Well, given that they intend to release that as a paid product and considering that this is unreleased Nintendo material, it would be very unwise to hype to early. Now that Nintendo has own VB plans, this could backfire fast.

That is not new. We have restored that sequence in the Polygo Block (jp version of 3D tetris) restoration hack. Unfortunately the hack never got finished and cant be released the way it is.
I quickly made a video of the current version: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2576908807

You are messing around with old stuff. This will bring you nowhere. And since nobody is using it anymore there wont be much help. I am no coder at all but was able to put together most of the VB mario Demo myself with VUEngine Sudio.

Just do the following:
Download and install VUEngine Studio https://www.vuengine.dev/
Download the Pong Example https://github.com/VUEngine/Pong and open it in VUEngine Studio
Compile the project. If the projects compiles and you got a rom, you can check the Pong Logo GFX inside VUEngine Studio. It will open the correct windows for you. There you can import your BMP. Once done hit compile again and check the titlescreen of your Pong example. It should show your GFX now.
This was the first thing I did with VB Mario and then I went from there.
Till this point was no coding knowledge needed.

nice!

very nice!
If you can, find a copy shop or print house with a large scanner and let it scan in 600DPI.
That is a very good chance to preserve this box in such a condition.

According to John Carmack a VB Doom would have been difficult.
He said a Wolfenstein 3D would be a much better option.

Robert, you should be careful with this ebay user.
He has the very same flyers (same pictures) right now on yahoo auctions online just with a cheaper price.

what a scammer. This guy is selling the same items at the same time on ebay and yahoo.jp
Apparently the guy has several accounts on yahoo auctions.

That cable is on both platforms with the same pictures.
yahoo is cheaper with “just” €367.20

Same with Sace Invaders:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/174902343693?hash=item28b8fdf80d:g:2yoAAOSwj5FhIKZ2
https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/x771312965

There are many more examples right now for example with the flyers and with the Bound High Carts
On ebay thge prices are always double as high as on yahoo auctions.

Okay, I do not want to ruin anyones dreams but here are the facts.
Yes, the game is rare. It always was. I was not able to score a shrink wrapped copy about 20 years ago.
So far so good. Here in your still on going auction since march 21 we see a copy in a perfectly shity condition and you ask 999 USD. So now I was clicking your link above and it brought me to a ebay page saying that the item cost 999 USD +
and here it comes… wait… okay here: + $264.07 Addl. Costs WTF???
A copy in a more or less similar condition sold for not that long ago in a real auction for not even 500 USD.
Guys get real! Yes, some VB items are rare but they do not shit gold.
Also nobody is looking for additional cost of $264.07. Back out of that international shipping program on ebay.

The Virtual Boy/Girl logo color is to bright.

My hope is still with the leaks

Just 100? Wow so I had one of the 100 at one point XD

That is cool. This Issue was always quite expensive on ebay or yahoo. Now we all can have a look 🙂

That said, I really like the Top Gear games on the N64.
Bossgames did very well there 🙂

Nintendo has nothing to do with unreleased 3rd party games especially if that game was not even approved by Lotcheck.
In this case we are also talking about software almost 30 years old. NDAs from that time are probably expired anyway. They won’t last a lifetime. The plain game binary does not contain problematic stuff. The source code or the VB SDK could be a problem. Nintendo is probably not even aware that this game exists.
What happens to the game is entirely up to the developer.

Nobody can or should force a release of course thats fully up to Seth but it is tiring that Nintendo or ages old NDAs are always used as a excuse not to release stuff.

“Unfortunately, Nintendo will not allow the release of the prototype as it is copyright protected, something that Seth cannot break. ” That is horse shit and somebody really needs to tell him this.
The copyright is with Bossgames. Nintendo has nothing to do with that.

okay I have to correct my last post. I checked back with some people.
There are 5 IDs that were skipped in the documents. So that could hint to unreleased games.
Time will tell.

let me guess, this items go now for an arm and a leg… XD

[Goemon]

There is a document out there with lotcheck lists for the systems. This contains also Virtualboy.
This list mentioned 5 unreleased games. Since it is lotcheck this games in question should be final.
We have no names for those games but I think it should be easy to guess which games that could be.
The way I see it, if the leaks continue, we have pretty good chance to finally see more VB content this year.
I would say its a 50/50 chance now.

That is maybe true but then again what we are talking about here is a generic plastic key chain. That is very standard marketing and merchandise material.
I would not be surprised if you still find the exact model or something similar like the key chain in merchandise stores like this https://www.budgetkeychains.com/Custom-Plastic-Keychains

In any case, the price in this auction is insane for such a items. If more people are interested in such a key chain, lets order a batch of key chains and let them print the VB logo on it = Win.
