Has everyone else already seen this or have I stumbled upon something special here?
😮

My apologie if this has been posted before, I did a bit of searching just to be sure but couldn’t find anything.

I think it was posted on the forum a while ago, but either way, it’s still cool for those who haven’t seen it.

Yes indeed, this is the first time I’ve seen it and I thought it was simply awesome. Now if someone would make a vid like this for Dragon Hopper…. hmm. 😛

i would love to see some dragon hopper footage. or even some nicer screen shots.

I would also appreciate some video footage with SOUND (I still don’t know what the game sounds like at all), preferably with quality that isn’t crap (like the one video on this site) and also featuring some actual gameplay.

To further emphasize how much I want this game, I gave myself a proper avatar here. (I probably should have done that way earlier, but better late than never.)

Ha ha, Nameless… you’re obsession with Dragon Hopper is amusing at times. You’re not alone however, I too would love to play it. Dragon Hopper is rather special since, I forgot where it was exactly that I read this but, an article I read somewhere stated that the game was practically finished and even had it’s cover art and box done as well–it was just never mass-printed.

So its cool to know that the game isn’t just some partially finished proto-type, it’s complete and out there… somewhere… over the rainbow… 😮

if i had made the game i would want it to leak out so people could enjoy my hard work. its like an artist that never gets to show his work…its sad.

as for dragon hopper. are there any videos of it anywhere?

I can’t really explain it, though I really only show that obsession here. (On more general gaming forums, you’ll find me with a Spathi avatar and an obsession for Star Control II instead, for instance.) All I know is that I MUST play it! (Heck, I’ll even pass up Mother 3 N64 to play it!)

Here’s the only one that I know of.

It’s very poor-quality (can hardly make out anything), and there’s no sound, but at least it’s a video.

it sucks that the only video doesn’t even have any action in it…i seriously would pay $5000 for that game. hell, I’d pay that for a dump of it that i can play on the flash boy or emulator. Seriously, if anyone has it and wants $5000 for a dump, let me know.

5000 US$? I know I want the game, all right, but that could buy me THREE high-end gaming computers!

Unfortunately, I have the feeling that whoever has it might want to charge even more, possibly up to a million or something. Worse off is that I probably wouldn’t be able to afford the game if I stumbled upon an opportunity, at least not at the moment.

I’ve put out an offer of over $5000 for Dragon Hopper, but no takers. Supposedly there’s one out there, but it seems like it’s not available at any price :-(.

maybe if we combined our money they would go for it.

its probably best to wait. i have a hunch that nintendo will be releasing some VB games on virtual console, and who knows, dragon hopper could be one of them.

I don’t think Nintendo will release anything related to the Virtual Boy. They don’t even mention the console in their official sales charts nor in the number of games developed for their systems. I guess they don’t want to know anything else about it. They are kind of ashamed of it (unfortunately for us…)

Yea, that sucks that Nintendo hated the thing, and wishes it never existed.
But I guess that’s why we [or at least I] love it.

Why would you want it on the Virtual Console? Noob.

^ Well, it would be kind of fun to stick it to the hoarders. (Or in this case, hoarder)

I can almost hear the person with the Dragon Hopper copy going “neener neener” as he finds out how much some of us want to play it. >;[

Honestly… I don’t think it looks that fun. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be fun, but I haven’t seen anything from that game that gets me too excited about it. IMO Zero Racers looks much more exciting.

I dont think they are hiding the virtual boy form the public, and I do think they will eventually have the games on virtual console.

Why would you want it on the Virtual Console? Noob.

because its better than not having it at all.

Also, someone would be able to hack the ROM image (not to mention the emulator itself) out of their Wii and (hopefully) share it.

BTW, the name-calling really makes you “1337”…

…not 😛

I am 1337 :3

Ha ha. And by him asking for it on the Virtual Console, he wasn’t talking about hacking the ROM image, he was talking about playing it. Which would be dumb.

i initially thought this wasn’t worth the reply, but i’m interested in your logic, or the lack thereof. how, exactly, would that be dumb? i can certainly see how it would not be dumb, but i am having a hard time conceptualizing anything pertaining to the opposite.

And IMO, Zero Racers isn’t that interesting.

Let’s face it-we all have different tastes in games. (Unfortunately, people on System Wars boards have nothing better to do than to try and force those tastes on everyone else, but this luckily isn’t one of those forums.)
