Somebody tech-savy enough will extract the ROMs from NSO so that Zero Racers and Dragon Hopper can be played in real-hardware and emulation.

This pretty much shot up the possibilities of seeing any other unreleased VB games that might be completed, with Bound High! being the most obvious one. Virtual Bomberman, Niko-Chan Battle, Virtual League Baseball 2, Virtual Block, and Virtual Tank could have a chance too!

I really hope Nintendo give us the option to play VB games without the accesories.

We hope your situation improves soon! Also, really cool to see a former Virtual Boy game programmer still around here with us ^_^

Thank you to everybody involved in the ROM release! I will give it a try 😀

Who thought we would live long enough to see Nintendo actually re-release Virtual Boy games at last. Although i have this unnerving feeling that Nintendo might now target sites hosting Virtual Boy roms, including Planet Virtual Boy, and take them down… :\

Here is a report of the discovery by MO5.com:

I gave it a spin via the Wii Mednafen emulator and yeah… The ceilling and floor textures are all messed up but i am nevertheless amazed at the 3D engine on display. Excellent work all around 😀

Holy $#@¥! Never i thought i would see Virtual League Baseball 2 surfacing once again! All that we need now is the original Japanese version, but that would be extremely unlikely. Everybody should spread the word so that ThrownAway can recoup his investment. I am doing my part in that regard. I can’t wait to play it this September 😀

Banda Virtual really is a weird but cool group to have around making VB homebrews!

Looks good! Congratulations on your game being released!

Maravilloso! Gonna give this a try later today!

Same here! I still have my original Virtual Boy from my middle school days in good shape and i like the system and its games unironically. Same goes for the Atari Jaguar, which i also had two times during my middle and high school days as well. My collection is not that big but i’m still happy to own Virtual Boy: Wario Land and the other games. Seriously Nintendo, stop with your stupidity and re-release the Virtual Boy titles!

It’s too bad Kaoru Kita’s website no longer mentions Dragon Hopper (http://kmkstudio.plala.jp/~kamiki/diarypro/diary.cgi?mode=profile&user=admin) and nobody archived it for future reference 🙁 Alongside Zero Racers, this is the Virtual Boy proto i’m looking foward the most to play if the day where a working prototype ever arrives during our lifetimes…

Awesome! But seriously, what other game systems don’t have their own version of Bad Apple!!? XD

Cool! Gonna give it a try on Mednafen 🙂

Sorry for the almost six-months response but here’s my mock-up drawings for a potential Virtual Lab 2 for Virtual Boy 🙂

Thanks KR155E! Gonna give this a shot on Mednafen 🙂

Currently i have an injury in my left arm but i plan to post mock-up drawings based on XKizuha’s work to refine it a bit more to see it we can one-up Virtual Lab’s overall look for this potential idea 🙂

What happened to that sweet-looking Micro Machines-esque F-Zero racer? I would absolutely love to play that 😀

I really hope someday we can all see at the very least gameplay footage from Dragon Hopper that’s not from the E3 1996 showcase… 🙁

Awesome! 😀
