Faceball on Virtual boy is finally being released!

[segagamer99]

Hey everyone,

 

Recently, Bound High! was released on the Virtual Boy after many years. Now, Planet Virtual Boy has also obtained Faceball! The rom will be released, but only after the cart release. Read the whole thread here.

Also, apparently this is the best version of Faceball, so that's great news.

 

Here is a rare review of the game.

I do wonder if Dragon Hopper and Zero Racers will ever show up though...

I had no idea that Bound High or this title were found. Nor that there was a VB forum. Keep us updated over here. Very interesting.

Interesting indeed. I wonder if the release will be large enough for demand or just large enough for the classic gaming elite to get their hands on a copy.

The release is more of a fundraiser actually. There are two editions, the regular prototype for $100 with box and manual and everything, and a $200 donator's edition with a ton of artwork and extra stuff that comes with it. Also, because the original game wasn't complete(no Arena mode, 4 stages were all the same 14 levels each, but faster enemies), someone is working on creating the rest of the 56 levels, and if we're lucky, might include the finished Arena mode. That will be "Faceball: Remastered", and may be the $100 or $200 edition.

Also check out DanB's cool Ballface homebrew, which he based off of descriptions and videos by Mr. G, the previous owner of face ball, before knowing it would be bought.
