guy who knows a guy kinda thing. But don’t worry, its going to be alright ^-^

I’ll be setting up a final price and a pre-order post in the next few days

Put me in for a copy as well. I’ve been looking forward to being able to play the full version ever since the demo came out years ago.
The demo was what motivated me to get my Virtual Boy repaired about five years ago.

Sign me up as well!

Hi! I came over from the NintendoAge boards in order to get in on this release – been lurking for a while as a VB enthusiast! I’ll be watching this thread!

I’d go for 2 copy 🙂
Would be perfect with my link cable.

Thank you

I’ll order 1 copy too!

Put me down as well…..

I’d definitely be down for two copies!

Yeah, “Two copies”.One for me, another for EBay….No sorry, my friend, my cousin, my maths teacher….

Two copies, so that you can use the two player function maybe?

Put me down for one aswell 🙂

Final price would be nice but sounds very cool

Yes indeed in my case, as I’m lucky enough to have two JP Virtual Boys (one mosaic) that do get played and enjoyed especially when friends come over. Add that the VB was never released over here of course, let alone SF2.

SF2 is also my favourite game on the planet – I pretty much own every main version of it – including the arcade board, the JP Hyper SF2 Collectors Edition, a special MegaDrive custom ROM cart, and some other stuff like the original styleguide for SF2 licensing way back which is an amazing piece of literature and a great resource piece.

So just to clarify – none of this eBay nonsense, I’ve been here long enough to hope I’m reasonably well trusted. I also want to make a custom box that is like a Collector’s Edition of sorts, if I can. I think that would be cool to see.

Great buddy! I have three working systems here. Still need to test out the cable soon though.

Too bad we have this many haters on the internetz…. People are way too sad mooded it seems.

This would be awesome! I would deffinately purchase a couple.

I too would like a chance to get a copy!

I’m also interested in a physical copy of Hyper Fighting.

Slightly off-topic – can anyone point me to a FAQ for the game this is based on? Thx.

It’s based on a little known title from the 90’s called Street Fighter II by some indy shop named Capcom, so that’s probably why you haven’t heard of it 😛

Sorry. Couldn’t help myself 🙂 I’m pretty sure it is a port of the Genesis version of SFII: Special Champion Edition so I would just look on http://www.gamefaqs.com

It also has some rather unique unlocks:

Thanks. I guess I should have been more clear – I am familiar with SF II (who isn’t???), but I wasn’t sure if it was the arcade version (unlikely), the SNES, or some other console. I was a big fan of the Genesis, but I wasn’t into fighting games at the time, so didn’t own this game. Might have to pick up a copy of the Genesis version.
