Yes, that reeks of scam. $110 is way to low for what’s being offered, but too high for “random person ended up with one and doesn’t know what it’s worth” but the feedback and pictures are a dead giveaway.

Some sort of scam, or at least something very fishy, occurred there. The seller of the $110.00 auction had zero feedback, and that seller used the same photos from this previous auction:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Virtual-Bowling-Nintendo-Virtual-Boy-Japan-VGOOD-/232487887567?epid=56258533&hash=item36215ba2cf%3Ag%3Ats8AAOSw0bxZujXe&nma=true&si=2HLNVfyCqJInT6eM%252FpEG2106U%252Bs%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I’m also pretty sure that picture was stolen from the last Virtual Bowling that was on eBay too, which wasn’t all that long ago.

They better give us a VB collection for Labo now

Hard pass. It would be like trying to play a VB while you’re also trying to hold it against your face because the stand is broken/missing; and few people are going to want to play laying on their backs with the LaboVR and their $300 Switch balancing on their faces while cardboard gets pressed into their skin–no thanks.

I really hope you’re joking around because this a bit of an outlandish comparison.

I’m with everyone else on this.. Pre-order, kickstarter, whatever you are most comfortable with.

Thought maybe I’d give this thread a bump since it’s about a year old now, see if anyone else has anything that isn’t already publicly known!

Thunderstruck, how are all those projects going you previously mentioned?

Sent an email a few days ago but damn I’m quite excited about this.

So excited to hear this is finally coming!

Aside from homebrews, repros of imports, and unreleased games, I’m not even sure if there are counterfeits of Jack Bros going around.

There definitely are for the Japanese titles but that’s a little different for identifying..

Do you have a pic of the game that seller is offering?

I’ve never heard of a Virtual Boy version.. could you possibly provide the image from the merchandising catalog?

I know this is a bit of an older post, but thank you for that DS case art. I went ahead and carved up this one spare red DS case I had a bit ago and got some thin foam board and ghetto made a case for my flash boy plus with it. The cutting job isn’t pretty on any of it, but it printed out alright enough and what’s important is the thing is protected.

Thanks.

Glad to have helped. It was a bit of a pain in the ass trying to find them all originally so I’m happy to make sure others avoid that.

Pretty certain it’s just the lighting. I highly doubt anyone would go through the trouble of a repro Red Alarm of all things.

You can also check the interior of the box and see if it’s the same gray cardboard material as the other boxs and not something else.

Myself and a couple of other people that I know of used this case

I’ll try to grab some pics of mine. The foam is easy to customize.

AFAIK the whole point is to supply loose copies (i.e. do away with the whole EBay CIB BS).

Well if that’s the only option, I’m still open for a copy or 2 depending on the price

I personally think Bound High! is the best game.

add Mario Clash and my list of suggestions looks identical to Dreammary’s

The PSVR one actually has a grid version that looks very similar to those pictures. Only difference is it’s green instead of red.

Have you been able to play the PSVR version? It’s really fun.

Absolutely want one if it’s CIB

I know you are still pretty early in development, but any pics you could share?

How about space invaders.. i’d like to see a “tusk” release of that too please! 😀

I was just thinking about this the other day too. Would be awesome to get a repro of it.

Not to worry, plenty of members are perfectly content with just the cart even.

Ah dang. Was thinking it was a complete copy. Trying to avoid buying anymore games in pieces.
