THIS IS HAPPINESS WE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE TO FIGHT MUCH FOR

One of the most incredible uses of free will I’ve ever seen

The games?? Dumped?? I was gonna play on Switch but our expensive Switch Online expansion pack expired and my patience is killing me! x_x

At least now they’ll finally f—ing deliver once a few brave souls hack the online service and release the roms of Zero Racers and D-Hopper, lol

Looks like someone beat Vintex64 with this one!! Lol. Hopefully one day soon it can still be dumped!!

Wow, I have actually overlooked this magazine section but I hugely thank you for telling me about it. I feel like this game was glossed over when it comes to lists of “cancelled virtual boy games” because while I knew of several others like Goldeneye, Dragon Hopper, Power Rangers, Doraemon, etc, I didn’t even know this game existed until very recently. Anyways, I figured I’d leave these snapshots here, although four of them use the same in game screenshot, and two of these magazines page designs are very similar to one another. This list of upcoming games at the time also comes from a description of Famicom Space World ’95 which came up while researching this game;

“Many new games for the Virtual Boy were shown by third parties, giving their debuts on the show. A few were reportedly playable, like Polygo Block and Virtual Block.”

Doraemon by Epoch
Faceball by BPS
J-League 3-D Stage by J-Wing
Out of the Deathmount by J-Wing
Polygo Block (Released in North America as “3-D Tetris”) by T&E Soft
Protious Zone by Coconuts
SD Gundam Dimension War by Bandai
Shin Nihon Pro Wrestling by Tomy
Sora Tobu Henry by Human
Virtual Block by Bottom Up
Virtual Bomberman by Hudson Soft
Virtual Bowling by Athena
Virtual Double Yakuman by VAP
Virtual Gunman by Victor Entertainment

Hmm. Years you say? Can you recall the earliest year you remember this website bringing these “leads” up? I completely forgot to say in one of my last replies that the first email I got from them was in mid October of 2023. Nearly a concerning 2 years now which isn’t giving me much hope. That and we’re well into 2025 now, haha.

I can easily hear this in a Smash game for how good this sounds, my god

From the wiki in the link: “This is an arrangement of “Mochi” from Lonely Wolf Treat using the instruments of the advertised track.”

I think the title screen is a very well made fake.

Ok so, I had to make an account for this alone, but, I rediscovered an email I received from this site almost a year ago, thinking I didn’t get a response. I came across it looking for any reproduction carts of Bound High to add to my collection. Although I will say the English here is a little bit off and somewhat concerning, and keeps me completely split on whether or not this is indeed true. Then again this would be a pretty elaborate hoax to put up listings of repros of Dragon Hopper and alike super early like this, but who knows. Here’s an exact copy paste of the email I recieved in April of last year;

“Hi Sir,

We have been contacted by a pretty smart person who claimed to have these prototypes, we sent him a whole pile of free stuff, and he was impressed to show us some details. It looks like the real deal.

He asked we make preliminary listings, fix a price, and get more FB+ ready. Then he plans to give us the files for release later. His big goal is affordable release to those who appreciate them. He is very particular that he’ll decide when.

One update is he may hold off a Mario Land VB, but others on track. Me and team pushing to get everything ready.

I think many know about this, but they don’t see much. Many strong options for VB reproductions. We normally would never put up a listing like that unless it looks really true or possible.

We put you on the waiting list, and you’ll get access to the first batch. The timeline looking late this year or next year. Again the contact will decide.”

The last paragraph below is from an earlier email reply from October of 2023. One I also somehow thought I didn’t recieve an answer to;

“We have a contact who claims to have worked for Nintendo and also claims to have these files and more. We sent him some free stuff and he showed us in a virtual meeting that he appears to have these prototype games. He asked we make a preliminary listing, have a black shell available, and a few more things. If all goes well easily next year we may have screenshots and items ready on our website to purchase. No concrete proof now, but he looks promising. We also will pre-program our FlashBoy+ with any prototype upon purchase/request when the time comes.”

So yeah. Something about a guy claiming to work for Nintendo reminds me of those kids in the old Xbox Live days claiming their dad works for Microsoft or something like that, lol. I agree with Kazin here for us to remain cautiously optimistic. But for me I’m mostly cautious as of now. I will say that at least, the few who have talked about Vintex64 online don’t seem to have any issues with their repros from what I could tell, but don’t quote me on that. Fingers crossed tight.
